A small tax-exempt political group with ties to wealthy liberals like billionaire financier George Soros has quietly helped elect 11 reform-minded progressive Democrats as secretaries of state to oversee the election process in battleground states and keep Republican “political operatives from deciding who can vote and how those votes are counted.”
Known as the Secretary of State Project (SOSP), the organization was formed by liberal activists in 2006 to put Democrats in charge of state election offices, where key decisions often are made in close races on which ballots are counted and which are not.
The group’s website said it wants to stop Republicans from “manipulating” election results.
“Any serious commitment to wresting control of the country from the Republican Party must include removing their political operatives from deciding who can vote and whose votes will count,” the group said on its website, accusing some Republican secretaries of state of making “partisan decisions.”

See how liberals work? A really honest bunch, they'll lie, cheat and steal to get control. Wresting control of elections, that's what it's all about. Who votes for whom doesn't matter, controlling elections from the Sec State office is all that matters, so one person can control elections.
 
Soros is a felon, so whatcha expect? He's a criminal. Criminals do things in a criminal way.

Which is no different how conservatives work with the help of the Koch brothers and how the Republican Party has placed added restrictions on voting procedures to limit how voting is done.

Really? Prove it. Let's see it. What "project" have the Koch's backed to subvert the election process? Let's see what you have? Probably nothing.

Added restrictions? You mean like have to show ID to prove that you are who you say you are? Restrictions like not being able to vote as many times as you can get to a different precinct? Restrictions like Dead people not being able to vote? Restrictions like questioning the fraud represented by liberal groups like ACORN? Restrictions like questioning the handing out of cold hard cash on the street on election day by demo operatives?

Yeah, we wouldn't want to put a kink in demo cheats and frauds now would we?

Now, hold the **** on a second.
What part of the voting process do you see as having been subverted by Soros?
 
We have the Diebold CEO on record promising a Bush win from his voting machines.

Soros is, and has been trying to subvert the process from the Office of SoS in every state he can.

Oh puhleeze! Here we go with that crap again :roll:

I got news for ya, Obama won last time through, Diebold machines were used, does that mean that demo's figured out how to tamper with the machines? That would be good news indeed because maybe they wouldn't need to carry around thousands of fake ballots in their cars at election time then....

Show evidence of this.

"We need to stop Republicans from cheating" is not "We want to cheat instead."

you saying it isnt prove of it.
 
Who cares? Does anyone really think it matters if a Rep or Dem wins the Presidency, or anything else? What's the ****ing difference, you look at the trends in this country they all go the same way regardless of who's in charge. Debt? Increases regardless of whos in charge. Personal liberties, decrease regardless of who's in charge. Size of government? Increases regardless of whos in charge.

All the Rep vs. Dem debate is deciding is which bullet is going into the gun that shots you.

Yes, Republicans would never do this and have never been caught cheating.
 
This thread and the faux outrage from the ultra-fright-wingers is pure BS. Republican governors and secretaries of state all over the country are trying to change voting laws. Where's your outrage over those cases?

Florida Governor Rescinds Felons' Voting Rights
Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott and his administration voted Wednesday to rescind automatic restoration of voting rights and some civil rights to tens of thousands of convicted nonviolent felons in the state, a move that critics say smacks of a return to Jim Crow-era laws in the Sunshine State.

Under the new rules, Florida felons will have to wait a minimum of five years after they’ve served their sentences to apply for the right to vote. More serious offenders would have to wait seven years.

The new law, which goes into effect immediately, cuts the number of early voting days in Florida from 15 to eight, and places more restrictions on voters seeking to update their names or addresses at the ballot box. It also requires third-party groups that register new voters to submit forms with those voters' names within 48 hours or face fines.

Limiting the ability of voters to update their address or name could impact voters in college -- a typically Democratic constituency. Meanwhile, the Herald notes, early voting was seen as having contributed to President Obama's 2008 electoral victory in the state.

The newspaper notes that in the first week of early voting in Jacksonville for a city election, 16,230 people cast ballots during the first week, at a daily average of 2,318 compared to 3,190 during the remaining days.

Scott's office reportedly said it has received 14,000 calls and emails in opposition to the law and under 1,300 in favor of it.

You could substitute liberals for conservatives and still be spot-on. Both sides want people to think the other side is the one that does not support the people or democracy when in fact neither of them do.

Your post is ridiculous to say the least. You state that "they'll lie, cheat and steal to get control". Talk about partisan hyperbole. Sorry, if the Dems aren't happy sitting back while the Republicans try to maintain a tight-fisted control over an election process that has become tainted by procedural gaffes and a hostility to voters who are rich, white and Republican.

Maybe he's talking about Black Panther thugs standing outside poll places.

Why is this? Because the prisons are filled to the brim with black thugs who would vote Democrat? Hmmm, is that what you mean by Jim Crow?

Like how the Democrats try to subvert absentee ballots from our boys in uniform, while simultaneously trying to get voting rights for convicted felons in prison.
 
Alright...time for some perspective here...

From the OP article:

The Washington Times
A small tax-exempt political group with ties to wealthy liberals like billionaire financier George Soros...
Click to expand...

Doesn't say that the political group is funded by George Soros.

Doesn't say that the political group is headed by George Soros.

The article merely states that George Soros is one of several wealthy individuals with a liberal lean who happens to be loosely associated with the tax-exempt political group. Nothing more.

Now, for those who are up in arms of the OP, let me remind the readers that "redistricting" has also been part how politicians game the electoral map and thus try to subvert the system. Frankly, I find nothing wrong with both sides trying to keep the other honest. If this group finds evidence of voter tampering, etc., the responsible thing to do would be to point it out and work to correct it. But that goes for both sides of the political divide.
 
what were those lyrics again?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
 
Wasn't Governor Gerry of mandering infamy a Republican?

What? You assume that all prisoners are black thugs? Racism much? Anyway, you're missing the point. Nobody said anything about "black thug" prisoners voting. We're talking about people who have served their time. Do they not get to exercise their constitutional right to vote just because they were once in prison? They paid their dues. Why should they have to wait 5 years before they can vote?

Except than when a Conservative is found in questionable election activities it's an isolated case.

When is a Liberal it's wide spread organized and can end involving an entire machine such as ACORN, SEIU, and list goes on all the way to the top of the DNC who put out false talking points, and well planted lies, and propaganda in attempts to deceive, as well as fake Tea Party Candidates.

So lighten up the self nonsense righteousness of throwing all Conservatives under the bus, for the transgressions of a few, it they are even real.
