What's wrong with this picture?


I saw this in a recent Washington Times/Inside Politics column...

Opponents of a Georgia law requiring voters to present photo IDs at the polls asked a federal judge yesterday to prevent the new state law from being enforced during Sept. 19 special elections.
The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other groups oppose the ID requirement. The law took effect July 1, but state and federal judges blocked its enforcement during the July 18 primary and Aug. 8 runoff elections.
In a 195-page ruling issued in July, federal Judge Harold Murphy, a 1977 appointee of President Carter, said he would later address whether the law could be applied to the Nov. 7 general elections.

If we're supposed to "Count every vote" and make sure "Every vote counts". Then there's nothing wrong with making sure only eligible voters vote, and only once!

The only acceptable identification should be a picture I.D.

No more utility bills!

I worked for a utility and have experienced first hand the number of people who perpetrate fraud with aliases.

Maybe there should be a national database to prevent the Dummycrats from pulling these kind of dirty tricks...

If there's one thing Donovan Riley apparently learned during his time in Chicago, it was "Vote early and often."

Riley, 69, the former CEO of the University of Illinois Medical Center and a former law professor at Loyola University, was seeking a state senate seat in Milwaukee until this item surfaced in the media.

On Nov. 7, 2000, the day of the big election between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Riley appeared at the polling place in Oconomowac, Wis., where he had registered to vote just the day before, voting records show. His ex-wife owned a home there.

"Then he drove down to Chicago where he was already registered and he voted again," said Michael Crooks, a Wisconsin attorney who filed a complaint against Riley with Wisconsin election officials. "This is about as blatant as it gets."

Waukesha County District Attorney Paul Bucher said it's usually difficult to prove such allegations. "But in this case, these documents seem to be pretty good," he said.

Chicago Board of Elections officials are said to be compiling documents to forward to the Cook County state's attorney for possible prosecution.

"My best recollection is that I was splitting my time between Wisconsin and Illinois and it's possible I made a mistake," Riley said in a statement released last week.

Riley dropped his campaign in the Democratic primary election for a state senate seat in Milwaukee, 35 miles from Oconomowac.

Riley also was a partner at the Chicago law firm of Michael Best & Friedrich.
