Statement from Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter Regarding Possible Voter Fraud
Nixle ^ | Wednesday, October 19, 2016 | Doug Carter

Posted on 10/19/2016 3:53:29 PM PDT by Fester Chugabrew

I would like to thank Secretary of State Connie Lawson for her diligence in contacting Indiana State Police detectives and reporting that thousands of paper form voter registration applications were changed, including dates of birth and first names. Given our ongoing investigation, Secretary Lawson believed this could be further evidence of voter fraud and immediately contacted Indiana State Police detectives who were working on the case. We are grateful to Secretary Lawson for her prompt attention to this matter.

Let me be clear: Among the highest priorities of the Indiana State Police is ensuring the integrity of this election and that every Hoosier vote counts.

Because of these new revelations, the magnitude of the possible fraud involved and with the election less than three weeks away, I have directed all available resources within the Indiana State Police to assist with this investigation. Given the fact that the Statewide Voter Registration System has not been compromised, we believe the reports Secretary Lawson turned over yesterday may serve as evidence of forgery by representatives associated with the Indiana Voter Registration Project, which is a subsidiary organization of a group that calls itself Patriot Majority USA.

It is very important to recognize that instead of telling Hoosiers they would cooperate with our investigation and working with Indiana officials to get to the bottom of the fraud issue, Patriot Majority USA instead launched a partisan advertising campaign accusing Governor Pence of leading a "government attack against" Hoosiers and the Indiana State Police of "police intimidation."

This is completely false and I condemn these attacks on the Governor and Indiana State Police in the strongest possible terms. Furthermore, Patriot Majority's claim that our investigation began at the direction of Governor Pence is false. Governor Pence has never asked me or anyone in the Indiana State Police to initiate any investigation. Any suggestion to the contrary is offensive to me personally and the more than 1,000 troopers who serve with integrity and distinction every single day. The leadership of Patriot Majority should be ashamed of itself for suggesting otherwise.

This investigation began with a concerned citizen alerting county election officials to dozens of voter application forms with grave discrepancies that indicated the possibility of fraud and forgery. Election officials called the Indiana State Police and a detective responded and determined further investigation was warranted.

Our investigation currently spans 56 of Indiana's 92 counties and has more than two dozen state police detectives diligently reviewing thousands of suspect voter application forms.

While I cannot speak to the specifics of this investigation I have the highest level of confidence there will be County Prosecutors in multiple Indiana counties who will hold a number of people criminally responsible for their actions.

We at the Indiana State Police have one goal: To enforce the laws of Indiana, and in this case, the laws associated with voter registration to ensure every Hoosier who is eligible to vote can cast a vote with confidence that their vote will count and they will not be disenfranchised as a result of the criminal actions of others.

Doug Carter, Indiana State Police Superintendent

Fight the bastards in the trenches, fight them on the battlefield, this battle is not for the faint hearted. Watch and be vigilant. They have gotten away with this for so long they consider a Constitutional right to cheat.

You know, if Nixon would have confronted this back in 1960, it would have been nipped in the bud and things would have turned out much better for America after that.

When insane federal judges allow illegal aliens and non-citizens to vote then it’s nothing but ludicrous that dead people can’t vote.

I agree. And I have just emailed those exact sentiments to Superintendent Carter (via DBursten, Information Officer) of the Indiana State Police. I encourage others to so the same suggesting that all questionable registrations be subjected to enhanced vetting before any vote from that individual is counted on November 8th.

Excellent! Diligence pays off. Only 49 states to go, to track down voter fraud, or, in Obama-speak 56 states to go.

It’s something like, “Locks were made to keep honest people honest.”
`rats figure, `Well, if no one’s going to use this vote, we may as well ... ‘

I heard a judge chew-out a defendant out once, “If it weren’t for people like you the rest of us wouldn’t have to lock our doors!”
Like Hillary and her attitude toward the law they figure if they can get away with it, why not?
It is hard for the rest of us to understand that kind of thinking, but we know them: “By hook or crook.”

This should be death penalty stuff. It’s a direct attack on the entire body politic.

It's treason. Hang 'em.

Now, if we could just get the Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York State Troopers, and the CHIPS to respond in a similar fashion.

Usually one wants such investigations to lead to the perps being frog marched in handcuffs asap. However, in this case, the threat of an active investigation with the credible promise that prosecution would be in order may help stem further undetected fraud since the prospective perpetrators will have to be cautious. If charges are brought now, the theater would be good for our side, but the undetected perpetrators might be emboldened to continue to act.

In O’keef’s video one of those Democrat guys said Indiana, and Michigan are the easiest to commit voter fraud.

Yes, you’re right, it’s been around. But it’s at a whole new level now.

Voter Fraud is Treason!

Hang the SOBs!

List of federal offenses relating to vote fraud

Preventing somebody from voting by falsifying a voting registration is a federal offense under 18 USC 241 and 242.

Additionally, we have 52 U.S.C. §§ 10307, relating to multiple voting, or voting somebody else's name. Non citizens voting is also a federal felony.

This might not matter under Obama and Lynch, but I think a Trump administration would be very interested in hunting down perpetrators of vote fraud.

After the election, there is clearly need for a Federal law against election rigging.

Serious Federal prison time mandatory for even small offenses, like filling in Grandma's ballot for her.

For more egregious offenses, death by hanging, in public and broadcast on TV.

Then let it be said "This is what happens to traitors around here."

Yes, it is treason.
