Chris Christie Nixes 1.6 Million New Voters by Vetoing Democracy Act
Color America surprised: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie today vetoed legislation, the Democracy Act, that would have added 1.6 million voters through automatic voter registration. The Times of Trenton Editorial Board called the Democracy Act, which was passed by the State Senate at the end of June, a light in the darkness, an overhaul which would usher in a new day in New Jersey, ensuring a more robust democracy by broadening access to the polls.
Well. We cant have that: No Republican likes to hear there will be more voters, because more voters means more votes against.
Christie understands that as well as anyone, and so, employing typically sordid Repubican logic, he said, as his excuse back in June, In New Jersey, we have early voting that are available to people. I dont want to expand it and increase the opportunities for fraud.
Right. Because there is virtually no fraud now, if you add voters, you will suddenly become inundated with fraud. Given how fraudulent Christie has already been proven to be (e.g. Bridgegate), this sort of comment should raise some eyebrows. Does he seriously expect anyone to believe him?
