Alabama had never seen a republican elected to a seat on the highest court of the State, but Perry Hooper, Sr., who had been a probate judge, a circuit court judge, & a popular republican politician for decades attempted it because of 3 key issues–reform of the out of control plaintiff damage situation in Alabama, an attempt to unconstitutionally pack appellate courts, & a trial court takeover of the state-run education system.
Before he was a U.S. Senator, Jeff Sessions was Attorney General of Alabama. He saw vote fraud up-close, & his office prosecuted voter fraud in Alabama. Most of it was committed against blacks who were denied the vote, intimidated financially, & personally harassed by their own communities & black leaders. Even though people like Rep. John Lewis fought against white racism for the vote, that does not prevent some blacks from committing voter fraud against other blacks. Anyone who tells you there’s no vote fraud in the U.S. is either ignorant or wants to commit the fraud.
To understand the importance of voter ID laws, the need to verify absentee ballots, & to secure electronic voting, read this account. Vote fraud can occur many ways. In this election, people walked in a voting station and found out they had already voted. Someone had gotten their name off the registration list & shown up to vote before they did in their name. Some used intimidation. They threatened people to vote a certain way & if they didn’t, they stole their check from social security.
Absentee ballots were prepared by assembly line when Sessions was Attorney General. The law required an absentee ballot be notarized or witnessed by 2 people. Therefore, to create absentee ballots, all you needed was the voter registration list & 3 people. One pretended to be a voter, then that person could hand the absentee ballot to the other 2 to sign as witnesses. These events often occurred in majority black counties. In 1 county in Alabama, it was recently reported that more people voted than resided in the county. Interestingly, in AL, it seems that where the democrats controlled local politics, more fraud occurred.
Can you believe that lawyers, who are officers of the court, could use the courtroom to “fix” (really “steal”) an election? It happened here. At least, they tried to “fix” the election. It shows something about lawyers & how some view court as their personal playground, their venue for changing the legal system into their own image & for their own purposes. All they need is a sympathetic judge or justices. This is a weak area in the judicial system, when lawyers & judges can skirt the democratic process & get laws changed contrary to what the people & their constitutions allow. This is judicial activism, aka, judges acting like legislators. This is the liberal or “living constitution.” They call the constitution “living,” so that they can kill it. Because this is contrary to the separation of powers into three branches–legislative, executive, judicial, this is what the founders called the basis of tyranny–combining two branches into 1.
This was demonstrated in 1 historic election. Read it & never view an election the same way again!
