Earlier this month, someone leaked details of an unpublished "preliminary" report commissioned by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to USA Today that disputed the widespread belief that voter fraud is rampant in some areas of the country: There "is widespread but not unanimous agreement that there is little polling-place fraud, or at least much less than is claimed, including voter impersonation, 'dead' voters, non-citizen voting and felon voters."
The key phrase is "not unanimous." Various people who reviewed the report differed on its accuracy, USA Today reports:
Jon Greenbaum of the liberal Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law says it was convincing. … Thor Hearne, counsel to the American Center for Voting Rights, notes that the Justice Department has sued Missouri for having ineligible voters registered, while dead people have turned up on the registration rolls in Michigan."
Which is why the election commission hasn't yet released it. Right? Not according to the MSM. The spin is that the election commission has been sitting on the report for four months to "bury its finding that voter fraud had been exaggerated," according to columnist John Fund, an expert in voter fraud and author of the book Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.
Writing in OpinionJournal’s Political Diary (e-mail subscription required), Fund reports that the document is not a "preliminary" report, but a "status report" on the progress of the study. And when the final report is issued – possibly before year’s end – initial news stories about its findings are not likely to hold up.
NOTE: The original source contains a link to a PDF of the "preliminary" voter fraud report.
The commission is full of baloney. I have seen vote fraud in every election that I ever worked in. How about precincts where 50% of the registered voters are non-existent phantoms? How about a precinct where almost every signature is in the same handwriting? (The clerks simply cast a ballot for every registered voter at the end of the day). How about busloads of union members going from one precinct to the next voting multiple times?
Darth, what state are you from anyway? Michigan?
I have to ask, did you report what you saw, and if so, what was the response?
See my extensive earlier posts from 1996 to now. The Congressional district where I found 50% phantoms was in CA (Bob Dornan's district when he lost his seat to fraud in 1996). The precinct with the signatures in identical handwriting is in Port Arthur, TX. The union members in buses were brought from Louisiana to Beaumont, TX to vote in Nick Lampson in the 1996 special election where Steve Stockman lost his seat (I was not there; Stockman's poll watchers reported this incident). I have RETAINED WRITTEN EVIDENCE AND DOCUMENTATION OF THE FRAUD IN EVERY CASE. Also see my previous post from the 2000 election where I blocked over 50 fraudulent votes in a precinct in Houston, TX when I was a Poll Watcher. The average citizen is blissfully unaware of the organized fraud perpetrated by the democrats in every election. IF WE COULD LIMIT THE VOTE FRAUD, WE WOULD NEVER LOSE ANOTHER ELECTION!
When I workled as a poll watcher in 2002 a poll worker showed me thhat 1/3 of the people on the rolls were dead. Maybe they are te ones who supposedly voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000, Holocaust survivors, you know.
The best way to attack vote fraud is to spend a lot of time between elections digging up dead voters, felons, and phantoms on the official Voter Rolls. I went door-to-door in CA to discover the phantoms. There are many methods used by the vote fraud criminals and they vary from state to state.
This is precisely why Dems and Libs fight laws requiring some form of ID. A non-drivers' license is easy to get - my elderly mother, who had never driven in her life, got one. Of course, any ID can be forged but still it's something.
And how about Dems and Libs pushing to get voting rights for felons? I guess it makes sense: felons are their natural consituency.
We need a national law with serious prison time for anyone committing fraud in a national election. It would be incredibly easy to lock up a few thousand dim activists. After all, vote fraud robs the electorate of choice. Any congresscritters out there in Freeperland?
If DEAD people are on the rolls and are marked down as having voted it's FRAUD, plain and simple.
Democrats would win very few elections if voter fraud was eliminated. That is why they hate the thought of photo ID. It makes it easier for illegals and dead democrats to vote. God help the country if these @#$%#$@# take over.
