Missouri leading way in voter fraud prevention
The state of Missouri is looking to take the lead in enacting measures to prevent voter fraud in elections. This week, the state is expected to debate and likely enact a measure that would put before Missouri voters a ballot initiative that would require proof of citizenship in order to vote in elections held in Missouri, whether local, statewide or national.
The proposal makes sense, which is why liberals are dead-set against it. Voting rights in America are extened only to US citizens, so if one is not a US citizen, they ought not be allowed to vote. Nothing could be simpler or more logical.
So naturally, the liberal establishment media, led by the New York Times, is leading the charge to embarss the hell out of Missouri and any Missourian who supports the measure by implying the state and supporters of the measure are backward hicks who don’t like anyone who isn’t a WASP. The charge is also being falsely made that the measure would disenfranchise legal voters.
Missouri isn’t the only state considering such a measure; similar bills are in front of 19 state legislatures, with at least six states likely to pass the measure; buy only Missouri’s would take effect in time for the 2008 election. Missouri, a state in which there was much alleged voter fraud in St. Louis and Kansas City, where there are high concentrations of illegals, could be affected in terms of whether it goes red or blue in 2008 by the passage of this measure.
So get out your party invitations and hope that Missouri leads the way in preventing voter fraud.
