Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz (R) has spent 18 months and
almost $150,000 fulfilling his promise to make “ballot security” a top
priority in Iowa.

To date, his investigation has yielded 5 guilty pleas and 5
dismissals.

Schultz is one of many Republicans who rode into office promising to
curtail the non-existent plague of fraudulent voting.

His critics claim that all he’s proven is that what little fraud
exists is statistically insignificant, but he told The Des Moines
Register that “[b]efore, the narrative was that there’s no such thing
as voter fraud. That’s obviously changed. Iowans expect us to do
something when we know there’s a problem.”

Schultz has claimed that there is “a lot” of voter fraud in Iowa, and
that his investigative team was sorting through a “mountain” of
evidence of it. The five guilty pleas that resulted from the
investigation do not constitute evidence of a systemic effort to
violate Iowans’ “sacred” voting privilege.

One woman, Beth Ann Gallagher, cast an absentee ballot on behalf of
her daughter, who had recently moved to Minnesota and thought she
wouldn’t be eligible to vote there. However, after she mailed the
ballot, her daughter texted her that she had been eligible to vote, at
which time Gallagher self-reported the incident to the Delaware County
auditor’s office. She plead guilty and paid a $147.75 fine.

A man, Terry Hambrick, registered via the Motor Voter Act while
attempting to steal his dead brother’s identity. Hambrick was trying
to acquire a driver’s license under the name of a brother who had died
of sudden infant death syndrome in 1991, and accidentally registered
to vote. He was caught not by Schultz’s probe, but after he was
arrested for drunk driving and law enforcement officials determined
that he was, in fact, Terry Hambrick.

Another man who pleaded guilty, Jason Rawlin, was also a victim of the
Motor Voter Act. Rawlin, a felon, was attempting to acquire a
nonoperator ID card, he registered to vote without realizing that he
attested to not being a felon. When he received a voter card in the
mail, he self-reported to authorities. Schultz initially charged
Rawlin with felony election misconduct, but he ultimately plead guilty
to misdemeanor fraudulent practices.

The two other guilty pleas were also from convicted felons, neither of
whom knew that their voting rights had not been restored. Five other
cases are currently pending.


Pretty compelling stuff, eh? 5 cases for all his time and $150,000 in
costs.

This is the trumped up bull**** that Republicans are using in hopes of
disenfranchising voters through ID laws. Funny thing is that it's
energizing voters to get to the polls who would otherwise be
complacent.

Thanks, assholes!

Why call names, jps, if you're getting energized voters out of it? Or, are you complaining about the
$150,000? Your boy just gave about six and a half thousand times that amount to Russia for
helicopters he could have had made right here! Where was your complaining?

And, I know you love these, so here's another reason to own a gun, and be able to use it:

"Injuries sustained to Anthony Wilson's face, torso, arms and legs were severe, but he was last
reported to be in good condition after he was attacked by two dogs in his neighborhood. The dogs
escaped from a yard early one afternoon and attacked 77-year-old Wilson. He tried to seek refuge
under a pickup truck with little success. The dogs snapped at his legs and continued to bite and
claw him, trying to drag him from the protection of the vehicle. A neighbor heard Wilson's cries for
help and responded quickly when he saw the dogs attacking. The neighbor retrieved a firearm and
attempted to scare the dogs away. But when the dogs then turned their attention to the neighbor, he
fired, killing both animals. (The Times-Tribune, Dunmore, PA, 7/3/13) "

Johnny Mop, you really get off on all the shootin' & killin', don't you?

Dumb guy with the gun, should have shot the dogs first off. Do not try to
scare them away. Any dog or dog pack attacking some person should be put
down quickly and permanently!

JohnnyMop is *my* selectee, to coin a word, for perpetrating a serious

I sure would be nervous standing anywhere near him when he has a loaded gun in his hands.

In certain situations that's the whole idea.

Apparently he bought himself a pocket pistol. He'd probably shoot his
balls off...if he had any.

Hey there, little Squirt Blossom!

How be ye today? I see you're displaying what courage you possess by callin' names and bein'
caustic. Just put your head back where it belongs, 'cause you ain't makin' any friends with your
continuous ****. Have you ever noticed that Harry seldom, if ever, answers your 'normal' posts, but
is right there patting your butt when you make one of these? Gosh, I wonder why? Waggle those ears
some more, Squirt!

Oh man, 'stuff your gun up your butt'...now what kind of talk is that? Is that part of your 'taking
the lead and dropping the name-calling and childish insults'? I'll bet you wish you'd never made
that statement, right? Or, is that talk just you display your 'courage from a thousand miles away',
like you do with Scotty. Of course, you play the coward when push comes to shove, don't you!

Now, go waggle those ears, see if you can entice your boy to make a comment!
