Harry Reid Accuses Arizona of Racist Voter Suppression
Throughout the 2012 election cycle, if one Democratic senator could be counted on to make intemperate accusations, it was none other than Nevada Senator Harry Reid. Now that the election is over, the trend doesn’t seem to be changing.
According to The Hill, Reid has turned a relatively routine demand – that Arizona finalize its total vote sooner rather than later – into a none-too-subtle accusation of racism on the part of the state, especially towards its Latino population:
In all, 1.8 million votes were cast in the state. Reid said he is concerned that nearly one-third of Arizona’s votes — including 350,000 from Maricopa County, which is home to Phoenix — remain unaccounted for.
“All of the votes in Arizona must be counted promptly, accurately and equally. The uncounted votes in Maricopa County alone represent a major portion of the total votes cast in Arizona on Tuesday,” Reid said in a statement.
Reid alluded to potential abuse of minority voters.
[...]
“In light of the Supreme Court’s decision to hear challenges to the Voting Rights Act, [which protects minority voters,] we are reminded that the right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. That right is not secure when some votes are counted while others are suppressed or ignored. I expect state and local officials in Arizona to ensure that every vote is counted promptly, accurately and equally,” Reid said.
It’s a serious and indeed quite forceful accusation. And, like Reid’s accusation that former GOP nominee Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes for a decade, it comes without any supporting evidence whatsoever. One wonders why Reid bothers with such statements, unless he simply enjoys angering people who disagree with him.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 8:46pmRacist voter suppression? Harry Reid is a loony bin. How about this, did you hear the one about DC Councilman Marion Barry giving away free turkeys, but those receiving them have to have a PHOTO ID to prove they live in Ward 8. Need a photo ID for free turkeys, but when it comes to something so trivial as electing the President of the United States, no ID is needed. Go figure:

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 12:20pmNevada 2010 election should have been investigated for several voting ‘irregularities’ and outright corruption. When no one for the GOP challenged any of the reports from Nevada during their early voting or the day of the election up to the point where they had a mysterious power outage we should have known how 2013 elections would have gone.
Apparently, some one in AZ government failed to follow through with the rampant fraud that occurred across the country on Tues–specifically in the battleground states.
If anyone believes what happened on Tues was in any way shape or form real, then math wasn’t their strong suit in school. It was not only designed to retain power, but also to devised us an make us feel small and alone–from BOTH sides of the aisle. The progressives were NOT going to let go of power.
BTW-I voted in AZ and had to drive back to my house for my current DL, they would not let me use my expired state ID and current voter ID that I accidentally brought w/ the correct address and name.
I am single and white and was happy as heck at how strict they were and drove home w/ pleasure and some hope that there would be some sense fairness here in AZ.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 6:52pmI remember when Reid went after Rush Limbaugh to get him fired from his radio show. Reid had a letter drafted to the station’s owner, and had it signed by most of the sitting democrat senators…Hilary Clinton included. Unfazed, the station’s owner gave the letter to Rush as a gift, and Rush had it listed on Ebay to be auctioned off for charity. Rush would contribute whatever the winning amount ended up to be. When news of this attempt of the Liberal senators had backfired on them, and Rush had in essence made a fool of them, Harry Reid with a straight face mind you, lied to the camera. When asked about the great backfire, he took credit for the great charity “Rush Limbaugh and he” had just helped. I think it was Wounded Warriors, but I can’t remember the details…sorry. Reid has no shame. I think that explains it all.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 1:22pmHarry Reid is a enemy of State, and I’m not just referring to Arizona. There’s good reason for so many citizens across this nation to dislike this man, he does not have America’s best interest at heart, but his own. Harry has prospered from big government over the years and truly believes in it’s success by the size of his bank account. Problem is, he steals from his fellow citizens to achieve success, he’s hasn’t earned anything, including our respect.
