If aliens ever visit earth in desperate need of a lesson in sarcasm, they need not look any further than “The Colbert Report.” His pompous right-wing conservative character is one of the finest and most effective examples of sarcasm in entertainment history. He makes a mockery of politicians and sensational news stories with an unmatched wit and pitch perfect delivery. The best part is he does it so well that some Republicans think he’s actually on their side.
In one of his latest brilliant attacks on bullshit legislation, Colbert features a Florida high school teacher who registered students in her class to vote and is now being charged with voter fraud. A new Florida law shortened the amount of time allowed to submit the voter resignations from 10 days to 48 hours. The state says that this is a security precaution to lessen chances of voter fraud, but some people argue that it was put in place to stunt the voting ability of students and African-Americans — two predominantly Democratic demographics.
Check out Colbert’s investigative report, complete with hilarious 80s dramatization.

I loved this. Florida is already a laughing stock now we have one more thing to add to it. I'm embarrassed to say I live in Florida. The ones up in Tallahassee are plain idiots. Not sure what idiots down here voted them into office. Certainly wasn't me.

Kerri Isaac-Routenberg Unfortunately, I don't think this kind of idiocy is unique to Florida. I just, however, thought Colbert's presentation was priceless and hysterical. What town do you live in?

We live in Sunrise just west of Ft. Lauderdale. And I'm a teacher so that craziness really hit home.

This is terrible! According to the Brennan Center For Justice voter fraud is happening.00004% of the time! We must follow Florida's lead and stop these teachers from destroying America by registering unprepared and impressionable high school students to vote!
