- "Voter suppression is subversion, and a party that
engages in voter suppression, the officials of that party who engage in
that and those who knowingly cooperate in that program, are guilty of a
crime, of violation of the Voters Rights Act, and they should be imprisoned
for the relevant period of time, and they should be squeezed for all its
worth."
-
- Washington, D.C. -- Those Republicans who engaged in
vote suppression around the Nov. 2 Presidential elections are guilty of
the crime of violation of the Federal Voting Rights Act and of the U.S.
Constitution, former Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche declared during
his Nov. 9 webcast discussion. LaRouche said that, "from a Constitutional
law standpoint, what was made was a not-so-cold coup d'etat against the
United States Constitution."
-
- "Voter suppression--that's tyranny!" LaRouche
charged. "That's dictatorship. ... What is pouring in, in terms of
evidence, day by day, is the evidence of a massive fraud by the Republican
Party, which amounts to practically a criminal conspiracy...."
-
- In response to a number of questions about the fraud
and irregularities in the elections, LaRouche said that the Republicans
had taken advantage of the fact that the Democratic Party had not mobilized
among the lower 80% of the population, instead still orienting toward the
suburban "swing" voters, as it has in recent elections. To defeat
the fraud being planned by the Republicans, required that the Democrats
organize a landslide, but only the forces around LaRouche and those working
with us, mobilized in this manner.
-
- But otherwise, the Democratic Party was the "sitting
duck party," LaRouche said, and was totally unprepared for the criminal
operations that the Republican Party was planning.
-
- The very fact of voter suppression is a violation of
the Voting Rights Act, LaRouche said, and we should go from that, to look
at the secondary crimes that were committed. Referring to Ohio Secretary
of State Kenneth Blackwell, LaRouche said that the Republicans "had
this guy, this so-called African-American ... saying he's in charge of
the vote suppression program!" LaRouche said that this is an admission
of a crime, adding: "It's a violation of Federal law, and I would
go after that because a coup was run against the American people and the
Constitution, by a violation of that law."
-
- LaRouche elaborated: "Voter suppression is subversion,
and a party that engages in voter suppression, the officials of that party
who engage in that and those who knowingly cooperate in that program, are
guilty of a crime, of violation of the Voters Rights Act, and they should
be imprisoned for the relevant period of time, and they should be squeezed
for all its worth. ...What we have to do is take the moral high ground
of authority, and say, well, you guys committed a crime. You allowed a
crime to go on, called vote suppression. You were trying every pretext
in the world to suppress the votes of people, known groups of people, and
you were targeting on a racialist and similar basis. It's a crime. And
I would say to these, let's start from the strong point that we have. We
have a lot of evidence of irregularities, a lot of evidence of corruption.
Things that could not have happened by accident. And therefore, let's start
with what we've got the goods on these guys for. They engaged in a systemic
voter suppression action. That had an effect on the vote. Therefore, you
guys are guilty of a crime! Say, good morning, judge."
