Harry Reid stealing the election in Nevada
Sharron Angle Campaign ^ | 10/25/10 | Mitchell

Posted on 10/25/2010 1:12:40 PM PDT by pabianice

I have some very grave news for you. We are leading Harry Reid in the polls and meeting our early vote goals--and yet, Sharron Angle could still lose.

As Sharron Angle's campaign attorney, I am sorry to report that the Democrats and their cronies are up to their same old tricks, of trying to manipulate the election in hopes of skewing the results in their favor.

Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided "free food" at "voter turnout events." Harry Reid has been offering free food and, according to other reports, some Democratic allies such as teachers' unions are offering gift cards in return for a vote for Reid.

Before we were even able to document the reported infractions to report to the authorities, the Democrat Secretary of State slammed the door shut on preventing this behavior and issued a public statement permitting these ACORN-style tactics. THESE are the kinds of shenanigans that can turn this race... Harry Reid intends to steal this election if he can't win it outright. As a result, we need to deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics ...

Understand, EVERYTHING we have worked for in the last year could be destroyed by dirty tricks and criminal acts in the next 8 days. As Sharron's first line of defense on these matters I am absolutely committed to making sure this won't happen...

What Harry Reid is doing is clearly illegal. Nevada law (NRS 293.700) provides that, “A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or use and other corrupt means, directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.”

We've seen evidence of this sort of voter 'enticement' by groups such as ACORN - where, in 2008, two ACORN workers in Milwaukee were accused of offering pre-paid gasoline cards or restaurant gift cards to people in exchange for registration.

John Fund wrote in his book Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy, cited reports from the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader (South Dakota) and the election in 2004, where certain residents were quoted saying that "people on the streets were saying you go vote, they would give you gas money, $10, maybe a pack of cigarettes..."

Now, this week in Las Vegas, at our election hotline, we received reports that some teachers' union representatives were offering Starbucks cards to people to get them to vote for Harry Reid. It is even more disturbing and may be possible that they are using their influence and authority as educators to entice students on behalf of Reid.

Here’s the bottom line: when the powerful are threatened, they will do anything to retain their position. It's clear now that Harry Reid's campaign is even willing to skirt the laws of Nevada to do it.

Is there any question that they will do the same on Election Day?

The right to vote is a precious one - and it carries with it somber responsibilities. The Democrats' willingness to allow voters to be enticed with a promise of any thing of value is a debasement of the process- and it may just destroy everything we've worked for...

Sincerely,

Cleta Mitchell

Counsel to Friends of Sharron Angle Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate, Nevada

P.S. I've been in this business a long time. I have never before been so convinced that a candidate would reach so low in order to be victorious. Let's do this for Sharron and all her hard work.

Any election fraud should be Treason.

Am I finally allowed to advocate violence? No... well, OK

You’re not going to have to advocate anything. Things like this always must run their course.

Some will say that this is exactly what Obama wants...chaos. But it’s important to remember something; chaos always has to be controlled. Do you think Ceausescu was able to control his chaos in 1989? No, he couldn’t.

He lost his power as can be seen in this speech. He couldn’t control the chaos:

Obama is acting irrational, and is not fully realizing the rage that is building. The rage of the country, is different from anything he ever had to deal with as Community Organizing in Chicago.

When the people have finally had enough, there will be no turning back, and Obama will have no remedy to stop the rage.

Lawlessness works both ways. Ceausescu found this out in 1989 when the people and the military turned on him.

Gingerly take the gift card or food, put it in a bag, and then when the investigation hopefully starts, there will be proof of who gave out the bribes. Kinda reminds me of a certain blue dress .....

I live in Harry’s “hometown.” He doesn’t care about us until time for the elections. Then he wants to convince us that he worked really hard to get where he is...he walked “20 miles ONE WAY to go to school every day,” and he lives on a “fixed income” in DC.

In DC, he lives at the Ritz-Carlton, and has made millions on shady land deals.

The latest ads have Sharron Angle living on her husband’s BLM pension, and having “her medical expenses paid for life.” So how is that different from Whorehouse Harry?

If he wins this election, I’ll be the first in line to question the votes. Nevada is tired of his BS.

These DIMs are disgusting, as usual. Isn’t it illegal to give “walking around money” and such for votes??????? Where are the attorney generals?

What happens in the booth stays in the booth. I’ll take all the freebees I can, and then vote as I see fit.

Additionally, in Massachusetts, we still get to vote long after we die...

You probably won't see any free food. They'll probably do this only in heavily-Dem districts.

I think we’re looking at a lot of data collection on rat fraud right now. I mean, we need them to do it in order to see what they’re doing, right? Since Soros bought off 2/3 of the SecsofState, and we’ll have two elections in a row to show/prove the intent and result, we’ll be in a better position to uproot his backroom-game.

They’ve moved it from the ground/street game to the judge/commissioner game, which takes a whole lot less people and resources to infiltrate.

Why not mention the 'Rat Secretary of State by name? Sunlight is the best disinfectant, as Justice Brandeis(?) famously said.

Get this story to the Las Vegas newspaper that is supporting Angle.

And vote Republican for SOS if it is on the ballot - all over the country!!! Don't let the slime of the earth steal elections by cheating!

Free food, free gift cards for voting dem!! It's progressed past free cigarettes for the bums. Blatantly illegal but they don't even worry about it.

We need people with zoom cameras near all polling booths. Camera phones, video and immediately send it out to others so it can't be deleted.

“Hope it gets a lot of press there and results in backlash.”

Depends on which press. The socialist propagandists (NBC, ABC, CbS, PMSNBC, CNN, etc., will ignore and cover up.

Fox may allude to it in some discussions, or have John Fund on to cluck his tongue.

Only those of us out in the fruited plain can raise our voices to the local press, to our SoSs, etc., to try to make some kind of difference - try to raise the backlash specter.

At the end of the day this is part of our war to keep/save this nation in her distress from the socialist assault. They are trying to Alinsky us to the very end of this election.

We must FIGHT.

Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided 'free food' at 'voter turnout events.'

The left's SOS Project has been very effective at installing Secretaries of State whose job is solely to ensure Democratic victories.

I think we should just ask Nancy and BO for money—hey rich dems, redistribute your wealth to me, please. C’mon, I said please. Fairness and all that? Buy me a house? How about a 20K facelift like yours, Nancy?
