So we hear from the Obama administration that “cleansing” the voter rolls would be “RACIST!”.......

[nina0113]

As disgusting as the fact that the Dems stole this one right in front of everyone is the fact that the GOP stood by and let them.

Which is why I won't support Pawlenty for President.

[Colonel_Flagg]

STUPID people elected Franken......the STUPIDEST of the STUPID>

Nobody elected Stuart Smalley. He lost. He is, and always will be, a Senator-Select.

[Pilated]

Throw the SOB out to the unemployment lines.

[Phillipian]

You are right. If the repubs won’t protect the voting franchise, they deserve what they get. Sadly, the rest of us don’t though.

[Jaysin]

of course they will.

keep in mind that they are convinced that the GOP stole the 2000 elections THEREFORE they have the RIGHT to steal an election.

[DustyMoment]

And, this is going to change what??? Franken isn’t going to go away and everyone KNEW that illegal shenanigans were being conducted during the numerous recounts when the count kept increasing his total vote percentage.

He’s a Dem. Election by fraud is perfectly acceptable for Dems. Were he a ‘Pubbie (perish the thought!), leftist groups across the country would be demanding that he be removed from office and hung!!

But, there’s no double standard there.

[Ann Archy]

Sadly so true.....but think of all the STUPID people that DID vote for that diaper-clad loser.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Hugh Hewitt wrote a great book several years ago, “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat!”. The gist of it was that the Dems are always going to have skunkwork ops trying to bend results in their direction, and the only thing we can do about it is to turn out at the ballot box and overwhelm them with superior force. When it comes down to margins under 1000 you know they can always find enough felons, dead people, or mystery ballots left in the trunk of an Oldsmobile to make that up.

[MrB]

Yeah, it was stupid people that put Franken within range that the

SECRETARY OF STATE OF MINNESOTA COULD STEAL IT FOR HIM.

[Pontiac]

“Prosecutors have to act more swiftly in prosecuting cases from the 2008 election to deter fraud in the future," he said, "and the state has to make sure that existing system, that flags convicted felons so voting officials can challenge them at the ballot, is effective. In 90 percent of the cases we looked at, the felons weren't flagged."

"If the state had done that," he said, "things might be very different today."

Which is exactly why the state and federal authorities are doing nothing. Both are in the control of the Dims who like election fraud as an election strategy that has worked for them time and time again.

And here’s why he was able to get away with it:http://www.collinsreport.net/2010/07/11/democrats-plan-to-steal-nov-elections-with-secretaries-of-state-as-they-did-to-coleman-in-minn/

How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud

http://www.conservativeaction.org/resources.php3?nameid=votefraud

1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).

2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who’s been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).

3. Mystery Voters. These “voters” cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)

4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).

5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they’re protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers — voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)

6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).

7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a “smokes-for-votes” campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).

8. Phantom Voters. These voters don’t really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).

9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).

10. Absentee ballots. Normally it’s assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami’s 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98).”

[MrB]

That’s what’s so frustrating about this -

the GOP doesn’t fight hard enough at preventative measures,

and as far as I know, there has never been an election overturned, especially 2 years later, when election fraud has been shown to have affected the outcome.

[CitizenM]

If you want to be elected these days, all you have to do is:

1. Pander to the illegal immigrants and keep giving them everything for free.
2. Lie to the stupid who don't read or research or listen to anything but the stupid lying liberal media and make sure no one knows the truth about your background, your intentions, your agenda, or your heritage.
3. Make people feel guilty ...or frightened. Don't tell them anything positive, just what is wrong with everyone else and your opponent, and how the other "Party" is going to hurt them.
4. Condemn, belittle, criticize anyone who disagrees with anyone who is a known racist who openly hates all white people and blames/hates America. That will get you the racist vote!
5. Coddle the anti-Americans who say this is a horrible country and that they will leave here, but never do, who commit crimes of terrorism against our people and burn our flag. Oh, and be sure to put them in teaching positions.
6. Make sure you get all incarcerated criminals to vote for you even though they are not allowed to vote, but that does not matter. Those criminals are just citizens who broke the law but are really concerned about the good of our country. Right?
7. Have all the deceased come to the polls and vote you in. Of course, you will have to campaign at cemeteries to do this.
8. Be sure to tell those who support you to vote twice.
9. Oh, and be sure to be a Democrat.

It sure seems, Byrd had it easier. All he had to do was join the KKK.

I am sure some FReepers can think of other advice to give a liberal, anti-American, egomaniac interested in running for office today.

[CitizenM]

LOL...I just saw your post after I posted mine. Seems we got it figured out.

[Pontiac]

the GOP doesn’t fight hard enough at preventative measures,

Well this is not exactly the GOP.

But sending people to jail for voter fraud is a preventative measure.

Getting the names of these do nothing public officials in the press as not taking action to prevent voter fraud is a preventative measure.

[The Great RJ]

Just the tip of the iceberg of fraud that got Franken elected. I could never figure out why no one seemed to care about boxes of ballots that were "lost" just turning up and shazaam all of them just happened to be for Franken, especially in a race that was closely contested in most districts.

When government regulators from the EPA ban wood stoves and fireplaces and UN fishing mandates control fishing in Minnesota, I wonder what Franken will have to say to the people of Minnesota.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

They found over 1000 votes for Christine Gregorie were from felons during the 3 recounts that finally pushed her over the edge and into the WA state governor mansion. The final verdict was that she won by about 600 votes. If those votes hadn’t been counted, she would of lost the final recount.
She’s still governor. Nothing will come of this.

[bergmeid]

Well whoopdeedoo. Now what? Nothing, I bet.

We just take it and take it and take it. Nice guys do always finish last. I’m so tired of being nice.
