Voter Fraud Expected to Be Rampant
NY Post ^ | 10/5/2008 | John Fund

Our nation may be on the brink of repeating the 2000 Florida election debacle, but this time in several states, with allegations of voter fraud, intimidation and flawed voting machines added to the generalized chaos that sent Bush v. Gore to the Supreme Court for overtime.

"If you think of election problems as akin to forest fires, the woods are no drier than they were in 2000, but many more people have matches," says Doug Chapin, editor of the nonpartisan Electionline.org.

The real battle that could decide this election may be fought by the squadrons of lawyers both sides have hired to prepare Florida-style challenges to the results in any close state. Once again, America's sloppy, fraud-prone voting system could turn Election Day into an Election Month of court challenges.

Election lawsuits are already piling up. A new federal mandate requires that all voters be allowed to cast a provisional ballot if their names don't appear on registration lists. Liberal groups are suing to have such ballots counted even if they are cast in precincts where the voter doesn't live. If the number of provisional ballots exceeds the margin of victory in the Senate race, you can bet lawyers will argue that "every vote must count," regardless of eligibility. Candidates may have to hope their vote totals are beyond the "margin of litigation."

I think it’s time for the DOJ to step in after the election and start checking out some of Obammie’s “votes.”

NOW?!?!?!?!?!

It should have been done back in '01!!!!!!!

Yeah, yeah. I know. Better late than never. /s

I only said “after the election” because most people, especially white people, are afraid to do ANYTHING that might hurt the messiah’s chances of getting “elected.” He’s going to be “historical” don’t you know. As if anyone in this country actually cares about our history.

The best way to deal with voter fraud is to turn out in such huge numbers that there can be no doubt. A landslide similar to Reagan’s is a bit of a stretch, but an incontrovertible win would cancel out a lot of ACORN fake votes.

I would like the law to do something now. I think in Ohio they are raping the ballot boxes as we speak.

It would be good if Freepers could think of some technique that would make the voter fraud thing moot. Somethng that could be implemnted quickly and easily nationwide, that would absolutely stop it. Something like the purple finger of Iraq.

Do those states have same day votes when an absentee ballot is requested too? Well, that might really make it worthwhile to take the trip then.

Scratch the good state of Indiana, our great and wonderful Sec. of State Todd Rokita has put a good dent in their fraudulent voting schemes! Indiana Requires a Picture ID to vote and the voting records are cleaned and updated regularly to prevent the democRATS from doing their dirty tricks...

Come to Wisconsin. Make use of the help that ACORN will be happy to provide. You’ll probably be able to hook on to one of their buses pulling out of Chicago. All you need here is someone vouching for you. With that you can register on the spot & vote at the same time. Far as I know, they might take you to several different locals, so you can do your civic duty more than once. (Please, don’t actually vote, but if you can document actual fraud, report it!)
