AG Merrick Garland Campaigns For Unsecure
Elections, Slams 'Unnecessary' Voter ID

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 3/4/2024 9:22:56 AM

Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland, has made clear his intention to make America's elections less secure, describing efforts to secure them as "burdensome and unnecessary." Garland made the remarks at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama, during a commemoration of 'Bloody Sunday' when civil rights protesters were brutally attacked by police. He also accused federal courts of weakening the 1965 Voting Rights Act by allowing various common sense voting restrictions such as presenting identification on arrival. He explained: "Since those decisions, there has been a dramatic increase in legislative measures that make it harder for millions of eligible voters to vote

Well, Mr. Garland, if asking for proper identification is “disenfranchising”, why do we insist on it in foreign elections?? Hmmmmm??

We all know at least 50 different circumstances where we must produce some kind of photo ID. I'm with #1. An ID makes it harder to cheat. It is what the dems do, cheat. And they are very good at it. But an official ID would put a crimp in that game. Doesn't mean they still won't cheat or at least try. But it might slow them down in their efforts. FJB and all the idiots currently working in this clown car administration.

Do Selma residents have to show ID to make purchases in liquor stores? I'm so sick of the gaslighting. These hacks have no shame about using race to advance their agenda. Yet maybe the people are less reflexively buying into it. Look at these stats from a few years back, FTA: Meanwhile, a Rasmussen Reports survey taken in 2021 found that an overwhelming majority of black voters were supportive of voter ID requirements. “Majorities of whites (74%), blacks (69%) and other minorities (82%) say voters should be required to show photo identification before being allowed to vote,” the polling company noted at the time.

Well the Democrats are already registering unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to vote automatically under the Clinton era Motor-Voter laws when they apply for USA drivers licenses, no verification of US citizen required or requested. Do the wimpy Republicans even have a clue that nobody is going to object when those illegal aliens vote in the Democrat run sanctuary cities and areas?

I need a photo ID to purchase a gun/liquor/cigars/cigarettes/pot (where legal) & buy cable TV! I need a photo ID to rent a car, make a purchase with a check, be seen by a doctor, get on a plane, train, or bus. So YES, idiot Garland, it IS DEFINITELY NECESSARY for the most important act a citizen performs, casting their ballot.

Too bad Garland didn't read the Constitution where it reads that American citizens have the right to vote. not anyone who ambles into our country unvetted.

According to a report from New York Magazine's Intelligencer, Joe Biden's aides are hard at work trying to combat the image that he is too old to be president by revealing more behind-the-scenes details that are supposed to make us all feel better about the fact that he doesn't seem to know where he is half the time. "His staffers say Biden swears in private, chews out aides who aren’t performing up to standards, and is well versed in the details of complex regulatory issues. According to two accounts, Biden can also get a little spicy, in a Diamond Joe sort of way," reports New York Magazine's Matt Stieb.

In this business, one can find oneself traveling down rabbit trails. A promising bit of news may turn out to be not nearly as engaging or important as advertised, or it may be outdated. That sends a writer back to the drawing board. This happened Monday afternoon. A story I thought was worth investigating turned out to have its origins back on December 5, 2023. I muttered a word that I cannot write here and wondered why no one in the media seems to understand the words "news cycle" anymore.

When pressed by DailyMail.com, the VA admitted the memo was sent out late last month but had since been rescinded.
