How to steal an election Jeff Jacoby (archive)

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. 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. Can 1,000 fraudulent votes change an election? Well, George W. Bush won Florida in 2000 by just 537 votes.
It is illegal to register to vote simultaneously in different jurisdictions, but scofflaws have little to worry about. As the Daily News noted, "efforts to prevent people from registering and voting in more than one state rely mostly on the honor system." Those who break the law rarely face prosecution or serious punishment. It's easy -- and painless -- to cheat.

This is just mindboggling how stupid our election laws are.

Who is fixing this before Nov 2?
This explains the extra 30000 new DNC voter registrations in FL
"Who is fixing this before Nov 2?"
Calling Jeb Bush!!!
Please use the original titles when posting articles. Thanks.
Jeb and Pataki need to talk.
The Republican party can offset the fraud with a massive turnout of our voters along with lawyers to match any RAT lawyer at the polling place, along with poll watchers. I do not understand, in federal elections especially, why voter ID cannot be required by federal law. Each fraudulent vote cancels a legitimate one, depriving legal voters of their right to a fair election.
Great post. Thanks!

Illegal aliens have been registered, too, since under Motor Voter, any recipient of government benefits can sign up to vote, no questions asked. Did that wide-open door to fraud cost former the GOP's Robert Dornan his seat in Congress? An investigation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service following Dornan's 1996 defeat by Democrat Loretta Sanchez found that 4,023 noncitizens may have cast ballots in that election. Dornan lost by 984 votes. |
