Seven Secretaries of State have released a statement criticizing First Lady Michelle Obama for her false claim that Republicans engaged in voter suppression in the November election:
“Unfortunately the First Lady’s comments continue the baseless attacks that have been made upon those leaders who are simply taking reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of elections. This past election speaks for itself.
In Arizona, a state that has a photo ID requirement, Hispanic voter turnout was the highest in the state’s history. In Georgia, African American turnout has remained high in each election after the state adopted its photo ID requirement in 2006. In Kansas, another state with a photo ID requirement, a minuscule .07 percent of voters neglected to bring their IDs to the polls and all were given provisional ballots and opportunity to provide photo identification later.
These examples reflect what is happening in every state that is taking steps to protect the integrity of elections. No voter is impeded from voting. And more voters become engaged in their elections because they have greater confidence their votes will be counted accurately and not cancelled out by illegal votes.
That is why Americans overwhelmingly favor photo ID and other election security measures.”
Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State
Ken Bennett, Arizona
Brian Kemp, Georgia
Scott Gessler, Colorado
Jason Gant, South Dakota
Mark Martin, Arkansas
Tom Schedler, Louisiana
What else can you expect from the emperor’s wife? Anything that is done to prevent her husband from retaining his throne has to be evil and bad.
I think that we should immediately hold a recount of all ballots. Notice how on issues of free speech, liberals want conservatives to shut up while conservatives want liberals to keep talking. We know by now that eventually, if we let them talk enough, liberals will either shove their foot so far down their throats that they can’t breath or we will be presented with an opportunity to make them eat their words. I think it’s definitely time for Mooch to eat her words (Lord knows she eats everything else in sight)!!
Maybe Moochele was talking about voter suppression in IL.
The real issue in this election was the likely voter fraud consisting of many votes probably fraudulently cast for Obama, especially in swing states.
The lesson to be learned from the First Lady’s comments is that liberals, no matter how much they have, no matter how much control they have, no matter what will still try to be victims.
It’s time to stop cutting them slack and just do our best to see to it that they play by the same rules as everybody else.
She’s not that deep. She’s just a talking parrot like her husband, reciting what she’s told by the little echo chamber deluded souls she listens to.
Military voters on the other hand – yeah their vote was totally suppressed. And legitimate republican voters, yeah our vote was totally suppressed in our swing states by the high tidal wave of FRAUD that swamped our elections. Thanks for that, Michelle.
When I saw the headline of her statement I thought she was admitting that the dems cheated by bussing Somalians from Michigan into Ohio to vote. But then I read the story.
One thing doesn’t change; the communists accusing us of what we know they’re doing.
well stated and true…they accuse others of doing what they are already have been doing for a long time.
Truer words never spoken, Art. (Good to see you again– I comment a lot over at theothermccain.com nowadays.)
– is a coward in California.
Amazing that a First Lady can still claim “victomhood” status in the 21st century!
We’ve come So far…
Only one statement needs to be made to queen Michelle….”prove it!”
Mrs. Obama should take every available opportunity to shut up.
Amen. It’s sad that the country has a first lady that’s in no respect a lady.
What the hell does Mo the Ho know? She can’t see beyond her next meal.
I think she should be taken so seriously that an investigation and total recount be initiated at the earliest possible time. This should include verification of all votes and voters on rolls. The election would become null and void, and a new one should be mounted immediately.
And Mrs. Obama should be careful what she asks of the government. I believe the results would be dramatically different because of what know (or don’t know) concerning Obamacare, Benghazi, the Arab Spring, failure to produce a budget.
Here’s where voter identification would allay her fears.
Absolutely spot on, we should keep after her, at least on the net, I have observed for decades that the Progs love to accuse of others what they, in fact, do.
Absolutely! To know what the Left/DNC is doing that is wrong, just check what they are accusing others of doing.
Democrats consider the book 1984, an instruction manual!
Yes please.
“Voter suppression” is just another code word for racism. This trump card gets played whenever the user wants to deflect attention from something else.
DOG WHISTLE!!! RACIST!!! lol
Isn’t it strange that Dems always accuse people or institutions that oppose them of doing what they have been doing in every election since LBJ? How on this earth does a photo ID cause a problem for anyone trying to vote honestly? It looks like the foul odor from Obama has stuck to his wife.
I’m sure Barry would reply that Michelle has made him everything that he is today.
And he might be right.
Why “since LBJ”? There was significant voter fraud in the Nixon-Kennedy election as well.
It’s a simple matter of projection:
She knows what Barry does, and accuses their political opponents of doing the same.
She’s still ticked about that 1% in Philly they didn’t get. That was not supposed to happen.
She’s a hard Left Democrat. Lying is what they do.
Already covered in previous comments, but:
1. Projection
2. Suppression of military vote (military leans heavily Republican)
3. Margin of fraud
4. Free promotion from the presstitute media
This woman is doing what liberals do best:she’s projecting.
Republicans should use this to open up a Congressional investigation into election fraud/suppression and watch obama and the democrats and their shills in the media shout it down.
The most loathsome creature I have witnessed in politics – even worse than her useful idiot for President.
Romney got fewer votes in 2012 than McCain did in 2008.
Clearly there was voter suppression.
Missing entirely from this letter (and the counter debate/pushback from people who know better) is a request to the first lady for specifics to back this up, which she cannot do.
Absent any specific evidence, ie “to what precincts in what cities in what states Mrs Obama are you referring so people can be charged with crimes and put on trial for defrauding the integrity of America’s election system?”, the first lady should be (but won’t be) pressed very very hard in the public arena to subtantiate this ill-thought, highly dubious claim or stfu.
Also it is galling to know that a dozens of smarter classier and more circumspect first ladies knew instinctively never to say anything like this in public, and somehow the brilliant supergenius Michelle Obama cant keep her whacko accusations to herself.
This is just another attempt to play the race card. Divide the nation against ” whitey”!
Michele Obama is a racist black supremacist.
Michelle Obama is also a fascist.
I can’t imagine why she ever was stereotyped as the “angry black woman”……I see her as more of a leach on our society and, especially, the White House vacation funds
I’m assuming it was all she could do to bite her tongue during the first four years of King Barry’s reign. Nothing to lose by expressing those pent-up outrages now – right?
She lie like a rug!
I find it reprehensible that elections are called before every, and I do mean every, vote is counted. So what if it takes two weeks. The majority of people who vote absentee are “working” people or retirees. Those votes only get counted if the numbers are close, yet because they are employed or retired or serving out of country, they tend to be conservative so progressives don’t want them to be counted. I think that there should be video cameras in all Secretary of State offices that received ballots to prove that ballots are not being shredded prior to election day by subversive liberals who want to steal the election. Someone needs to investigate fraud. And then maybe the Salt Vampire will STFU.
Nope happened here in Union City MI an older gentleman forgot his ID and even the Polling place did not know that on the back of the paper they gave out was a space for the info for if you forgot your ID and I SO informed them and every one said thank you
