Sorry for the vanity, but I cannot find an on-line source for this.
While I was driving into work this morning, I heard on the radio that Missouri has over 4.1 million people registered to vote--which is more than Missouri has eligible. Clearly there is vote fraud going on.
Has anyone else heard about this or was I hearing things?
I dont believe they said 4.1 million more voters registered. I think that was the total of either registerd voters or voting age citizens. I remember them quoting two numbers, 4.1 and 4.3 million. I believe what they said was Missouri had 4.1 million voters and 4.3 million people in the voting age population.
I'm hearing that in Rock Island County/Illinois there is an inordinate number of absentee ballots. That would be a very easy bit of fraudulent activity, don't you think?
The voter registry is a national disgrace. Theoretically, one is only supposed to be registered in one location, but the simple fact of the matter is that people move. Within the county, communication is unneeded. Within a state, communication is somewhat better, although there was a point in time in 2000 when I was registered in two counties (I only voted once, though....) because the one county never bothered to pass along to the other that I had registered there.
It might not be fraud -- equally likely is the breakdown in the system.
Personally, I want a national voter registry/photo ID card.
Given the fact that we don't need to show an i.d., this is going to be a true mess.
The problem is that people are paid to collect registrations. The more people you register, the more money you make. This is an invitation to fraud.
I heard that also. They also said that due to the frequent moving of people, it can take up to 4 years to purge a voter from the rolls. Often people are registered twice, but for the most part they only vote once if at all.
Also said that the database containing voter registration can not do any matching to find duplicate voters.
My take - If they required a drivers license number stored in the voter registration database, finding duplicates would be extremely easy to do.
If I was an evil dem, I would keep all of the returned voter notifications returned as "no longer at this address" and provide the names to democratic operatives to manufacture votes that match up with the voter lists at each precinct.
That's because we have Harry Sawyer running things. He does not put up with any BS. My wife has been a poll worker for years and they do things right. The Keys should be a model for the rest of the state.
It isn't "fraud". Its the effect of Cliton's Motor-Voter delaying purges of voting rolls. Here in Philadelphia, for example, we once again have more registered voters than eligible voters. But the voter registration office is also aware that 15% of the registrations (150,000) are stale, and they will purge them at the first legal opportunity after this election. Depending on who actually turns out as well, another 100-200,000 will be purged in 2006 after the next mid-term elections.
There were more voters than people according to the
U.S. CENSUS taken in 2000- I believe in:
South Dakota
Detroit
Philly
St. Louis
Memphis?- notsure
Yep more votes than people- notice who got the votes?
What is worse especially in Detroit- I believe Bush
lost by 95% of the vote (if I recall I think the true
number was 97%)
Here is a favorite of Demon party: pack up a van with
8 or so senior citizens drive them around to let's say
8 polling places if they get to vote muli times great!-
if they get caught -"their confused"- they let them go
to try another poll.
Bush lost in Minnesota by @ 2% (50,000 votes out of 2.4
million- think you can find 5000 rats statewide to vote
multiple times?
Stopping fraud could be easy- just videoing taping people
entering the polling place would probably stop most
of these scams
Democrats cannot play fair. They will swap crack cocaine for completed registration from like they did recently in Defiance, OH. A woman named Pitts working for the NAACP gave crack to a druggie named Stanton for more than 100 completed fraudulent registration forms. They did us a favor because now they'll have to tell the judge why Dick Tracy is registered.
I live in St. Louis County and I remember the 96 Presidential election. As I was standing in line a woman asked one of the election officials whether you had to be a citizen to vote. After a quick conference she was told no, she didnt need to be a citizen as long as she was registered. Pray for a clear cut election result. Otherwise we are in for more than thirty days in the courts. At least we have the Presidency until the courts make any final determination if it court battles extend beyond Jan 20.
That was my solution that I thought of last night.
Put a videotape to the entrance of the polling place.
Get two of those rotating bar systems they use at sporting events to count the number of people who enter. Put one at the entrance to the door, and another one before they go into the booth. Then ID everyone who comes in.
It's so simple, which is why the Dims would filibuster it.
Fight fraud, but look at the real numbers to see where it may occur.
As to a couple of other claims, Philly cast 561,171 votes in the 2000 presidential -- 60% of registration or less. Many registrations may be phony, but no one is voting 100% of the registrants -- anywhere. Cite chapter and verse if you can name a specific precinct. The task is to be vigilant poll-watchers and be sure that no phony (or even expired/moved) registrants become phony voters. It will not happen by the millions, but even by a few thousands can tip a close race
How do you spell voter fraud?
You spell it....NAACP, AFofL CIO, NEA, Democratic Party.
It is time for the MSM and Americans to closely examine our political system and make some serious reforms.
Florida and the Bannana Republic Courts of Florida shocked us, and we demanded voting reform to avoid hangind chads and such. Now it is time to examine and set limits on what the MSM can do in within 4 months of a major election to require broadcasters to comply with a code of conduct and fairness if using FCC regulated airwaves and for which there are serious fines if they violate those standards of conduct. It is also time to do serious federal criminal with long jail sentences federal election voter fraud laws and to procesecute those who commit fraud.
I watched on TV last night as the Sheriff's rep was interviewed about the NAACP lady who paid for voter registration efforts with crack cocaine. It is really time to become outraged. There are people out there who truly believe that anything is fair in politics. They need to become afraid of going to jail.
The figure seems in the ballpark. In 2000, approx 2.3 million voted with a voter turnout of almost 60%. Given population increases, it is plausible that 4.1 million have registered, but that would mean that almost everyone eligible has registered. Missouri has a population (2003) of 5.7 million.
In Colorado Donnetta Davison last week said there may be as much as 30% fraudulent registrations here.
In Philadelphia in the last election several districts voted 100% for Gore where the historical turn out for those districts was less that 50% of eligible voters.
The left wing is a wounded animal and the level of desperation they will go to is bounded by nothing. They are more dangerous than they have ever been. I would not be surprised to see outright violence at the polls given the willingness of the unions and their thugs to behave like brownshirted nazis.
Personally, I liked the Afghan approach. Mark thumbs with permanent ink !
Would eliminate at least the multiple voting.
Everybody knows that.
