Well, At Least He Had a Photo ID

Finally, the Republican campaign to ferret out voter fraud in Indiana has struck pay dirt.

After claiming that voter fraud is a potentially huge problem necessitating "poll-tax-lite" in the form of photo IDs backed up by sometimes difficult-to-produce: birth records (the elderly, immigrants), residency records (college students). Then for those with no family available to provide transportation, and for those 85+ year old computer savvies who just wander through the maze of possibilities of the many ways one can exercise his or her Constitutional right to vote by linking here. After clearing all these hurdles and jumping through all these hoops, some may be able to exercise a right they may have fought for in foreign wars, or their fathers may have fought for, or their creator may have endowed to them as inalienable rights as one who sits atop the soil of the United States of America.

And now, finally the net has dragged in a fish. A White fish it seems. A fish named Charlie, to be exact. That fish happens to be the supreme arbiter of election laws in the state of Indiana.

Congratulations to Vop Osili the new and legal Secretary of State for the State of Indiana. He takes that post after a judge rules the Fish Named Charlie ineligible to serve.

CORRECTION & UPDATE

I was incorrect in saying that Vop Osili "takes that post" (Secretary of State).

Although ruled ineligible to hold the position by a judge, White is vowing to stay in office. A recent article is linkied here.

Like Indiana, Ohio is going to be a critical state for the election. I have a feeling Ohio will lean Republican but a lot of things can happen in the next 11 months.
