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.

True story. I know a born/dyed in the wool Democrat who got his job at the City of Milwaukee due to party affiliation (and technical competence, thank God) and has retired therefrom.

A decent guy, pro-life, Catholic.

Saw him at a party and mentioned the voting scams going on up here, whereupon he looked at me and VERY seriously said "So, what's a few votes here and there?" as though we were talking about PARKING TICKETS for cryin' out loud.

These guys actually believe that it's just, right, and moral to do whatever it takes...
