Republican Party challenges 85 absentee ballots

The Madison County Republican Party challenged 85 absentee ballots that were cast in Tuesday's general election.

Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings said Thursday the votes in question included people voting from vacant lots, condemned houses or houses that were damaged by fire.

He said the GOP decided to issue challenges to the votes after receiving complaints from mail carriers, neighbors and precinct workers.

"When people were doing polls of the precincts, they would discover that people were registered to vote from vacant lots," Cummings said. "The Election Board should not be letting people vote from vacant lots. They should be sending out a traveling voter board to get affidavits from people."

He said ballots were cast from a vacant lot at 2211 Halford St., a condemned house at 2304 Sheridan St., and a vacant house at 717 Cottage Ave.

Madison County Clerk Kathy Stoops Wright, a member of the Election Board, said the challenges were delivered to her office at 5:05 a.m. Tuesday.

"I skimmed through them," Wright said. "Some of the absentee ballots were not returned."

Wright said the Election Board is taking no action on the challenges.

"Those ballots that were challenged have already been counted. We have not pursued them any further."

Martha Carmichael, president of the Election Board, said all the challenges were on absentee ballots.

"I'm not sure you can legally challenge an application," Carmichael said.

"We will probably check the application to see what happened," said Carmichael. "We will see if the ballot was delivered and returned. We will then determine if they are legitimate."

Carmichael said any that are questionable will be turned over to the prosecutor's office for possible legal action.

Cummings said legally there isn't anything for the Election Board to do.

"You can't prevent a vote from being cast," he said. "Normally when a voter is challenged, they can sign an affidavit that they actually live at a certain address.

"They consider the absentee ballot to be that affidavit," Cummings said.

I am sure that the RATS think that if the Repulicans get away with stopping vacant lots from voting, the next RAT voter block to go will be the graveyards.

Would this be the Madison County where the bridges are located?

Can you put your domicile as a vacant lot for voting purposes? That's kind of interesting. Do you just need to own property to vote somewhere?

[BARLF]

What? No Controlling Legal Authority?

"Can you put your domicile as a vacant lot for voting purposes? That's kind of interesting. Do you just need to own property to vote somewhere? "

Last part was meant to read "DON'T you just need to own property to vote somewhere."

The dims should just take a clue from Cook County (Illinois) and go for the grave yard vote. Lot's more voters there than in a vacant lot.

In Cali, you just need an address to put down to register to vote. No ID is needed at all. None. You can register ten times in ten precincts under ten names if you want to. At no point is their any check that the voter is an actual person, much less an actual resident US citizen.

When Bob Dornan was narrowly defeated for Congress, hundreds of 'rat "ghost voters" were found "living" in warehouses and vacant lots. The jelly-spined RNC decided they didn't want to defend the brash and uncouth B-1 Bob Dornan, and didn't contest the fraudulent results.

Since then, the 'rats have been emboldened. The RNC never never fights back. Only in FL 2000 did we resist 'rat voter fraud, and Freepers led that fight, NOT the RNC.

Actually a friend of mine who was the county Republican Chairman up here that election, tried to fight back re the vans of illegals being brought in to vote, and people going to vote and being told that they had applied for an absentee ballot (which they didn't and is another Rat trick) in our area.

He was crucified in the local fishwrap and on the local radio stations as an evil white racist. The local DA refused to even look at what my friend was trying to say.

He got threatening phone calls and so did his wife. They finally sold their home and moved to another city/county where he is just a voter not an active Republican.

One can only imagine the treatment his peers got in the LA area and Bay area if they dared to complain.

There may come the day when we just might have to fight fraud with fraud. We need to have poll watchers at every polling place. It's hard to cast an absentee ballot without a viable adddress and I know our San Diego registrar checks addresses for the number of ballots requested in multiple names.

Once our vote is diluted by fraud, we've dang near lost our Republic.

Fighting back seems to be instinctive behavior that was bred out of Republicans. A new gene pool is needed, and it is forming on college campuses now. Help is on the way.

Of course, next November, ANY Republican victory will be trumpeted by the race hustler industry as Evidence of cheating by Republicans. We have to be ready for this onslaught of slander, and not let it make us cower.

The satisfying thing about this is that the Demos, even with the vote fraud that has gone on here for years, still lost the mayor's race rather substantially [thanks to a very minor extent to yours truly who is a GOP precinct committeeman].

We had a discussion about just this thing at our local GOP County Exec Board last night. About half of the members were AGAINST seeking to be appointed as poll workers. (State law says that the Party that cast the most votes in the last election gets to submit a list of workers and the municpalities MUST choose workers from that list). The Republican Party HAS NEVER submitted a list. Friends of the city clerks get to work. They didn't think it was very important because they thought that there was no fraud here! (This is Wisconsin writing, home of the "smokes for votes and duplicate registrations and the DIM governor who refused to investigate when he was AG and who vetoed voter ID cards.) Whadya gonna do with Pubbies like that?

[afraidfortherepublic]

How about juping on the gubenatorial recall band wagon? 2 months to go...tick...tick...tick...

Wake up. It's already here

AFTR

Wake up. It's already here. Where and when?

It just takes one or two silver haired "sweet" old ladies working as poll watchers to cancel a lot of republican votes or to add a lot of rat votes. I caught one sliding my vote under the ballot box and there was over a dozen there. What alerted me was she was part of a tag team.

This was the Nov 2000 presidential election, and when I signed, the "sweet" silver haired lady at the sign in desk, said in a loud voice, he's a Republican. I thought to my self, why in hell did she say that in a general election where everyone got the same ballot.

When I handed my ballots to the one who ripped off the ballots, and hand the stubs back. I saw her push my ballots under the box instead of depositing them. I called for the poll watcher and there were at least twelve ballots. Nothing was done to the sweet old ladies, but those ballots ended up in the box to be counted if they got to the counting area.
