Republicans Narrow Voter Registration Gap In Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania

September 03, 2016 North Carolina , Pennsylvania 0 Comments


By Washington Post, Aug 29, 2016 

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton is enjoying a strong summer but her party's voter registration advantage is shrinking in three battleground states that could decide the election, according to a CNN analysis of newly released registration data.

With 10 weeks to go, Clinton is favored in CNN's latest Electoral College map. And there are still more registered Democrats than Republicans in Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. But the GOP has improved its position in all three states by adding hundreds of thousands of voters to the rolls.

March 16, 2016 Florida , North Carolina 0 Comments


By Patrick Reis, March 15, 2016 Politico

Hillary Clinton trounced Bernie Sanders in the key states of Florida and Ohio on Tuesday night, pulling away in the delegate race and delivering a full-throated call to arms against Donald Trump in her victory speech.
The former secretary of state appeared to be on the verge of a clean sweep of the five contests of the night. She also scored victories in North Carolina and Illinois. In the fifth state, Missouri, Clinton was leading by about 1,500 votes with all but two precincts reporting early Wednesday morning.

Triple Frown Clay Aiken Loses Again

Kaitlan Collins, Nov. 4, 2014, Daily Caller

Clay Aiken ran against Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers for a House seat in North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District, and the “American Idol” runner-up ended up in second place for the third time.

The openly gay, relatively liberal Broadway singer, born in Raleigh, decided he wanted to run for Congress in the conservative district in February, though he lacked political experience.

Thought voter fraud was imaginary

James O'Keefe Exposes Blatant Voter Fraud In North Carolina (VIDEO)

Project Veritas Action, Oct. 30, 2014, YouTube 



 A stunning undercover video exposes a reckless disregard of election law in North Carolina. Multiple campaign operatives and workers, both democrats and republicans, encourage felony voter fraud.

 A Project Veritas Action operative poses as an enthusiastic wanna-be voter, who also happens to be a non U. S. citizen. When she asks campaign managers and other campaign operatives if it is okay if she votes they all say yes, no problem.

Greg Amick, Campaign Manager for Mecklenburg County Sheriff hopeful Irwin Carmichael, says, ‘it shouldn’t be an issue at all.” Martin Kelly, the father of Superior Court Judge candidate David Kelly adds, “If they registered her, then she can’t get in trouble. All they can do is say no. They can’t do anything else.”

NC Restaurant With "No Weapons" Sign Robbed at Gunpoint --Hello, Chipotle...is this thing on?

May 22, 2014 Chipotle , Christine Rousselle 1 Comments

North Carolina restaurant The Pit was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday. Normally, local crime stories like this wouldn't merit a Townhall post, but this one is different: The Pit has a "no weapons" sign displayed prominently on its door declaring the restaurant a gun-free zone, and bans patrons from carrying concealed weapons.

Authorities said just before 9 p.m. Sunday, three men wearing hoodies entered the restaurant through the back doors with pistols, and forced several staff members to lie on the floor.

The bandits assaulted two employees during the crime, but they were not seriously injured.

What groups like Everytown for Gun Safety or Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America seem to have an issue grasping is that criminals have no respect for the law by nature of being criminals. Criminals aren't going to be stopped by a "no guns allowed" sign. If somebody is going to rob or shoot up a Chipotle, for instance, they're not going to care that they cannot (or have been politely asked not to) bring a gun onto the premises. Criminals are not going to submit to background checks. They'll use straw purchases or just buy a gun from an illegal source. All these policies and laws do is make it harder for legal gun owners to protect themselves.

While I am thankful nobody was hurt, this certainly harms the narrative that "gun free" places are safe places.

CBS Money Watch: "Boom In Smuggling--Avoids Cig Taxes"--Tax high and people seek options-- as Harvey Weinstein can tell you

March 21, 2014 American Lung Association , CBS Money Watch 0 Comments

More than half of the cigarettes sold in New York State are smuggled in from other places to avoid the Empire State's taxes on smokes, which have soared nearly 200 percent since 2006, according to a report issued by the conservative Tax Foundation.
New York is the highest net importer of smuggled cigarettes -- illegal smokes account for 56.9 percent of the state's total market. New York's cigarettes tax is $4.35 per pack, the country's highest. The situation there isn't unique. The Tax Foundation also cites a study that found that 58.7 percent of discarded cigarettes found in five Northeastern cities lacked proper tax stamps.
Taxes on cigarettes, which are designed to discourage smoking, vary widely. States such as Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia have levies of less than a $1 per pack. These wide differences make smuggling "both a national problem and a lucrative criminal enterprise," according to the Tax Foundation. 
Antismoking activists have long argued that fewer people will buy cigarettes if they're expensive. Chicago recently raised its cigarette taxes for that reason. Combined with state and local levies, the total is now $7.17 a pack.
The smuggling problem "is a lot smaller than the study lets on," said Thomas Carr, director of national policy at the American Lung Association, noting that the Tax Foundation's data come from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, which has received funding from the tobacco industry. "Tobacco companies are generally against higher tobacco taxes."
