Voter Fraud stories have been done by many local news agencies. However, the "BIG" picture has been ignored. In order to keep it in the correct propective we need to see the overall picture. Please ad any links to other articles and states that have already been working on the "voter fraud" issue. We do appreciate what local law enforcer and media have been doing to bring this to the attention of the MSM.....Now someone needs to connect the dots.
:-) I just wanted the clickable links.
THere are a couple of lists of them on the thread....Were working on a spread sheet so patterns become more visable. Have found several duplicates. SOrry.
Feel free to make a list of clickable links and post it.

Exposed: Scandal of double voters
by RUSS BUETTNER, Daily News
August 21st, 2004
Some 46,000 New Yorkers are registered to vote in both the city and Florida, ...Registering in two places is illegal in both states, ...
snip
But The News found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters have voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
One was Norman Siegel, 84, who is registered as a Republican in both Pinellas Park, Fla., and Briarwood, Queens. Siegel has voted twice in seven elections, including the last four presidential races, records show.
Officials in both states acknowledge that voting in multiple states is something of a perfect crime, one officials don't have the means to catch.
"I can't imagine how the supervisors would have access to that information," said Jenny Nash, spokeswoman for the Florida secretary of state. "As far as I know, cross-state registry has not been discussed."
The News' investigation also found:
Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68% are Democrats, 12% are Republicans and 16% didn't claim a party.
Nearly 1,700 of those registered in both states requested that absentee ballots be mailed to their home in the other state, where they are also registered. But that doesn't raise red flags with officials in either place.
Efforts to prevent people from registering and voting in more than one state rely mostly on the honor system.
New registrants are required to supply a prior address, which kicks in a notification process to election officials in the other jurisdiction. Officials also cross-check change-of-address records from the U.S. Postal Service.
Glenda Hood, the Florida secretary of state appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2002, created a list of felons to be purged from the voter rolls. But the methodology used to create the list guaranteed few Hispanics, who typically vote Republican in Florida, would be purged, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.
In another problem, The Miami Herald reported that more than 2,000 convicted felons on the list had regained their voting rights after receiving clemency. Hood has opened an internal investigation.
An advocacy group, People for the American Way, has asked U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft to open a federal probe.
snip
The Help America Vote Act of 2002, passed in response to the 2000 election debacle, requires all states to create statewide voter registration databases by Jan. 1, 2006.
Florida already has created the statewide registry, though it doesn't yet fully comply with the new law.
Like most things in Albany, a bill needed to implement the federal law is stalled in the Legislature, so even the federal money already received can't be spent.
