COLUMBUS, Ohio— Ohioans (click here) will be able to vote in person on two Saturdays and no Sundays ahead of this year’s general election, under a statewide early-voting schedule released Tuesday by Secretary of State Jon Husted....
The Voting Rights Act, while important, was passed nearly 100 years after the 15th Amendment was ratified. The 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were about empowering African Americans as citizens.
The 15th Amendment guarantees the right of African American men the right to vote. That is guaranteed to them from words AMENDING the USA Constitution. It is not an act of Congress, it is the will of the American people.
The reason The Voting Rights Act was necessary is because the states were leveraging power against our minorities through challenges to their 'fitness' to vote. Literacy, Poll Taxes, etc. Implied in the 13th through 15th Amendments is the fact bigotry and racism exists. The 13th could be argued to be an economic issue as it freed slaves. But, from that moment forward the demand of amending the USA Constitution was revealing overt racism.
The problem with Mr. Husted and the Ohio vote is leveraging power based in racism. So, while Mr. Husted believes he is exonerated from racism because of the power within his office, he is not. Mr. Husted is overtly racist for the same reasons the 14th and 15th Amendment were ratified.
Mr. Husted believes the Robert's Court leveraged power as well in favor of racism. No one had to make a phone call to Mr. Husted from the Supreme Court to state same, it is IMPLIED. We know Clarence Thomas can't see racism if it were hanging before him, so his vote against the Voting Rights Act is mutt as a statement about our minority voters.
The 14th and 15th Amendments state African American men are suppose to be considered citizens with full rights. What occurred with the Voting Rights Act was to remove any attempt to taint the rights through manipulation of words by those seeking to reduce the number of citizens voting through 'qualifying' events. The Amendments create NO qualifying events except perhaps a person's freedom and/or birth within the borders of the USA.
It is amazing to realize how our minorities have been chronically challenged with burdens to remove their voting rights. But, Husted is an easy assail for justice.
This is a video from The Rachel Maddow Show highlighting aspects of the 2012 elections. The 2012 election was that last nationwide election previous to 2014, so events that occurred two years ago are still valid as to testament to what is occurring in Ohio today.
It is completely obvious through his 'behavior' that Mr. Husted is a bigot, racist and all around nasty man that wants to 'fix an election.' That is illegal. Mr. Husted once again has to be taken to the wood shed and reminded he is about the nastiest no good in the country. I also believe because this is CHRONIC 'behavior' by Mr. Husted should be considered a criminal. His actions speak for themselves and once again minorities in Ohio are unduly burdened in order to vote. Amazing, isn't it? There is not one decent ounce of morality in that man. Not for one minute is he the man that should be handing down voting REGULATIONS in Ohio and with a history besides. But, he is and that makes this newest assault on minorities all that more easy to illustrate to a judge and quite possibly a prosecutor.
Mr. Husted cannot state he was simply under the impression he could do what he felt was needed given his history of oppression of the Ohio vote. This new effort to suppress the vote by Mr. Husted is more fraudulent than oppressive.
Acts of fraud affect vote counts to bring about an election result, whether by increasing the vote share of the favored candidate, depressing the vote share of the rival candidates, or both.
Electoral fraud can happen in any election where a cheater perceives the potential gain as worth the risk.
Mr. Husted is a cheater.
So. Besides his nasty racist agenda he also is overtly breaking the law by cheating people out of their vote. He now has a history and I do believe charges of fraud should be filed along with a civil suit to remove the burdens from Ohio voters. He has gone too far and it is time he pay the price.
