Conservatives Find Another Cause To Declare War On - The Act of Voting

Hmmm - let's see -- the Pennsylvania GOP rush through state voter ID legislation just a couple of months before a presidential election and the state's top election official cannot even explain in a court hearing what the law stipulates.

Secretary of Commonwealth Carol Aichele on the fifth day of a trial over Pennsylvania's voter identification law testified at one point that she didn't know what the law said.

She was asked about the details of the law by a lawyer for the plaintiffs, and at one point responded, "I don’t know what the law says," according to CBS.

It speaks volumes about how desperate conservatives are to keep as many Democrats from exercising their constitutional right to vote on election day as they possibly can through legislative chicanery.  It also speaks volumes about how un-American they are for doing so.  That's fucking right - I said UN-AMERICAN!

Not only is the state of Pennsylvania's top election official totally clueless as to the details of this purportedly very important new law which they CLAIM is designed to protect the integrity of the state's voting process, the same election officials have also signed off on a legal deposition related to the court case which states that "There have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties do not have direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states.”

So you get it?  On one hand they claim rampant voter fraud exists which prompted the draconian voter ID legislation to be rushed and signed into law, yet on the other hand they have signed a legal deposition which states that they have no knowledge of in-person voter fraud events under investigation either in their own state or knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions anywhere else in the country.

These people are frauds and liars and the fact that they would deliberately use their legislative powers in an attempt to deny their fellow Americans the right to participate in the nation's electoral process makes them national traitors in my eyes. Un-American, dishonorable and cowardly traitors.
