Most Blacks Strongly Support Voter ID

Four days before President Joe Biden proclaimed on MLK Jr. Day that state laws requiring voter ID and other election integrity measures amounted to an "assault on our freedom to vote" - particularly for minorities, a Michigan poll found that 79% of blacks in battleground states support ballot ID requirements, according to Just the News' John Solomon.

Those findings have been confirmed in national polls as well, exposing a dilemma for Democrats in Washington who are making a last-ditch effort to pass legislation gutting many state and local controls of elections in favor of federal standards.

Those standards — like banning voter IDs, imposing no excuse absentee voting and making it harder to clean outdated voter rolls — are not what the majority of Americans are seeking. -JTN

"A recent national survey found that four key election reforms are supported by more than 80% of voters," wrote pollster Scott Rasmussen, describing the disconnect. "These include removing people who have died or moved from voter registration lists; requiring all voters to show photo ID before casting a ballot; wanting all ballots received by Election Day; and, having all voting machines made in the United States."

In a separate national poll from Rasmussen, their latest, 78% of black voters supported voter ID.

Such public sentiments impose a harsh reality check on Biden's argument that state voter laws amount to "Jim Crow 2.0" and are disenfranchising poor and minority voters. Most voters don't see cleaning outdated names from voter roles or requiring IDs to cast ballots as "obstacles to the ballot box" like Biden argued in Monday’s speech. -JTN

Senate Majority Leader Chucks Schumer (D-NY), meanwhile, argued on Tuesday that Democrats have an obligation to do everything possible to pass 'voting rights' legislation.

"The eyes of the nation will be watching what happens this week in the United States Senate," he said during a floor speech. "Just a few days removed from what would have been Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s 93rd birthday, the Senate has begun the debate on the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act for the first time, the first time, in this Congress."

Still sorting emails from a decade ago -- found this post from me to the Southern Heritage News and Views email forum re the original VRA. Unike many links from back then this UPI one stlll works.

Voting wrongs

This odd item was in the Greensboro NC Patriot Network egroup. It's inspiring to see Arizona defying federal tyranny the way it does. The laughably-misnamed Voting Rights Act is a monstrosity that never would have existed in a free country. It was signed into law by the demon-possessed Lyndon Johnson and renewed by the insane George W. Bush. The last sentence to the article shows the new basis of ameriKan life and law in the country's post-1960s "Frankenstein" period: presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Arizona challenges Voting Rights Act

www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/08/26/Arizona-challenges- Voting-Rights-Act/UPI-46241314368386/

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Arizona is suing the U.S. government, questioning the constitutionality of a portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horn said the suit, filed Thursday, challenged a part of the law that requires Arizona and other jurisdictions -- mainly in the South -- to get permission, or "pre-clearance" from the Justice Department for changes to voting procedures, The Wall Street Journal reported.

"The Voting Rights Act plays a vital role in our society by ensuring that every American has the right to vote and to have that vote counted," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "The provisions challenged in this case, including the pre-clearance requirement, were reauthorized by Congress in 2006 with overwhelming and bipartisan support."

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in the District of Columbia.

Horne said Arizona was subject to the Justice Department procedure even though the state demonstrated fairness to racial minority voters, NBC News said.

"Arizona is still penalized for archaic violations that were corrected with the implementation of bilingual ballots prior to the 1974 elections," Horne said, adding Arizona, in 1974, became the second state to elect a Hispanic governor.

The lawsuit claims the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional, "because it suspects all changes to state election law, however innocuous, until pre-clearance is given by the federal government," Horne said.
