At 10:00am Monday, a new face knocked on the door at party headquarters. A pleasant face, young, male, and clean-shaven, maybe about 16 or 17. You always welcome new volunteers, of course, but you don’t necessarily like them to just show up, unannounced and unintroduced, when they’re this young. You like… references. A lot goes on at party headquarters – a lot of private conversations, a lot of secret dealings. You don’t want spies in the place.
So it was, understandably, with a bit less than total exuberance that the committeeman, Bill Marcy, sent his associate, Pockets, to get the door and welcome in the new kid.
“What kin we do for ya?” asked Pockets, as cheerfully as he could fake.
“I’m here to help out. My parents said I was old enough to make myself useful to the party. Stuff fundraising letters, address envelopes, fold and collate… whatever you need!”
“Do we, uh, know your parents?” Bill asked.
“Probably,” replied the lad. “I’m Paul Syerov. Pavel, actually, after my dad, but I just go by Paul. My folks are Pavel and Sonia Syerov.”
Pockets whispered to his Boss, “I remember them… big in one of the local unions… they were both shop stewards, I think.”
Bill Marcy brightened as it clicked. “Then we can trust him. All is well, Pockets, all is well.” To the boy he asked “So whaddaya wanna do today? We got precincts to walk, if you’re up to a little exercise.”
“Sure, if it’s close enough that I won’t get lost.”
“Don’t worry, son, we’ve got maps, marked pollsheets, everything we need. We know every resident, who’s registered and who’s not, and why… we know who votes early and who votes late…. And we need to know even more. That’s the current project.”
Little Pavel was confused. “I figured you’d just have me do stuff envelopes in the office when I was starting out. You’ll trust me to walk precincts? You don’t even know me!”
“Don’t need to. You’re a son of Pavel and Sonia Syerov? You may as well be the offspring of George Meany and Gloria Steinem. You come from good stock, son. We trust you.”
Pockets approached, carrying a bag of brochures (with the catchy headline “Raising Taxes and Raising Hopes”) along with a hefty clipboard. “Go to every door, noting the exact time and day of the week you hit that door. Hand them this brochure, and ask them a few questions. Easy. It’s all on your script here. And just mark the answers in this checklist… see, there’s one checklist for every resident.”
“So much for saving trees, huh?” chuckled Pavel.
“Look here,” grumbled the boss, “if we could afford to pass out laptops or iPads to our volunteers to save trees like the rich Republicans can, we would. But we’re the people’s party; we don’t have that kinda money. It’s just old-fashioned, tried-and-true questionnaires for us. It’s worked for a hundred years; there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Pavel grinned. “Hey, I was just kidding. I love paper. It keeps Wisconsin paper mills in business.” Almost forgetting himself, he quickly added “And they’re union, too, after all!”
“Yeah, right.” Pockets continued for the boss. “So you just fill in their answers on the questionnaires and bring ‘em back here, and we input the info into our computers.”
Pavel started reading the questions. They began with simple things like “Are you satisfied with the job that President Obama is doing, considering what an awful mess was left for him by the Bush Administration?” and “Are you happy with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid?” But then it went on to a surprising level of detail about their personal lives. “What time of day do you usually vote?” “Do you get to take the day off on election day, or do you have to vote on your way to or from work, or during lunch?” “Do you ever travel out of town around election day?” “Do you expect to be in town or on a trip this year on election day?” It went on for another page of details.
Pavel asked “Some of this stuff seems kind of personal. Why do we ask this stuff about their hours at work, and whether people have anybody at ho
Great story here.
Yep, I read the whole thing. It confirms every suspicion and accusation of RATS and Election Fraud.
But it's basically useless. It's all 'hear say evidence.' And, as the RAT says, if the GOP or anyone raises a stink or asks for an investigation, the name calling starts. And that's the end of that.
So the fact of the matter is there's only one way to really stop them.
But Premeditated Murder is illegal in all 50 states(1). At least until Civil War v2.0 commences anyway
(1) Or is it 57 states? I better check my Bing map on that.
The story of Pavel may itself be fiction ... fiction that portrays the actual FACTS. Chicago RATs out organize us in the ground game and have no conscience about creatively “using” the info they get on the doorstep. FRAUD ABOUNDS !!
It is not hearsay evidence. There have been many hardfact documentec cases of vote fraud that have been put together outside the procesutors offices and then handed on a silver platter to the prosecurtos.
Both R and D prosecutors have gone out of their way to avoid such prosecutions. Both R & D County stats attorneys in several counties and state attorney geerals including Jim Ryan and Lisa Madigan and others going back many years, and US Attorneys from Jim Thompson to Patrick Fitzgerald.
One reason may be that aggressive prosecutors like to work their way up the food chain til they get the guy at the top. All of the hard fact cases I’ve been involved in, or heard of, would convict a lot of small fry but not move up the food chain.
For example, in one of my Hanover Park precincts, the voter told me that he and his wife had to go back into Chicago’s 7th and 8th wards and vote from the addresses of his mother-in-law, sister-in-law, wife’s aunt, etc. Others in his extended family did the same thing. His mother-in-law could generate several hundred bogus votes that way.
His mother-in-law needed to generate those votes to keep her well paying county job. If she got terminated for not producing enough votes, it would be his fault and he would end up supporting his mother-in-law and have a very unhappy family situation. So he went along with it.
“Everyone knows” that this is done in the 7th and 8th wards en masse... and by both sides ... in the 7th ward by both Sandi Jackson and William Beavers. But it would be quite difficult to link Jackson and Beavers to what their supporters do.
