Ellen Sauerbrey became an unwilling expert on election fraud following her 1994 bid to become Maryland's governor, which she lost to Democrat Parris Glendening. All during election night as precincts reported in, Sauerbrey remained ahead. Then, close to midnight, results started pouring in from precincts in Baltimore City, giving Glendening a 5,993-vote victory. It was the closest race in Maryland in 70 years.
To this day, Sauerbrey and her running mate, former Howard County police chief Paul Rappaport, believe the election was stolen by Democratic party operatives who stuffed ballot boxes and altered voting machines after the polls were closed.
Sauerbrey's failed challenge of the 1994 election results dragged through the courts for more than six months, and her opponents accused her of being a sore loser.
Drake Ferguson, a private investigator who headed a volunteer group that helped document Sauerbrey's allegations of voter fraud, found that 75 percent of Baltimore City's 408 precincts had "severe flaws" in election-day records, including election cards that were either unsigned or had names different from the printed name on them.
The group also claimed that 5,832 more votes were tallied in Baltimore City than there were voters who checked in at precincts or cast absentee ballots -- mirroring Glendening's election margin almost exactly. They found that keys to voting machines had been duplicated, and that some people had voted more than once. Sauerbrey even remembers investigators reporting back to her that they had traced the addresses listed by scores of Baltimore City voters to boarded-up houses and to vacant lots.
But Glendening's appointee to head the state board of elections, Linda Lamone, rejected Sauerbrey's allegations of fraud, noting that a Democratic trial court judge and the state attorney general, also a Democra
....Lamone said, "No, I do not think there is a problem."

Maybe...If Republicans and **all** conservative PACs had been serious about voter fraud after the stolen Maryland election we would not have had this mess with Al Franken.
**EVERY** Conservative PAC and think tank should organize a coalition that would start addressing voter fraud **NOW** so that election fraud can be eliminated or reduced in the next election.
Please remember that the Pro-lifers will **never** have pro-life judges if they don't start winning election. Carrying signs will never be enough to save the unborn. They MUST MUST MUST get involved in assuring fair elections.
We will **never** have a Fair Tax if this group can't get past the voter fraud.
Ditto for the NRA! and many, many other PAC who support conservative principles. They can not ignore voter fraud.
I am sorry to say that we are probably past being to correct this.
As long as dims are in power anywhere, we will have fraud. They will keep counting until they have the votes to win. The DBM is complicit in this.
I live in socialist Maryland.
Having Congress conduct this task force is like having the foxes investigate who’s been eating the chickens. Fraud is the dems’ friend. Do we REALLY think THIS Congress would do anything but to keep that golden-egg laying goose alive?
The bottom line is: as we just saw in MN and previously in WA, if the dems are within a 1,000 in an election, they will manufacture enough “votes” to “win.” The key is avoid close elections and win big.
Under the guise of “democracy” - which the Founders never intended - the lefties have gotten all these easy access to the voting booth laws passed. That allows them to stuff the ballot boxes in a variety of ways, including the votes of ineligible voter. non-existent voters, etc. Elections are now only sham events. A person may as well “text their vote” like on American Idol or one of those other idiotic TV shows. The Republic is gone and is not going to be reclaimed or re-established through voting.
Republicans are too comfortable sitting around and waiting for their ox to be gored. Talk radio and conservative voices whine and cry and kvetch all the way to the bank - joe the plumber has no where to go for solace save the talking heads and conservative pundits.....
The only way that the Republican party can stop the hemmoraging of public confidence is to get in the face of liberals. Avoiding political conflict gives the democrats more space in which to steal elections and makes republicans look weak and helpless.....
Google the “Secretary of State Project”. Where is ours?
I remember that election well. The state had cleaned up it’s voter rolls in ALL but BALTIMORE CITY!
The election of the Muslim Messiah and his cohorts was the result of planned voter fraud and donor fraud which is standard practice of corrupt Liberals. Without voter fraud, they wouldn’t exist. It’s a wonder they can live in the light of day for they crawl out of their sewers at night.
Maybe we could appeal to the IDF to attack congress. Why are Repubs. so damned self-centered with the present moment that they loose sight of the fact that it might be their last? Why don’t we fight dirty?
I don’t know what you mean by “ours”. If it means that there should be some means of advancing a “Republican” candidate or agenda, I hardly see the point. Our nation is controlled by “factions”, i.e., parites against which the Founders warned and they are nothing more than large corporations known as the RNC or the DNC. As far as I’m concerned, they’re both just putting on a show for the suckers while the make sure the governing class continues to be the governing class.
Maryland Freak State Ping - oldie but a goodie!
"In 1996, 11 percent of the people voting in Maryland were non-citizens," Marshall believes. Out of the 1,793,991 votes officially cast, that amounts to 197,339 illegal votes. Then add to the 11% the illegal voting done by Democrats who ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS.
How can conservatives overcome 11% of illegal immigrant voting plus all the other fraud? Everyone of those votes stole a vote from a republican. It is irrational for anyone to expect Republicans to make up for 11% fraud???? Amazingly occasionally they do.
Also...the win needed in Maryland was nearly 6,000 votes...not a merely 1,000.
It is not rational for Republicans to need win elections by having 61% of honest people voting Republican. Then to ad insult to injury they must have at least 5% MORE just to avoid recount fiascoes. That adds up to winning 66to 70% of the honest vote.
What **really** steams me is when Republicans do win election they do NOTHING about it!!! What have Bush prosecutors done in **8** YEARS!!!!??? They are too worried about being compassionate, reaching across the aisle, and not hurting anyone's feeling. ( BARF!)
By the way, I lived in Cecil County, Maryland, for 18 years. We finally fled to a red state in 2000.
Of course the election was stolen.
Howard Dean had the Iowa caucus stolen from him and given to Kerry.
The left loves to trample over their constituents and their own pols.
Washington State stole the election for Gregoire.
Just a tad late.
? Why don’t we fight dirty?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’d be thrilled if they fought clean. For instance what did Bush prosecutors do about voter fraud in the past 8 years?
Answer: Nearly nothing!
The Democrat foxes guard the henhouse?
Democrats practicing election fraud? They don’t need any practice. They’re already experts.
Democrats have been stealing elections for years, even from each other (Lyndon Johnson -vs- Coke Stevenson in 1948) The irony is that the lemmings on the left parrot the mantra that Bush stole the election from algore, when the truth is that the 2000 election is the one instance where the Republicans successfully prevented an attempt by democrats to steal an election.
We will all pay the price for the blatant and unchecked voter fraud and terrorist donations for the Muslim Messiah. Our enemies have an ally in the White House and many in the US Congress. Meanwhile, American patriots are rolling in their graves. Millions of Americans, that have brain cells that function and who know the truth about how precarious things have become because of Liberals, are praying.
