The first GOP Primary Debate is
coming up. We know that questions relating to factual records rather than fluffed talking points will most
likely be few and far between, but what if ….
MODERATOR: As you know, Republican Supreme Court
justices, recently, invalidated key provisions within the Voting Rights Act.
Being known as strong proponents
of the Constitution particularly as it pertains to Republican-led states’ guns
everywhere laws, what is your record
on preserving the Constitutional right to vote?
Try not to refer to the scripts
of Libertarian and Republican backed
organizations that have been accused of helping to spread talking points and draft legislation to prevent low-income
families, students, seniors and minorities from voting.
Also, keep in mind that a study
based on statistical data from the US Election Assistance Commission, the
Department of Justice and the Brennan Center for Justice reflects that out of 197
million votes cast for federal candidates between 2002 and 2005, only 40 voters
were indicted for voter fraud, and only 26 of those cases, or about .00000013 percent of the votes cast,
resulted in convictions or guilty pleas.
SCOTT WALKER: As Governor, I’ve
raised quite a bit of money campaigning for voter suppression legislation by my
state legislature.
TED CRUZ: As a US Senator I
called for the repeal of a provision protecting minority voters from
discrimination and I introduced federal legislation requiring voters to present
“proof of citizenship” before voting.
MIKE HUCKABEE: As a well-known right wing propaganda specialist, I’ve used a variety of media outlets to suggest deflating peoples’ tires to block them from voting and I supported voted ID laws that would make voting more difficult for minorities.
MIKE HUCKABEE: As a well-known right wing propaganda specialist, I’ve used a variety of media outlets to suggest deflating peoples’ tires to block them from voting and I supported voted ID laws that would make voting more difficult for minorities.
LINDSEY GRAHAM: As a US Senator, I supported stricter federal voter ID laws, and I didn't hesitate to praise conservative Supreme Court justices' successful move to strike down a key portion of the Voting Rights Act.
RICK PERRY: As Governor, I was all for my Republican-led legislatures' law to institute stricter photo ID laws that low income families, students, seniors and minorities couldn't afford to meet. Unfortunately, the Department of Justice struck down our Jim Crow poll tax initiative before we could institute it.
MARCO RUBIO: As a congressional
lawmaker, I’ve supported voter ID laws that would make voting more difficult,
and as a state representative, I voted in favor of a bill that restricted the
hours and locations for early voting,
CHRIS CHRISTIE: As Governor, I
opposed same day voter registration and vetoed legislation that would have
expanded opportunities for early voting.
TED CRUZ: Since I was elected to
Congress, I called for the repeal of a provision protecting minority voters
from discrimination.
JOHN KASICH: While I was Governor,
I supported a “breathtaking bid” to suppress voting.
RICK SANTORUM: As I’ve previously
stated, maybe it wasn’t bad that the founding fathers restricted the right to
vote.
LINDSEY GRAHAM: As a US Senator,
I’ve always supported stricter federal voter ID laws despite the fact that .00000013 percent of instances of voter fraud had nothing to do with whether or not voters presented ID's at the polls.
RAND PAUL: I always support voter
protections while speaking to minority groups on the campaign trail, but I never endorsed voter protection
legislation where it matters in Congress.
BOBBY JINDAL: As Governor, I’ve
been sued by the NAACP for blocking reforms to discriminatory voting
systems. As a matter of fact my entire
administration was forced to go to court over violating the National Voter Registration Act. Top that!
JEB BUSH: You bet! While I was Governor, my administration purged
12,000 eligible voters from the Florida voter rolls ahead of the 2000
presidential election resulting in the conservative-leaning Supreme Court selecting my brother to be President of
the United States!
MODERATOR: Mr. Trump, You’ve been, surprisingly, silent on this
issue. Do you have anything to add?
DONALD TRUMP: Where’s the birth certificate?
