Every election cycle it seems like the Democrats always scream “voter suppression” during voting, even though there has been no credible evidence this has taken place. What they get their underwear in a bunch about is proper identification of the voter.
To vote, you must be a legal resident of the township, county, state and citizen of the United States. Where I vote, I must show a legal picture identification and I must be on the voter rolls to be considered a legal resident and given a ballot to vote. There is a system to check my name and address on my identification against the township voter roll, where my name resides. If someone is not on the voter roll for the township, I believe there a procedure to allow a person to vote on a provisional ballot until it is known the person is a resident of the township. If it cannot be proven they are a legal resident, the vote is not counted.
What is so hard or nefarious about this? The Democrats cry obtaining a legal photo identification is too restrictive. How does a person identify themselves to a law official if requested to do so? A valid driver’s license is the usual way most people use for identification. But if one does not drive, a state supplied identification can be obtained at any Secretary of State office just like a driver’s license.
Democrats don’t like anything with a person having to take the initiative to get a valid identification card. Republicans like to stay out of the fray. I say this has been going on too long to allow people to vote without proper identification. I’m sure there have been many votes cast where the person isn’t a citizen of the United States, but since there are provisional ballot procedures, they vote anyhow.
This has to end. Anyone not a citizen of the United States has no legal right to vote for federal offices, and anyone not a legal resident of the states have no legal right to cast a ballot in the state offices and proposals.
If you don’t have identification to prove who you say you are, and are not registered to vote — you can’t. Pretty simple, nice and easy. When I was legal to vote, I registered with the township so I could be placed on the voting rolls. It was my duty as an American citizen and the resident of the state of Michigan.
If you don’t want to vote, that is your decision. But don’t allow non-citizens the right to vote — that cancels out a legal vote. And that is exactly the Democrat objective in allowing people to vote that have no identification.
Did you know in some states, the person casting an absentee ballot can have someone else deliver it to the township/county clerk? There have been many people with multiple absentee ballots that have been handed in. Shouldn’t those ballots be sealed and sent to the clerk in charge of ballots? How do they know the correct person filled them out? Some of the absentee ballots were not signed or dated but allowed to be counted. How is that legal? This was not in Michigan to my knowledge, but I wouldn’t doubt it happens, especially on the east side of the state where voting discrepancies seem to crop up time and time again.
Florida is a state where political high-jinks occur every vote season. I don’t think Michigan is another Florida, but it well could happen in this state if allowed to happen. And I wouldn’t bet against Democrats to allow non-citizens to vote in our elections. This is what the Wall opposition is all about – more votes, cheap labor, more drugs, and crime into the country.
Democrats love it, RINO’s do too. The people are left out of the equation. President Trump is the only one fighting for the majority that wants the wall. The president is trying to protect the country from the invading hordes, among some of their members are criminals, terrorists, drug mules and those bent on plying their illegal activities in the United States.
I’m all for legal immigration. I’ve heard it all before — bigot, xenophobe, racists, blah, blah, blah because I’m for enforcing our immigration laws. If you’re not for erecting the Wall, are you for the destruction of the country? Are you for governments where graft and corruption determine if you can make a living to feed your family? How about payments to grease palms to be allowed to do what you do freely and legally today?
Are you for a Marxist/Communist form of government where everyone is equal — equally miserable instead of the Nirvana the communist form of government promises but never produces. Tell me one country where communism has ever worked in its pure form?
You can’t, because they don’t exist any more — Russia and China left the Commies behind and now are quasi- capitalists because they know only capitalism produces wealth and independence from government oppression. There are more Chinese people considered middle-class and more every year. They have become avowed capitalists because they have seen what it does to move them from grinding poverty to where they are now. A third world country to a global powerhouse, not from communism but capitalism.
“Each according to their ability, each according to their needs” – what Marxist bullshit. Marxism is for those dumb enough to believe man is always intrinsically good and everyone will work without regard for their own self-interest. It is not how people think and it never works well for long.
It is freedom and liberty that capitalism encompasses in order for a republican form of government to work and flourish. Self-interest, self- determination, allowing trade and commerce enriches every life. Illegal immigration is the antithesis to this system and only those wanting into this country legally will be able to contribute fully to the America they desire to live within.
Build the Wall Mr. President, build the Wall!
The rotting of America from within continues…

Another great article..straight to the point.
What I find amazing is this group who is so worried about Russia interfering with our elections, would rather have the electoral process interfered with by the South American countries.
They have gone to attacking the border patrol from the American side trying to get those immigrants thru what they hoped would of been a weakened defense. Of course they failed…calling it a protest.
We the United States can not save the world.
When displaced persons arrive in another Country they should try to become part of the host Country, not start their own. The fact is not everyone from every Country is eligible for entry. They may be related to you, but doesn’t mean they can live here.
We (Americans) refuse to look back at history. WW 1 and WW 2 we along with other nations fought and defeated those committing the horrific acts against mankind.
Vietnam, Iraq, Kuwait, etc we were the major Country involved..did those that sent token forces really care about what was happening to the people their?
Yes things in many South American countries are horrific. We and other nations will not enter militarily to end the situation. So most feel bring them into the United States to save and protect them.
This is not the solution…those countries need to be shown the world does not except what is happening there. So we and other nations are like the “playground monitor ” when “little Johnny ” is being mistreated…he is taken to a safe place. It isn’t till the safe area is full do those causing havoc on the playground are disciplined.
How many countries do the drug cartels have to control…before the nations who claim to support humanitarian conditions step in and eliminate their control.?
Harry – did you mean “Central American countries”? I don’t think you meant “South American countries”.
Maybe Fox News isn’t covering it, but there have been big problems with voter fraud in North Carolina. It appears there was criminality in the election which put a Republican into office. It’s quite a mess. It does not appear that invading hordes of illegal aliens were to blame. NC may have to take the extraordinary measure of re-voting in some districts. The irony that the voter fraud was at the hands of Republicans does not escape most of us.
Why does Trump need to have American tax money pay for his wall? Who is going to pay for the wall? Mexico is going to pay for the wall! Si, como no.
Mr. Basura,
Sir.
FYI.
“WILMINGTON, N.C. (WNCN) – Federal authorities announced Friday that 19 illegal immigrants in North Carolina illegally voted during the 2016 election.
A news release from United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina also said several of those charged voted in more than one election.”
CBS 17 News.
Not FOX News, but CBS.
Have a Marry Christmas.
Trump’s own election fraud commission could not find evidence of widespread voter fraud. The steps taken in many states to stop citizens from voting are much more serious than 19 illegal aliens voting. North Carolina is a good example of voter fraud and the 19 illegal aliens who voted in the 2016 election are miniscule compared to what happened in the N.C. election.
