Indeed, in a column for right-wing clearinghouse WorldNetDaily, longtime conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly acknowledged as much with a defense of North Carolinas new voting law, which has been criticized for its restrictions on access, among other things. Heres Schlafly:
The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obamas ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obamas national field director admitted, shortly before last years election, that early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election.
The Obama technocrats have developed an efficient system of identifying prospective Obama voters and then nagging them (some might say harassing them) until they actually vote. It may take several days to accomplish this, so early voting is an essential component of the Democrats get-out-the-vote campaign.
She later adds that early voting violates the spirit of the Constitution and facilitates illegal votes that cancel out the votes of honest Americans. Im not sure what she means by illegal votes, but it sounds an awful lot like voting by Democratic constituencies: students, low-income people, and minorities.
