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.

“Win or lose he and those responsible must be brought to trial!”

I’m sure Scarry is insulated *somehow* from the illegality of it all...kind of like obaMAO. But we should bring someone to trial. We need to start pressing this voter fraud rubbish. All the moreso as we go forward, as they’re going to be pushing more illegals, et al, in the future.

But there were some here who didn’t think we’d have this election at all...nevertheless, here it comes!!

GOTV, GOTV, GOTV!!!!

“even though Raese is supposedly up by about 5 points - nowhere near enough.”

I just don't believe that the RATS can actually steal a race that is even 3 points up, let alone 5% up. In a state like WA - 3% is a LOT of votes (45,000 on 1.5 million votes and 5% is 75,000) - nothing like the 130 that eventually separated Rossi from Gargoyle in the 2004 theft (when 2.4 million votes were cast in a presidential election year).

So extrapolating that to WV where the population is 1.82 million and WA ST. pop. is 6.47 million or so, the equivalent of a 3% lead for Raese is about 12,800 votes. That's a TON of votes to try to come up with fraudulently, and a 5% lead would be 21,300.

In the other example of a statewide stolen race - MN - “Minnesota law requires an automatic recount when the margin between the leading candidates is less than 0.5% of the vote, and the margin between Coleman and Franken was about 0.01%. Barkley came in third with 15%.”

So you see, it's really a HUGE issue when a race is razor thin. The chances of any of these races being razor thin is small. The chances of all of them being razor thin, is slim to none.

This does NOT mean voter fraud is not a HUGE issue as the last 6 years have illustratively proven before our sad eyes.

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

All Sharon Angle supporters should actively seek out the teachers unions, Reid supporters and other unions and run them out of "freebies" then go and vote for Sharon Angle.

I think that's a much more creative -and effective - way of shutting down the fraud/buying votes crap than a letter from an attorney.

Don’t know who would do live video for a public station though. Even my small town would only do a half minute blurb and miss anything bad going on.

I have asked this question a dozen times on various threads, WHERE are the republicans who are supposed to be keeping an eye on polling stations? Where were the republicans in the areas where Military ballots weren’t sent out? I guess no one knows an answer.

He can steal it because of mail in and early voting.

Its a shame so many who say they are conservative vote by mail or do early voting.

They are enablers of election theft.

Well they don't ordinarily give food out here in Washington State, they simply "find" boxes of ballots in a trunk of a car or under a desk somewhere.

However, they clearly are worried here. Murray has had the big guns out here in a continual revolving door. Biden, Obama, Clinton, then Biden again and now Michele.

Get it on tape, get it on video, get witnesses, get the evidence and then prosecute, prosecute, prosecute. It would be great to see a dozen school teachers’ union thugs taking the perp walk before election day. It’d be a bonus if Reid or his staff were taking the perp walk as well.

I suppose in your area there may be. My city is the ‘hub’ and all others are at least 25 miles away. We have one local TV station.

If I depended upon my newspaper I wouldn't know much about politics other than local.

If gallows are ever built they won't be for politicians and their allies, lol.

Because Nevada’s Democrat attorney general will not prosecute Democrat vote and election fraud.

I cannot recall the local access cable stations around here - I never watch them -

Yup - We need Judge Roy Bean to come back - And Rooster Cogburn

Put a nice bounty on crooked politicians and illegal aliens (illegals each cost US taxpayers $9,800 a year) - I’ll settle for half that!

Sheriff Arpaio, we need hundreds like him, thousands, lol.

Yeah, the illegals who break the law are made to serve their term, which we pay for as you said, and then they are transported back to the border so they can swim across and come right back.

There is no ‘logic’ anymore.

"I’ll take all the freebees I can, and then vote as I see fit."

Move On dot Org called me tonight. I told them I would be at Hairys call center at 2925 N. Greenvalley Pkwy., Suite C, Henderson, tomorrow to drum up some propaganda for him. Got my time all set, address and number to call (702 434-6979) if I can't make it.

Hope they reserve two phones for me.
