The right to vote is one of the foundations of our democracy. Faith in the integrity of the electoral process is important. There were some problems in the last presidential election with voter fraud, but I don't think it affected the outcome of the election. Hopefully, we have learned enough about the illegal voter registration practices of ACORN to protect ourselves from illegal voter registration in the future. It is up to the elected officials of this country to protect the integrity of the voting process. When they do not do their job, it hurts all of us.
The Bulletin, a Philadelphia newspaper, reported yesterday that Representative Frank Wolf, a Republican from Virginia, issued a public statement saying that Attorney General Eric Holder has instructed staff attorneys to ignore legal subpoenas by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission (CRC) requesting information about the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case.
Mr. Wolf has repeatedly asked Attorney General Holder why the voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panther Party were dismissed. He has not received a reply.
The article points out:
"...Mr. Wolf introduced a measure December 17 that would require the House Judiciary Committee to deal with this issue. He also announced that he had language inserted in the annual spending bill that funds the Justice Department requiring that its Office of Professional Responsibility provide the results of the investigation it is conducting surrounding the dismissal the case to the House Appropriations Committee."
The video at YouTube shows exactly what happened in Philadelphia. To ignore what was done at that polling place is to put future elections in jeopardy.
