Palestra.net has found more than a dozen examples of voter fraud in the battleground state of Ohio over the last month. They uncovered out-of-state campaign workers voting as if they were Ohio residents. Their investigation lead to more than a dozen Obama staffers withdrawing their votes in that state.
Now they found the same thing going on in New Mexico. The worst example is a guy who was a delegate to the DNC... from California. Then a month later he went and voted as a New Mexico resident, despite not having any previous ties to the state.
The worst part is the county commissioner in Albuquerque, who says, "it's not so much that it's allowed as it's not enforced." Ummm... what? It's against the law... you're acknowledging that it's against the law... but you're not enforcing your laws?
Bear in mind, New Mexico has been won by about 6,000 votes and 400 votes in the last two presidential elections, so there's a good chance these fraudulent voters could tip the balance on Tuesday.
This is shaping up to be the most fraud-riddled election ever.
Isn't that a felony?
I think it was Chicago Machine politician Richard Daly the First who said that if an election had less than a 10% spread, he could win it.
Josef Stalin said, it’s not the one who casts the vote that has the power, but rather the one that counts the vote.
Hey folks, these articles are depressing and there is nothing we can do about it. So, why don’t we cease and desist in posting this stuff this last weekend before the election and post stuff that will encourage each other?
In one of their stories they said voter fraud was a fourth-degree felony in Ohio. I would assume it’s similar in NM.
Of course that depends on a prosecutor actually pressing charges.
Yes, there is something we can do about it.
We can get angry and double our efforts to get out the vote.
If these articles make one more person join the GOTV effort, it will have been worth it.
So... what... just say “well, they’re going to commit fraud. Oh well”?
Send it around, make it known that this is going on, and make it clear that if we let it go and let these thugs win it’s only going to get worse.
This stuff doesn’t make me want to curl up in a ball and cry. It makes me want to go vote and make damn sure that everyone else I know votes too.
I disagree. I think it’s uplifting to see the young ladies at palestra.net digging into these things.
They’re doing the work that the MSM refuse to do.
It’s the law?
So is illegal immigration and they turn a blind eye on that there too.
Assuming that it is a felony in NM, then the voter compounds the felony by crossing state lines to commit a crime. I hope that if McCain wins that he will have the guts to appoint Attorney Generals who will go after these jackasses with a sledge hammer for about four years.
I’m generally against all things federal, but I believe it’s long passed time for us to completely federalize our presidential elections with regard to registrations and voting. We need a national voter database, special voter ID cards with PIN numbers, and ID checks when a voter shows up to cast a ballot. When someone dies, they are removed from the rolls, and when someone votes(anywhere in the nation), they are in the system as having voted, and won’t be allowed to cast another ballot for president until the next election.
How difficult would this be? I’d say not very. We already give every human born in the USA a SSN, and the IRS damn well knows it when you don’t pay taxes.
It will never happen though. The interests of fraud depend on an outdated, inefficient joke of a system that make it easier for them to cheat. With the widespread fraud and manipulation of our voting system, our republic is lost.
Loud and notorious prosecution of these criminals should be the norm. For punishment, hang them, maybe then they’ll get the message.
Oh yes there is something you can do about it. Get to know who your friendly neighborhood Democrat precinct officers are and find out how many out-of-staters they are hosting in their own homes on weekends etc., and report it to counsel for the local Republican precinct. It’s unlawful and these folks are betting on no enforcement. If you live in a battleground state, this IS HAPPENING right now.
I can’t say enough positive things about the great job of journalism those kids at Palestra.net have done this election.
They have done the work the MSM refuses to do.
Great job!!!!
VOTE!!!!
Just check out obamatravel.org to see what campaign workers are traveling from what to state to what battleground state. These are the names that the Atty Gen. or local Republican counsel must track
Email the info to the US Attorney General, CC the NM State Attorney General and all the Newspapers in NM. Print your letter out on FR and on any and all online groups you have access to.
What’s going to be ha ha funny is that on Nov 5 after all the votes are counted and Obamalammadingdongdell loses, there will be a lot of sputtering DNC and Demo cross-state voters wondering how he lost when they voted more than once.
From my lips to God’s ear.
Good take. By the way, Megyn Kelley at Fox News has been giving these young ladies some serious air time. God love them ...and protect them.
The MSM had to be dragged to make even some small reporting on Obama's illegal alien aunt making illegal campaign contributions because a major British news organization shamed them into it, but the MSM seem to be determined to ignore Palestra.net's blockbuster stories.
