She said it wasn't legal because we could sell our votes. I didn't understand how, though.

My memory on this is fuzzy (I wasn't there), but I seem to recall hearing that you used to get some sort of receipt, and Tammany Hall (maybe) would pay off the bribes when the proper receipt was turned in to show a "correct" vote.

The old method used in Texas to elect Lyndon Johnson to the Senate in 1948 involved a Demonrat political boss standing in plain sight outside of each corrupted precinct (so many to count and so little time). The boss had several ballots in hand filled out as the machine wished. A voter (actually thousands of them) would approach the boss, take the ballot and receive a blank ballot from election authorties. The voter would go behind the curtain and go through the motions of filling out a ballot, emerge and submit the premarked ballot to election officials and bring the blank ballot back to the boss for $5 cash.

This method was detailed at greater length by Robert Caro in the first volume of his multi-volume biography of Lyndon Johnson in a passage about LBJ's opponent Coke Stephenson (a great man) and the legendary but retired Texas Ranger Roy Hamer (employed by Coke Stephenson) being located on a nearby hill in Duval County with binoculars and observing the Democrat boss (aka "the Duke of Duval County") transacting this business at the polling place. It seems more than likely that LBJ was defeated in 1948 but a Truman appointed federal judge impounded the relevant ballot boxes and the ballots, as I recall, disappeared, leaving the dishonest count of them to stand electing "Landslide Lyndon" by about 100 out of thousands of stolen votes.

This is only ONE of MANY patented Demonrat election stealing schemes.

A plea to Freepers~
Perhaps if we E-mail or Fax or call Brit Hume, Bill O'riley
Fox news, as well as Radio Station Host that are friends to Conservatives & fair play. They will at least alert the public to this disgrace.
On my local news and in my local paper not one word of this outrage has been reported. My guess is the DBM want this to slip under the radar. The left knows 90% of American voters do agree with ID voting. Hence, they plan to sneak in another "win" for Democrats by using the Black Plague i.e. Activist Judges.
