Wants voters to get more information

Published: July 8, 2012 

In response to the June 20 letter, "Concerned Democrats registering non-citizens," the writer has little to fear with regards to voter fraud by Democrats. George Bush spent 8 years during his two terms searching unsuccessfully for voter fraud. It was found to be practically non-existent. However, I believe election fraud is rampant in the U.S. This is exemplified by the massive voter purges being conducted in some of the Republican states. The greatest abuse is by Florida Gov. Rick Scott. Tens of thousands of suspect voters have been removed from voter registration rolls, many of them I believe are legitimate voters. This despite warnings from the Department of Justice that this action is largely illegal. I would like to quote Paul Weyrich, co-founder of the right wing think tank Heritage Foundation, from a 1980 speech. "I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

One of the greatest threats to our democracy are low-information voters. Please do not rely on one source of information to form an opinion. Fox so-called news is just that.
