Considering voter fraud is overwhelmingly perpetrated by democrats, he sure left that fact out except for a small section about Dornan losing in 96

If it's not close, they can't cheat.

"Pajama voters"?? Say it ain't so!! :-)

[krakath]

This is disturbing news indeed (though it does not come as a suprise). This will be my first national election I will vote in (the CA recall vote being my first). I hope that someday voter fraud will be taken care of, though I feel that we will engineer pigs to fly before then.

"Nearly 1,700 of them have had absentee ballots mailed to their home in the other state, and as many as 1,000 have voted twice in the same election. ........... "

OK, so what freeper action can we take to help prevent this from happening?

[Robert A Cook PE]

And, this is as true now, as it was in 1992, 1996, 2000, and will be true in 2008.

A point though.

Hillary will be running in 2008. And, perhaps, 2004.

Florida license plates are especially visible around here (Long Island, New York) on two dates

• the date of the vote on the school budget and
• Election Day.

The Floridians needn't worry about having their election cards delivered to their old New York addresses, since their own children and grandchildren are now living in the LI houses.

They can't cheat if it ain't close.

This is what goes into Zogby's special sauce....Bush needs to be up by 4 or more points to win.

Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens our Democracy

By John Fund

The Florida Fiasco of 2000, with hanging chads, butterfly ballots and Supreme Court intervention, forced Americans to confront an ugly reality. The U.S. has the sloppiest election systems of any industrialized nation, so sloppy that at least eight of the 19 hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were actually able to register to vote in either Virginia or Florida while they made their deadly preparations for 9/11.

In Stealing Elections, John Fund takes the reader on a national tour of voter fraud scandals ranging from rural states like Texas and Mississippi to big cities such as Philadelphia and Milwaukee. He explores dark episodes such as the way "vote brokers" stole a mayoral election in Miami in 1998 by tampering with 4700 absentee ballots. He shows how, in the aftermath of the Motor Voter Law of 1993, Californians used mail-in forms to get absentee ballots for fictitious people and pets, while in St. Louis it was discovered that voter rolls included 13,000 more names than the U.S. Census listed as the total number of adults in the city.

Election officials try to reassure voters by turning to computerized voting machines. But Fund shows that with the new technology come even greater concerns. Early in 2004, for instance, the state of Maryland, which has 16,000 new Diebold machines, commissioned a security expert to try to rig a practice election. He and his team broke into the computer at the State Board of Elections, completely changed the outcome of the election, left, and erased their electronic trail—all in under five minutes.

Stealing Elections gives us a chilling portrait of our electoral vulnerability—in the 2004 presidential election and on into the future. Writing with urgency and authority, John Fund shows how a lethal combination of bureaucratic bungling and ballot rigging have put our democracy at risk.

John Fund is a member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board and writes the paper's daily Political Diary. He has written on voter fraud and election irregularities for the last decade in the Wall Street Journal, New Republic, American Spectator and other publications. In the past year, Fund has made over 90 appearances on Fox News, MSNBC, C-Span, and CNBC.

One of the reasons NYers have homes in Florida and register to vote in Florida is that Florida does not have an income tax. NYers pretend that Florida is their home to avoid the NY income tax. I know several NYers who do that, and come to Florida to stay at their home only a few weeks out of the year.

There's a simple answer - require ID and allow an override by agreement of reps of both parties at the polling place. Stamp the hand of each override, the way we used to get stamped entering a bar with a cover charge.

But as he says, not everyone wants voting clean up. Guess which Party that might be..

[BigSkyFreeper]

Voter fraud and voter suppression of the black vote. Two weapons in the arsenal of the Liberals hunger for power.

>>Cuyahoga County, Ohio<<

This is a true story!!! I lived there.
My Dad remained on the voter sheets 10 years after his death, my mom was still there when I left in 1997. Every year I would tell the workers that these people were dead and every year they would pop up again.

>>It is illegal to register to vote simultaneously in different jurisdictions, but scofflaws have little to worry about.

So if one moves out of state, is one required to notify that state's election board before registering in another state?

[Cultural Jihad]

A RECENT story that didn't get nearly the attention it deserved was the New York Daily News report that 46,000 registered New York City voters are also registered to vote in Florida.

Rather than a 537 vote difference in Florida, it was really a 46,537 vote difference once you subtract the likely New York City cheaters.

I believe the Democrats are going to legally challenge Absentee Military Ballots again, which is why I wrote a column on my website called "They Need Our Help."

I have also emailed conservatives like Sean Hannity and Michael Medved who regulary spar with high level Democrats requesting they ask liberals about this. I can't listen to everything so I don't know if they have. Here is my letter to the editor of our local paper - not published of course.

----------------------------

It is a well known fact that during the 2000 election the Democrats sent teams of lawyers to challenge and disqualify absentee military votes throughout Florida. Technicalities such as no postage mark were cited. (Military mail is somtimes not postmarked.) Later it was found that most were wrongly disqualified, but it was too late to reinstate them. An estimated 1,500 absentee military votes were never counted in Florida.

Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry recently told the NAACP in a speech that his campaign would provide teams of lawyers "in your cities" to "monitor elections and enforce the law." Are Democratic legal teams again planning to challenge the absentee votes of our overseas troops on technicalities?

----------------------------

Many liberal lawyers will be on the side of John Edwards, of course and will have plenty of time, money and legal shennanigans to donate to him and Kerry. If there are any patriotic lawyers out there, be they Republican, Libertarian or even patriotic Democrats, they should immediately volunteer to the Bush campaign to help fight the gigantic legal battle this campaign will surely generate.

[YOUGOTIT]

I read someplace where most were democrats and they voted in New York and Florida. So Bush won Florida by 45,000 votes because of the illegal votes by the democrat snow bunnies.
