17. How about "Crosscheck"?
Thu Dec 8, 2016, 05:28 PM
Dec 2016

..The GOP program conceived by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, which may well have kept millions of Democrats from being able to cast their ballots last month.

"The Interstate Voter Registration Program is ostensibly designed to target a virtually nonexistent form of voter fraud.
In reality, it helps promote the Right Wing's bogus voter fraud narrative, which in turn provides justification for otherwise unjustifiable laws that restrict voting."

(From 2014)
"Will SEVEN MILLION people be prevented from voting this Tuesday?"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025740558
(From this article)
"Election officials in 27 states..have launched a program that threatens a massive purge of voters from the rolls.
Millions, especially black, Hispanic, and Asian-Americans are at risk.
At the heart of this voter-roll scrub is the Interstate Crosscheck program, which has generated a master list of nearly 7 million names."


If Kobach's "Crosscheck" voter suppression program isn't actually a
"voter fraud" scheme to prevent blacks, Hispanics & other minorities from being able to exercise their constitutional right to vote, then what is?
