GOP Voter Suppression And Disenfranchisement. A Cartoon Compendium

Pax On Both Houses: Compendium Of Voter Fraud And Voter Suppression Posts


Alan: Although voter fraud is insignificant in comparison with the disenfranchisement of voters promoted by "conservatives" as a remedy for alleged voter fraud, I nevertheless favor mandatory voter I.D. "phased in" over ten years. 

"Let's Make Photo I.D.s Mandatory For U.S. Voters"




The Daily Show interviews Republican official, Don Yelton, who spills the beans on his party's deliberate suppression of voters while masquerading this practice as prevention of voter fraud.

Alan: The nation's newspapers would perform a crucial public service by creating a central repository to report all cases of voter fraud in the 2014 (and future) elections.
The actual number of cases will be minute and those that are successfully prosecuted will be vanishingly small.

Conservatives "believe" that principled perfection is sufficient justification for voter restriction.

"Principled Perfection" is in fact The Problem.

"Is Perfectionism A Curse? Paul Ryan Tells The Truth"

"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice.  The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization.  We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal.  Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good.  The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.”  
"Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander,” by Trappist monk, Father Thomas Merton

Editorial cartoon criticizing the usage of literacy tests for African Americans as a qualification to vote. Cartoon shows man “Mr. Solid South” writing on wall, “Eddikashun qualifukashun. The Black man orter be eddikated afore he kin vote with us Wites, signed Mr. Solid South.” An African American looks on.

Conservatives are nuts.
There will not be a single proven case of a dead person voting in today's election.

The nation's newspapers can perform a crucial public service by creating a central repository to report all cases of voter fraud in the 2014 (and all future) elections.

I have no doubt that the actual number of cases will be tiny.


The number of cases that are successfully prosecuted will be vanishingly minute.

If the same penalty applied to those depriving citizens of their vote by creating obstacles that disproportionately impact Democratic constituencies, most Republicans would be in jail and the national debt would be paid.
