JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The U.S. Attorney's Office announced Monday it is launching an investigating of nearly five dozen ballots cast in the November 2004 Presidential election.
Bill Scheu, the interim supervisor of elections, says there are 59 possible cases of double voting.
In 41 cases, early, absentee and election day voting were all used to cast more than one ballot, each of which were counted. In 18 cases, provisional ballots were prevented from being counted.
"I promised the voters of Duval County a fair, accurate, accessible and legal election. Unfortunately, these suspect votes have been cast, but it has been my goal to ensure proper legal action is taken against anyone who whose to compromise the integrity of the voting process," said Scheu.
The FBI is helping in the investigation.
Double voting is punishable with up to five years in prison.
We'll have more on this developing story on First Coast News beginning at 5 p.m
Where did this video come from? (And why does the guy sound like the character in Bowfinger?)
With all the vote fraud investigations going on, isn't
this the FIRST one we've read where the FEDS are
prosecuting? In E. St. Louis, wasn't that a local case?
I'm sure the Milwaukee indictment was local (other than
questioning witnesses)? Washington? Ohio? Where else?
I'd love to think this is only the beginning. Oh, please!,
let there be federal investigations going on all over the country.
Thanks! But even without the editing, the multi-voter (who appears to be in jail at the time of his interview) does sound like the character in Bowfinger. I can't remember his name, but the laugh was identical. Too funny! Well, it would be funnier with 34 votes less, I guess.
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)."

If Acorn registered this fellow to vote 35 times, and he voted more than 1 time, why is he wearing green and not orange?
I hope that a judge holds in contempt of court King County and Pierce County officials until they prosecute double voting cases and cases of felons having voted. Based on today's newspaper articles, they is no desire to charge illegal voters with the crimes they committed in two of the largest counties in Washington State
Throw those double voting senior snowbirds into jail and take away their social security for being terrorists.
