The American Civil Responsibility Union has launched a new campaign called “Protect your Vote”, and are employing the persuasive talents of Herman Cain and Ken Blackwell in an effort to shine a spotlight on threats to Americans’ voting rights, and promote Voter ID laws.
They say the Obama administration has “launched an all-out war on voter ID laws” to bolster the president’s re-election chances and are simply asking Attorney General Holder to: keep America free:
“Protecting the integrity of the ballot box is essential to our democracy,” Blackwell says.
“Laws requiring voters to show identification at the polls are common-sense measures to prevent fraud and corruption and to ensure that each year’s election returns accurately reflect the will of the people.
“With the attack led by the Obama Justice Department on voter ID laws across this country, ACRU has decided to mount a counteroffensive to protect the integrity of ballot boxes all across our country.”
