Inquiry urged after 30 voters tried to cast ballot twice (FORT LAUDERDALE)

FORT LAUDERDALE · Broward County prosecutors should investigate about 30 registered voters who attempted to cast ballots twice in last week's election, county officials said Friday.

Members of the Broward County canvassing board, meeting to officially certify the county's election results late Friday afternoon, said they were concerned about voters who cast ballots by touch-screen voting machine at early-voting sites in the days before Nov. 2, then tried to cast paper ballots at the precincts on Election Day.

Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes said she had spoken with representatives of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement about such voters.

Earlier, board members tallied ballots for 87 Broward voters serving in the military.

Federal law allows election officials to count overseas ballots from voters serving in the armed forces up to 10 days after an election. The ballots had to be postmarked by Nov. 2, and received by Snipes' office by 5 p.m. Friday.

We can't possibly interfere with the right of a Rat to vote over and over and over again.

Just like counting ballots. Count them over and over and over again, until you end up with the result you like.

Now let's think carefully about this? Green voters, perhaps? Stupid Republicans? Libertarians?

No, that's not probable, you say? Then who else could it possibly be?:)

Since no party affiliation was mentioned in the article you can be assured that all 30 were sKerry Hitlery Clintoonistas.

If they caught 30 you can be sure there were more than that. I imagine the excuse will be that they forgot that they early voted. I'd love to see them squirming on the stand when the prosecutor asks "let me get this straight ... you forgot how you stood in line for several hours to cast your early vote?"

The local dem precinct ward people, acting under McAuliffe's orders, gets some older, black, solid union member, party democrats and has them early vote and then try to vote again in person on election day, paying each of the the standard $100 per vote. Most get through. But, the ones that don't are photographed and become part of the dem folklore, "When I tried to vote at my local voting place, mean old white Republican Christian bigot denied me the right to do so. I'm black and I've been disenfranchised just because I'm black." We'll be seeing these tapes for a 100 years.

If Florida can prove the case, each of these theives should do the max!

One could hold this leads to prosecutions especially in light of all past ranting / alleging "disenfranchisement" of certain groups in Florida.

I won't hold my breath.

Can we hear it now? Democrat protesters screaming, "Count all the votes!"

Do you have evidence for your $100 per failed double-vote scheme?

Sadly, I'm not as outraged as I should be because, and I'll say again it's shocking I'm not apoplectic here... because, damn it, this doesn't surprise me at all! It doesn't even register on the outrage meter. How jaded is that?

Don't lose hope regarding Sandy Berger. The first Enron indictments took a long time to come down. Justice is slow in high-profile cases.

""let me get this straight ... you forgot how you stood in line for several hours to cast your early vote?""

'Honest, Judge. I though it was the flue shot line. The nice receptionist told me to step behind the curtain after I signed in. I got tired waiting for the doctor, so I just played with the slot machine. It was free! All I had to do was pull the handle.'

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)."
