quote:

The New York State Democratic Committee is bullying people into voting next week with intimidating letters warning that it can easily find out which slackers fail to cast a ballot next Tuesday.

“Who you vote for is your secret. But whether or not you vote is public record,” the letter says.

“We will be reviewing voting records .. to determine whether you joined your neighbors who voted in 2014.”

“If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.”

Vote or else. Mafia politics

Holy cow, lol!

But maybe the threat will make the recipients mad enough to grow a backbone and take a good look at the kind of people they've been supporting.

Or maybe not.

Now compare this story to the one in Ohio (?) a few years back about a series of billboards reminding people that vote fraud is a punishable crime. Remember how all the libs got up in arms about that one?

I can't wait to hear the excuses for their hypocrisy.

That sounds like a very aggressive form of voter shaming, NC Dems are doing it too.

I got a very similar card in the mail a couple of days ago and I'm in Louisiana. I just remember that it said your voting record is public record in big bold letters.

“If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.

and "we get what we want!"


Dems sense of entitlement never fails them..


It's a good question as to if they are actually threatening or if they're just too stupid to realize what they are saying. I love to tell pieces of sh*t like that why it's not their business what I do.

A form of this has shown up in Iowa too, but claims that it was the Iowa GOP behind it.


It seems way too close to what is happening elsewhere to be a coincidence. I hate to go tinfoil hat but it sure sounded like a fals flag by the Braley camp considering how he is floundering.

And they sent a separate "report card" showing the voter's record to prove they kept up with who voted. Unbelievable.

so the underlying message is "don't vote, get yer obamacare/obomberphone/food card canceled"... sounds like what a worthless corrupt and desperate Demonrat would like to do.

Damn! What kind of person would respond positively to a threat like that? It seems like it would make most people want to go down to Dem headquarters and shove that letter up somebody's arse.

I like the underlying intent of these which is to get more people to vote, but the wording used in them leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't take it as a threat were I to get one, but I can see how some would.

How on Earth did this sound like a good idea to the people behind mailing those things out?
