Thom Hartmann: Voter fraud is Voter fraud - Except for Republicans

[thomhartmann]

Bill Pascoe, Citizens for the Republic (CFTR) joins Thom Hartmann. One of ALEC's biggest causes - is denying people the right to vote. Many of these right-wing voter laws that are requiring people to have voter IDs - were conceived at these same ALEC conferences - by Republican lawmakers working on behalf of corporate CEOs who don't like poor people voting in their best interests. According to the Brennan Center for Justice - 5 million eligible voters in America will be disenfranchised next election thanks to these laws. So - sadly - the effort appears to be working for Republicans - except for those like Newt Gingrich who didn't make the Virginia Primary ballot.

You may remember that last week - Gingrich - Rick Perry - Rick Santorum - and Jon Huntsman failed to get their name on the ballot in Virginia because of strict new voting laws that require addresses people list on petitions to exactly match their addresses listed in the state's voter registration database. Gingrich needed 10,000 signatures - he got more than 11,000 - but 1500 hundreds of them were fraudelent under the new criteria. The case was similar for Rick Perry. This is what's called voter registration fraud. And it's the same thing Republican accused ACORN of back in 2009 - and literally took down the organization. But Gingrich - he claims it was just a mistake.
