11. To Control America, They Control the Elections
Wed Feb 3, 2016, 05:55 PM

Thanks for the link
Voter ID laws are but one component of their control of America's elections
And Eric Holder could have done something about this, the ID laws still violate other laws

The Proper Name for all this is "Election Manipulation"
Not "election Fraud"
It includes:
Voter list cleansing & removal of qualified voters
Voter suppression tactics
not enough machines
consolidation of precincts
voter intimidation tactics
Voter ID laws
Gerrymandering
Elimination of paper ballots (i.e. evidence)
Accessible to electronic (on line) hacking systems
Rerouting tabulation to out of state servers
Rigged programs
Tabulation Manipulation (Vote tabulation altering)
It also helps when Voting machine companies are owned by active Right Wing players
Hart Inter Civic-owned by H.I.G. Capital. One of the two founders was previously at Bain Capital and was a top Romney campaign person. He is on the Board of Hart. 15 of H.I.G.'s management were previously at Bain.
Obama/Eric Holder did not do an f'n thing to investigate election tabulation manipulation. The Rethugs know that they can get away with everything and anything with impunity
