WOAI has this story about illegal aliens voting in Texas elections.
Hundreds of illegal immigrants have registered to vote in Bexar County in recent years and dozens of them have actually cast ballots, canceling out the votes of U.S. citizens, 1200 WOAI news will report Thursday morning.
Figures obtained by 1200 WOAI news shows 303 illegals successfully registered to vote, and at least 41 cast ballots in various elections.
Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanan confirmed the figures, but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury.
Republicans in the Texas legislature are pushing for a voter ID requirement, but Democrats naturally block it.
Democrats, though outnumbered, have one more vote than they need to block any measure. And they are united in their opposition to the voter ID bill because they say it’s a ploy to discourage two of their core constituencies -- ethnic minorities and elderly voters -- from casting ballots. Dewhurst, who is widely expected to run for governor in 2010, is an ardent champion of the measure, which he says would protect the integrity of elections.
But as the WOAI story points out, not having voter ID--and having the insidious Motor Voter law--allows illegals to vote, an argument considered "racist" by those in favor of illegal aliens voting.
So, let's recap.
If you want to buy a beer, you have to have ID.
If you want to get a library card, you have to have ID.
If you want to rent a movie, you have to have ID.
If you want to buy Sudafed, you have to have ID.
If you want to open a checking account, you have to have ID.
If you want to vote, don't dare ask for ID because then you're suppressing the votes of minorities!
Why do Democrats demand that we not know who is voting? Because they know that the bigger the voting pool, the more likely they are to get elected. Why is that? Because less informed, less educated, poorer people tend to vote for Democrats who promise more "free" services. In the Democrat worldview, allowing illegals to vote is the price we pay for having free and open elections. And given that President Bush and Congressional Democrats are hellbent to encourage more illegals to come here, the problem of illegals voting is only going to get worse.
