Faced with multiple reports of early-voting irregularities and election shenanigans across the country, left-wing groups are playing dumb, deaf and blind.
More cunningly, these organizations are seeking to marginalize complaints about election integrity by casting citizen-watchdog efforts as racist "scare tactics." Echoing President Obama's message to the Democratic faithful on the campaign trail, they are accusing political opponents of suppressing the votes of minorities and the poor. Yesterday, The New York Times quoted a liberal voting-rights advocate, Wendy R. Weiser, wringing her hands over individual Americans taking clean elections seriously:
"Private efforts to police the polls create a real risk of vote suppression, regardless of their intent," said Weiser.
Weiser also turned up in a similar story minimizing voter fraud that was published yesterday by National Public Radio. The NPR report asserted that "most election experts" believe that fears of voter fraud are "overblown." Overblown?
* In North Carolina and Nevada, early voters have encountered ballot-machine glitches that favor Democrats in hotly contested races.
* In Troy, NY, and Daytona Beach, Fla., police investigations into suspected absentee-ballot fraud by elected government officials are underway.
* In Harris County, Texas, the voter registrar admitted that 20 percent of voter-registration forms submitted by liberal activist Houston Votes had problems. Election whistleblowers there are now being investigated by the Obama Justice Department and have been slapped with an ethics complaint by the Texas Democratic Party and a left-wing group called Texans for Public Justice.

Nonsense. That's like saying the presence and involvement of husbands in marriage contributes to divorce. Active participation by the electorate to ensure the integrity of elections is basic and essential to having representative government in the first place.
We need to get control of both houses and then the presidency so we can at last prosecute those cheating at the ballot box to the fullest extent of the law. Those that cry suppression need to be investigated as well for aiding and abetting vote fraud.

Early voting irregularities reported in NV and NC — if u have trouble at the poll contact @toddstarnes
Interesting that these glitches and downright voting fraud always favor the dems. These dems are liars and thieves and fascist Nazis, they are monsters and should be put out of America for their seditions.
The current corrupt government will do everything it can to promote fraud against Republican candidates.
The new congress should pass a bill making election tampering a death penalty offense.
One of the entertaining things is that they are in many case referring to old-fashioned GOP poll-watchers, registered with and permitted by their local board of elections, as “private efforts” simply because they’re not Dems. Also, for years Dems have sent attorneys and other people specialized in pressure tactics as their poll watchers, while the GOP has had mostly timid little old ladies.
Suddenly the GOP poll watchers are doing what they are supposed to be doing (watching for irregularities among the clerks and voters in the check-in process and making sure there is no electioneering in or within a certain distance of the polls) and the Dems are freaking out.
Oh, wait. It's Democrats who are placing the blame on others.
4. Wait for action to be taken.
4. Step to the head of the line for administrative action against those Wascally White Wepublicans.
Yes, nonsense. But the Dems are consistently successful with such nonsense. And I think this election cycle they will take vote fraud to previously unseen levels because they know they can get away with it with all the Dem SoS’s and other election officials they have in place. Which is why I am convinced that GOP gains won’t be nearly as stunning as people like Dick Morris are predicting. In the case of honest elections—yeah, sure. But we are already hearing reports of hanky-panky in NV and elsewhere.
Is there any doubt that our democracy is in danger. The parallels between the current Democrat Party and the early stages of the Nazi Party are quite scary. Especially with obama wanting an internal security force the size of the army.
