NH Republican House Speaker wants to disenfranchise young voters who "vote as a liberal"

Fox News host suggests Democrats are ‘for voter fraud’



Ignoring Holder’s point about there being no widespread voter fraud, Carlson said she could not imagine why anyone would be against voter ID laws.

“I just don’t understand who is for voter fraud?” she asked. “Like, who is going to stand up and say, ‘Yeah, I’m for voter fraud’? All this does is try to cut down on that.”

Republican House Speaker in New Hampshire, Bill O’Brien, was caught on tape explaining why he wanted to disenfranchise young voters.



“The kids are coming out of the school and basically doing what I did when I was a kid: voting as a liberal,” he told a tea party group last year. “You know, that’s what kids do. They don’t have life experience and they just vote their feelings.”

No one should be allowed to vote except the party line. Sounds like the Soviet Union, doesn't it?

for that, they'd somehow be unable to vote in the general election in November, because of something being wrong in the "registration" or your ID ...

Lincoln Davis a former US Representative from the state was denied the vote last Tuesday because he was "purged" from the voter rolls in his ward. By "mistake" of course.

Everybody in these red states with these voter ID laws REALLY needs to call and make sure they're still registered.
