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.

Prince Harry, we all love you. Please, why do we need to compete in elections when we have ACORN?

Hail Messiah! You Republicans are delusional to think that you can usurp our power.

You Republicans and Tea Partiers are all being played by the MSM and the Left. Acutally the Dems are 20 points ahead in the generic ballot and the Messiah currently approved of by 60% of the people. You are all being manipulated. Sarah Palin is actually in bed with George Soros.

Signed

Buying a few votes with trinkets is is skin cancer. The real nasty stuff will be metastasizing within the bowels of just about every Dim precinct in the country. We're talking MILLIONS of votes nationwide.

The infamous words of one Dim precinct captain says it best, "I have not yet begun to cheat!"

Doesn’t the Constitution mandate punishment for treason?

This was before Holder's appointment

I seriously doubt we’re going to lose every close race.

Seriously!

I’m tired of getting “reports” of this crap, and then the people there not doing anything!

Like what is telling us going to do?

I’m betting a box of gift cards there is likely a request for donations somewhere on their page.

And it is going to shock you 2 Wednesdays from now.


I know it is. I can’t sleep anymore, worrying about any race with less than a 3-4% R advantage.

This election has messed me up even worse than ‘04, when exit-polling gave Kerry the early lead, and ‘08, when I knew we were toast, but hoped and prayed for a miracle.

No more miracles, rainbows, skittles, Unicorns. If we don’t take at least 80 house and 8 Senate, I’m going to elect for a prefrontal lobotomy because I can’t do this anymore.

Where is the NV attorney general on this? Is he a demon also?

Lots of illegal things aren’t treason. And if there was meaningful proof of this, Angle’s campaign would be pursuing it in court already.

Free food for your vote?
It use to be free booze.
And this is somehow surprising?
Got any whores to pass around for some votes? Don’t laugh or be disgusted it happens too.
Dead folks and insane voting. Children and invisable folks voting too.
some folks need real ass whoopings.

Please pardon me, I will attempt to leave off the vulgarities in the future.

I’d be tempted to show up early at one of the “free food” events and (loudly) “find” a dead mouse in my sandwich.

Great idea...but I'd suggest proclaiming a dead RAT instead of a mouse.

Glad for that. We need to be a total contrast to the leftoid sewage sites.

Where is the lawsuit?
Where is Angle’s legal demand for the dims to stop this?

If Reid is really stealing the election then Angle better do something about this other than just whine on her website!

Fight for your future and our country Sharon!

There is so much fraud in voting nationwide. The Republicans had a chance to revamp the system after the 2000 election and did little to fix it. I should be able to get a printout of my ballot after voting, then login to some website with a PIN number and VERIFY that my vote was accurately counted. Also, a list of names of who voted should be publicly available so that groups could scan thru and make sure no funny business (dead people) took place.

From the Declaration of Independence:

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

—But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
