Florence (SC) Man Charged With Voter Fraud (1500)

Florence, SC - A Florence man has been arrested on charges of using names and personal information of people - including the Florence mayor - on more than one thousand voter registration forms and turning them in to the county voter registration office.

Prosecutor Ed Clements the third says 44-year-old Terence Hines was taken into custody Wednesday on charges of forgery and multiple counts of fraudulent registration or voting.

The State Law Enforcement Division began investigating soon after Hines turned in more than 15-hundred completed forms to the Florence County Voter Registration Office last week.

Voter registration and elections director Russell Barrett says a registration form for Florence Mayor Frank Willis sent up a red flag. Barrett says he is pretty sure the mayor was already a registered voter and had been for some time.

So who was paying him per registration? Some journalists we've got huh?

'bout time

[Rutles4Ever]

The article cleverly refrains from noting which PARTY they were being registered under... Any guesses?

[fooman]

I researched this last night. I even got the name and address if you want to drive there. 527 Group called american family union feeding into the south carolina progressive network.


I will post links.

HERE IS THE KEY, SC freepers should have ALL registrations by this lefist group audited.

Now this lefty 527 group claims that guy was the *only* bad apple, but the group looks very hokey, especially for conservative SC.

[Snerdley]

Did he work for New Voter's Project? or Voter Project? These are two organizations fraudulently registering voters in Wisconsin. I understand they also do this in other states (OH, AZ, NM, Fl)

[no dems]

Everyone of his registrations should be thrown out. And, when are we going to see people being led away in handcuffs on the evening news for voter fraud. They did it with the corporate execs to make a point. This is very serious.

As a sidebar, why isn't the Bush Attorney General's Office completing it's investigation and prosecuting Sandy Berger? We're either going to go for the jugular this last three weeks or start practicing saying the words "President Kerry".

I don't understand the fuss. Voter fraud is not illegal.

Same answer given by the leadership of Voter project who had one of their goons pinched in Racine Wisconsin last week.

Must be a canned-answer if anyone is busted.

[Rutles4Ever]

I have no idea. I'm guessing if they were Republican filings, we would be hearing from Jesse Jackson and Danny Glover.

[fooman]

If you the Snerdley, please have Rush mention this. We can stop this if we demand a full auditing of these registrations.

[pawdoggie]

Yep, yet again one more time the failure of the "journalist" to mention the perp's actual or presumed party affiliation proves that a Lefty Democrat was involved. Now we know why, beyond the presumed desire to stir up "the base", the DNC is protesting so much about imagined (but as yet unmaterialized) Republican attempts to "disenfranchise" voters. Attacks against Republican and Bush/Cheney offices around the country, "innocent" alterations of absentee ballots in battleground states, and the use of 527 groups to promote hate and class/racial division. This is all of a piece, it's a full-court press, and these Rat thugs will stop at nothing.

[fooman]

There ought to someone at SLED or those in the COla chapter who would be willing to do a freep.

MISSING VOTER PROJECT EXCEEDS GOAL!
Congratulations and thank you to all the organizations and individuals who in just four weeks registered nearly 4,000 new South Carolina voters. When the Network's Missing Voter Project was funded to conduct nonpartisan voter registration in South Carolina, our goal was to register 3,500 voters.

Unfortunately, one of our canvassers working in Florence turned in forms that were largely fiction. When the Network checked the veracity of the forms and discovered many of them were bogus, we alerted the authorities. For more information, see the press release: "Network reports Voter Fraud" the Network issued Oct. 7.
