The Biggest Frauds Are The Voter ID Bill Patrons

    Delegate Rob Bell (R-58th) is touting his voter ID bill by perpetrating a fraud. The fraud is either his intellectual capacity or his argument supporting the bill. Bell’s “Exhibit A:” a report that 38 persons were charged with voter fraud in 2008. Guess what. None of them misrepresented their identity.

    This is the kind of fellow Democrats dream of running as the Republican candidate for Virginia Attorney General. But then again, his Republican opponent, Senator Mark Obenshain (R-26th) is probably more familiar with voter fraud, hailing from the seat of Republican voter fraud shenanigans: Harrisonburg. Unlike Bell, maybe Obenshain read the entire RTD article and has refrained from using it as the rationale for his own bill (SB 1256).

    How is it that Rob Bell’s bill (HB 1787), or Obenshain’s for that matter, will solve any real voter fraud issues? It really doesn’t matter and they don’t care. Bell’s bill won’t go into force until 2014. If it is so important, why the delay? Doesn’t matter, that isn’t his objective. He simply wants to pander to the Republican delegate demographic that Ken Cuccinelli’s subterfuge has delivered to their convention this year.

    By the way, both of the bills require the state of Virginia to provide the form of required ID. Obenshain’s places a photograph on the voter’s registration card. How’s that for a subtle way to suppress the vote?
