Holder Math Part 2: DOJ Lays Trap to Misrepresent South Carolina Voter Data

To understand the truly obscene nature of the fraud perpetrated by Obama's Justice Department on the state of South Carolina, you need to see the statistical trap that they've laid out. The DOJ is well aware that the numbers they are basing their decision about South Carolina's voter ID laws on are incorrect. By establishing the "Holder Math" standard that I described in part one of this series, when the correct numbers are acknowledged, the DOJ will be able to dishonestly claim the situation is actually even worse than before.

The Obama DOJ Ignores South Carolina's Correct Data

First, let's look at the data that the DOJ knows is incorrect.

The figures that the DOJ is basing their conclusion on was based on an initial report from South Carolina that 239,000 people were both registered voters and didn't have DMV-issued ID. The breakdown is that 10% of black registered voters and 8.4% of white voters don't have that type of ID. Even at a cursory glance, those numbers seem high. That's the ID you use to open a bank account, buy a beer, board an airplane or 100 other things.

Apparently South Carolina thought that the numbers seemed off, too. According to this eye-opening interview with South Carolina's Attorney General Wilson, the state did an audit and found that from that group of 239,000 included 37,000 people who were deceased, 96,000 who had moved to other states, and other discrepancies.

Wilson claims that the actual number of people without DMV-issued ID is actually about 27,000.  (It should be mentioned here as an aside that South Carolina has made extensive provisions for those people who don't have ID, including being able to get the ID free and even offering free rides). The Obama DOJ was informed about this other data and intentionally rushed through a decision based on the faulty data, another indication of their political agenda.

So the real number of people who are registered to vote and don't have a DMV-issued ID is actually a fraction of the numbers that the DOJ used. The DOJ was well aware of this, so they have a Holder Math ace in their sleeve; the smaller numbers will actually allow them to distort reality even further.

This is exactly the sort of semi-complex issue that citizens need the press to help them sort out. When the government perpetrates a sneaky fraud like this on the public, the people rely on the news media to expose it. As we'll see in the next part of this series, the media is providing cover for the Obama administration.

Eric Holder's Department of Injustice is at the center of yet another scandal. Imagine that, another hand-picked and heavily corrupt Obama conspirator. How's that Hope and Change working out America? Still think an invasive and socialist government is good for the populace, or have you learned that it only benefits those in charge at our expense?
