PRAISE GOD! PASS THE AMMO.

We do well to pray and work against voter fraud, too. Seriously.

We do well to pray and work against voter fraud, too. Seriously.

Let's do more than pray, we can help prevent voter fraud. From Judicial Watch here are 8 things WE ALL can do:

1. Become a poll worker
2. Become a poll watcher
3. Perform voter registration research
4. Speak out at election hearings and local precinct sessions
5. Write letters to the editor and opinion editorials (and push them)
6. Call in to talk radio shows
7. Create a blog, or blog on other sites
8. Be active in social networking

8 Things You Can Do Now to Help STOP Voter Fraud

Obviously, each of us doesn't have time to try to accomplish all of these things. Choose what you CAN do and take action. Every little bit of effort is critical to ensure we win the elections this year.

I'm doing research, writing letters, engaging people I meet, and working to set up local groups to watch the polls.

Here are some tidbits from the article -

The sad truth is that our nation’s recent history consists of far too many elections which have been called into question due to allegations of incompetence and outright misconduct. Most notable have been the abuses by ACORN1 and its state organizations, which in 2008 were implicated in at least 35 well-documented election fraud schemes in 17 states, leading to multiple convictions, fines, and even prison. And while ACORN activities became so nefarious, it was forced to officially disband (though, in reality, spinoff groups have survived). Project Vote, an affiliate of ACORN, remains very active in its flagrant attempts to influence elections for its leftist allies.

To illustrate to you how a small number of illegal votes can affect election results, some make the credible argument that voter fraud handed a U.S. Senate seat to Al Franken, which helped cement the Democratic majority for the first two years of the Obama presidency. Franken won by a razor-thin margin of only 312 votes out of some 3 million cast on election day in 2008.2 Since then, an investigation by Minnesota Majority, an organization fighting for clean elections in the state, discovered that 289 convicted felons voted in Minneapolis’s Hennepin County — which is illegal under state law — and another 52 voted illegally in St. Paul’s Ramsey County.3 Instances of duplicate registrations, multiple voting by the same person, vacant and non-deliverable addresses, and deceased voters still on the rolls also turned up, underscoring the abuses that apparently occurred during a very narrow election, with the result that the wrong person 4 may well be representing the state of Minnesota in the halls of Congress.

In poll after poll, for some time now, large segments of the American public have expressed their dismay with various aspects of our electoral system. A Rasmussen poll from August of 2013 reported that only 39% of Americans believe elections are fair.7 In 2012, a Monmouth University poll reported that more than two-thirds of registered voters thought voter fraud was a problem.8 In 2008, when a Gallup poll asked respondents around the world whether they had “confidence in the honesty of elections,” 53% of Americans said that they did not.9

That there is an opportunity is clear. To begin with, voter fraud is both hard to spot and hard to prove. Particularly where it is successful, voter fraud may never be detected. For example, the authorities are unlikely to discover that someone who is not required to show identification has voted on the still-valid registration of his friend who has moved out of state. But even where voter fraud is detected, successful prosecutions remain unlikely. There may be no way to track down a perpetrator where, for example, authorities often have nothing but a bogus signature on a poll book or a bogus registration or absentee form.

The decentralized nature of our electoral laws and enforcement activity, our national mobility, and the nature of our demographics also create opportunities for voter fraud. In 2012, the Pew Research Center on the States released an astonishing report noting that “[a]pproximately 2.75 million people have active registrations in more than one state.” That same report observed that “24 million — one of every eight — active voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate,” and that “[m]ore than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as active voters.”12

Hillary won the popular vote my ass.
