Good...this needs to be looked into.

Tea Party Voter Suppression Group Under Investigation For Possible ‘Criminal Conspiracy’
By Aviva Shen on Oct 5, 2012 at 4:10 pm

The Tea Party organization launching a multi-pronged voter suppression effort this election is under investigation by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) for a possible “criminal conspiracy to deny legitimate voters their constitutional rights.”

Cummings sent a letter to True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht warning her that the Ohio branch of the group, in suing to throw thousands of students, trailer park residents, homeless people and African Americans off the voting rolls, may be violating the law:

At some point, an effort to challenge voter registrations by the thousands without any legitimate basis may be evidence of illegal voter suppression. If these efforts are intentional, politically motivated and widespread across multiple states, they could amount to a criminal conspiracy to deny legitimate voters their constitutional rights.

True the Vote released a statement affirming their support for the Ohio voter purge advocates on Monday:

True the Vote stands by the well-intentioned efforts of these citizens and is disgusted by the attempts of some within government and media to warp what should have been a simple, legal process into a calculated partisan charade.

The most radical voter suppression efforts — including voter ID laws, voter purges, gerrymandered districts and restrictions on voter registration — have been killed in the courts or delayed til after the election. In many cases, judges concluded that minorities would be disproportionately affected by these efforts. Indeed, an analysis of the failed voter purge in Texas, True the Vote’s home state, found that African American and Latino names were much more likely to be flagged for removal, and African American districts received more letters questioning their eligibility to vote than any other districts.

Rather than rely soley on these initiatives, True the Vote is also mobilizing a national network of volunteer poll watchers to challenge and intimidate voters on Election Day. In light of the misinformation and questionable tactics disseminated in these volunteer trainings, Rep. Cummings is seeking “the data you have been using to challenge voter registrations, the training you have been providing volunteers to conduct these activities, and the manner in which you have been determining where to deploy your resources in select jurisdictions.”

Of course none of this will cause the faux outrage that two 'Black Panthers' caused....LOL
 
Kinda strange that judges always conclude that minorities would be disproportionately affected by obeying the laws of the land....why only minorities ?

Pinheads don't mind an Investigation Into Possible Criminal Conspiracy but rant and rave about investigating possible voter fraud....??

Why the double standard and outrageous hypocrisy from pinheads....
 
Yeah I'll bet you and yours thought all that 60's civil rights stuff was about getting attention too!! Fools.

But then; you are the one who has shown that you're only interested in posting articles about the side you don't agree with, while ignoring EVERYTHING that those you agree with do.

You are the hypocritical queen. :D
 
If they broke the law they should be prosecuted, including the D groups being investigated that seem to be missing from the thread.

How dare you even suggest that the Democrat's would ever do anything that seemed to be illegal.

You are now, nothing more then a hypocritical scab eater> :D
 
If they broke the law they should be prosecuted, including the D groups being investigated that seem to be missing from the thread.

also, the group that filed false voter registrations, the group that tore up voter registrations for the opposing party

or any other person/group committing a felony or misdemeanor

do you want to list all of them or even all of those accused of voter fraud...like voter id laws or the unsubstantiated attack on acorn

You want to post about the D problem fine then post about it. I didn't post about that I posted about this. You want to find some meaning in it you're barking up the wrong tree, again! Damn what the hell is wrong with you guys?? I didn't read anything about any D group yet. I'll agree with you on the rest. Prosecution for law breakers..equal under the law. That's how we're supposed to do it.

We just witnessed in the last election two black men with nightsticks, harassing and intimidating voters 10 feet from the polling place doors....and attested to
by the voters themselves......
That didn't seem to bother you.
Nor did it seem to bother you that Obama personally forbid the Justice Dept. from investigating or prosecuting anyone.
