Appearing on CNN's American Morning program Tuesday, Ohio's Republican Governor Bob Taft painted a disturbing picture of widespread vote fraud in his state.
Taft told CNN's Bill Hemmer that in four Ohio counties, more people have registered to vote than live in those counties and are of voting age.
"We have four counties where you have more voters registered than you have 18 and over population," Taft said.
Taft noted the role of Democrat 527 groups who have inflated Ohio's voter registeration rolls.
"We've had a lot of fraudulent voter registrations already, mostly by those 527 groups. There will be unprecedented scrutiny of this election on both sides," he said. Taft noted that many of these new registrations appear to be fraudulent.
"A lot of these voters don't have addresses," he said of the new registrations. "When they send the postcard out to them, after they register, that comes back undeliverable. You're talking about thousands of cases like that all across the State of Ohio."
Taft says he hopes the heightened level of scrutiny will lead to "an accurate count for the State of Ohio."
Taft said vote monitors will seek to "make sure that a voter is a citizen, 18 and over, and a resident of the precinct and county where they plan to vote."
You have to have people smart enough to pull it off and stupid enough to commit a crime. There will be some who will do it, but not thousands or tens of thousands.
Yes, your right. I just know I have to show my ID, I always have it redy.
Thank God Democrat vote fraud is finally being investigated.
It's so blatant now, its almost as if they WANT to have the process so undermined that our entire election process will be considered farcical. This couples with the mantra of Republicans supressing the vote (WTF?) to gurantee a challenge no matter how broad a margin for a Bush win.
As long as they catch these guys at the polls and make sure they are who they say they then hopefully they should weed out the fraud. Does anyone know if Ohio requires proof of identification to vote?
There ya go, you just answered my question. If IDs are required then the perpetrators will hopefully be caught if they try and vote frauduently (I hope I spelled that right).
And you are surprised? Why? Democrats. That says it all. Socialist, communists, democrats. Same meaning.
I dont believe our WI governor or our AG would do one thing to about vote fraud
...other than aid it that is....as long it is Democrat vote fraud
imo
another day, another development
Such fraud should be a death penalty offense. I'm serious; to cancel a legitimately cast vote with three fraudulent ballots is equal to high treason, in my book ... and by darn, I'M ONE OF THE SOVEREIGN OF THIS NATION, not the democrap party cheats and frauds.
Folks, you do realize that if the Dems are cheating in Ohio, they're probably at it EVERYWHERE?
Have we got enough people to watch every polling station?
Great idea !! Putting flyers out is also a good idea.
Do not know about Ohio but no ID is needed in Arizona.
Don't forget 'rat pollworkers. I hope every suspect precinct in Ohio has an effective GOP presence right through the wee hours.
Aye, aye SIR!!
LOL!
