North Carolina’s REPUBLICAN Governor (only the fourth since
1877) and North Carolina’s REPUBLICAN legislature (first time that’s been the
case in both houses since 1898) have made horrible, drastic [NOT] changes to
the state voting laws, following the Supreme Court decision last year to remove
the requirement that ‘certain racist states’ must have their election laws,
redistricting, etc. overseen by the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice….. you know the
outfit – that’s the department headed by the totally unbiased, totally fair,
totally NON-racist Eric Holder, the same Eric Holder that saw no voter
intimidation looking at films of the new Black Panthers blocking voters from
entering the polls in the 2008 election.
Yep – same one.
The New York Times is only ONE of the liberal lamestream
media outlets that has been all up North Carolina’s rear end attacking the
changes enacted recently.
THIS, my friends, is voter suppression….
THIS…..is not!
Here are a few (admittedly) liberal links talking krap about North
Carolina’s election law changes – just a glimpse and you’ll know from whence I
come.
Ok – enough of this shit.
How about a few facts…. And this will really rile you lefties out there –
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH‼‼ (a Jack Nicholson
quote from ‘A Few Good Men’)
Below are excerpts from an editorial in the Carolina Journal
on September 5, 2013, which takes exception to the charges that my state is racist
BY PROVING WE ARE IN THE MAINSTREAM! (Actually, we’re STILL too damn far to the
left, if you ask me!)
RALEIGH — You’ve heard it from the Left. You’ve heard it
from the press and on TV. It’s all over the Internet. The Voter Suppression
Act. Disenfranchised voters. One of the nation’s most restrictive voter ID
laws. Sweeping. Controversial. Restrictive. Fiercely contested. Assault on democracy…
Here’s a recap of
what the new law does and where North Carolina lines up nationally (much of
this information comes from the National Conference of State Legislatures):
• Voter ID: required. Thirty-three states require voters to
present identification at the polls. North Carolina is the 34th and joins a
national trend of requiring a photo ID. Two-thirds of North Carolinians asked
in several polls favor a government-issued photo ID to vote.
• Straight-ticket voting: no longer
allowed. Fourteen states allow
straight-party voting. North Carolina joins the 36 states that do not.
• Early voting: fewer days but the
same number of hours. Fifteen states allow neither early voting nor no-excuse
absentee voting. Thirty-two states have
early voting periods ranging from four days to 45 days prior to election day,
with an average of 19 days. North Carolina allows 10 days but requires the same
number of hours of early voting that were available in 2012 and 2010, when
the early voting period was 17 days. [A
year ago, the state of New York – home of the NY Times Commie Rag – DIDN’T
ALLOW EARLY VOTING! ROFLMAO!]
• Same-day registration: no longer
allowed during early voting. Only Ohio
and North Carolina allowed (past tense) same-day registration during early
voting. Ten states and the District of Columbia allow same-day registration
on election day. North Carolina no
longer does.
• Pre-registration: no longer
allowed for 16- and 17-year-olds. Five states allow 16- and 17-year-olds to
register before they turn 18. Forty-five
states do not, now including North Carolina.
• Campaign contributions: limited. Fourteen states allow unlimited individual
contributions to candidates. North Carolina limits individual contributions to
$5,000, with periodic increases tied to the Consumer Price Index.
• Paper ballots: required in all
N.C. counties. All BUT five states
require paper ballots or some type of paper trail voters can verify at the
polls. North Carolina becomes the 18th
state using only paper ballots statewide. Sixty-seven North Carolina
counties used paper ballots in 2012. H.B. 589 brings consistency across all
counties.
• Taxpayer-funded campaigns:
repealed. Only 13 states offer public funds to political candidates. North Carolina joins the 37 states that do
not.
• Provisional out-of-precinct
voting: no longer allowed. Thirty-one
states and D.C. require voters to cast provisional ballots in the precinct
where they live (according to 2008 data, the most recent I could find). Now,
North Carolina does, too.
• Instant runoff elections:
eliminated. North Carolina was the ONLY
state using the confusing instant runoff process in judicial races. Three
states use instant runoffs for ballots cast by overseas voters.

And there you have it.
If you live here in the Tar Heel State and you don’t LIKE our voting laws, I
suggest you grab a moving van and haul your sorry butt somewhere else. Or go buy some fingernail polish at Walgreens
(but ya better have an ID card!)
