Another Mythical Conviction

Tennessee Voter Fraud Conviction

Another myth conviction, also another game of guess the political party

Via WREG

Former Bolivar City Council member Brenda Woods has been convicted of three counts of procuring illegal voters in the city’s 2009 municipal elections.

Three people testified, two of whom are related to Woods, that they had felony convictions on their records in May of 2009 when voted.

At the time, Woods was running for mayor and for city council.

Woods lost the mayor’s race, but won the council seat.

The witnesses, who were granted immunity, said Woods took them to the polls at separate times to vote for her even though she knew they were felons.

The witnesses said Woods, “assured them they could still vote.”

A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation investigation showed the three voters had cast their ballots illegally because since their voting rights had not been restored.

Changes have reportedly been made to make sure those not allowed to vote are not able to cast ballots since this happened.

Woods faces up to two years in prison or probation on each count when she is sentenced on April 11.

Shelby County assistant district attorneys Kirby May and Marques Young were appointed as special prosecutors.

Woods was convicted on the charges in 2010, but was awarded a new trial on appeal two years later.

“I love that they’re doing this. I want to go to trial. This is wonderful. I’m going to beat them again,” Woods told WBBJ-TV in May of 2013.

According to the D.A., “In 2011 Woods pleaded guilty to three counts of theft of property under $500 for shoplifting incidents in several stores in Shelby County. She was given suspended sentences of 11 months and 29 days.

Woods also has a shoplifting case and a criminal simulation case pending in Madison County.”

Here's another reason to look for REAL news -- ANYWHERE, other than the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM.

The LSM is, the American LSM is more akin to what you might find in North Korea or Cuba than what it was intended to be in the 1st Amendment.

Now, don't get me wrong.... There are reporters out there doing good work.. INCREDIBLE work. Dangerous work. Many die getting their jobs done.

But then they send it in to Reuters or AP or UPI and where it goes from there is entirely up to their subscribers (NBC, CBS, NYT, WaPo, ABC etc).

If it favors a certain POV (usually communist) you'll find it in every newspaper and on every TV station in America.

If it favors Freedom, Patriotism and goodness, or if it makes the scum of the earth dimocraps look like the scum they are -- Nobody touches it.

the DISGUSTING FILTH in the american LSM is the worst propaganda on Earth.

Believe it. Nobody trust them anymore. Well.... Except idiots

Far-Left Rag Salon: GOP The Party For “White Supremacy”…

They also give us this gem, “Paul Ryan traffics in racism because the Republican Party is a racist organization.”

Via Salon:

Paul Ryan has attempted to clarify his racist argument that “inner city” black people are lazy and do not want to work. He issued a statement that:

After reading the transcript of yesterday morning’s interview, it is clear that I was inarticulate about the point I was trying to make. I was not implicating the culture of one community—but of society as a whole.

This is a false and disingenuous pseudo apology. Paul Ryan is the leader of a political party that is the country’s premier white identity organization. The Republican Party has also merged conservatism and racism in such a way that appeals to white racial resentment are its Lingua Franca and a taken for granted way of thinking about political and social reality.

Paul Ryan traffics in racism because the Republican Party is a racist organization. The calculus is not complicated.

There has been some smart writing about Paul Ryan’s use of coded racial appeals. However, the majority of the news media is asking the wrong question. Instead of trying to figure out “if” Paul Ryan is a racist, the more revealing question is “what type of racist is he?”

There are three basic ways to understand Paul Ryan’s racism, both as part of a pattern of behavior by Republicans, and as an example of (symbolic) white racism in the post civil rights era.

This is what passes for Journalism on our Country?

Something else you have to get from the alternative media because you aren't going to see it in the DISGUSTING FILTH of the LSM.

Imagine if this were a Republican..... We'd already have ten threads going on it


Pennsylvania Attorney General Kane Threatens to Sue People If They Continue Accurately Reporting That She Dropped Prosecutions of Democrats Caught Taking Bribes
Ace of Spades HQ

First of all, the background:

Kane shut down sting that snared Phila. officials - Philly.com

The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office ran an undercover sting operation over three years that captured leading Philadelphia Democrats, including four members of the city's state House delegation, on tape accepting money, The Inquirer has learned.
Yet no one was charged with a crime.

Prosecutors began the sting in 2010 when Republican Tom Corbett was attorney general. After Democrat Kathleen G. Kane took office in 2013, she shut it down.

In a statement to The Inquirer on Friday, Kane called the investigation poorly conceived, badly managed, and tainted by racism, saying it had targeted African Americans.

...

Before Kane ended the investigation, sources familiar with the inquiry said, prosecutors amassed 400 hours of audio and videotape that documented at least four city Democrats taking payments in cash or money orders, and in one case a $2,000 Tiffany bracelet.

Typically, the payments made at any one time were relatively modest - ranging from $500 to $2,000 - but most of those involved accepted multiple payments, people familiar with the investigation said. In some cases, the payments were offered in exchange for votes or contracts, they said.

Sources with knowledge of the sting said the investigation made financial pitches to both Republicans and Democrats, but only Democrats accepted the payments.

...

Sources with knowledge of the sting said Ali approached a wide range of officials, from both parties, black and white. In time, the sources said, Ali didn't even have to reach out to elected officials. They called him.

Tyron B. Ali was a lobbyist who'd been caught in a $430,000 fraud case. Apparently prosecutors recruited him to wear a wire for this investigation. He was connected to the political culture of west Philadelphia, because that's where he'd operated before. That, rather than race, accounts for who he did or didn't contact. (And, apparently, elected officials were calling him, anyway.)

Given this explosive slam-dunk corruption case, Kane chooses to disappear it, and issues a single quote when asked about it: that the case is "nothing more than the Good Ol' Boys club playing political games to discredit me in order to fulfill their own selfish and improper agenda."

And now, via the Ungrateful Loaf of Bread, she seems to be threatening the free press in an effort to cover up her cover up.

During the meeting, Sprague [Kane's new lawyer] suggested that The Inquirer may have been used by the sources of its stories – “wittingly or unwittingly” as a “weapon” to attack Kane to defend themselves from potential charges of wrongdoing in the management of the probe.

“I intend to look at the investigation from the very beginning to the conclusion of it, and in terms of what has been published, by this paper and others, to take appropriate action on behalf of the attorney general against those responsible for the defamatory and the false publications that have been made,” Sprague said.

Incredible. Incredible.

the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM report on a dishonest dimocrap? Heaven forbid.

Besides, if they started doing that, they wouldn't have time for anything else

It's funny how Democrats insist there's no such thing as voter fraud, thus no need for voter ID, but are accusing Republicans of voter fraud all the time. Can any of them pass the pipe and give me the recipe for whatever they're smoking?

And? You can have ID and be registered in the wrong state, there is a slew of other things that can constitute voter fraud. However, Carbine, you did not deny the fact that voter fraud does indeed exist. Any other admissions you wish to make?

Why are Republicans trying to get rid of early voting, weekend voting etc., etc., that is proven to disproportionately affect likely Democratic voters?

What does that have to do with a couple felons illegally voting?

Because, you know..... Voter fraud doesn't exist..

Because you know, Voter ID will stop voter fraud. Except it doesn't. Just like it would not have stopped this one.

Gosh, it is too bad the Right is too focused on wasting taxpayer dollars on an ineffective government program like Voter ID instead of, you know, actually stopping fraud.

Explain that. Someone goes up to vote, they aren't the person they say they are, they can't produce ID to prove it. How was voter fraud not prevented?

That is not the fraud which most commonly occurs. As I keep saying, Voter ID does not prevent the type of fraud which actually does occur. Voter ID would only prevent in-person fraud, which is incredibly rare. And if you spent ten seconds, you know, thinking about it, you would know why.

But Voter ID rubes obviously don't think, because they keep providing us with entertaining topics about voter fraud which would not be stopped or prevented by Voter ID.

The only way those felons could have voted was if their names were on a registered voter list. This means asking for their ID would not have stopped them from voting. The problem is that they were on the registered voter list to begin with. Therefore, THAT is the kind of problem we should be fixing. But noooooooo. Let's go with a completely ineffective plan (Voter ID) instead and call it good.

When will you idiots finally figure this shit out?

Seriously.

[g5000]

Most of the voter fraud cases presented on this forum to justify Voter ID were absentee voter frauds, which is always great fun since Voter ID won't stop absentee voter fraud.

Other types of fraud presented here are imaginary ones. That's because they can't find real examples of fraud which would be stopped or prevented by Voter ID.

Cases of felons who have not had their rights restored, or dead people voting, is the result of improperly maintaining voter registration lists. So, hmmmmm, what would be the best solution to an improperly maintained voter registration list?

If you said, "Voter ID!" go to the back of the short bus.

Voter ID does not remove a felon from the voter registration list. So he can show his ID all the live long day and still vote. "There's my name on the list of approved voters, and here's my ID."

The OBVIOUS answer is to properly maintain the registered voter list. If someone dies, remove them from the registered voter list. If someone is convicted of a felony and has their voting rights removed, take them off the registered voter list.

Duh.

I see, so when you said, "Voter ID will stop voter fraud. Except it doesn't" you didn't mean it won't stop any fraud, you meant it won't stop all fraud. I'll stipulate that's true, but why is the standard we need to stop all fraud with one solution? Shouldn't we go after solutions to each type of fraud separately?

As for your point on registered, people can be registered and be dead or otherwise unable to vote. Because someone is registered doesn't mean you are that person. Hence ... the ID ...

I still don't see why having an ID is an issue?
