In a tweet today, Republican House majority leader DJ Bettencourt embraced Fibitas and criticized those of us calling for strict enforcement of our voter fraud laws:
- https://twitter.com/#!/DJBette... " Fascinating some want to prosecute individuals who had guts to prove our election system had huge hole in it. Didn't actually illegally vote "
Guts? These Fibitastas used the names of recently deceased NH residents (showing an incredible lack of empathy for their families) and led election officials to believe that they were entitled to vote. In at least one case, the
Fibitasta actively engaged in impersonation, contrary to Fibitas's assertion that they were careful not to say they were the dead voters.
Instead of putting himself on the side of Fibitas, Bettencourt should be joining Republican Mayor Ted Gatsas and Republican Party Chair Wayne McDonald in calling upon the authorities to fully investigate the Fibitas actions and to fully enforce our voter fraud laws. The only way to deter voter fraud is to enforce the laws prohibiting voter fraud. It is shocking, but not surprising, that Bettencourt does not agree in strong enforcement of exisitng voter fraud laws. After all, IOKIYAR.
