More Than 800 Voter Registration Cards Being Investigated
AKRON, Ohio -- The state of Ohio is stepping in to investigate possible voter fraud in Summit County. And the Lake County prosecutor is also looking into fraud there.
More than 800 voter registration cards in Summit County are under investigation, NewsChannel5 reported.
The Board of Elections said the voter registration cards in question are for addresses that don't exist, spelling mistakes or have similar handwriting.
Fifty of those questionable cards apparently came from the AFL-CIO central office in Cleveland, WEWS reported.
The AFL-CIO said it's registering thousands of union members this year, and had no knowledge of the faulty cards, which are filled out by volunteers.
AFL-CIO Executive Secretary John Ryan told NewsChannel5’s partner The Akron Beacon Journal that "it's not only a felony, but it's playing with democracy in a dangerous, horrible way."
Elections officials said the bogus cards were kicked out by the computer and forwarded to state investigators.
In the meantime in Lake County, elections officials said some voter advocacy groups are forging registration cards.
In one example, a man who's been dead for 20 years is apparently a new registered voter.
And in another case, it looks as if an entire neighborhood will be out of town on Election Day. Everyone there applied for absentee ballots.
This fraud comes on the heels of a report NewsChannel5 did just Wednesday on identity theft and voter registration. (Read Report)
Never give out your full social security number if asked. Elections officials only require the last four digits for verification.
Everyone is assuming this guy is really dead. What if...
Excellent story. Would love to see stories like this for all fifty states--not holding my breath for the District of Columbia, however.
Uh huh. Sure. They had no idea.
I hope other states are working just as hard to check for voter fraud. I can imagine how long the democrats have gotten away with this stuff.
Florida had to clean out felon votes. NY/Florida found thousands of mutable voters, and this is the second time a left wing union has been busted for vote fraud. Then, of course, there's the hanging and dimpled chads from trying to punch through too many ballots at once.
That would be my guess as to their affiliation...
Just as my tagline says...
My grandparents voted Republican till the day they died ... they have voted Demoncratic ever since
The press confronts the guilty party: "Why did you register a dead man?"
Guilty party: "Well, if this person were alive today, he would vote for Kerry!!! It's the intent that matters!!"
We need to move full-speed ahead towards a comprehensive biometric national identification program.
Just think of it...no charisma in the White House, no bungled Bay of Pigs invasion, perhaps no Berlin Wall (and certainly no "I am a jelly doughnut" speech in Berlin), no Cuban missile crisis, no Vietnam War.
Dead vote in unionized Akron? That's news?
That's unions for you. When they're not beating up three year olds.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
After all just because a person is an illegal alien, in prison, or dead doesn't mean they don't have rights.
It's only the unborn that doesn't have rights . Everybody knows that.
Just damn.

Dead people are very orderly. They do every thing in either alphabetical or chronological order. They also sit very quietly until it is their turn to vote.
As a volunteer at a nursing home, I took an 82-year old man to go vote. He had the right to vote but - he couldn't drive, couldn't write, couldn't remember his phone number or address, and watched CNN all day.
I barely could stand it.
The important point about this is that the institution where he lived had a group come in and register all of the residents, and get out their vote. I imagine this happens elsewhere. I shudder to think what else they told them after I went home.
But the labor unions became so strong that they ran all of the tire manufacturers out of Ohio. There hasn't been a single tire made in Akron in 20 years.
Reanimated corpse? Sue, zombies can move around and all that, but they're dead, they're...all messed up.
I suspect Carl Rove!
The more they conive the closer they bring our country to anarchy and then despotism.
Viva Franco!
Let's hear it for the Union Thugs doing what Union Thugs do best!
Keep it coming you Dems! One piece of information doesn't change the world. But one snowball followed by another, followed by another... and soon you have a critical mass, an avalanche, sweeping away your entire pathetic attempt to steal an election, or defraud the American people.
Speaking of the Avalanche...when's hockey coming back? I'm in denial right now.
