Matter Vs. Space

Another debate down for Steve King and Christie Vilsack.

This debate occurred at the Windsor Theatre in Hampton.

I loved this line from King -- “I’m not really sure if Mrs. Vilsack wants me to be a leader or a follower. I’ve gotten advice to be both a leader and a follower and it depends on the issue.”

That should give you some insight into the Pickle's life and the scientific community is united in that fact.

It was also interesting that Christie's Comrades were seated on the theater’s left side.

The topic of voter fraud arose, Vilsack had this to say about requiring a photo I.D.  --

“It is restrictive in many cases for people who are elderly. There are a lot of situations where people don’t have a picture I.D. and they need to be able to vote.”

Cite one case, Christie.

When groups sue to block photo-ID laws in court, they can’t seem to produce real-world examples of people who have actually been denied the right to vote. According to opinion polls, over 75 percent of Americans — including majorities of Hispanics and African-Americans — routinely support such laws.

Christie continued --  “I don’t think that there’s any evidence that there is a great deal of voter fraud out there. It’s the most important right and responsibility a person has in this country, to be able to vote, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure that people are allowed to do it.”

Notice she doesn't say the most important word...CITIZENS.

Also telling is her use of the phrase, "great deal of voter fraud".

If it is our most important right, any voter fraud is too much.

Be aware that “more than one out of every five registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote.”

Nationwide, the Pew Center for the States estimates about 24 million ineligible voter registrations, including “more than 1.8 million dead people listed as voters; about 2.75 million with voter registrations in more than one state and other states with disturbing levels of ineligible registered voters include Mississippi, Iowa, Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida, Alabama, California, and Colorado.

A case could be made, using the Vilsack values, there are very few cases of legitimate voters who were unable to have their vote counted because they lacked ID.
