How extensive is voter-fraud, especially among non-citizens? Just bring up the question, or suggest we need to have voter-ID at the polls like every other advanced democracy, and the answer will be instantly supplied: You’re a racist. But as Dan McLaughlin points out over at The Federalist, Democrats seem to win a suspiciously high number of close elections, well beyond what a random statistical trial would suggest.
There’s a bombshell academic study out on this issue right now that the media is mostly ignoring (the only exception being the Washington Post’s very fine wonky MonkeyCage blog), in part because it appears in an obscure academic journal, Electoral Studies, that is behind an expensive subscription paywall, and in part because any reporter who does a story about it will be called a racist. Since I’m an academic these days, I’ve got access to the article, “Do Non-Citizens Vote in U.S. Elections?”, by Jesse T. Richman and Gulshan A. Chattha of Old Dominion University and David C. Earnest of George Mason University.
The conclusion of the abstract alone ought to set off alarm bells:
We find that some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections. Non-citizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.
Using data from the Cooperate Congressional Election Study, which sampled 32,000 voters in 2008 and over 50,000 voters in 2010, the authors conclude that as many as 14 percent of non-citizens—potentially as high as 2.8 million—are registered to vote. The authors conclude that a mid-point estimate of 1.2 million non-citizens cast votes in 2008:

Secretary of state elections are especially targeted by big Democrat-Bloomberg et al- money and efforts.
Louisville Courier-Journal has a story this morning about how voter registration in Louisville Metro is at an all time high.
Of the 22,000+ new voters since 2012, 18,000 are registered Democrats. Keep in mind that voter registration in KY, like most states, is overseen by the Secretary of State’s office. KY’s current SoS is Alison Grimes.
There’s a reason why George Soros backed the “Secretaries of State” project.
Well, in Virginia, the “Libertarian” candidate (funded by an Obama bundler) crashed and burned BAD on morning talk radio here in DC. . .
I’ve always thought that offering cash rewards was about the only way to stop a lot of this fraud now.
If a private group had just a quarter of the money Karl Rove blew in the last election, you could offer huge rewards to people reporting voter fraud. You have to make everyone involved in the fraud think someone is looking over their shoulder, and I think $5,000 would be a nice incentive that would get people to squeal ....and big bucks if you turn in an election official committing fraud or a get out the vote group, etc.....you can turn a lot of people against each with a lump of money up for grabs ...
Fantastic idea, it would work very well.
It reminds me of story about Mayor Frank Hague in Jersey City, seems in a tight election year College football players would be sent into the cold water tenements to campaign for the opposing candidate, at 1:00 am. with predictable results.
Your time would be better spent working so as to earn more money so as to buy more bullets.
Sadly, Voting From The Rooftops looks like our only option at this late stage. If not, we might as well throw up our hands and admit total defeat.
Anything that is within 2000 votes will go democrat after recounts. Anything within 10000 will be recounted until democrats win. There are trunkloads of ballots just waiting and the spineless republicans will not challenge the “heavily minority” precints.
Up here in Alaska, Begich’s people are calling everybody in rural areas, trying to get them to vote early for the Dems. They are telling massive lies about Sullivan the Repub candidate that has a narrow lead. No joke, I get calls every evening; they call it a poll, but that it’s not. Completely legal I guess. I usually play along, waste their time, then tell them I’d never vote for that crook Begich; they hang up. Bottomline, they are calling all the Indians too and they believe the lies and they vote.
Oh yeah there will be massive voter fraud.. WHY NOT?...
WHO is to STOP THEM.?
Speaking of stopping them....
Where is Catherine Englebrecht’s group, True The Vote? I’ve not heard much about that group, in the past year. I know the IRS went after them...I hope that didn’t quiet them down.
Good points and ideas....but, didn’t the GOP sign something, a few years back, stating they would not prosecute and/or pursue voter fraud charges...for x number of years? I believe the document has been posted before, on FR.
Nah, it can't be, that our team would conspire to keep the 2 card monte' game going to prevent another Reagan / Cruz / Palin from coming up through the ranks to really trim government like a well honed Corporation would and live by true GAAP Accounting? Please say it isn't so :-)....
The FEDs probably ARE visiting election officials and strong-arming them into committing fraud. I mean the ones that aren’t already bought and paid for..
They will cheat in ALL of them. Every last one. 100 percent chance of cheating. By individual fraud or computer “oopsie bad calibration” fraud.
Re: “Friendly Takeover”
I completely agree.
However, the takeover began in 1901, led by Teddy Roosevelt.
After Republicans tossed Roosevelt out in 1912, he founded the Progressive Party!
