pparently, the racist Democrats don't have a problem with signature checks when it benefits
them....
Obama used signature process to disqualify opponents | One America News Network (oann.com)
Many Democrats have been arguing against the standard of using signature checks to verify ballots. However, it seems that Barack Obama used this tactic to successfully win his Senate race in 2004.
Actually, not true.
here's how Obama won the 2004 Senate Race.
the Chicago Machine put up a guy name Blair Hull, who everyone thought was the frontrunner. Then the media started looking into his divorce proceedings. Found out that he liked to slap the old lady around. Then the coup d'grace, they found out he called his wife one of the few words you can't use on USMB, the one that begins with a c.
Obama won the primary with 53%, 29 points ahead of his nearest rival.
Then it came time for the general election. The Republicans had nominated a guy named Jack Ryan, an entrepreneur who painted himself as a great guy who taught inner city kids... Awww. But, um hey, we just noticed you are also divorced, and your Ex-wife is actress Jeri Ryan. You wouldn't happen to have any ugly stuff in your divorce like Blair Hull did?
No, no, insisted Jack. We sealed that record because it involved custody issues related to our disabled son. And I'm totally going to court to keep it sealed.
Except that they got it unsealed, and found out he liked to take old Seven-of-Nine to Sex clubs. Seriously, how could you be married to THIS and still need to go to a sex club to get it up?
The image that made a million nerds horny!
Well, now, I know you'd like to blame Obama for this, but the people who REALLY sandbagged old Jack was the Illinois GOP. You see, there was this woman named Judy Baar Topinka who wanted to run for governor in 2006, and she didn't want Jack to make a strong showing. (The polls showed Obama easily beating him). So she pressured him to withdraw... even though she didn't have a backup candidate.
Since no sensible Republican wanted to walk into the buzzsaw that was Obama (who had just given a great speech at the 2004 DNC), so recruited Alan Keyes. You know, one of those odd self-hating blacks who identifies as a Republican. Keyes proceeded to remind the world he was crazy.... and Obama beat him 70-27%,
