DENVER -- Forgery charges have been filed against an Aurora man accused of submitting 48 false voter registration forms to state officials.
John Samuel MaCarthy, 27, faces four counts of forgery and one count of procuring false registration.
He's accused of submitting fake registration forms for people in Arapahoe, Jefferson and Denver counties while working for a voter registration collection business known as Choose 2 Vote. He had forged voter registration documents or falsely registered residents with the intent to defraud his Lakewood employer, said Attorney General Ken Salazar.
The 48 false registrations occurred between April 19 and April 22 and were discovered during the course of the investigation -- before they were ever filed with election authorities.
Investigators say neither the employer nor the people whose names were on the forms were aware of his activities.
No primary election races were affected.
MaCarthy is currently in Denver County Jail on unrelated charges.
The investigation was launched after clerks questioned forms listing nonexistent addresses, and others with similar signatures. They turned over 59 allegedly false registration documents.
The multi-jurisdiction investigation continues concerning a limited number of additional allegedly false Denver and Arapahoe County registration documents, and a small number of Adams County registration documents, the attorney general's office said.
The forgery charges could bring up to three years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Procuring false registration is a misdemeanor.
that was my question, like we dont' know!
Or be like California and give them licenses and let the vote.
In California we will give them the ID and let the register at the same DMV office.
This is not the first case of people affiliated with "Choose2Vote' being investigated and/or indicted for voter registration fraud. Howard Brewer and Derrick Lee are two names I'm aware of , in cases that go back to last Spring. It looks like it's just another sneaky Dem manouver to somehow slip illegitimate names onto the voter rolls, thinking that no one would DARE question the idealism of the young Black men doing the petition/name- gathering.
The report I read said that there were 46,000 registered
in both states and that 68 percent are Democrats. However,
a much smaller number apparently actually VOTED in both
states in the same election. I think it was something
like 1,000.
In other words, only a few of the 46,000 are real
criminals engaged in vote fraud. The rest, it seems,
are just trying to vote in Florida if they're there
at the time of an election and in New York if they're
in that state in an election. While they're still
violating the law, it doesn't really threaten Bush ...
unless of course it's as close in Florida as it was
last time.
It would also be interesting to know how many people
are simultaneously registered in Florida and any other
state. More, though, would probably be Republicans.
Gee, what a surprise.
I checked to see what a person needs to register to vote in Pennsylvania...
<> NO address...a PO Box is okay!!
<> NO photo ID
<> NO social security number
<> NO verifiable form of identification
<> NO telephone number
It made me sick!!
Somehow I can't see that a black guy would be registering Republicans.
That's New York City. It doesn't count the snow-birds from the rest of New York state, or Connecticut, or Massachusetts, or Rhode Island, or New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, or Maine, or Vermont, or New Hampshire.
Get the picture? Our voting system is corrupt. Period. Your vote doesn't mean a damned thing.
But most likely a slap on the wrist. We like to molly-coddle our ciminals here, unfortunately.
Has ANYONE EVER been convicted of vote fraud in this country?
bump
How? Plastering the court houses with fraudlent voter registration is one thing, but getting bodies to do the actual voting is quite another.
It looks to me like this is just a ploy to get the MSM to announce a great number of first time voters registering as demo's. This is used to influence the unaware or the undecided as to which way the country is leaning. Also, to scare people like you into thinking it is useless to even go to the polls.
Want to know why all of these stories are emerging? Its because of the awareness of the court house clerks, in those small counties, who questions these drugged up freaks who come in with a box full of voter registrations.
They only have to ask a few simple questions to uncover their fraud.

Good point.
Jeb Bush in Florida answered the media regarding a fraud investigation in which college (UCF, Valencia and Seminole Community College)students said a man and woman set up a table and had voter registrations which the students signed. They were Democrats and their regs. were changed to Republicans. There were a total of 4,000. Jeb said it needs to be investigated because it is strange and could be a SETUP for some kind of FUTURE ACTION. I just saw this on WFTV.
We need to go back and fix HAVA.
The people who have served time in prison for vote fraud can be counted on the fingers of one hand, says Fund.
