Here is the latest pack of lies from the Obama administration…which will have to squish in with all the others…less and less room in that department.
Excerpted from Hans von Spakovsky and Peter McGinley\’s devastating article at heritage.org:
Last Friday, in a speech at Al Sharpton\’s National Action Network conference, President Obama proudly announced that the Justice Department had taken on more than 100 voting rights cases since 2009. The problem with that claim is that, since 2009, the Justice Department has taken on only 39 voting rights cases-and as former Voting Section lawyer Christian Adams points out, only 13 were related to protecting minority voting rights. And, with respect to some of the cases in which the department has been involved, it lost spectacularly-such as its false claim that South Carolina\’s voter ID law was discriminatory.
In fact, the ever-criticized Bush administration had a much better enforcement record with much higher case numbers than the Obama administration, as was outlined in a report released by the Justice Department\’s Inspector General in March 2013.
Al Sharpton\’s National Action Network conference in New York City, where Bertha Lewis, the former CEO of ACORN, an organization convicted of numerous voter registration frauds, participated in a panel discussion earlier in the week, was the perfect arena for the President\’s inaccurate claims.
Consider also that Al Sharpton keynoted a voting rights rally in Ohio this March where convicted voting fraudster and former Ohio poll worker Melowese Richardson was brought onto the stage and given a hero\’s welcome. Sharpton embraced Richardson, despite her 2013 sentencing in state court for six counts of voter fraud…
…it is worth noting that Melowese Richardson was never charged by the Justice Department-even though she admitted, on camera, to having voted for President Obama multiple times in 2012, which is a felony under federal law.
If the DOJ is going to ignore cases in which voter fraud is being openly admitted, their prosecution statistics will continue to lose any semblance of credibility.
In my opinion, the sole voting-rights interest of Barack Obama and his disgraceful toady of an Attorney General, eric holder, is to make sure that Democrats get as many votes as they can by just about any means they can get them. And this article brings it home with crystal clarity.
Now: grow old waiting for most mainstream media to report these findings – which were as easily available to them as they were to Mr. von Spakovsky and Mr. McGinley.
Nope, not important enough. Put it in the etc. file, along with lois lerner\’s incriminating emails and the changing of census data so we can\’t check ObamaCare enrollment nu…..
….oh, what\’s that you say? Someone asked Chris Christie a question about the closure of George Washington Bridge lanes? HOLD THE PRESSES. This is real news!!
