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.

Obama surges ahead

Hold off on those party invitations, Hillary; Barack Obama’s looking more and more like the real thing. The freshman Senator from Illinois won four states, a clean sweep, this past weekend and now holds a slight edge in the delegate count for the Democratic nomination. Obama swept to victory in Maine, Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington state this past weekend.

Even with uncommitted super-delegates accounted for, Obama leads the delegate race 1,134 to 1,131. It’s a slim lead, but may show states that have yet to chime in that Obama’s campaign is viable and Hillary’s is not inevitable. If he keeps on like this, Obama may banish Hillary Rodham from the race before the GOP has a chance to. And putting a young, vibrant, charismatic candidate with low negative like Barack Obama up against an old, unfriendly and ill-tempered candidate like John McCain, who now is the inevitable GOP nominee, could make for a perfect storm that allows the Dems to take back the White House in November.

The best the GOP can hope for now is that Hillary can tread water, leading to an ugly nomination brawl at the Dem convention this summer, which could disrupt party unity enough to let McCain slip in. But that seems unlikely, at this point.
