Republicans lose appeal on poll-watching tactics


The Republican National Committee on Thursday lost a bid to dissolve a decades-old legal agreement with the Democratic National Committee over the GOP's use of improper election tactics.

The agreement dates to 1982, when the Republican National Committee settled a lawsuit brought by the Democratic National Committee accusing the GOP of trying to intimidate minority voters. Under the agreement, the Republican National Committee must obtain court approval before implementing certain poll-monitoring activities in minority precincts.

From the link, it seems that the Republicans wanted to be certain that a voter was who he said he was....
...as in photo ID.

Is that the argument?

If so, why would you be opposed to same?

Election law professor Richard Hasen at University of California, Irvine described the ruling as a "huge win" for the Democratic Party. He said the Republican National Committee could file an emergency appeal to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who oversees the 3rd Circuit. Alternately, the committee could seek review by the full 3rd Circuit.

Impersonation fraud, which the ballot security measures target, is only a small fraction of voter fraud, the court noted in its opinion. More common types of fraud include corruption among election officials or attempts to manipulate absentee ballots, said Hasen, who has written a forthcoming book on the subject.

The case is Democratic National Committee et al v. Republican National Committee et al, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, No. 09-4615.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
No.04-4186
______________________________________________________________________________
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE,
Defendant-Appellant
v.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE

 

[HUGGY]

Voting fraud is non existant. The GOP doesn't see the forest through the trees. If they are really worried about a problem with voting it is that only about 38% of the registered voters vote at all. Their energy would be better spent giving the voting public something worth voting for and thereby tapping into the vast majority of Americans that don't give a fuck.

It seems that the result of the 1982 fabrication of 'convict' status list for a number of blacks the RNC agreed to return to court if the RNC wished any poll watching and/or fraud reducing measures.

Photo ID is a separate matter, but covered broadly by the decree.

Doesn't it appear that the RNC has correctly identified a problem...but Democrat-controlled court (I'm guessing) is using the 1982 decree agreement to block fraud reduction?


And, again, what problem do you have with photo ID?

"Voting fraud is non existant."


"While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison, sentenced for carrying out a massive voter fraud scheme.

In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers is identified on an NAACP website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee.

Sowers received a five-year prison term for each of the 10 counts, but Circuit Court Judge Charles Webster permitted Sowers to serve those terms concurrently, according to the Tunica Times, the only media outlet to cover the sentencing.

“This crime cuts against the fabric of our free society,” Judge Webster said.
Sowers was found guilty of voting in the names of Carrie Collins, Walter Howard, Sheena Shelton, Alberta Pickett, Draper Cotton and Eddie Davis. She was also convicted of voting in the names of four dead persons: James L. Young, Dora Price, Dorothy Harris, and David Ross.
