[EL] Fw: The GOP Can Not Legally Help Stop Voter Fraud

[Frank Askin]

(1) Judge Debevoise is not retired; he is on senior status but has an
active docket. (2) The injunction reaches only the Republican National
Committee and no other entities. (3) in refusing to withdraw the
injunction against the RNC, he heard thousands of pages of testimony
expert and found there was almost no evidence of voter impersonation
fraud at the polls, which was the only activity the RNC ballot security
program was barred from implementing. (4) His very detailed opinion is
some 160 pages long. (5) The decision was unanimously affirmed by an
(unretired) panel of the Third Circuit. The RNC's cert petition is now
pending before the Supreme Court.  FRANK ASKIN

Any confirmation of this?

My good friend Alan Vera of True the Vote told me long ago that we have
a two party system: the Corrupt Party and the Stupid Party.  To that
fact, during the weekly True the Vote webcast, Catherine Engelbrecht
related a meeting she had with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, asking what
the GOP would do about voter integrity.  The answer?
Nothing.  They aren’t legally able to.  (I’m not joking.)
As part of a lawsuit settlement with the Democrat Party (
http://judicialview.com/Court-Cases/Civil-Procedure/Democratic-National-Committee-v-Republican-National-Committee/10/201975
), the Gutless Old Party agreed to not engage in any voter protection
initiatives. Two of the clauses read this way:


(e) refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling
places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of
such districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual
conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant
effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and
the conduct of such activities disproportionately in or directed toward
districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic
populations shall be considered relevant evidence of the existence of
such a factor and purpose;
(f) refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement
personnel in connection with ballot security activities.
ACORN Whistleblower Anita Moncrief added that when she spoke at the
Republican National Convention, she had to submit her speech to make
sure nothing she said could be construed as violating the order not to
assist voter integrity.
I now think the characterization “the Stupid Party” may be too
kind.
Engelbrecht said to add insult to injury, the judge who signed the
agreement has long since retired, but every single year comes back for
the sole purpose of renewing the order for another year.
Moncrief pointed out during her comments [in the conference] that in
visiting the Democrat advocacy groups in Ohio, they were organized,
motivated and purposeful in getting out their vote as was witnessed by
the long line of Somali and Ethiopian voters bussed in to polling
places.  When she visited the Romney campaign offices, she said there
was utter confusion, many were just sitting around waxing about how the
couldn’t wait to “Free Willy.”  (ORCA was the name of the failed
computer program the Romney campaign tried to use to “micro-target”
volunteers to get out the vote where it was needed.)
It was down all day, and finally late in the day people were sent out
with printed registration cards to go find people to vote.
Wasn’t I told by all the non-TEA Party Republicans that Romney was
the best chance we had because he ran such great businesses and had the
money to compete with Obama?   Just asking.
Moncrief said one other thing of interest.  When she visited random
Ohio polling places, there was almost never a GOP poll watcher and
always a Democratic one.
We wondered why the RNC wasn’t screaming bloody murder over the
evidence of voting fraud?  Of course, the RNC petitioned to get it
changed this year but the Obama appointee (
http://www.afj.org/judicial-selection/nominees/joseph-a-greenway.html
) denied it. Surprise, surprise.
Now you know.
And while True the Vote (
http://www.politijim.com/2012/11/www.truethevote.org ) has done
amazing things in bringing awareness to the issue of voter integrity, it
is clear from the comments made tonight that they are just resigning
themselves to the lost election and enormity of the Democratic
advantage.
