WHETHER or not Barack Obama wins election tomorrow, his campaign has exposed some gaping weaknesses in the electoral process - and some even more serious problems with today's mass media. The question is whether the political establishment will be willing to do anything about them.
On the electoral side, we've seen allegations of massive voter fraud, often backed up by actual arrests and investigations. The FBI has opened an investigation into the Obama-friendly group ACORN, which has been associated with fraudulent registrations and other misconduct in many jurisdictions.
In Indiana, CNN noted, of 5,000 registrations turned in, the first 2,000 turned out to be fraudulent. In Kansas City, officials found hundreds of bogus registrations. CNN also reported on the case of Clifton Mitchell, an ex-ACORN worker who served time in prison for voter fraud.
In Pennsylvania, ACORN worker Jemar Barksdale was arrested for voter fraud involving fake registrations. Meanwhile, the state of Ohio turned up 200,000 questionable voter registrations, but Ohio officials went to court to avoid having to respond. In Michigan, an ACORN worker has been charged with forgery. ACORN activists even tried to register Mickey Mouse to vote in Florida.
Indianapolis, meanwhile - along with some counties in Alabama and Mississippi - turned out to have more registrants than actual live voters. And in Connecticut, a group of journalism students discovered 8,500 dead people still on the rolls, people whose identities could be used to cast fraudulent ballots.

Obama has committed campaign finance fraud on a massive scale.
Will America elect this Marxist Thug-in-Chief tomorrow?
H*ll NO! Red States are going to come through for McCain along with some Blue States. A good portion of the American public are tired of being called names by ZERO, and we are not going to take it anymore.
We are fighting for the survival of our Nation as we no it and the Communist/Marxist/Socialist (all the same to me) is not going to win no matter how many polls he has slanted to his favor or drive-by media articles that ignored any investigation of the ‘annointed’ one. When the dust is settled, Obama will not win and investigations will be launched.
If we had a President with a spine, it would not have gotten this far when the Hillary campaign sent a letter to DOJ back in January about the fraud. Don’t know what happening to the President of 9/11, but the one now in the WH is nothing but a shell of that man!
I guess if this was criminal the FBI and the Justice Dept. would be looking into it, yeah right?
Sux when you constitutional rights are trampled on and nothing is done about it.
Well said :)
No.
Obama does not get it, to him, voter fraud is business as usual in Chicago. Acorn is a great org in Chicago, that is how one wins in Chicago.
No FBI nor Justice will do squat...They are jockeying for position to be re-education camp directors.
THE FIRST OBVIOUS MASSIVE FRAUD is probably the question of the HUGE FUNDINGS of OSAMABAMA’s campaign...
Is there an investigation?
But they shall also fail.
We need major registration reform in this country.
Every citizen with a Social Sec number should be automatically registered at 18 and your tax return address should determine what precinct you vote in. If you move then either your driver license would update your address for registration or your USPS change of address form could do the same. This is not rocket science and then you would have no ACORN’s going around registering Joe Blow and Mickey Mouse or whatever.
It makes no sense to have registration being done by private organizations who pay people to register the most voters.
Not to mention the criminally hypnotic Obama Trauma effect that his victim is subject to...dispicable is the word for it!
"Corruption by ACORN, Democrats, or illegal aliens is OK.
Complaining about it is now a felony. I support this message."
I predict massive, obvious fraud giving the election to Obama, with local authorities complicit in the fraud and state and federal authorities NOT investigating for fear of triggering riots.
Hmmm....a man of lawlessness, eh?
It seems like the Bush administration just lets everyone get away with everything. Sandy Burglar, illegal drug smugglers, ACORN, the dems in congress that caused the financial meltdown-Chirs Dodd, Barney Frank. We are becoming a nation where laws don’t matter anymore.
Now there is an idea I can live with....
So I’m guessing that regardless of who wins tomorrow the loser’s supporters will accuse the winner of stealing the election.
Scary, indeed. The way these loons are talking it is very possible, IF they win the WH.
And if my SS number is being used by Maria from Guatemala, which one of us gets to vote?
