Zombie Voters Bulletin

On this Fourth of July I'm thinking that freedom means all people being free to express themselves, especially at the ballot box.  Sadly, in some places in our Country (and not only in the South) the only way to assure this freedom is to reinstate Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.   

 

It also could help to get the truth out about manufactured "voter fraud" claims—one way to dilute the influence of minority voters.  For example, in South Carolina, Columbia's Free Times has announced results of the State Law Enforcement Division's 18-month investigation.  SLED's findings validated what many of us had known to be true all along:  No 'zombie' voters, no voter fraud.    http://www.free-times.com/blogs/18-months-later-sc-law-enforcement-closes-case-on-zombie-voters-finds-no

 

The Free Times post points out that South Carolina's Republican attorney general often said, on the Fox cable news channel in the past year, things like "we know for a fact"—that the identities of deceased people were being used in elections in South Carolina.  I hope SLED's findings will be widely reported—maybe even covered by Fox?

For a while last year, you couldn’t turn on Fox News without seeing S.C. GOP Attorney General Alan Wilson saying things like, “We know for a fact that there are deceased people whose identities are being used in elections in South Carolina.” - See more at: http://www.free-times.com/blogs/18-months-later-sc-law-enforcement-closes-case-on-zombie-voters-finds-no#sthash.f74hHxKw.dpuf

Other reports over the past year or two indicate there's little to no "voter fraud" in other states where—like South Carolina— Republican governors and/or legislatures are pushing "Voter ID" laws and restricting access to the polls.

Thank you, Free Times, for using freedom of the press to get this information out, just in time for the 4th.  Let freedom ring!  And may it ring in a new, progressive government for South Carolina in 2014.
