(Columbia) Oct. 20, 2004 - A federally funded group based in Columbia has found itself in a mess after it sent bulk mail to six of South Carolina's poorest counties promoting a "Vaccinate and Vote" program.
Carolina Medical Review gets money to promote immunizations. It sent out a mailing to 46,000 Medicare recipients that encourages people to get flu shots on November 2nd at the polls. Carolina Medical spokeswoman Diana Zona says four days after the notices went out, news broke that British regulators had shut down a major supplier of vaccine.
State Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson said Tuesday that the mailing reeks of irresponsibility and seems politically motivated. He wants the group to mail letters to the same residents telling them not to expect to vote and get a flu shot, "I'm not one to spend anyone else's money here, but I'm telling you what they did was wrong, unfortunate and they shouldn't have done it. And a lot of times you need to correct your actions when something is that inappropriate and that was inappropriate."
Dawson says the mailing to thousands of Medicare recipients appears to have targeted at least three Democratic-leaning counties, but he claims that's not the real problem, "It really wouldn't matter to me where that message went. It was wrong to use that venue and it was wrong to make that promise to senior citizens here in South Carolina."
In Columbia on Wednesday afternoon for a taping of "Newswatch," Democratic Party Chairman Joe Erwin told WIS he knew nothing about the flu shot offer.
Zona says the group has no plans to mail additional letters.

How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud
1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).
2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).
3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)
4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).
5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)
6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).
7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).
8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).
9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).
10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."

WE MUST FIGHT VOTE FRAUD!
Yes, we must and it isn't an easy task since we have those within the Republican party that advocate doing just that since "they" do it.
As long as their are those who feel that we must stoop to the level of the opponent, then nothing will be done.
