Bush Seeks More Control (over elections in FL- Jeb)

[Dirty Hippie]

n a move that would dramatically increase state control of elections, Gov. Jeb Bush and the state elections office will ask the Legislature for greater authority, including the ability to decide which voters should be purged from voting rolls.

The secretary of state, who is appointed by the governor, also would be given strong enforcement powers, including the authority to seek criminal charges and fines up to $5,000 against any of the state's 67 election supervisors - most of whom are elected - who fail to follow orders.

On Wednesday, the governor's office and the Department of State defended the measures, included in two separate bills, saying they would bring Florida into compliance with federal election laws and ensure that voters are treated uniformly across the state.

"This is just Florida continuing to look at ways to improve our election process," said Jacob DiPietre, a spokesman for Bush. "The secretary of state is the chief election official of the state and has an obligation and duty to enforce election laws."

3. They are doing it right out in the open

Only the Imperial Family should have controlover who gets to vote in Amerika.

The audacity of Totalitarian Rulers, they are sickening cowards when compared with the ever-shrinking Free World.

Totalitarians like the Bushes just shove it right in your face. "Your ass is MINE, your pathetic lttle "votes" are MINE the 'elections' will ALWAYS be a PARTY Victory. Gonna do it right in front of your face, Fodder Unit!"

At least they aren't killing and imprisoning us wholesale...yet.

We are one severe economic depression or two "terrorist" attacks away from it, I think.

And the Imperial Family is moving to make sure THEIR country (not ours, not the Fodder Units and Filthy Little Nobodies, that's for sure) is UNDER CONTROL when it happens.

4. Why don't they just get HONEST for once and say flat out; "we're FASCISTS

and we're not gonna bother with elections any more because we just fix any we do have, so why waste time & money."

At least then they'd be HONEST.
