Welcome to FR. If you had been following all the NM info on the site, you would have a different opinion. Those of us who live here remember how a "lost" ballot box was found that gave the state to Gore in 2000. Check out http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profiles?location=79
I think you're misinterpreting the initials "O.J.". IIRC, Fund writes for the Opinion Journal. As far as I know, he's never written anything about O.J. Simpson.
Statistics. The is REAL bad. These were the people who were CAUGHT. Any six sigma person will tell you that finding fraud at this rate means you have a MUCH bigger problem, because you cant sample all places at all times.
I suspect that you should do a little thinking and studying before you make such preposterous comments.
John Fund is a very well known conservative writer, author of "Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy". He writes the weekly "Political Diary" column for OpinionJournal.com (the Wall Street Journal's on-line service) and is a member of the editorial board of the WSJ.
You can't be serious. 53 people voted more than once. That's at least 103 votes. One person voted 3 times! That waters down the legal vote. Who do they think they are? Those are only the ones who got caught. In a close race it would have thrown it to someone who should have lost. One prosecution at a time is what should be done.
Um, the source is pretty respected conservative commentator, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, and a frequent contributor to the WSJ Opinion Journal: hhttp://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110005866
He is also the author of the popular book "Stealing Elections" which I bought and find extremely eye opening and written with a fair perspective on voter fraud on both sides of the isle. I disagree with you on N.M., the system is NOT working when it is so easy to vote multiple times, or when you are ineligible to vote. Just because a few were caught (and if we didn't have observers, I wouldn't count on these) doesn't mean things are ok. Read the thread by the GOP observer in Philly (a lawyer) - gross corruption by the Dems handling the voting precinct - 2000+ votes for Kerry, 3 for Bush. Dems having OBSERVERS hand out campaign literatur, etc. Fraud is a big problem in our election system, it needs to be fixed.
like it did in 2000 when Bush won by about 600 votes - and then , oh my, they "found" a box of ballots that hadn't been counted - EVERY ONE for Gore - which put him over by a few hundred...
Richardson is known for crooked politics - and doesn't anyone remember this scandal? (Had it been a republican, they would've been wearing blaze orange)
"There is more bad news for besieged Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, already scrambling to deal with horrendous security lapses at the nation's top nuclear-weapons lab...
The Department of Energy under Secretary Bill Richardson has failed to improve on lax security at U.S. nuclear labs and continues to be plagued by new lapses. two computer hard drives containing top-secret bomb designs recently went missing under suspicious circumstances -- altered reports and..." -
the only system working in New Mexico is fraud.
You're just too funny.
1. We are talking about hundreds of provisional ballots, ballots that leftists wanted to use to cheat with.
2. John Fund isn't going anywhere soon. He's been working for WSJ and is a well known writer--to conservatives.
3. The whole reason you have provisional ballots is the left saw an opportunity to go motor voter one further and try to sneak in voters who weren't legal to register AGAIN.
4. We understand how the process works. We also understand how the RATS game the system. The system only works when Republicans win with a big enough margin so RATS like Kerry have to concede--public opinion is that overwhelming.
this is 2% - and who knows what else goes on with the non-provisional ballots? 2% was a LOT in this election. 2% in Bush's favor makes this an electoral landslide.
