Ask Democrats if there is voter fraud, and their party line is that it is rare-to-almost-nonexistent.
Do you believe that? I know I don’t.
And neither does Stephen Kruiser, writing for pjmedia.com. Here, from his latest commentary, is how he (and I) see things:
Fair, secure, and transparent elections should be a priority for all of us who vote here in this glorious Republic of ours. The 21st century Democrats are opposed to virtually everything that safeguards election integrity, though. As I wrote in a recent Morning Briefing, they would prefer a system without any guardrails at all.
I think that the biggest proof that election fraud is a huge, ongoing issue is in the Democrats’ insistence that it is nonexistent or extremely rare. Anyone truly concerned with election integrity would at least allow for the possibility that it is — or could be — a serious problem that should be safeguarded against.
If Democrats were saying something like, “Look, we want secure and transparent elections too, we just don’t agree with the kinds of protections that you want,” I might think that they weren’t complete fraudsters. Instead, their position is essentially, “Move along…nothing to see here!” They’re like kids who just broke a lamp in the other room and are trying to keep their parents from going in there to see it by pretending that there never was a lamp.
In addition to the farcical refusal to believe that the mere possibility of election fraud exists, the objections to Republican solutions are weak and filled with the kind of projection that D.C. Democrats don’t even know has become their brand. In their telling of the story, legal, state-issued identification is the hardest thing on Earth for people of color to obtain. They’d have better luck searching for the Holy Grail than a state ID card. Never mind the fact that immigrants both legal and illegal who have been in the country for about 15 minutes are getting driver’s licenses in blue states. The leftist champions of minorities would have us believe that elderly black people are incapable of standing in line at their state Department of Motor Vehicles. It’s the kind of condescending racism we’ve come to expect from the Dems.
Very, very well said.
Not only is it farcical to claim there is little or no voter fraud in this country, there are organized efforts to exploit the opportunities for voter fraud (see my next blog).
When one party insists on safeguards to insure votes are legally obtained and the other party fights tooth and nail to prevent those safeguards from being put in place, it tells you something – maybe everything – about who is and isn’t serious regarding voter fraud.
You do the math.
