GOP Legally barred from fighting voter fraud? Apparently, yes.

The decision requires the RNC – but not the DNC – to “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.”

'Diversity' strikes again!

We all know the election was a farce.
All Dictatorships fix their elections.

And why is that??

Of course it's because the Republicans were notorious for trying to prevent minorities from voting. There was a large-scale criminal effort every election by the Republicans to steal elections by making illegal demands of voters.

It's because of similar shit the Republicans used to pull that voter registration groups such as ACORN ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED to turn in each and every registration form, even those filled out by Mickey Mouse. And then you pukes whine endlessly about that!

Well whatever the reason for this consent decree was historically, it makes no sense that NOBODY can pursue the obvious and serious objections to the recent reported election results. Obama has not yet been reelected by the electoral college. Time is of the essence.

Some Republicans, or someone else acting in private capacity, should file the lawsuits. Have objections been filed in Ohio, for example, where massive fraud is obvious? Can Romney pursue it himself? He never signed a consent decree. I don't see that he's legally restricted. The R party could put money in a trust for someone else to use to pursue these things.

Anyway fuck the courts, what's the worst punishment that could happen? Doesn't anyone with access to money want to fight for the country?

Guess all the romtards gave up, no - one cares

You're an ignoramus.

The KKK = Democrats

Bull Conner = Democrat

Senator Harry "Kleagle" Byrd = Democrat

Mayor Daley = Democrat (stole election for JFK)

Orval Faubus, Governor of Arkansas (Democrat).

William Fulbright, Senator Arkansas and mentor to Bill Clinton

Lester Maddox = Democrat

Now why don't you try naming an actual event where Republicans blocked blacks from voting or fixed an election.

{crickets}

The passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which, by banning discriminatory voting practices, stoked fear in some quarters about the rising power of black voters. During the run-up to the 1964 presidential election, the Republican National Committee launched Operation Eagle Eye, the nation’s first large-scale anti–voter fraud campaign. As part of the program, the RNC recruited tens of thousands of volunteers to show up at polling places, mostly in inner cites, and challenge voters’ eligibility using a host of tools and tactics, including cameras, two-way radios, and calls to Republican-friendly sheriffs.

After this, anti-fraud campaigns became commonplace, but they could backfire, as the RNC learned in 1981. That year, the party hired a swashbuckling 29-year-old named John Kelly to organize “ballot security” for New Jersey’s gubernatorial election. Kelly, who turned up in the state wearing cowboy boots and a 10-gallon hat, arranged to have hundreds of thousands of sample ballots mailed to voters in black and Latino neighborhoods. His team then compiled a list of people whose ballots were returned as undeliverable, and allegedly tried to have them struck from the rolls. This technique, known as caging, is controversial because it can purge eligible voters. In this case, an outdated address roster was used—meaning that an unusually large share of the people on Kelly’s list may have been wrongly targeted.

Kelly and his associates also recruited squadrons of men—many of them off-duty police officers—to descend on black and Latino precincts around New Jersey on Election Day. Wearing National Ballot Security Task Force armbands, walkie-talkies, and in some cases guns, the men posted signs warning in large red letters that the areas were being patrolled. They then stationed themselves around polling places and allegedly tried to stop those whose names appeared on the caging list from voting.

According to a Republican Party lawyer who was on the scene that day, before the polls closed, Kelly hightailed it out of the state in a Chevy Impala, armbands and signs stuffed in the trunk. When the Essex County prosecutor’s office launched a statewide criminal investigation the following week, he was nowhere to be found.

In the end, prosecutors didn’t bring charges—no would-be voters stepped forward to say they had been blocked from casting ballots—but the Democratic National Committee filed a federal lawsuit accusing Kelly and the RNC of violating the Voting Rights Act. To settle the case, in 1982 the RNC signed a consent decree, agreeing to end all “ballot security” programs targeting minority precincts. Four years later, the RNC was caught caging minority voters in Louisiana, an effort that was intended to “keep the black vote down,” according to an internal RNC memo. The DNC filed suit again, and a chastened RNC agreed to a modified decree requiring it to submit all plans for anti–voter fraud campaigns to the court for approval.

The GOP has been practicing voter caging since the civil rights era.

real shit

We've been under a dictatorship since 2009 anyway...

The communists are in power, they were the people that INVENTED SHAM VOTING, and they will NEVER give their power up easily or willingly...

Yep, look at Allan West, He lost in a conservative district... The same district Obama got over 100% of the vote...

Your Votes Do Not Count!!!!!!!!!

Once one side gets away with it the other will do it. Should have investigated all past reports of voter fraud.

Facts scare people... That's why you wont get a logical response to this.

Apparently, you haven't read the thread.
Or just ignored all the paragraphs you didn't like.

Allen West lost because he's a teabaggging nut and a war criminal.
Many thousands of republicans refused to vote for him.
I'm pretty sure Romney won his rich district, not Obama.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, YOU LOST!!!

That seems impossible. I don't know what's going on, but there should be some challenges in process.

No, the country lost.

And God forbid anybody try to verify that a person is actually qualified to vote, right?

We now have Chicagoland politics on a national scale.
