When Obama And His Party Need To Suppress The Vote, It’s OK

The Democrats have been making desperate arguments against voter ID legislation, including claims that it will disenfranchise married women due to their name change. Naturally, they’ve left out the part about Barack Obama launching his political career by using the name change of a married woman in his successful attempt to have all his opponents kicked off the ballot and run unopposed.
The SAVE Act, which has been passed by the House and is heavily supported by the public but is stalled in the Republican Senate, simply “requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, and requires photo identification to vote, in federal elections.” It does not establish a poll tax, a literacy test, nor pre-19th Amendment restrictions to disenfranchise women.
Yet New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer has repeatedly called it Jim Crow 2.0 because in his fevered all-for-the-party mind it “has nothing to do with protecting our elections and everything to do with federalizing voter suppression.”
Democrats, who want to flood elections with illegal aliens because they will vote their way, have also whined that the law will prevent married women from voting because the names on their birth certificates don’t match their married names.
This shows how duplicitous they are: Obama exploited the name difference of at least one married woman to clear his path to the Illinois Senate.
