Because the media allowed the voter fraud lie to continue without question, we’re now about to face an expansion of the entire voter fraud fantasy, by Newt Gingrich.
Since voter fraud is nonexistent, the following phony outrage should not be allowed to pass without serious media scrutiny. Fat chance. Keep in mind the most egregious attempts to fraudulently swing elections have originated from Republican operatives, not Democrats. This is all projection:
Newsmax: Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich blasted the Justice Department for blocking a South Carolina voter identification law and suggested the Obama administration wants to "steal elections” … the former House speaker questioned why Attorney General Eric Holder is "so determined not to identify if people are not eligible to vote"
Of course, that has never been a problem. It’s not just a dumb comment, it’s also a condescending lie.
Gingrich went on to say that, "you have to ask, why is it that they are desperate to retain the ability to steal elections and I think that's what it comes down to."
Ah, fear mongering the myth of voter fraud. If Newt is so willing to play on the paranoid fears of conservative voters like this, can you imagine the lengths he’d go to get his way as president?
And the media scrutiny of Newt’s voter fraud allegation and plot by the White House even in this story?
The Justice Department recently rejected South Carolina's law requiring voters to show photo ID at polling places as discriminatory against minorities. Republicans argue stricter voter ID laws are needed to avert voter fraud.
