More shamelessness
Get-out-the-vote efforts targeted
Richard Shelby, Kit Bond, and others in the Senate want to block public housing projects from using any Federal funds on get-out-the-vote efforts, voter registration, or voter ID. It's pretty blatant partisanship to try to discourage black turnout. So more of the same.

"Why should the federal government use taxpayers' money to fund get-out-the-vote drives?" asked McCullars, who is chairman of the Elmore County Republican party. "(Republicans) do a lot of work to get voters registered and encourage voting, but I can't see using federal or state money for that."
Sure, why should the government pay for the voting process at all? New Rule: Elections will be privatized. Only communities that can afford to subsidize their own polling operations get to vote.
