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...

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.
Get the word out in Nevada, please. Notify Drudge, Rush, Hannity, to blow the whistle publicly on this fraud!!
I’ve sent this to DRUDGE
Poison is now the antidote???
Well Reid’s not black so he is prosecutable. Unlike electioneering Moochelle, Sheila Jackass Lee and the Black Panthers.
Take the Sandwich and vote for Angle!!
Yes, and what the SOS is doing by explicitly condoning the Reid campaign's criminal activities is aiding and abetting a criminal conspiracy!
The democrat party is a criminal enterprise.
I read as far as the 1st part of MHG's post (#12).
He nails it. I've been calling them "The Democrat Crime Syndicate" for years.
A lot more former under-informed/not-interested "useful idiots" are waking up to that fact thanks to the efforts of a lot of people.
Harry Reid-——you’re finished!
So, name names. ROSS MILLER is the Nevada Secretary of State. Someone should remind him that he can be voted out for his misdeeds.

Doesn’t surprise me. Just another reason I don’t live in Nevada.
The Democrat base is used to taking handouts, this will bring them to the polls when they would normally just stay at home. In WA state, we vote by mail 100%, that way the election officials can steal the election without a paper trail.
the “universal we” (grin)
The left in this country is playing with fire, I wonder if they know yet?
Until we build and use the guillotines or hang a few of these treasonous bastards of the criminal enterprise party, they know there are no significant consequences for aborting the sovereignty of We The People.
Well, in that case, at least he'd be elected while still alive, one would presume. Contrast that with the case of Mel Carnahan, the Dem candidate for US Senate in Misouri in 2002(?). Carnahan died in a private airplane crash (question of possible sabotage) weeks before the election. However, his name remained on the ballot and the voters of Missouri elected a deceased man to the office. Whereupon, the outgoing Democratic governor declared the Senate seat vacant - despite the fact that Carnahan never held the office - and appointed Carnahan's widow to fill the seat until a new election two years later. The Republicans never litigated the controversial and unprecedented legal issues involved.
You KNOW the answer. The Dems send-in gangs of thugs to intimidate voters. Until the other candidates send-in thug busters, nothing will change. Among the many faults of the Repubs is that they refuse — by and large — to fight back. Still too many country club Repubs around.
The election to which I was referring in Missouri occurred in 2000.
