Obama Campaign Counsel: "Voter registration impropriety does not constitute actual vote fraud"

Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/17/08 | Robert F. Bauer, Obama campaign counsel

[Winged Hussar]

See page 5 of the .pdf document.

Voter registration impropriety does not constitute actual vote fraud. Indeed, despite strenuous effort there is not documented evidence of anything but isolated and sporadic instances of voter fraud. See Lipton, In 5-year Effort, Scant Evidence of Voter Fraud, New York Times, April 12, 2007.

Right, Bobby, "Voter registration impropriety does not constitute actual vote fraud," provided that Mickey Mouse, Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, Jive Turkey, and perhaps a million more registrants with less prominent names are purged from the rolls before Election Day.

Also, I think I will bring to the DOJ's attention the letter that Hillary Clinton's campaign counsel sent the Nevada Democratic Party with serious allegations that Obama's own campaign perpetrated actual voter intimidation. Yes, the DOJ should look into all aspects of this case.

The truth: subjective in Obama’s world. :)

Kind of like being sort of pregnant - or not.

[RichInOC]

Oh, now who’s being naive, Bob?

[Doug TX]

This is the exact same case the huckster made last night while interviewing his pal al sharpton.

[freekitty]

It’s voter fraud no matter how you dress the pig.

“Voter registration impropriety does not constitute actual vote fraud.”

That’s like saying snatching a live baby from the womb isn’t murder. Just because Obama advisors and “pro abortion” fans use euphemisims, does not alter the truth. Improperly registering people to vote IS VOTER FRAUD...snatching a baby from its womb before it is born is MURDER!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

In Pa. it’s considered Perjury. Up to 7 years. AND,,,, ACORN is responsible for the people making up these fake registrations. ACORN pays these people. Does ACORN get any tax money???? That’s aiding and abetting fraud on the American people!

Voter registration impropriety does not constitute actual vote fraud.

Voter registration impropriety does not constitute IS A FAILED ATTEMPT AT actual vote fraud.

[Enterprise]

Indeed! And I suppose if the police do a raid on a motel room and find the occupants in possession of hundreds of false IDs, passports, credit cards and PINs it’s not a crime unless they actually USE these items!

[RobinOfKingston]

Looks like maybe it still depends on the meaning of “is.”

[MarkL]

No, voter registration fraud doesn't mean that fraudulent votes have been cast. But couple that with the dems fight against requiring voter ID means that what we've got here is a criminal conspiracy to commit voter fraud. And in many jurisdictions, voter registration fraud IS a criminal act. Just ask the ACORN workers who have been convicted and are in prison in Missouri.

There needs to be a RICO investigation against the dems and ACORN.

Not yet anyway! Even though Ohio has to have equal numbers of poll workers of each party, when I was asked in my old neighborhood if I wanted to work the polls by the local councilperson I was told that they needed a republican but if I was willing all I had to do was change my registration. I was already republican but that really struck me about how in the inner city that the republicans sitting there are only faux republicans and how easy it would be for them to vote anyone’s vote who didn’t show up at 7:30 after the polls close.

[Anti-Bubba182]

They have buckets of nerve. I’ll give them that.

[Let's Roll]

You're right, legal genius, it constitutes intent to commit actual vote fraud!

[Jane Austen]

I would call them corrupt. Of course it is fraud. MSNBC has crossed the line into the bizarre and illogical with blaming those opposed to voter fraud and rationalizing the behavior of those committing it.
