Pelosi: "Repubs going after Holder because he's trying to overturn voter suppression"
Brent Baier reports that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has a novel spin on the confrontation between congressional Republicans and Eric Holder over his refusal to turn over documents requested by the House Government Oversight Committee:
According to Pelosi, the real reason Republicans are going after Holder is because he's "trying to overturn voter suppression in the states."
Of course liberals will quickly point out that Baier works for Fox News, so everything he reports must be a lie !! So to demolish this "defense," here's video of Nancy making exactly that claim. The charge is at 1:15.
For anyone who's been paying attention, Nancy's charge is clearly a load of crap, only believable by Democrats. But just for fun, let's explore her claim. What "voter suppression" is she referring to?
Could it be the efforts being made by a dozen states to purge voter registration rolls of illegal aliens and dead people? Does Nancy really think that's "voter suppression"? Guess that doesn't matter much--other than the hypocrisy--because her statement shows that regardless of whether she really believes it, she's trying to get you to believe it.
Why do you think a state would want to ensure that illegal aliens and the dead are removed from registration rolls? Could it be to ensure that no one illegally votes by claiming to be someone who's registered but dead? Or to ensure that only citizens are voting?
Wait, that couldn't be the reason, because that could easily be solved by just requiring everyone wanting to vote to have authenticatable photo ID. Oh, wait, that's right: Eric Holder's DOJ has sued to *prohibit* states from requiring photo ID to vote!
Seeing a pattern here? Top Democrat officeholders don't want states to clean up registration rolls, and are suing to block voter ID--both of which allow an unknown number of people to cast illegal votes.
Who would benefit from such a scheme?
