The Jan. 8 special election in Branchville will be the first balloting in South Carolina in which voters must show photo identification, according to Howard Jackson, Orangeburg County's director of voter registration and elections.
Kris Kobach, the secretary of state of Kansas, has released some very interesting statistics that disprove -- once again -- the fallacious claims made by critics of voter ID.
Robert Knight: If you think the left is resting on its laurels after Barack Obama's re-election and the Democrats' retention of the U.S. Senate, think again. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who halted photo ID laws in South Carolina and Texas before the November election, has suggested that the United States should consider adopting "automatic" voter registration.
The Left's vicious all-out assault on electoral integrity this past election cycle was largely funded by the nation's most radical labor union and the man who brought you Rice Krispies. The Battle Creek, Michigan-based W.K. Kellogg Foundation funneled a staggering $5.2 million in grants to the Applied Research Center (ARC), which churned out a steady stream of propaganda aimed at convincing Americans it's somehow racist to require photo ID from a voter, Media Trackers Ohio reports.
The Ohio secretary of state's site reports that 104,461 people are registered to vote in Wood County. According to the 2011 Census, Wood County has a population of 126,355. An estimated 21 percent are younger than 18 and unable to vote. That means that only about 100,000, give or take, of Wood County residents should be of voting age. So why are so many Wood County residents registered to vote?
Vote fraud has been alleged in key states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and Florida where in St. Lucie County, the unofficial vote count showed 175,554 registered voters but 247,713 vote cards were cast.
CARSON CITY -- FBI agents arrested a woman on Friday in Las Vegas on charges that she tried to vote twice in the presidential election.
John Fund in National Review: An unnamed private family foundation paid for 145 billboards in Ohio and Wisconsin. The boards featured a picture of a judge's gavel and a simple message: "Voter Fraud Is a Felony -- up to 3 and a half years and a $10,000 fine." That's it. But liberal activist groups went into frenzy mode, claiming the billboards were part of a voter-suppression scheme, so the billboards' owner, Clear Channel, is removing the signs.
The Tennessee Court of Appeals upheld the state's new voter identification requirement, but it also agreed to let voters in Memphis use new library cards at the polls -- splitting the difference on the divisive issue less than two weeks before the Nov. 6 election.
Patrick Moran, campaign field director for his father Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), resigned after a tape was released of him discussing ways around Virginia's new voter ID law.
