Wow, heavy stuff! Five grand! Thirteen felony counts, heavy heavy stuff, boils down to five grand? You know, starting to think this isn’t as big a deal as the Counselor would like us to believe. But then, he’s got tons and tons of other such crimes to bring to our attention. Right, Counselor?
Which were what, perzackly? They were compelled to admit the “minimum necessary” for their plea deal. How come they weren’t compelled to admit these other “felonious deeds”, which, I note for the record, you do not specify, but merely allude to while moving briskly along. Surely you have these right at your fingertips, since you make the public accusation of them?
Because they are not the same thing? Might that be it? After all, you worded them differently: election law fraud over here, voter fraud over there. Given your fervent devotion to semantic precision, you imply that they are not the same thing while you insist that they are. Well, which is it? I swear, as slippery as a catfish in a barrel of motor oil…
And finally, at long last, the liberal hypocrisy. * Pobrecito!*
Of course there are others!
Lloyd “Frosty” Herrera, of Denver – five counts of perjury. And Monique Mora and Pelonne Page: Denver again, procuring false registrations.
How about the seven miscreants in Pennsylvania? Alexis Givner, Latasha Kinney, Mario Grisom, Bryan Williams, Ashley Clarke, Eric Eugene Jordan, and Eric Lee Jones?
And Kevin L. Clancy of Milwaukee: guilty of participating in a scheme to submit fraudulent voter registration applications in Wisconsin. So was Maria Miles.
King County, Washington: Tina Marie Johnson,Jayson Lee Woods, Clifton Eugene Mitchell, Ryan Edward Olson, Robert Edward Greene, Kendra Lynn Thill, and Brianna Rose Debwa.
Much more than a dozen. Happy?
You can’t send a corporation to prison.
Gosh, I thought there were specific people mentioned. Oh, wait, now I know why I thought so, your cite said so!
Each, Counselor. Thirteen counts each. And that lady, also mention, Ann Something? No jail time for these rapacious felons? Just five grand?
Just an interesting tidbit in your second cite, Counselor. So, I guess not much happened in this particular case, huh?
Excuse me a second, I have to clear some space on the floor so I can roll around and tear my hair while I scream:
“Conservative hypocrisy! Everybody come look at the conservative hypocrisy!!”
From cite the third, from the widely respected authoritative source, the DC Social Reader. (Don’t ask me, ask Bricker, I got no fucking clue who they are…)
Offered without comment, outside of a smirk not visible to the reader…
Hmm. Seems kinda like to me that the State, in this instance, has adjudged ACORN to be a victim more than a perp, yes?
Where is the indictment and punishment for ACORN for connivance and skulduggery? Which is what you allege, right, Counselor? That all of these are examples of ACORN’s treachery and felony, yes?
I read your cites, Counselor. Starting to wonder if you do.
Kinda waiting on Uzi, because I know Bricker is not really interested in debating the merit of voter ID laws any more.
She got a year of probation, a hundred hours of community service – presumably NOT registering more fake voters – and a $4,000 fine
Why the smirk? You believe that it helps the ACORN story to learn that one of ACORN’s felons is also a potentially violent criminal whose crimes weren’t limited to election law fraud?
Gasp! Certainly more trouble than those scoundrels in Pennsylvania got! Much more heinous offense, probably. Yeah, that must be it…
But your parade of citations mostly, if not entirely, reflect an ACORN taken advantage of more than an evil enterprise. This is the best you got? Really? Seems likely to me, I know these people of old, and they are as naive as daffodils. Do they believe in recruiting right from the innermost city, and employing the otherwise unemployable, and that their idealism will overwhelm any criminal bent. Yes, they did, God love 'em, they did believe exactly that.
Love your careful wording, Counselor! “..a potentially violent criminal…” How much innuendo and suggestion can be carried in just one word: “potentially”. Not that you are saying he was violent, no, no, if called on that, you got the trap door, down you go, you only said he was “potentially” violent! Let me make a guess, Counselor. You don’t know the least damn thing about him, do you?
I may have to stop for a while, I’m appalled, shocked and sickened by the dreadful skulduggery and felonious behavior of the Pennsylvania Republican Crime Family. Should the entire Republican Party of Pennsylvania be executed? No, no, a bit much. Might want to hang a couple of them, though, pour encourager les autres.…
How embarassing! Upthread I chuckled at one of Bricker’s cites, the DC Social Reader, like it was some little known, off the wall source included only for bulking out the citations. In fact, the Social Reader is a part of the widely respected and admired Daily Caller organization, who’s commitment to unvarnished truth and non-partisan candor is the stuff of legends. Like Nessie…
I live in a different time zone. I have to sleep sometime!
Yes, I do. Yet all these reasons stop people from voting. Some of these reasons are just excuses.
In Canada the employer has to give you time off to vote, but I think handing a paid vacation to people in a country with such low turnout rate might end lowering the participation rate even further.
Well, I’m not implementing anything. I’m a Canadian. We have higher participation rates in elections AND voter ID requirements where it is up to our citizens to get their own ID.
The idea is to make it more representative of those who are eligible to vote.
Yes and no. If the hurdle to vote is insurmountable, then clearly that is unfair and shouldn’t be implemented. This isn’t the case here, though.
Hey, so do I, and you don’t see me making excuses! 
You’re supporting the implementation of voter ID laws.
Great. Then give me your values for X and Y. See, the idea is good. The implementation is suspect at best, because the group of people with no ID and who cite lack of ID as a reason not to vote is simply that much larger than the group of people voting illegally.
It is for some people.
Trans v… Trans va… Trans v-v… trans voting probes!
Could reduce the number of people wanting to vote, too, y’know.
Is a reading test an insurmountable burden?
Shhhh, This sort of information has no place in the debate. Just because there is a system that is working that has voter ID requirements, and the population still votes with greater voter participation than in the US, doesnt mean that this sort of requirement in the US is unfair.
I mean, gee wilikers, we only have to show ID to us our credit cards, buy a beer, cigarettes, drive, get a student discount at the movie theater…
Obviously, this sort of requirement has increased the use of cash, decreased drinking, smoking, driving, and people paid the 2 bucks more at the theaters…
But they’re poor! And they have six jobs! Every day of the week, they get up at 2 AM, work 28 hours, and go to bed four hours after they have to wake up the next day! Who could get to a DMV with a schedule like that? Plus they were born in a tiki hut on a deserted island off the coast of Hawaii with only a coconut crab in attendance, so they have no birth certificate. They’re disenfranchised! Hundreds of thousands of them!
