Haley and cronies busted in (another) lie about “dead” voters
Weeks after the Department of Justice refused to approve South Carolina’s Voter ID law, Nikki Haley and her Republican cronies continue to look for ways to justify voter suppression.
In January, Haley appointee and DMV Director, Kevin Shwdeo told a legislative committee that over 900 dead people had voted. South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Dick Harpootlian, released the following statement and video in response to the litany of lies from the Haley and her appointees:
In a country where the freedom to vote has been paid for with the blood of American patriots, Republican Governor Nikki Haley continues to look for ways to interfere with the exercise of this fundamental right.
She has trotted out her Department of Motor Vehicles director to claim hundreds of dead people have voted in South Carolina elections but it’s just not true as confirmed by the South Carolina Election Commission.
If Nikki Haley can’t earn your vote, her solution is simple: you must be dead.

She can’t earn my vote..and didn’t BTW..and she or her cronies never will. Oh and I am not dead..I AM unemployed, not a drug user, taking care of a spouse with Alzheimer’s, living on Social Security, getting no other benefits whatsoever. Luckily I like beans and rice and hubby just dont care. But I burn the gas to go vote cuz I am sick of the sideshow that passes for SC politics. Lately I’m thinking Ravenel had the right idea to use drugs to make it all go away..he just had the wrong dealer.

There may be some truth to what Haley is saying. Though i imagine she is probably lumping the dead voters with all voting irregularities. i worked on a campaign where deceased had voted. There were also some vegetables who managed to vote absentee.
