Meet the Radical DOJ Lawyer Suing Florida to Keep Foreigners on Voter Rolls
Two items of note. In the complaint, the DOJ did not bring the threatened case under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. DOJ claimed in a letter that the voter purge procedure had not been precleared by DOJ under the Voting Rights Act. People familiar with Florida’s election procedures tell me that threat was baseless, that all of the laws and rules had been precleared.
Lastly, PJ Media has been reporting for two years how the Eric Holder DOJ refuses to bring Section 8 cases under Motor Voter to force states to clean up their voter rolls. Indeed, I first broke news about these corrupt instructions in July 2010, instructions which DOJ has never specifically denied, because they can’t. A former Justice Department official tells me tonight it is “deliciously ironic that the first and only NVRA Section 8 case brought by the Justice Department is one seeking to block the removal of ineligible voters.”
I’m usually a fan of delicious irony, but this latest outrage from Obama’s embattled attorney general marks a new corrupt low, even for him.
The phrase “bring it, bitch” comes to mind. But that would be racist, wouldn’t it.
I was thinking…”Gee, yet another grossly overweight african-american female with power-issues and delusions of grandeur. What a surprise.”
Stereotype? You bet your sweet bippy.
The reason there ARE stereotypes is because people act STEREOTYPICALLY.
The fastidious, detail-driven German
The expressive, talk-with-the-hands Italian
The emotional, passionate Frenchman
The Stoic, stiff-upper-lipped Brit
These stereotypes have been around for a long, long time. Though it may be incorrect to assume that ALL people from those regions are like that, it still seems to be “legal” to say, “The Brits are known for their stoicism and stiff upper lip countenance”.
But if I point out that “The majority of african-american women do seem to have a two axe-handle wide posterior” then I’m sure I’ll get it for making a racist remark, regardless of the fact that the official records of obesity among black women bear that truth out.
We live in a society now where everyone’s offended and also a victim. we spend so much time tending to everybody’s hurt feelings that we are, essentially crippled (or is that “physically-challenged”?) by it. We can’t get anything done in our workplaces or even at the corner convenience store run by people who barely speak English.
So here we have an arrogant, self-important, over-compensating, overweight black female. What are the odds?
Oh, and she’s ugly, too.
Re the old joke: Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and it is all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and it is all organized by the Italians.
I think we’ve found a new Hell, one where incompetence is in charge of justice.
My dream is that, in Eternity, Sir Winston Churchill is running whatever realm to which Obama is assigned.
It took a corrupt village to raise a corrupt person like Jenigh.
At first I would have ventured that she was from Chicago; she seems to fit the mold. But according to Google she is from new York. Not that much difference, I guess. These left-leaning socialist-crazy universities are turning out more and more liberal wackos every day. George Soros must be SO proud! Oh, and yes, she does fit the ‘mold’, in every way. Statistics do not lie, afterall.
you said >>> But if I point out that “The majority of african-american women do seem to have a two axe-handle wide posterior” then I’m sure I’ll get it for making a racist remark, regardless of the fact that the official records of obesity among black women bear that truth out. <<<
this is hilarious… but you forgot one other "group" that also fits this stereotype: "white trailer trash". So, people like the present subject have no exclusive handle on this set of criteria. They share it with another group. I have to propose, however, that had DOJ selected a lawyer from this second group, there wouuld be a far higher possibility of a "just" outcome. But then, when's the last time you ever heard of a lawyer from that second group, the one I mentioned above? To fit your stereotype, a certain substantial element of uppitiness is requisite. That "quality" is largely lacking in the people group I mentioned.
True. However, I have noticed that white trailer trash seldom tries to be above their raisin’. I’ve never gotten a bunch of lip from some WTT woman who cut in front of me in line when I protested. I’ve never been lectured about “fairness” by anyone in that group. WTT-folk largely like to be left alone and though there are certainly stereotypical “markers”, most seem decent albeit somewhat slender-minded at times.
As with all things, there’s good and bad in all. However, the branch manager at my bank is one of the two-axe handle wide types and she is actually one of my favorite people. Smart, very nice, helpful, never any hint of thinking that “whitey is out to get her”. Naturally, I treat her with the respect she deserves and she returns it in-kind. I’ve needed her help on occasion with some weird bank things and she was more than patient and extremely helpful. She is NOT an Obama fan.
As I’ve said in other threads over the months, there are black conservatives and they and I get along just fine. They have told me of their own troubles dealing with black liberals who feel they’re entitled.
Nice to know they are here though and that the conservative way of life and thinking is valid, which I never doubted but worried about as an endangered species.
“The Stoic, stiff-upper-lipped Brit”
I’ve been advised that this breed is now extinct.
In all probability she’s an affirmative action recipient all through her education and career so it is unlikely she’ll win. Just stir things up enough to cause trouble.
P Jay, as a former Army officer friend of mine used to say, “There are very real reasons for many stereotypes to exist.” Another truth is that the use of stereotypes is only forbidden to conservatives. Liberals apply them all the time, especially in matters of race, where Southerners are all viewed and depicted as ignorant, knuckle-dragging rednecks. The bi-coastal, liberal media have stereotyped virtually the entire population of flyover country as unsophisticated rubes incapable of understanding their own, elite, finely-tuned nuances.
Even the conservative media, many of whom are just as inflicted with white guilt as their liberal counterparts, will jump on you for perceived stereotyping in matters of race. Look what happened recently to the prominent conservative writer who offered his son some very sound advice regarding urban survival. Until conservatives, especially the editors who control what gets posted, overcome their fear of being called racists, we are going to see this double standard used to club us into silent acquiescence by scheming liberals who love to play the race card to their, and only their, advantage.

Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”

Stereotypes need not be despised, only exposed for their errors.
C’mon. We all know what she is and why she’s doing these dumb-ass things. She’s one of Holder’s “people” and, like Obama, they have a plan. They’re racists and he’s a socialist as well. OIt’s time to stop pussyfooting around with these stupid people and kick them out of any office.
Jenigh Garret should be ignored. Completely and utterly ignored. And every citizen voter in Florida should sue her for robbing them of their legitimate franchise. Ignore her. And sue her and the ILLEGITIMATE DOJ for which she works.
Why does that photo not surprise me.
So, Florida can stop all of these allegations and DOJ suits by doing the following (and they have to do it now, if they wait until after the primary they’re into the 90 day window for the real election).
Split their voter rolls into the current voter rolls and one for the November and after elections.
Purge EVERYBODY from the November rolls (don’t touch the primary rolls).
Everybody must now re-register to vote for November and later.
Randomly check status of 1 out of 10 or 20 re-registrants (everything, do they live where they said, are they a citizen, is it their signature, are they breathing, etc.). Because it’s random, no-one can complain. Yeah, right, they’ll bitch anyway.
Who will check? Hey pull the vice squads off drug busts and sniffing over fences for a few months and let them do it. Pull the SWAT teams off warant service and dog killing and let them do it. You know … get some useful work out of them.
Oh, and make them sign under penalty of purgery that they really checked, then have random follow ups on 1 of 10 or 20 of the checked (by people from a different county) to make sure it happened and actually prosecute the people who sloffed it off.
Any ‘get out the vote’ person who signed up multiple people, and you find problems with some, gives you probable cause to verify all of the sign-ups by that person.
They can also investigate any questionable registrants as normal.
Florida may then end up with a fairly clean voter roll.
Your suggestion would blatenly violate federal law.
Respectfully, which federal law would be violated, Mr. Adams?
I’m so pleased that FL is making the attempt to purge illegal voters. I wish that all 50 states would do so, or at least the ones with large populations and the so-called swing states.
Nice work. These practices need to be exposed.
Don’t worry #1, everything is racist…
Jenigh Garrett – Black, female and Democrat. She’s untouchable. ‘Integrity’ (no pun intended) and equality for ALL is B S to this type of woman.
If she’s lesbian as well I call it, ‘hitting the rotation’. Ms. Garrett can claim to be a deity and would get praise!
paul, in Israel, we have a saying for such ‘untouchables’, they are referred to as ‘etrogs’.
An ‘etrog’ can do the most dastardly things, whether they hail from the elected or non-elected functionaries. But most importantly, if they hail from the PC left they are able to get away with the most dastardly deeds, even murder. The thinking goes, if such and such had to use such extreme measures, surely the son of a bitch (who is usually nationalist and conservative) diD something to deserve it.
To wit, this race-baiting, most likely affirmative action lawyer is doing what she does best-sticking it to whitey in spite of the laws on the books!
Adina,
It’s all the more discouraging with Israel, U.S. and other superpowers being 11 + years into the 21st Century and overlooking, ie.e allowing grifters such as this below-average Jenigh Garrett given carte blanche on anything and everything for something as nonsensical as melanin is asinine.
As you mentioned, ‘etrogs’ are sadly a part of Israel’s movers and shakers environment, also.
In the U.S., American’s with Asian lineage received (and continue doing so) far worse and more recent disparages than that of Blacks.
Not to mention the anti-Asian sentiment or passed over attitudes of excelling Asian’s applying to colleges, workplaces etc., for POS, AA-EEO hires like this enemy of the state, Jenigh Garrett – is beyond reason for an advanced, TRUE progressive society.
I don;t give 2 s hits about one’s race. If the person(s) lucid, intelligent and intention is to better society as a whole, you’ve my backing. But this divisive, nonsensical, faux-reparation seeking turd is too much.
“hitting the rotation,” is actually called hitting for the cycle. But we get it, in spades…I just made myself laugh.
Obama blacks are becoming a synonym for stupid.
When were they ever smart
which will soon be replaced by moron and then idiot and finally amoeba….
Remember, for people like Jenigh Garrett, it is all about their intentions, results be damned. If they have good intentions, the law or results do not matter.
When Romney takes over, I hope everyone hired during Obama’s tenure has a long, hard look taken at their performance, and is fired/retained accordingly.
Heh, who am I kidding, these people will remain at their posts, just like they did when Clinton left, because Republicans are The Stupid Party.
<a href="Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution says and I quote "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Maybe you at DOJ are confused buy the term Citizens of the United States. If you're not a citizen of the US no matter how long you've been hiding out. No matter what party you favor and no matter how many babies you've had.
Restrictions on the Right to Vote
In order to vote, you must…
A. Reside in a voting district for at least one month.
B. Be at least 18 years of age.
C. Not be in prison or on parole for a felony conviction.
D. Be a U.S. citizen.
E. Register to vote.
If Florida is throwing people off the roles because they aren't legal to vote wouldn't it be illegal for them to not throw illegals out because they can't legally vote? And they're here illegally anyway.
You forgot these two:
F) be a genuine homo sapiens sapiens
G) be undeceased
What, Neanderthals don’t get to vote, too? Speciesist!
Hey! I’m proud of my neanderthal heritage!
(Neanderthal male and female skeletons have the same wear and breakage patterns indicating a lack of sex roles. A neanderthal woman would have trouble understanding “women’s lib”; “You think you need permission in order to go out and club a cave lion to death just like the men do?”)
They have to keep those illegal voters ln the rolls. Otherwise how can they ever generate enough votes to win in FLA.
Obama’s eligibility is now being challenged in Florida … that’s gonna be an interesting battle which may force Obama to disclose documents or …. …
we’ll see. Hopefully … the judge in this case will have to man-up and fight for our constitution …. …
I believe the hearing will be held on Monday, June 18th.
There is only one possible conclusion to draw from the DOJ’s ludicrous intervention in Florida’s voting register cleansing and that is they want to FACILITATE voter FRAUD. It is of course also ludicrous to suggest that purging FOREIGNERS and DEAD PEOPLE from a voting register and requiring voters to PROVE they are eligible by showing PHOTO ID is somehow RACIST.
What is RACIST however is the DOJ’s ASSUMPTION that somehow its ONLY Hispanics and BLACKS who would be inconvenienced meaning they ASSUME thats who votes when FOREIGN or when DEAD and that while alive are either INCAPABLE or too STUPID to obtain a PHOTO ID.
But hey they got an UNQUALIFIED USURPER in to the Presidential Office and he never even had to produce a VAULT Birth Certificate and was allowed to run even though with a FOREIGN Father he cannot be a NATURAL Born Citizen.
Sorry, Pragmatist, but your “natural born citizen” argument is bogus. I don’t support the 0, but if he was born in Hawaii, regardless of the citizenship status of either or both parents, he was a U.S. citizen at birth. As such, he is eligible to run for and be elected to the post of President of the U.S. The authority for this is the 15h Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which made all slaves and anyone else born in the U.S. a citizen and eligible to vote.
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
One is “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” by dint of one’s presence in the U.S., unless the person is a diplomat as certified by the U.S. Department of State, including the children of said diplomat.
Fifteenth Ammendment deals with CITIZENSHIP with regard to voting. Article 2, Sectionn 1, fifth paragraph, specifies that the President, alone amongst all national officers, shsll be a “natural born citizen”, a qualification more stringent than for any other position. Four different Supreme COurt cases have dealt with the issue of defining “natural born citizen”, and in every case, the definition included that such persons be born of TWO United States Citizens. Thus, Obama fails, as his daddy was a kenyan, and thus a British Subject. NOT a US Citizen. He could have been born inside the Oval Office of the WHite House with TV cameras rolling… his daddy’s bring a British Subject makes him NOT a natural born citizen under law, and this ineliggible for president. Senator, Congressman, dogcatcher, fine.. but NOT president. And there’s NOTHING he can do to change that. Unless it comes out that OObama senior is NOT his biological father…. some speculation names another man as his rela father, this is unconfirmed. I do nt know the citizenship status of that other man, nor do I remember his name. Obama Junior claims Obama Senior to be his biological father, and thus that he is not a natural born citizen.
The other Fella was Frank Marshall Davis and before I saw a picture of Barry’s half brother in China I would have agreed with that (that Marshall was his father). But this half brother looks so much like Barry that Obama Sr just might really be his biological father.
This also means Barry is not a natural born citizen as his father was a British subject and his mother was not old enough to pass along her citizenship.
BTW – this also makes it true that Marco Rubio and Bobbie Jindal are also not natural born citizens as their parents weren’t citizens at the time of their birth.
Why don’t Republicans adopt Democrat tactics to unset a few senior Democrat politicians? You know, the dead rising and voting Republican; Republicans winning most of the votes from south of the Rio Grande; that sort of thing.
After the Democrat howls of protest, strict voter ID laws would follow, just as day follows night.
“Why don’t Republicans adopt Democrat tactics to unset a few senior Democrat politicians?”
We are encumbered by things such as dignity, civility, and respect for the rule of law, thus giving the Democrats an unfair advantage in this fight.
It’s Flip Wilson!
Ha! The Devil made her do it, baby!
Democrats oppose voter ID requirements, oppose purging the rolls of deceased/relocated/ineligible voters, and oppose the enforcement of immigration laws all while assuring us that voter fraud is at negligible levels.
My questions are, how much fraud is “negligible” (remember, Florida decided the presidential race in 2000 by a mere 527 votes, that’s 0.00466%!)? If you don’t verify voters’ IDs, how do you know there is no fraud? How could you know? And exactly what would Democrats do to ensure the integrity of the vote?
I posed those questions to Bill Nelson’s office last week – calmly and politely – and listened to a staffer mutter and stumble for five minutes before hanging up on me. Pathetic.
A factor that seems to be unmentioned in most, if not all, comments so far: if only ALL who were registered to vote got out and voted on election day! Here are some figures from a previous General Election in my own country, the UK; the year was 2005:-
Total electorate – 37,919,148
Total votes cast:- 23,074,124
This works out at a 61% turn-out, which I can assure you is a bit on the low side by British standards. Actually, not one winning party in the UK has ever secured a majority vote in ant General Election. Nevertheless, I was assured by a correspondent on your side of the water that that turn-out was actually quite high by US standards.
As for the removal of ineligible persons from electoral registers, I cannot see how any reasonable person can possibly have any reason for opposing it. So, go ahead, Florida!
You hit the nail on the head! Voter apathy in this country is epidemic! Last election I think we had a turnout of about 54% of registered voters (and I think we only have about 60% registered who are eligible to register, so we start out with a lowball count of those who should be able to vote).
So let’s roll it out. Only about 60% of those eligible, ARE registered to voted.
Of that 60%, only a little more than half bothered to vote.
Of that little more than half, a little over half voted for Obama.
Now of that little more than half, we know there is probably about 10% nationwide fraud voting on the democrat side.
ALL this squabbling about voter fraud would go away if everybody who was eligible not only registered but cast their vote.
Every time I see the voter turnout numbers for Western democracies, I think back to the turnout at the first Iraqi elections after Saddam Hussein was deposed.
The Iraqis managed a voter turnout of over 80% at a time when there was a very real danger to life and limb from snipers and homicide bombers in even venturing outside. Here in Canada, we’re lucky to see 60% turnout in a federal or provincial election and much less in a local election. Furthermore, that assumes lovely weather; we know that number is lower when the weather is bad. And I’m not talking about blizzards or tornadoes here, just a light rainfall or dusting of snow. This is despite the fact that polling stations are typically only a short walk or drive from our homes.
Think about that! Iraqis dodged bullets and bombs and over 80% voted in that first election. We fear dodging raindrops and snowflakes and barely manage 60% turnout. Sometimes. It’s just plain shameful.
I think it speaks to fundamental problems with our political system. For some reason, huge numbers of people just don’t participate in elections. If we could figure out why, maybe we could get the voter turnouts to increase….
She checks a lot of boxes, no doubt. Too bad the “integrity” box is left unchecked. She and Elise Shore are pathetic.
It’s gonna take many gallons of bleach to clean up DOJ next year.
Jenigh Garrett
Nothing statesman-like in any of this crowd. Only interested in “the law” to the extent they can tweak it in service to a personal agenda.
The justice dept. is a microcosm of the larger government, a government now comprised of institutions filled with appalling, limited individuals, serving in our “national” (no longer federal) government, pursuing nothing but their own small minded goals.
Which characterization suits the entire impetus for Fast and Furious, a convoluted, inept, backdoor plot to fulfill Barack Obama’s assurances to James Brady that “we’re working on it” to destroy citizens’ second amendment freedoms.
If democrats can’t get convicted felons, illegals, dead people and dead pets on the voter rolls, they know they haven’t a snowball’s chance in hell of prevailing in November, even with all the intended fraud in vote tabulation factored in.
Their entire strategy is well captured in one line from Andy Stern, former SEIU President and most frequent visitor to Obama’s White House during the first 2 years:
“If we can’t use the power of persuasion, we’ll use the persuasion of power.”
If the current crop of Soros sponsored leftists, individuals now dominating the democrat party, came forward and told the whole truth about their plans for this country, they know most Americans would shriek in horror.
Throw all these bums out. Get them as far away from the machinery of governance as possible.
Wonder what her high school and college grades looked like. Like, is she smart and competent or no? My guess is she’s just as smart and competent as her bosses Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder.
Which means she’s not totally untouchable.
If Holder insists on hiring these doofi, and they are then protected by different affirmative action rules / laws, can a private citizen sue her into bankruptcy and get at her *that* way?
I doubt you could sue successfully. She’s a black woman and you’re “obviously” a “racist.”
Does anybody remember the bruhaha AG Gonzales endured over the DoJ political hiring? What, pray tell, is this woman doing at Justice?
Precious Token knows he cannot win without massive, massive fraud and voter intimidation (black panthers anyone)? But don’t worry, the Congressional Black Caucus is already planning the post-election race-riots as even they are beginning to realize that their boy has become so unpopular that their best criminal efforts will be unavailing. It’s going to get very, very interesting pretty soon…..
A new one of my fears is what will little o do between early Nov. and late Jan. in the event that he doesn’t successfully steal this election.
Just keepin’ it real…..gnomesayin’?
Thank you Mr. J. C. Adams. You have the expertise, and experience to filter out the noise and point exactly to the serious, illegal conduct within our DoJ.
Beyond the crooked conduct you expose, our nation has an existential issue to resolve, the proper and valid use of electronic detection and digital computation to identify an individual, while maintaining our privacy. The SC must face their constitutional error in Roe v Wade: there is nothing in the constitution which conveys the right of privacy to a citizen. In an empty continent, this was not a problem. It is today.
Photo ID is simply a step. For two generations, the DoD has studied what information should be installed on dog tags. Indeed it is now readily possible to imbed a chip in the human body and read the information externally. It is a readily doable technical problem to identify every one, at all times, in every aspect of their lives, without their consent, by big brother. It is easy to identify an alien at the election site, a gun purchaser at a gun show, or a Jew.
Our problem is three fold: what can be done, should be done, and no body cheats.
“it is now readily possible to imbed a chip in the human body”
Wow~! Doesn’t the bible foretell of this? Instead of branding a “666″ on a person, why not just insert a microchip?
Life is weird.
They’ve already gotten this thing down smaller and flatter than a grain of rice. Vicente Fox (former president of Mexico) and all of his cabinet were embedded with this chip – either in the back of their hand or their foreheads.
Du, du, duuuuuunnnnnnn!
Pets have been getting microchipped for years. My mothers two cats are both microchipped.
My earlier post seems to have been filtered for no reason I can imagine. Here’s the gist of it:
Who, if anyone, can investigate voting machines serviced and/or rigged by SEIU or other Obamabots? I have a personal story of McCain votes being turned into Obama votes by machines in 08 in Charlotte, NC, as well as the stories from Nevada in 2010. I have searched the Internet a bit plus contacted Judicial Watch and True the Vote but cannot find a hint of anyone investigating this very-hard-to-detect but very possible method of massive voter fraud.
I would think a possible place to start would be investigating which groups have contracts to service machines in which states, particularly battleground ones.
Voting machines arent the issue.
Mr. Adams, I have followed your published articles and inspirational speeches at True the Vote events with great admiration for several years now, but I am perplexed as to how fraudulent-vote-producing voting machines aren’t a part of the issue. It seems no one wants to talk about this. Unless the stories from Nevada aren’t true? However, I know for a fact my story from NC is true.
My grandson had to furnish his Birth Certificate ( original, thank you ) and his Passport or original Social Security Card just to get a summer job. The DOJ thinks it is just fine to require nothing of those who vote. Somewhere along the way, We The People let the inmates run the asylum. Our DOJ kinows no absolutes, their laws flex depending on the day of the week and Holder is about as dynamic as a blob of fly poop on the sidewalk. Americans must take the reins and steer their nation toward what is legal and right. Holder needs to be sent to the nearest equivalent of Napoleon’s Elbe !
Jenigh Garret’s mother also told her she is 1/32nd Cherokee. Cover all the liberal bases, baby.
And I’m sure she has some kind of handicap as well, even if it isn’t a visible one. Dyslexia maybe?
Lysdexia….A thing awful is.
So does this complaint on the technicality have merit? How do you see this playing out? Are they just buying time until the election? Does Florida have to stop removing voters while this gets sorted out?
I read somewhere last week, that the DNC in Charlotte this year would require photo ID’s to enter.
Look at that — they apparently don’t want blacks or hispanics at their convention. What a bunch of racists!
Notwithstanding DOJ’s anti-democratic motives, unfortunately federal law does prohibit the states from purging registered voters within 90 days of a federal election. So what Florida needs to do is complete the purge no later than 90 days before the NOVEMBER general election. There is time to do that. The problem can be solved. DOJ can be thwarted legally.
Not entirely true. Federal law DOES allow the purge of certain classes of voters. The 90 day rule only applies to the inactive sort.
As I look at it, maybe she can go to NY and have fall under Bloomberg’s rules for obese people that might become a burden on the health care system. Or maybe she has been living too high on the hog, on taxpayer’s money and time to fire her, and let her earn her salary.
Sorry about the stereotype, but there are reasons that stereotyping works, because it is based on facts.
WALKERS WINS IN WISCONSIN, POLLING NOW SHOWS EXIT POLLS WRONG AND ROMNEY LEADING
SCOTT PURGING VOTER ROLLS, TELL HOLDER SHOVE IT
N.DAKOTA FLUSH WITH OIL REVENUE AND SALES TAX RECEIPTS SOAR 82%
Now that is a trifecta of hope and change that American can embrace.
If Obama had another daughter she would look like this,arrogant and totally out of touch with reality.
This woman has no authority and should be ignored, because; her boss, Eric Holder, is currently in contempt of Congress, has brought the Justice Department to an unconstitutional state, and should have been removed a year ago; and the fraudulent president, Obama, who is not eligible to be president; has no authority. Therefore Florida, and every other state in the Union should continue to bring integrity to elections or we will get another Obama as president, or worse; civil war.
What happens if all States taking “not DOJ-approved” actions to have fraud-free elections continue full speed ahead without regard to DOJ interference? UN Peacekeepers? Riots at voting places? Governors arrested?
So, are the means to ensure that everyone who has a legal right to vote gets to vote reasonable and effective?
Are the means to ensure that everyone who does not have a legal right to vote does not get to vote reasonable and effective?
What are the type 1 and type 2 error rates (people kept from voting who should be allowed to vote, and people allowed to vote who are not really eligible)?
How can they be improved, i.e. how can both of those error rates be decreased?
And, no, neither Florida nor any other populous state can wipe the voter registration rolls and re-register millions of legitimate voters between now and August 14, nor between now and November 6. It wouldn’t be possible, and new problems would be created in the rushed attempt.
Ion Sancho, who refuses to remove the people the Florida State Department believe are dead or illegal aliens from the rolls of Leon county (in which the state capital, Tallahassee lies and where he’s the county supervisor of elections), sends out new cards with districts to every registered voter from time to time. Those returned as “addressee unknown” are flagged and they’re required to verify their address and such to the polling place manager before voting; ditto if they haven’t voted for the last several elections. Of course, if the new cards are dropped in a drainage ditch or the garbage rather than returned, no one would know. They have for quite a while in Florida and Leon county, had to show picture and signature IDs, but the rules allow a wide range of ID cards, many of which could be easily counterfeited. Neither elections office personnel nor pollling place workers are hand-writing and signature experts and people’s signatures are not exactly the same every time, so only the most superficial comparisons are possible between their IDs and signatures in the books, and their registration cards are locked away in the county elections office space, not at the polling places. There’s some tricky business restricting what the poll workers can say, too. This past primary, they were restricted to looking at the ID and telling them to sign the book certifying that the name, residence address, birth-date, etc., are correct, under potential penalty for perjury, but the relevant state statutes and regulations have undergone minor shifts over the last couple decades. E.g. for a time, the poll-worker would repeat the address, another time poll-workers were instructed to ask the potential voter to state the address, but there are privacy concerns. And there are always the rare typographical errors to contend with.
If the poll-worker (“inspector”) is at all uncertain or the voter doesn’t have one of the allowed kinds of ID, or the voter’s name and address don’t appear in her sub-set of the precinct’s registration rolls, she’s instructed to refer the voter to the polling place manager (“clerk”) or assistant manager, who can cross-check a registration book ordered by address or one ordered by name within the precinct or check with the office if need be (which can check with the State Department), or let the voter cast a provisional ballot (with a sworn statement by the voter that he believes he is a US citizen eligible to vote in that precinct, etc.) which the county canvassing board (including the county electons supervisor, a county judge…) examines, investigates and then sends a letter back to the voter giving their decision.
In a typical voting day, in my experience, the polling place folks will typically have a morning, noonish, and evening call to or from the county office, and there may be 2 calls to the office to sort out unusual circumstances for particular voters or wannabe voters. For a big turn-out presidential election, with write-ins, and lots of different offices being voted on, and state constitutional amendments, that may go up to as many as 5 to 10 per precinct, and similar numbers of provisional ballots, and a similar numbers of invalidated ballots because a voter says he made a mistake and wants to try again. One time we had an equipment failure. The polling places of different sizes where I’ve worked have had a 25% to 60% turn-out resulting in 500 to 1000 votes cast at the polling place in the most numerously voted contest on the ballot (about the same as what my mother used to tell me back when she was a poll worker). Others may have wider and differing experience.
Ion is quite conscientious and, though he’s a little biased, does a pretty good job of keeping his political biases from causing a bias in the process (far better than his 3 predecessors based on what I’ve been able to find out). He’s even improved how he discusses it so as to avoid/reduce the possibility of bias or perceived bias. Ditto his staffers, who, if anything, are even better at staying unbiased than he has been. It’s even extremely rare for his poll-workers to make such slip-ups in word and, so far as I can tell, totally avoid both bias and appearance of bias in action. Oh, and each polling place is intentionally staffed by people with differing party affiliations/non-affiliation.
If you’ve got concerns, I recommend that you apply for work with your local elections office, or the state agency or department that handles the elections process, so you can join the others who are already carefully watching each other to ensure against intentional or unintentional bias or corruption.
NO ONE IS BEING STOPPED FroM VOTING IN FLORIDA_ even if you are “purged” you may vote a provisional ballot- and if proved to be a citizen living at the address you registered under- the vote counts.
These racist lefties in Obamantion are truly insane- they yell about corporate influence on elections, from whom their guy gets the most money- and yet they are pro-fraud? anyone who has the word JUSTICE in their job description should be all over removing illegals and multiple voters.
What a bunch of hypocrites and liars they prove to be YET AGAIN
How could Floridians who know about this legal suit honestly vote for the Democrats in the November election? This will backfire on Obama and his pals; they will lose more votes through the anger of the electorate, then they gain through the illegal voting during the election!
It would be instructive to see what the proportion of legitimate voters removed by “accident” by the purge to the actual number of voters who are found to be either illegally or inaccurately on the rolls. My guess is for every illegal voter removed, at least 2-4 legitimate voters will find themselves removed from the rolls when they show up to vote.
This would be no surprise to ANYONE who knew ANYTHING about what happened in Florida in 2000 BEFORE the election even began. Purges were run that PURPOSELY cast a wider-than-needed net that ensnared many legitimate voters, one for instance specifically targeting former felons. Funny how most of them were black as, of course, were the voters removed from the rolls. Voter caging operations also were run that purposely targeted minority communities in the name of removing the names of people that had moved. If you are “caged”, you have to respond or your name is removed. If you don’t receive the letter or don’t respond to it, you’re off the rolls. The result was that many legitimate voters were removed and most of them were minorities.
That is why the Justice Department is rightly stepping in. Florida is under a special rules because of it’s history of discrimination.
The current purge is being done supposedly to remove illegal immigrants but is using a list so flawed that almost ALL election supervisors in Florida are refusing to obey Gov. Scott’s demands. Republican Ann McFall, county supervisor of elections for Volusia County, said the Governor’s lawsuit does not have her support and she will not resume purging voters before the elections, regardless of the suit’s outcome.
But then, you’re all up to speed on all this, right? I mean, you’re jpmedia people, you MUST be getting the straight scoop, right????
As you said, it is a guess. And even if you are right, federal law requires removal, period. The goal should be to follow federal law the right way, not to turn a blind eye toward lawlessness, as you propose.
I didn’t propose any such thing.
What I pointed out is that the selective targeting going on in florida (and many other states) to solve a non-existent problem (voter fraud), is doing more harm than good (but that’s the point, isn’t it?). It’s like using a chainsaw to cut butter, it creates more problems than it solves. There IS no voter fraud problem, there is instead a highly vulnerable electronic voting apparatus.
The Brennan Center for Justice reveals a voter fraud rate of 0.00004% in the closely-analyzed 2004 election in Ohio, for instance. This is a problem? Yet, in Ohio prior to the 2004 vote, Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell stripped some 308,000 Ohio citizens from the registration rolls in heavily Democratic districts. This mass disenfranchisement alone may have accounted for the 118,000-plus official margin that gave George W. Bush a second term in the White House. And after the 2004 vote, Blackwell disenfranchised another 170,000 voters in heavily Democratic Franklin County (Columbus).
And, this was just ONE of the many strategies being used to target Democratic voters from caging operations using do-not-forward letters to short-changing heavily Democratic districts of voting machines on election day causing lines that in some cases resulted in 12-hour waits to targeting voter registration drives and causing turmoil by making a last-minute demand that the weight of the paper stock being used in the registration drives be changed. One result of these campaigns to remove voters from the roles in Ohio in 2004 was 141,000 provisional ballots being cast, 16,000 of which have never been counted. All of this to address a voter fraud rate of 0.00004%? If you believe that all of this is about “voter fraud”, I’ve got a bridge to nowhere with your name on it. You’re either an ignorant doofus or a willing participant in the propaganda campaign. Which is it? Are you about making the most elemental democratic function take place without sabotage or are you the one trying to steal elections?
What’s been going on is a blatant strategy to target and remove Democrat-supporting voters from the roles in a massive, nation-wide campaign and it’s been going on for years. In Florida, for instance, what historically has taken place under the guise of “following the law” has been the real lawlessness going back to poll taxes and terrorism to keep blacks from voting but much more pervasive and effective in recent years. Because of it’s long history of voter suppression Florida is under special legal restrictions enforced by the Justice Department regarding it’s voting procedures. There should have been serious consequences long before now, especially for the 2000 election3.
If you REALLY gave a flying f*ck about secure elections (which you obviously don’t), you would be campaigning night and day over the easily-hackable computer voting systems that have been put in place, and used to steal elections, by Republicans as DOCUMENTED in the on-going lawsuit in Ohio, King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell. If you think this is tin-foil-hat-wearing conspiracy crap, I suggest you look up the case and read what’s happening there. Recent documents actually show the architecture of the computer system design (called a “man-in-the-middle”) used to steal the Ohio election in 2004 for Bush. On Election Night 2004, Republican Sec. of State Blackwell e-mailed Ohio’s electronic vote count to a basement in Chattanooga, Tennessee that also housed the servers for the Republican National Committee. That night the tally “miraculously” shifted from Kerry to Bush between 12:30 and 2 am, ultimately giving Bush a second term. Exit polls showed Kerry WINNING Ohio before this inexplicable diversion of votes to a Republican-controlled computer system. The IT expert for the Ohio voting system was sent home that night and the system was taken over by “private contractors”. It’s on the record, people.
Exit polls have consistantly shown a bias for Liberals and Democrats, even in areas under the total control of Democrats, and even when Soros selected staff are in charge of the voting and counting. Exit polls are useless.
You say that voter fraud does not exist, therefore there is no need to see if it exists? Don’t know if no one looks. And you cherry pick your proof.
I’ll second moving to a more secure voting method, just on GP’s.
Your opinion of exit polls aside (BTW, they are considered the gold standard of polls), what happened in Ohio – as shown by documents submitted in a court of law including contracts between Blackwell and a Republican -run high-tech firm and witness testimony – was theft of the highest order. This action plainly documented – and ignored by the “liberal” MSM – dwarfs any so-called “election fraud” caused by the occasion vote from someone dead, a felon supposedly not allowed to vote, or some illegal immigrant. These examples of fraud are certainly worth addressing but as the example I posted above from the 2004 Ohio election clearly show, the real crimes were completely ignored (and have yet to be prosecuted or even discussed in the press). The numbers of voters affected by the campaign to address the so-called voter fraud issue (which was miniscule) affected 100′s of thousands of voters negatively. And, coincidentally, most of those seemed to somehow end up being Democrats).
THAT’S your election security issue. What is going on – and has been going on for years – in Florida and many other states by Republican operatives is nothing more than a full-frontal attack on democracy under the guise of addressing “voter fraud”.
I was wondering how the Republicans seized control of the Senate and why a Republican was elected President.
Oops.
“Democrat”?
Exit polls the gold standard? Hogwash. Republicans and conservatives dodge the poll takers, Democrats are eager to brag up what they did. Exit polls have a constant left bias.
Care to post a link to a credible source regarding exit polls (hint; credible doesn’t include Faux Nooze, Shawn Insannity, Rush Limpbaugh, or Shrill O’Liely).
And, I know it’s hard for you to get your little brain around, but because the Democrats win an election doesn’t in any way mean that elections weren’t stolen in the past or even that attempts were made to steal elections in the present but failed due to overwhelming support for the Democrats. Is that too big a leap for your intellect?
And, BTW, you in no way have responded to the well-documented case of the 2004 election being stolen by Republicans, all you’ve done is trot out nonsense about exit polls.
Here’s a link to an excellent summary of recent developments in the King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell case. If you haven’t heard of this lawsuit, don’t feel like the Lone Ranger, it was voted one of the top ten most censored stories in the world by Project Censored.

“Targeted”, like “military”?
Is “race” on the voter registration? It was not when I lived there 40 years ago.
How many other legal processes require a response withen a set period of time? (Better hope you never get acused of fathering a child in California, even if you are female.)
“Targeting” is no problem at all given the detailed numbers available in every district in the U.S. on voting. You notice that “caging” operations whose purpose supposedly was to keep the voting rolls current never targeted Republican constituents. Duh!
“Targeting” is no problem at all given voting records and demographics available in every district in the U.S.
In “caging” operations, you simply send those letters only to districts with predominantly Democratic voters. DUH!!
Since the DOJ will not prosecute voter fraud nor allow states to take actions to reduce it the obvious answer is to exploit this to the fullest measure possible. That’s just the way the game is played, as established by the DOJ itself. Can’t purge the rolls? Then enter the right votes for illegals and deceased voters that have been identified. Don’t worry , this will just be canceling the effect of the other vote entered for illegitimate voters.
Stereotypes need not be despised, only exposed for their errors. If we poke fun at the sins of others in order to feel good about our own imperfections and insecurities we miss the point of being righteous.

The Holder ordered lawsuit won’t work as Florida has the right to clean up the voter list. The DOJ lady, along with Holder will be packing their things soon as new leadership will be arriving to the White House in a few months.
How many other Nations allow non citizens to vote in their elections?
France maybe since the democrats love France?
How about the former Communist country Russia?

What is it with over-weight black women?
It’s like they were cranked out on an assembly line.
Well put.
