Holy cow!
This has to be the mother of all registration drives. The criminally insane and mentally retarded
have flown the cuckoo’s nest in North Carolina and voted. Wendell Justice Williams murdered two people
in 1995. A judge found him not guilty
because he was insane; but apparently he’s sane enough to vote. I wonder who he voted for. Could it be Obama? Hmmm?
This isn’t just an isolated case. Apparently this is happening across the whole
state. Carolina Journal reported the
following:
Efforts to register
mental patients and residents of centers for the developmentally disabled have
taken place in recent months in several locations around the state.
Employees of the Murdoch Developmental Center, a state-run facility in Butner for the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled, recently registered 36 of the more than 500 residents to vote in what appears to have been a voter registration drive at the facility. In addition, some residents were checked out of the facility and transported to early voting centers to cast votes.
As of Oct. 30, eight of the center’s residents had voted in person at one of the two early voting sites in Granville County, Carolina Journal has learned. One of the sites is at the Creedmoor City Hall, four miles from the Murdoch Center. The residents voted at the early voting locations on five different days.
Registration activities also appear to have taken place at two other centers serving those with extreme developmental disabilities — the Riddle Developmental Center in Morganton and the Caswell Developmental Center in Kinston.
And what law allows the
criminally insane and mentally disabled to vote? Why it’s the same one that allowed illegal
aliens to register to vote:Employees of the Murdoch Developmental Center, a state-run facility in Butner for the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled, recently registered 36 of the more than 500 residents to vote in what appears to have been a voter registration drive at the facility.

The National Voter
Registration Act of 1993
A July 2009 guide to disability rights laws published by the U.S. Department of Justice includes a section on the NVRA, aka the Motor Voter Act. “One of the basic purposes of the act is to increase the historically low registration rates of minorities and persons with disabilities that have resulted from discrimination,” the guide says. “The Motor Voter Act requires all offices of state-funded programs that are primarily engaged in providing services to persons with disabilities to provide all program applicants with voter registration forms, to assist them in completing the forms, and to transmit completed forms to the appropriate State official.”
I’m reminded of the saying that the people get the government
they deserve. Considering what has
happened in the last four years, it looks like the inmates are running the
asylum.
