Many Democrats and their
liberal supporters love to make unsubstantiated and wild claims of
disenfranchisement and restricting access to voting. These same folks
have no interest in actually fixing elections. Ironically the state that may
prove this best, New York, is the home of the leading vote fraud deniers,
MSNBC’s Al Sharpton and the Brennan Center. And this is not a matter of a
Republican group calling out Democrats.
Recently Democrat New
York City Councilman Ben Kallos went off
City Councilman Ben Kallos slammed the [New York City] Board of
Elections on Wednesday for its blame-dodging response to a scathing Department
of Investigation probe.
Kallos had told the board to hand in a plan on how it would fix
problems identified by the Department of Investigation. Instead, officials sent
in a response that dismissed most of department’s recommendations as outdated.
That scathing report,
among other problems, showed how easy it was to impersonate a voter when the police did so with shocking ease.
This is not an abstract
problem as police just weeks before witnessed an organized scheme to impersonate voters when
they saw young kids actually impersonating voters.
But here is the
problem.
The police can’t do
anything about it. The police who witnessed the voter impersonation could
not act because it was not in their “purview.”
The police who
investigated the problems and reported on it, had their report turned over to
the DA requesting
the police be prosecuted. As Councilman Kallos points out
the City Board of Elections officials
are literally doing nothing on the
substance of the report.
We give a lot of credit
to Councilman Kallos for calling for action on the probe. But the fact
remains that because of the efforts of people like the Brennan Center and Al
Sharpton, in New York the police are more likely to get into trouble for trying
to stop vote fraud than the criminals are likely to be prosecuted for
committing it.
