I Can’t Believe He Said That

CNS News is reporting today that Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), speaking recently at theĀ U.S. Vote Foundation’s Voting and Elections Summit, said “we need to make voting easier,” and “I’ve often asked myself why you should have to register to vote.”

Voter fraud is a problem in America. I have heard stories from poll watchers, stories of older teenagers sent in to vote multiple times (by their parents) to vote in northeastern cities, and posted stories about True the Vote and other organizations that have uncovered significant voter fraud. If we do not protect the integrity of our elections, we will have a country run by criminals.

Representative Ellison also criticized voter id laws as restricting the right to vote. The statistics do not uphold that claim. In states that have instituted voter id laws, the turnout of voters has not decreased. I support restricting the right to vote of the people not eligible to vote. Ending voter registration will create a free for all of voter fraud.
