WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New voting laws in 23 of the 50 states could keep more than 10 million Hispanic U.S. citizens from registering and voting, a new study said on Sunday, a number so large it could affect the outcome of the November 6 election.

The Latino community accounts for more than 10 percent of eligible voters nationally. But the share in some states is high enough that keeping Hispanic voters away from the polls could shift some hard-fought states from support for Democratic President Barack Obama and help his Republican rival, Mitt Romney.

The new laws include purges of people suspected of not being citizens in 16 states that unfairly target Latinos, the civil rights group Advancement Project said in the study to be formally released on Monday.

Laws in effect in one state and pending in two others require proof of citizenship for voter registration. That imposes onerous and sometimes expensive documentation requirements on voters, especially targeting naturalized American citizens, many of whom are Latino, the liberal group said.

Nine states have passed restrictive photo identification laws that impose costs in time and money for millions of Latinos who are citizens but do not yet have the required identification, it said.
Republican-led state legislatures have passed most of the new laws since the party won sweeping victories in state and local elections in 2010. They say the laws are meant to prevent voter fraud; critics say they are designed to reduce turnout among groups that typically back Democrats.

Decades of study have found virtually no use of false identification in U.S. elections or voting by non-citizens. Activists say the bigger problem in the United States, where most elections see turnout of well under 60 percent, is that eligible Americans do not bother to vote.

Nationwide, polls show Obama leading Romney among Hispanic voters by 70 percent to 30 percent or more, and winning that voting bloc by a large margin is seen as an important key to Obama winning re-election.

The Hispanic vote could be crucial in some of the battleground states where the election is especially close, such as Nevada, Colorado and Florida.

For example, in Florida, 27 percent of eligible voters are Hispanic. With polls showing Obama's re-election race against Romney very tight in the state, a smaller turnout by Hispanic groups that favor Obama could tilt the vote toward the Republican.

we shouldn't worry about the good of the country, we should worry about the illegals and whether they vote or not... democrats disgust me

Cool. Husseins illegals will have to count on kang shabitch to get them into the voting booths.

Did ya'll hear, Shabitch and his panzies plan on being out in force again to intimidate folks. But, that's another topic, sorry.

Summary: The George Soros-funded Advancement Project, a radical left-wing group, is colluding with several other progressive groups to block investigations of voter fraud. The mantra of the group, which is becoming a thorn in the side of the Republican Party, is that voter fraud is a myth made up by conservatives in order to disenfranchise the poor and minorities. But voter fraud is a serious problem that needs to be taken seriously.


Quite interesting!
Another Arm of the Octopus!

The Soros Connection
Two foundations established by George Soros direct major funding to the Advancement Project. The Open Society Institute has made grants totaling $3,925,000 since 1999 and the Foundation to Promote Open Society has given it $552,775 since 2009.

The Soros connection is worth greater scrutiny because the Advancement Project appears set to supersede Project Vote as the leading apologist for voter fraud in the 2012 elections. With Soros’s backing the Advancement Project is in a position to far outspend groups advocating voter integrity measures.

However, the Advancement Project has other major donors: they include the Ford Foundation ($5,266,000 since 2003), California Endowment ($2,638,212 since 2001), William & Flora Hewlett Foundation ($2,303,500 since 2001), Rockefeller Foundation ($2,150,000 since 2001), James Irvine Foundation ($1,650,000 since 2002), David & Lucile Packard Foundation ($1,230,000 since 2003), Tides Foundation ($875,540 since 2007), Charles Stewart Mott Foundation ($650,000 since 2001), and the Carnegie Corp. of New York ($584,000 since 2001).


much more at the link!

I found the story on Yahoo to sound like a Liberal cry to work against protecting us from Voter Fraud. It is kind of coincidental that the number given, 10 million is roughly the estimated number of illegal Hispanics in America alone. I have to say so far that all stories surrounding this are more of a Liberal Propaganda story more than news.

of course it is, democrats like stupid people that believe their bunk... thats why so many liberals fall for this crap...

And to think people actually think I am the stupid or crazy one!

One of the most well documented examples of large scale voter fraud (I posted the links before) was a system set up in south Texas by Lyndon Johnson. The system worked so well that it has been fine tuned and spread across states with large Latino populations. It buys votes for twenty bucks and depends on no photo voter ID to work. It concentrates on areas which are close and a few percentage points can tilt the election.

When people think of vote fraud in Texas what usually comes to mind first is Magical Box 13. As recounted in Robert Caro's Means of Ascent, in 1948, future president Lyndon Johnson was trailing six days after the election, and seemed certain to lose, when a protégé of George Parr, the "Duke of Duval" and political boss of the heavily Hispanic counties in southern Texas, "discovered" 200 allegedly uncounted ballots in Box 13, in Alice, Texas. These 200 "voters" cast their ballots 198 to 2 for Johnson, putting him over the top. As Caro writes, "the election of course was stolen".[1]

South Texas continues to be a hotbed of voter fraud, most prevalent in absentee ballots mailed in prior to elections. The state attorney general, Greg Abbott, has focused investigators on cases statewide, an effort funded by a $1.5 million federal grant.[2] [3]

Some observers trace the roots of modern mail-in ballot malfeasance to a patronage system in which ranch bosses in Mexico would reward workers with promotions in exchange for votes.[4]

The issue of voter fraud was politicized during a 2009 debate over whether to require photo identification at the polls. [5] State House opponents of the measure filibustered the voter ID bill, and were called into special legislative session to deal with issues such as transportation funding that had been set aside during the voter ID debate. [6][7] The voter ID plan did not pass.

Under the guise of "promoting democracy" we bomb, invade and bully other countries, while at home our leaders have no clue what it even means..... oh wait....I get it, such actions are their idea of democracy

As far as the OP..... Obozo is the only one who suffers losing the illegal and living dead vote!

Now there's a patriotic attitude.

the point, in my opinion, was to disenfranchise more than just 'illegals', but also the poor and struggling who dont have as easy an access to proper 'documentation'

at least they have been stopped at 'registration', and not been able to require people to reproduce that documentation at the polls,,,,,

leave it to George Soros!
He'll bring in Klingons to vote if his Boys are caught short!
