Did you know that almost 2 million dead Americans are registered to vote, and that 3 million Americans are registered to vote more than once? Did you know that a busload of volunteers with a list of names disenfranchises you more than anything else, and makes a mockery of our system?
Various groups support photo ID laws, but are shouted down by Eric Holder’s Justice Department and certain leaders who insist that there is no such thing as fraud. So why do 73% of voters support the institution of photo ID laws? It’s because we’re not stupid! Not only can dead people vote, but some live people can vote twice, due to multiple registrations. But don’t worry, politicians are much too honest to ever cheat in an election!
According to some, voter fraud is a rare occurrence, hardly worth our time to try to prevent, but it’s a fact that proving fraud is difficult and time-consuming. If you suspect that “dead” people are voting, the only way to verify it is to comb through the poll books, comparing the names to another reliable list of the deceased, which is expensive and time-consuming. Why not simply eliminate the known dead from the poll books in the first place?
Another way to cheat is to purposely register people you know will not show up to the polls, then bus volunteers in to vote for them. You’d be surprised at how just a few people can make a big difference. Many local elections are won on the basis of a handful of votes, and with tens of thousands of precincts in the United States, even a national election can be shifted.
Perhaps the most egregious form of fraud occurs when absentee ballots are tampered with; either by “helping” the voter to decide, or by outright theft or destruction of ballots.
If we want to protect the integrity of our vote, we have to accept that the opportunity for troublemaking exists, then formulate a plan to safeguard our most precious right to free and fair elections. Volunteering to watch the process and report suspected fraud is one of the most important jobs a citizen can do. The addition of a voter ID requirement, is not only effective, but popular, because Americans want a level playing field. Perception is everything; you can only have confidence in a system that doesn’t seem rigged.
There is a bigger civil rights issue at play here too; those who want undocumented people voting in our elections couldn’t care less about people without ID. Instead of streamlining the process to make sure that underserved populations get the ID they need to be “socially enfranchised”, they stymy efforts for a free and fair vote.
If any group is truly concerned about the “disenfranchised”, they should budget time and money toward ensuring that their constituents are properly documented and able to fully participate in our culture. You can’t buy a beer, open a checking account or obtain many social services without a photo ID. You can’t even enter the Department of Justice to complain about voter ID laws without a photo ID!
And guess what? This is a non-partisan issue, because both sides of the political spectrum have been caught at one time or another.

“Did you know that almost 2 million dead Americans are registered to vote, and that 3 million Americans are registered to vote more than once?”
Of course; how else is it possible to explain the election of a congenital idiot such as Obama?
Wisconsin Voter Fraud Alert ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this wisconsin interest ping list.
Although this “summit” is in MI, it is of interest to Wisconsin voters.
I’m finding it really difficult to concentrate on the article after reading your screen name.
(A-HEM!) Yes! Voter fraud.
Very bad. Must stop.
The voter fraud, that is.
Bad, bad voter fraud. Very bad.
I hesitate to post this because after viewing, you will just say, “I give up!” But you must not give up! You MUST vote ABO. Don’t give up on our country. Please. Don’t give up.
Easy to stop...VOTER PHOTO ID. Of course, to get that done, something else we lack needs to be found...CAJONES.
The election fraudsters violently oppose this and will continue to as long as we, the people are willing to put up their BS.
Anyone that has worked the polling places on election day, as I have, can tell you it is ripe for people to cast fraudulent votes.
- I witnessed one person walk into the polling place with a big stack of vote by mail ballots and drop them into the ballot box. We were told that only the person whose name is on the ballot can drop it into the box. That went so far as to have a procedure in place where a poll worker was to go out to a car to accept a mail in ballot from someone that could not get out of their car.
I told the polling place captain what had happened and he said there was nothing that could be done about it now. I suggested we move the ballot box to a location to prevent that from happening and he said the ballot box location could not be moved, its location had already been approved.
- As a poll worker, of course, you could have one person after another come in to the polling place and vote using someone else’s name. By mistake I saw fellow pole workers mark the wrong persons name. When the person whose name it was came in and their name had already been checked off, the poll worker just checked off another name.
They have no incentive to stop. Now what?
I don’t understand why we don’t see more “Defectors” from the Democrats telling of misdeeds.
Nobody has 100% loyalty over time. If there is as much cheating as we think, where are the defectors (or Plants) to bring this out?
If we don’t have any “Plants” to learn what’s going on then why not?
We are organizing the counties in Michigan to make real change, with Voter ID, tightening up the standards for third party registration, ensuring the integrity of absentee ballots, and training election challengers-the front line on Election Day. Catherine Englebrecht of True the Vote is a bonafide hero across the country-she is on her way to organizing 1,000,000 volunteers to smother efforts to steal the vote in 2012. I know sometimes it seems hopeless, but with enough people on the ground, we can, at the very least, make it much harder to cheat.
Oh, but many Americans ARE stupid. But even some of the stupid have figured out THIS scam.
Because by coming forward, they would be confessing to committing felonies. Bob
I had a great grandfather that “rode” with John Brown. I grew up on the Kansas-Missouri border and know quite a bit of history about the Bleeding Kansas period. From Platte County, MO, which I know well, Senator Atchinson and his cohorts sent fraudulent voters time and again into Kansas Territory to vote.
That chronic election fraud brought war in the west long before The events off the South Carolina coast.
Election fraud can get ugly real fast.
Well, we have Anita MonCrief (Acorn Whistleblower)
See also J. Christian Adams’ book, Injustice, which details his first-hand experience with voter fraud, as well as John Fund’s book, Stealing Elections.
Wifee had to show photo ID to make change in auto insurance policy and we have unknown dude with family living in our house, flying in our planes, destroying far more than the carpeting and they don’t have to show or5 prove shit. We be had and more.
We need paper ballots, photo ID, and purple ink and anyone who argues against this condones cheating.
How about we have videotapes of all entrances to the polls and thumbprints of all voters? The thumbprint can be right next to the voter’s name on the voting rolls.
