Caging (voter suppression) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evidence of caging in the United States

[edit] 1980s

In 1981 and 1986 the Republican National Committee (RNC) sent out letters to predominantly African-American neighborhoods. When tens of thousands of them were returned undeliverable, the party successfully challenged the voters and had them deleted from voting rolls. Due to the violation of the Voting Rights Act, the RNC was taken to court. Its officials entered a consent decree which prohibited the party from engaging in anti-fraud initiatives that targeted minorities or conducting mail campaigns to "compile voter challenge lists."[5]

[edit] 2004 US Election

BBC journalist Greg Palast obtained an RNC document entitled "State Implementation Template III.doc" that described Republican election operations for caging plans in numerous states. The paragraph in the document pertaining to caging was:


V. Pre Election Day Operations New Registration Mailing
At whatever point registration in the state closes, a first class mailing should be sent to all new registrants as well as purged/inactive voters. This mailing should welcome the recipient to the voter rolls. It is important that a return address is clearly identifiable. Any mail returned as undeliverable for any reason, should be used to generate a list of problematic registrations. Poll watchers should have this list and be prepared to challenge anyone from this list attempting to vote.[6][7]
Shortly before the 2004 election, Palast also obtained a caging list for Jacksonville, Florida, which contained a high number of African Americans and registered Democrats. The caging list was attached to an email which a Florida Republican party official was sending to RNC headquarters official Tim Griffin.[7][8][9]
The Republican National Committee sent letters to predominantly urban minority areas in Ohio. When 35,000 letters were returned as undeliverable, the party employed poll watchers to challenge the voters. Voting rights groups challenged the RNC in a case that went to the Supreme Court, but the RNC was not stopped from challenging those voters. Similarly, the RNC sent out 130,000 letters in Philadelphia hoping to cage voters there. Philadelphia is a city with a majority African American population that votes heavily Democratic. The Republicans were attempting to cage votes by people who were likely to vote for the Democratic candidates.[10]
In the Ohio court challenge, the RNC submitted a caging list that targeted urban and African-American areas in and around Cleveland.[11]
Journalists found evidence that the Republican National Committee (RNC) attempted to use caging to suppress votes in five states in the 2004 US presidential election. For example, in New Jersey RNC officials used caging lists to challenge absentee ballots and absentee ballot requests.[11]

[edit] 2008 US Election
As noted earlier, the Republican Secretary of State in Michigan was found purging voters from voting rolls when voter ID cards were returned as undeliverable. In the court challenge, the federal judge ordered the state to reinstate the voters.[12] The judge ruled that the state's actions were in violation of the NVRA. His decision noted that there was no way to prevent qualified voters from being disfranchised as their cards may be returned as undeliverable due to postal error, clerical error, inadvertent routing within a multi-unit dwelling, and even simple misspelling or transposition of numbers in an address.[13]
In December 2007, Kansas GOP Chair Kris Kobach sent an email boasting, "[T]o date, the Kansas GOP has identified and caged more voters in the last 11 months than the previous two years!"[14]
Republicans sent out fundraising mailers to voters in five Florida counties: Duval, Hillsborough, Collier, Miami-Dade and Escambia, with 'do not forward' on the letters. The mailers included inaccurate Voter ID numbers and ostensibly confirmed with voters they were registered as Republican. The RNC declined to discuss the mailer with the St. Petersburg Times. A representative denied the mailing had anything to do with caging. "Two top Florida elections officials, both Republicans, faulted the GOP mailing, calling it "confusing" and "unfortunate" because of a potential to undermine voter confidence by making them question the accuracy of their registrations." Some officials expressed concern that the RNC would try to use a caging list derived from the mailers.[15]
In Northern California reports of voter caging emerged when letters marked 'do not forward' were sent to Democrats with fake voter ID numbers. The description of the letters matches the letters that were sent out in Florida.[16] See the caging letter that was sent out here. Many details on the letters were false; for example, the letters referred to a Voter Identification Division but RNC personnel said they had no such department. The RNC did not return calls from a news organization regarding the letters.
On October 5, 2008 the Republican (but elected on the Democratic ticket) Lt. Governor of Montana, John Bohlinger, accused the Montana Republican Party of vote caging to purge 6,000 voters from three counties which trend Democratic. These purges included decorated war veterans and active duty soldiers.[17]
The New York Times found in its review of state records that unlawful actions in six states led to widespread voter purges, which could have impact on the 2008 elections. Some of the actions were apparently the result of mistakes by the states' handling voter registrations and files as they tried to comply with a 2002 federal law related to running elections. While neither party was singled out, because the Democratic Party registered more new voters this year, Democratic voters were more adversely affected by such actions of state officials.[18]

 

[Truthmatters]

that isnt there whole record of fraud either

 

[Rozman]

Maybe I'm misreading the situation here.
Could it be that black folks are looking for an excuse to not
vote for Obama.

They can just blame it on the white man keeping them down....

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

there is only one reason these laws were drafted.


cheating

Prove it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You'll have to visit every cemetery to get all those Dem voters

 

[AmericanFirst]

see , just another admission that the right doewsnt watn certain voters to have the right to vote

Dimwits don't like voter id because they love illegal votes like illegal immigrants voting. Nothing wrong with voter id, just libtards brains are screwy.

 

[bripat9643]

If it really is about helping make sure legal voters vote then why is the democractic having to do all the work to make sure the right to vote for these people isnt allowed be taken from them?

All the illegal voters are Democrats.

 

[bripat9643]

see , just another admission that the right doewsnt watn certain voters to have the right to vote

That's right. We don't want illegal aliens, dead people, convicted felons and cartoon characters to have the right to vote.

 

[bripat9643]

Does the republican party not want to make sure all legal voters vote?

Not in the slightest. Why would anyone want all the clueless morons in the world to vote?

 

[bripat9643]

why are they not scambling to help the voters to prove they believe in all voters voting

Why would the Republican Party help Democrats vote?

Voter fraud? Is it real or is it just plain talkng points BS?

It appears to be BS.

 

[g5000]

You're avoiding my question. Maybe you missed it.

Why should someone have to provide ID to get a gun license, but not have to provide one to vote?

I have pointed out which logical fallacy this is in other Voter ID topics. Anyone remember which one it is?

 

[g5000]

You can't function in society without and ID... you can't even check out a library book.

And yet it appears 750,000 people in Pennsylvania are without ID.

How do you explain this?

 

[g5000]

Voter ID is a solution looking for a problem.

It is amazing that UnConservatives believe that we need more government involvement in the excercise of our constitutional right to vote.

If dead people are voting, Voter ID will not remove them from the voter registration rolls. If dead people are not being cleaned off the voter registration rolls by what every true conservative knows is an inefficent government, it is baffling that anyone calling themselves a conservative would believe the cure for that inefficient government is MORE government involvement!

There is not one case of voter fraud in over 225 years of voting which can be shown that only Voter ID could have prevented or caught.

You can post all the voter fraud cases you like, and you won't find a single one which only Voter ID would catch or prevent. And no one has shown illegals are swinging elections.

No one.

Ever.



The true motive behind Voter ID is to make it harder for certain citizens to vote. And if your cause is so weak that you have to cheat to win, then your cause sucks donkey balls.

I guess if you are getting your ass kicked, it is easier to hobble the other guy instead of facing the reality you can't argue your case on a level playing field and win.

You're a racist.
