Sean Hannity has shocking news.
We’ve got to turn to a very shocking story. It should make your blood boil.
The story concerns voting rights in San Francisco.
They’re now spitting in the face of every single law-abiding American tonight.
The spitting in our faces, assuming that we are all law-abiding and American, actually does concern a serious issue. It seems San Francisco politicians are about to seriously dilute the votes of legitimate citizens by registering immigrants.
City officials are now permitting illegal immigrants, other non-citizens, to register to vote in November’s election.
That is outrageous.
I’m against voter suppression laws, including laws that make it disproportionately inconvenient for some citizens to vote. And I get kind of mad at efforts by Republicans to make it harder to vote for people without drivers’ licenses, even when they have other forms of identification.

The extreme fines and potential prison time may have been the reason one ran out of an election office chased by authorities. The conservative video had to be severely edited.
Harsh penalties work. Additional IDs do not. They only make voting harder for citizens who don’t already have them. That seems to be their purpose.
