What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on The National Center for Public Policy Research-On July 7, 2011:
“Washington, D.C. - Black activists with the Project 21 leadership network are disappointed that former president Bill Clinton chose to become the latest liberal luminary to sully his credibility by likening state-level voter protection rules to segregationist Jim Crow laws of the past.
”It’s hard not to ignore the deep historical ignorance in President Clinton comparing voter protection statutes to Jim Crow, and it leaves me deeply disappointed,” said Project 21 spokesman Jerome Hudson.
“Clinton diminishes himself by engaging in this brand of gutter politics. It’s one thing to dispute a state’s legislative attempts to preserve voter integrity, but Clinton crossed the line in his crusade to paint lawmakers concerned about vote suppression through fraud as racists and segregationists. It’s despicable and deplorable.”
At a July 6 address to the left-wing group Campus Progress, President Clinton railed against some of the existing ballot security measures currently enforced in 30 states, alleging that they are meant to prevent young people and minorities from voting. Clinton said:
“There has never been in my lifetime, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the voter Jim Crow burdens on voting, the determined effort to limit a franchise that we see today.”
President Clinton’s comments follow a similar allegation made in June by Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, that state rules meant to combat the suppression of legitimate votes through identity fraud at the polls are an effort “to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws.”
After criticism from Project 21 and others, Wasserman Schultz later admitted that “Jim Crow was the wrong analogy to use.”
Nonetheless, President Clinton chose to use the same analogy to defame state ballot protection laws that most often accommodate provisional ballots and affidavit affirmations of identity for instances in which someone seeking to vote cannot provide any of the many accepted forms of identification. Jim Crow laws, to the contrary, were purposefully meant to deprive blacks of any access to voting.
”It is unfortunate that a past President of the United States would stoop so low as to use the same tired talking points that the leader of his political party was already widely criticized for using and later retracted,” noted Project 21 spokesman Coby W. Dillard.
“Liberals are reintroducing the sins of the past in a disingenuous appeal for political support. That those sins are all they have to turn to shows that their nationally-rejected agenda — raising taxes, forcing an unconstitutional healthcare mandate on Americans and driving energy prices higher to promote an environmental agenda supported by their benefactors — is lost.”

I. Senators Seek to Stymie Polling Place Protections!
Posted on The National Center For Public Policy Research-On July 1, 2011:
“Washington, D.C. - An effort by 16 U.S. Senators that may compromise state-level photo ID requirements enacted to protect the integrity of the voting process is being protested by leaders of the Project 21 black leadership network.
In a June 29 letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, 16 liberal senators asked for federal intervention to "scrutinize" state laws requiring photo ID as proof of identity at polling places. The senators claim this effort to prevent vote suppression through identity fraud could discriminate against "protected classes" and take America "in the wrong direction."
"The 16 Democratic senators who signed this letter to the Justice Department should spend some time on a real issue, such as preventing America from spending and borrowing itself into a Greek-style debt crisis," said Project 21 spokesman Deroy Murdock.
"Instead, they repeat the usual racist nonsense that blacks and other minorities are too weak and pathetic to present photo ID cards at the polls. If this is true, may I please leave my driver's license at home when I go for a ride? And, when I fly a on plane, may I please tell the TSA that I am too lame to have a photo ID card — plus, I am black — so just let me on the jet?"
"Voter identification is about the integrity of our political process and has nothing to do with race. Providing a valid photo ID safeguards our electoral process against vote fraud," said Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli.
"A government-issued photo ID is required for a myriad of daily transactions such as proof of age and personal identification. In the 21st century, claims making this a racial issue are utter nonsense."
In fact, many states with photo ID requirements do not limit acceptable forms of photo ID to government-issued ID such as driver's licenses. Provisional ballots or voting after signing an affidavit asserting one's identity are also often offered as a remedy for those not bringing a valid photo ID with them to vote.
"The sheer level of profound ignorance has me stumped," said Project 21 spokesman Jerome Hudson.
"People need photo ID to drive a car, enter a Sam's Club and get a free birthday burrito at Moe's Southwest Grill. For a senator, whose job relies on the integrity of the electoral process, to want to water down ballot safety is unbelievable and somewhat sinister."
The senators who signed the letter to Holder include Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Mark Begich (D-AK), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Herb Kohl (D-WI), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Patty Murray (D-WA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Jean Shaheen (D-NH), Tom Udall (D-NM) and Ron Wyden (D-OR).”
