VOTER FRAUD has been a biennial issue for many years. Each two-year election cycle sees claims of voter fraud, discrimination, disenfranchisement, and debate. This year appeared to be no different until an Internet search revealed voter fraud this year and in the 2002 election has dramatically escalated. Most disturbing, voter fraud appears to be connected almost exclusively and entirely to the Democratic Party through its special interest constituents, or through democrat candidates...
While the Democratic Party itself steers clear of direct involvement in the voter fraud, nearly every claim of voter fraud comes from "get out the vote" organizations that the democrats hire, or their special interest constituents. In several of the documented cases of voter fraud, the democrats involved blame this on the vote gathering organizations. If this is the case, then why aren't the claims of vote fraud more evenly distributed? Republicans pay for vote gathering organizations as well and claims of vote fraud are minimal with them.

Dedicated to exposing DNC corruption.
Just in case you haven't already seen this one.
This story ties in with a post last night about how AFL/CIO thugs had stormed and trashed the GOP office in Orlando. This same act was carried out in about 20 other cities at the same time -- just before the 6pm news and before the VP debate. This sounds like a Terry McAwful and/or James Carvile scheme. It also smells like Nazi brown shirt tactics. WAKE UP AMERICA - THE DNC HATES THIS COUNTRY.
-- we all need to be clear about the danger this issue poses-- this is the October Surprise from the Left, and they are not even being subtle about it- why should they, with the compliant media, news & entertainment divisions, on their side.
I used to be annoyed about people that wanted to replace punchcard ballots with electronic voting, because supposedly the punch cards confuse stupid people. I was content with punch cards or any other non-electronic system. But more recently I've realized that punch cards are a serious fraud risk. If you stack up a few hundred cards, you can punch a nail through them and cast hundreds of votes at a time. We really need to ban punch cards for this reason.
I think the best system is the fill-in-the-circle system. I can't think of any way to rapidly fill out hundreds of those at a time. Also, the handwritten ink serves as a sort of fingerprint to show that the circle was filled in by a real person, not a machine.
The counting machines also should be programmed to detect statistical oddities, like an unusually long string of same votes, or high frequency of invalid ballots. We definitely need to stay away from electronic voting - a system like that has horrible worst case fraud potential. An inefficient system can actually be desirable where it makes fraud more difficult.
A very strange incident appeared in my local paper today. An office of the registrar of voters in another Florida county reported receiving about 1000 reregistrations (mostly for students) in which the party affiliation was changed to REPUBLICAN. The applications were so similar, made out by the same hand, etc. that the office workers noticed it immediately.
I wonder if the Dems are doing this: creating obvious, easily detected voter fraud attempts that make it seem as if the GOP was behind it. A similar thing happened in Tampa, with fraudulent reregistrations; in that case, the group that was doing the "reregistration" was ACORN, but the people were being registered as Republicans.
Since being registered as one party or another has no effect on the voter's ability to vote for either candidate, and since the fraud is usually crudely done and easily detected, I think it's probably a Dem tactic to (a) call into question all legitimate GOP registrations; and (b) shift the focus of voter fraud away from the Dems (where it belongs)and muddy the waters so much that investigation will be very difficult.
I suspect you are right- one of the Clinton-era tactics was the "everybody does it" smear.
On the radio yesterday, they cut to the ABC news segment for a few minutes. ABC reported about the amazingly high voter registration in battleground states, and then played a quote from the New Voter Project to explain why so many people were registering. They actually quoted the New Voter Project, without even flinching, even though that's the group that has already been caught filing thousands of bad/fraudulent registrations.
more on the votefraud.
methinks someone needs to generate a voterfraud database and collect all articles on it under one roof.
if I knew how to do this, I would.
this is going to be one of the most important issues of the election itself.
we really need to track it and castrate all such vote-fraud efforts ahead of time.
Yes, and ACORN is another "community activist group" with a bad track record in this. I think a blatant attempt is being made to confuse the situation so much that the election, unless it's a Bush landslide, will have to end in the courts. It is also an attempt to ensure that once it gets to the courts, the fraud will be almost impossible to track back to its source (and of course the courts will have to err on the side of the Dems, who will claim their felons - er, I mean, voters - are the victims of mass "disenfranchisement").
THANKS TONS.
Sent to my email list the URL of the doc listing so many other links.
FYI
I think most of us have known for quite awhile that Democrats will cheat to win. But I am more worried this election year than any other because of the pure hatred and ignorance many democrats have for Bush. I have no doubt they are committing fraud in this election and I think it's worse than in 2000. I agree we have to do everything we can to stop this fraud and bring it to public attention. We can't just talk about it if we aren't prepared to do whatever we can in our current position to fix the problem. I just hope that the Bush Campaign and the RNC are taking this very serious and have equal or even more resource's to find and prevent these things from happening before the election and on election day. We need an equal amount of lawyers at these polling places if not more. This is a very serious threat and I think the election fraud committed by the Democrats this election is worse than it has been in quite awhile. We have to do whatever it takes to prevent this and get President George W. Bush Re-elected this November.
