Bring Out Your Dead! Obama Regime Launches National Drive to Counter Voter-ID Laws

President Obama’s reelection campaign launched a national drive Friday to counter new restrictive voter-access laws, which advisers said threaten his electoral chances in November.

Organizers will fan out in key swing states this weekend to teach volunteers and voters how to navigate a series of laws passed by Republican-controlled state legislatures imposing stricter identification requirements, limiting early voting and making it harder to organize voter-registration drives.

It is the beginning of a months-long effort, campaign officials said, to combat what they described as a Republican effort to stifle voting among young people and minorities, two groups that traditionally tend to vote Democratic . . .

The Obama campaign’s “weekend of action” is part of a field effort that in 2008 helped identify, register and turn out millions of new voters. Those new voters gave Obama wins in unlikely places, including North Carolina and Virginia, where young and minority voters helped make the difference.

I was in Columbus, Ohio yesterday to attend the rally in support of Ohio’s HeartBeat Bill, which seeks to ban the abortion of any baby with a detectable heartbeat.

While walking to the rally a black woman approached me with a clipboard in hand along with a pitch to have me sign a petition to protect “our” right to vote.

When I asked her if her petition was to oppose the voter ID law, she said it was. She looked shocked and stunned when I related that I favored voter ID laws because I did not want dead people voting in the next election. In an apparent stupor she drifted away. The thought “mindless robot” came to mind, more accurately an Obot – an unthinking Obama supporter!
