Applauding The Supreme Court

Today's ruling by the Supreme Court was a triumph for fair voting!  Having lived in New Mexico, and having a poll worker look like I was offering pornography when I offered him my voter registration card, I thoroughly appreciate this ruling!  My husband and I actually heard a liberal voter on the phone to a local talk show BRAG that he'd voted 5 times in 5 different counties!  I doubt New Mexico will pass a law requiring photo ID anytime soon, but at least we know they can!  There are enough other irregularities in New Mexico polling places to insure that the corrupt voting there will continue.   Here's a sample (other states thrown in, as well!);

"New Mexico
02.29.08
A Sunland Park Municipal Judge candidate has been charged with vote fraud for allegedly voting twice in the 2004 election. Questions have also arisen as to whether Horacio Favela actually lives in New Mexico. According to a criminal complaint, the Doña Ana County Bureau of Elections opened an investigation when it received anonymous information indicating that Favela may live in El Paso. A search of voter records showed Favela allegedly voted in El Paso County in 2002 and 2004 and in Doña Ana County in 2000 and 2004. The complaint further alleges that Favela voted twice by absentee in 2004. Favela allegedly told investigators that he stays in El Paso on the weekends to visit his grandchildren and did recall voting twice in 2004. He faces one count of false voting, a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison. The Las Cruces Sun-News has more on the story here.

02.27.07
The state Attorney General's Office has secured indictments against two Rio Arriba County men implicated in an alleged vote-buying scheme in the city of Española's 2006 municipal elections.   The vote-buying allegations came to light in a Rio Grande Sun report published in February 2006.   The newspaper quoted unnamed Española public housing residents as saying political operatives working for mayoral hopeful Floyd Archuleta's slate were buying votes.  The Archuleta camp denied the charges. Archuleta and the other members of his slate all went on to lose in their respective races.  (“2 indicted in alleged vote-buying scheme, suspects facing fine, prison time,” The Albuquerque Journal, 02/27/07)"



In the meantime, 25+ states can insure their voting process by requiring photo ID;

"Twenty-five states require some form of ID, and the court's 6-3 decision rejecting a challenge to Indiana's strict voter ID law could encourage others to adopt their own measures. Oklahoma legislators said the decision should help them get a version approved.

The ruling means the ID requirement will be in effect for next week's presidential primary in Indiana, where a significant number of new voters are expected to turn out for the Democratic contest between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama."

This is probably not good news in Shrillary's camp, as many of her supporters are illegal aliens.  tsk tsk
