Banana Republicans Still Shredding the Constitution

In an action one would more generally expect from dead-enders struggling against a fledgling democracy still in the uneasy early transitional stages from dictatorship, a Republican-funded group has allegedly been systematically destroying democratic voter registration cards.

According to the New York Times and numerous other sources, a former employee of the group, Voters Outreach of America, “has come forward to say that he saw the company, which was being paid by the Republican National Committee, destroy Democrats' registration forms in Nevada, while it was handing in forms filled out by Republicans.”

Thousands of democrats who registered in good faith with the GOP outfit may very well show up at the polls on November 2 to find themselves effectively disenfranchised. The action by Voters Outreach of America, if true, is likely a felony, while illegal disenfranchisement is a violation of American constitutional rights.

It may be time for a new, revised and updated House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Better dead than red?
