\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019d be crazy not to be alarmed at this. Let\u2019s look at their turnout again. Let\u2019s get back to that. There is no enthusiasm on the Democrat side. There\u2019s no enthusiasm for Hillary, certainly.<\/p>\n

You might be able to say there\u2019s some enthusiasm for Bernie Sanders, but it\u2019s not showing up in turnout. You might have a bunch of rabble-rousers showing up at Bernie Sanders appearances, but the turnout on the Democrat side is near record lows. That means there is no energy. There is no excitement. There is no immediacy. There\u2019s no desire to continue whatever it is Obama has done. Nobody is happy. Nobody actually wants any more of this. The Democrats campaigning have to promise more of it.<\/p>\n


\nBut even if you listen to Hillary and Bernie, they\u2019re ripping Obamacare. They\u2019re ripping everything that\u2019s happened here as though the Republicans are to blame for it. But they\u2019re not touting it. They are not praising any of it. They\u2019re not saying, “Elect me to continue it.” They\u2019re still saying, “Elect me to fix it,” after they\u2019ve been in charge of whatever it is, everything, for 7-1\/2 years now! So I saw this story at the Huffing and Puffington Post. I missed it originally. March 3rd: “Fewer Democrats Are Voting This Year in (Surprise!) States with Strict New Voter Laws — But Republicans don\u2019t appear to be hurt<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not good for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. “As voting rights advocates predicted loud and often, new voter ID laws seem to be hitting Democrats harder than Republicans. GOP voter turnout in this year\u2019s presidential race is up 62% relative to 2008… But Democratic voter turnout is down by 29%…” Do you realize what that range adds to up? That adds up to 89% differential in voter turnout. “Evidence suggests that new voting restrictions are at least a contributing factor. Eight out of the 16 states that have held primaries or caucuses so far have implemented new voter ID or other restrictive voting laws since 2010.”<\/p>\n

See? You know what really is happening here? I\u2019m sure you could figure this out. If voter ID laws are to explain for low Democrat turnout, it has to mean that the fraud and cheating has been nipped in the bud. That\u2019s all it can mean. All voter ID laws do is identify the voter and confirm the voter is who he says he is. That\u2019s all it is. Now, to the Democrat Party, that\u2019s a scandal. To the Democrat Party, that is something that they opposed. Photo IDs, official IDs of any kind, they fought them. They\u2019ve gone to court over them. Why?<\/p>\n

Because I think at the end of all of this, this country is not dominated by a majority number of Democrats. There\u2019s only one reason to oppose voter ID laws. And again, all a voter ID law is is a means by which you prove that a voter is who he or she says he is. Voter ID laws are not used to discriminate against people, but that\u2019s what the Democrats tell their voters. The Democrats say, “You can\u2019t trust these people! You go down, get your picture taken, and they\u2019re just setting you up to be put in jail,” or whatever kind of scare tactic they use. It\u2019s absurd.<\/p>\n

And yet they have gone to the end of the earth to try to stop these, and there can only be one reason why, and that is because they know they have been getting away with people voting multiple times, and they can\u2019t get away with that with voter ID requirements or laws, and the end result is that we find out there really are fewer Democrat voters than we have been led to believe by virtue of election results for years. There is no intellectual reason to oppose voter ID laws, when you have to have an ID for virtually everything else. You can\u2019t get on an airplane, for example.<\/p>\n


\nYou can\u2019t make a purchase with a credit card. You can\u2019t get a credit card. You can\u2019t do 90% of the things you do, that you need to do to transact business without an official ID in this country, and yet when it comes to voting, the Democrat Party says, “No, no, no! Tsk-tsk-tsk! No way.” Why? There\u2019s only one possible answer. Now, I know what the Reverend Jackson says and others. They go and they panic minorities, and what they tell them is, “Don\u2019t like you dare go down there and get your photo taken! Don\u2019t you dare go down and get a photo ID!<\/p>\n

“All they\u2019re doing is trying to find out who you are so they can deny you your welfare check. All they\u2019re trying to do is find out where you are and who you are so they can deny you pension or whatever it is,” and they scared the bejeezus out of them with a crock of garbage that is all made up and lies. This is one of the simplest things to understand in the world. You need an ID to prove who you are when you vote. If a party makes a federal case opposing that, they have to be engaging in widespread fraud that official voter ID requirements would catch. So now here we are with Democrat voter turnout plummeting, coinciding with new voter ID law in a number of states.<\/p>\n

Well, 1 + 1 = 2 here, folks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to understand what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
