Does "Count Every Vote" only apply to liberals and minorities
By Kevin Fobbs
Voting Rights is an essential element of the foundational rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. It appears the way that is currently applied and enforced in states that voted for Obama, that this basic citizen right's train only goes one way. Election officials in Cleveland, Ohio, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and certain Florida counties are just a few of the areas where voting irregularities and voter suppression of conservative, republicans and many white voters, have left their rights stranded at the station.
In Cleveland, there were dozens of accounts of precincts were where there were a total of 106,000 plus votes for President Obama, but the total possible votes could only amount to 98,216. This works out to vote fraud and vote theft, when 108 percent of Obama votes come out of Cleveland voter precincts. Yet, it gets even worse. In 21 voter districts in Cleveland Romney garnered precisely zero votes. Romney improved in 23 other districts, by receiving precisely one vote in each district.
This is not only voter theft of biblical proportions, but by rigging the urban vote totals in cities like Cleveland, Philadelphia and other urban areas, it diminishes the voting rights of conservative, republican and many non-minority voters who went to the polls expecting an honest election result. Civil rights of voters being abridged? Absolutely right! Yet where is the "Count every vote" rallying cry!
Of course it would be unfathomable to expect that civil rights organizations which have railed against republicans for imaginary voter fraud occurrences. Yet, since the Kennedy presidential win in 1960, where he and democrat campaign forces stole the election. Oh, didn't you know that in Chicago, they let the dead vote, and that put Kennedy over the electoral threshold.
Nothing was done about it then and this practice of systematic voter fraud has been a carefully crafted practice that Republicans have decided to never take action on, afraid of being labeled "poor losers"
But they were not only the losers in this fraudulent misappropriated electoral process. Voters' rights were stolen and left on the shelf as useless and meaningless as the laws that were never used to combat this despicable practice.
So generation after generation of voters is left with the same stale taste in their mouth, and resentment in their gut. They have been led by the nose by mainstream media pundits, organizations like the NAACP, and civil rights standard bearers like Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to never question these practices. If they are challenged they play the race card early and certainly often.
Therefore, timid republican candidates who lose are left with the same absurd answer which never changes. "You have to understand that is how it's done in those urban cities." Liberal media pundits pass it off as if this illegal fraudulent practice is merely "misbehaving children who are doing what is expected."
But voters deserve a heck of a lot better, instead of being asked to accept that violating voting laws is OK, if it is done in urban and minority controlled cities or counties. The nation should not come to expect as business as usual that wholesale theft of a presidency by any means necessary is like "children misbehaving."
2012 is the line in the sand and this time. Voters who value the rule of law should soundly reject the false sense of unearned republican guilt, conservative guilt or white guilt that liberals and mainstream media would like to heap onto them. This is the time for republican leaders and campaign officials to demonstrate steel in their backbone and challenge this election fraud as Congressman Allen West is doing in Florida!
It is not racist to confront Election Day irregularities in urban areas, because those urban areas happen to be administrated and controlled by black officials. After all what is the worst that can possibly happen? Legitimate elections could spring forth and, accurate legitimate vote totals could be the result. In addition, possibly dozens of Election Day and city or county officials could begin taking up residence on the business side of a jail or prison cell!
Instead of repeating the oft used phrase, "I guess we'll get them next time!" Voters, conservatives, republicans, and Tea Party members should ditch that nonsensical notion and fight for electoral justice. Voter theft and voter suppression is not right when it is used against any voter, whether he is black, white, brown, conservative or Tea Party supporter.
Grand juries should be impaneled in every single city or county where voter theft occurred or even if there was the whiff of voter impropriety. Civil rights which is guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution must be used if it is to have any true meaning or power.
Voter justice is sacred and it must be protected as well as insured, and its application must be color blind. Forget the guilt that liberals and civil rights Obama action teams would attempt to hang around your neck.
In America, every vote must count and only once. Now get ready, get set and be prepared to taking your voter rights back!
