I have read multiple articles by American Leftists condemning Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch as a right-wing radical whose various lawsuits, which often pertain to the issue of electoral integrity, are utterly without merit. A June post by Democracy Docket, an avowed defender of voters’ rights, suggests he is no more than a trouble maker!
But how is it that Fitton’s concern with what he sees as a threat to America’s Democracy, has led to the removal of over 4.5 million names from the voter lists of the various states in which he has lodged his suits? How has he been successful if his initiatives are utterly without merit? It is assumed by he and Republicans in general, of course, that the Democrats take a slack approach to voter integrity in the knowledge that the vast majority of those seeking to vote while not entitled to do so, will vote for the party of “compassion,” the party not particularly concerned with The Rule of Law!
This past February a court ruled that a N.Y. City law entitling non-citizens to vote in local elections was unconstitutional. Democratic Mayor Eric Adams had staunchly supported the law. In the same way, Washington D.C.’s “liberal” City Council passed a law entitling non-citizens who had been there for just 30 days to vote in its elections. This is an abomination for “conservatives” because each vote cast by such an individual potentially cancels the vote of a legal, tax-paying citizen who has in fact earned the Democratic Right to have his voice heard.
Donald Trump’s assertion that the 2020 election was stolen from him due to the lax voting protocols put in place in response to the Covid outbreak, is of course denounced by the Left as just another example of his arrogance. Ironically, however, Hillary Clinton and other defeated Democrats have also indited electoral corruption as the cause of their defeats. But while a system immune to abuse would seem to be essential to the health of any Democracy, the “inclusive” Left now ironically denounces all Republican efforts to uphold the Rule of Law as somehow racist and corrupt.
In 2022 the state of Arizona passed a piece of legislation designed to deter non-citizens from voting. in any election. Unenforced for 2 years due to ongoing debate on various aspects of the bill, the Supreme Court recently validated that aspect of it mandating that every new voter in the state must show proof of citizenship. The Save Act is a presently debated piece of federal legislation designed to ensure the same level of voting integrity throughout the country. Democrats are appalled, saying that the insignificant impact of “illegals” on U.S. elections hardly merits the burden on those having to attain proof of citizenship in order to vote. Their argument, I believe, is utterly hypocritical, as was recently exposed by “conservative” commentator Mike Lee who said: “If you’re convinced that non-citizens don’t vote — against evidence showing that in many cases they have — then what is the harm in passing the Save Act?”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been working to clean up his state’s voting lists since 2021. His efforts have led to the removal of over one million still registered names, including those of people who have died or left the state. While this may seem to be a mere statistical issue, mail-in voting opens the door for those who might loathe a particular candidate [you know who I mean!] to vote multiple times, using the names of people no longer residents of their state. Among those so motivated, by the way, were perhaps the more than 6500 purged from the voting lists of Texas who were in fact non-citizens.
Democrats typically denounce Republican attempts to insure voter integrity as the product of a heartless indifference to the challenges confronting the poor, the uneducated, people of color, etc.. But in a recent interview with Bill Maher, Quentin Tarantino naively revealed the true nature of the contemporary Left, screaming that Kamala’s sole focus in the upcoming election ought to be on “f…ing winning.” Maher’s reaction to his rant was the conclusion that “principles don’t matter” to many on the Left just so long as that monster Trump is defeated. This moral bankruptcy has long been obvious to those of a rational, “conservative” perspective. Multiple efforts by Democrats to allow illegal aliens to vote are obviously rooted in their assumption they will be voting for them rather than the party determined to regain control of America’s borders. They are primarily motivated, that is to say, by a lust for power rather than empathy for the “disenfranchised.” Quentin Tarantino couldn’t have put it any better!
