First the Nuns and now the 97-Year-Olds

By Mary Mancini

Shirley Preiss Remember the nuns in Indiana that couldn’t vote in the primary because they didn’t have the proper ID according to the new Indiana Voter ID law? Skip over to Arizona for the latest: 97-year-old Shirley Preiss, who has voted in the past 19 presidential elections, is the casualty in the voter ID battle.

Preiss was born in 1910 in Clinton, Ky., before birth certificates were issued. She said she no longer has a driver’s license and never had a passport.

“You can see my mother’s not a national threat,” said her son Nathan Nemnich. “Been voting since 1932.” Nemnich produced the files documenting his attempts to get her registered.

“A delayed birth certificate,” he said. “You have to have witnesses. Everybody’s dead.”

Indiana. Arizona. Missouri. Kansas. Big states. Schwing states even. Lots of Electoral Votes. Hmmm…

    What ever happened to ‘we the people?’

    …all I’ve seen are eweeee ’sheeple’ without balls of a ram among them putting up with the tyranny allowed to go by unquestioned …’uncounted.’
    Democracy replaced by hypocrisy and the worse it gets. Will be hieling heavily to the increasing United ‘police’ States’ soon if the voters lists aren’t investigated and perpetrators brought to justice for faulty purges of potential citizens rights to participate. Is there any ‘rule of law’ that ‘the decider’ hasn’t already broken???

    What a joke, Amerika lauding and back slapping itself on the back for bringing [forcing] ‘freedom and democracy’ to foreign [invaded] lands, all the while it’s rulers carry out a corrupted political vote rigging and caging process at home through privileged greedy ‘neo-con’-nepotistic’ corporate hypocrites behind the entire election illusion practicing for the next one. How long are you going to take it America???
