South Carolina's Attorney General detects voter fraud

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's attorney general has notified the U.S. Justice Department of potential voter fraud.

Attorney General Alan Wilson sent details of an analysis by the Department of Motor Vehicles to U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles.

In a letter dated Thursday, Wilson says the analysis found 953 ballots cast by voters listed as dead. In 71 percent of those cases, ballots were cast between two months and 76 months after the people died. That means they "voted" up to 6 1/3 years after their death.

The letter doesn't say in which elections the ballots were cast.

The analysis came out of research for the state's new voter identification law. The U.S. Justice Department denied clearance of that law.

Wilson told Nettles he asked the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate.

But the Justice Dept. WANTS voter fraud.

Voter fraud is a myth.

Obama said so!

there is no voter fraud, thus there is no need for voter id laws.

these aren’t the droids you are looking for.

Yep:

The U.S. Justice Department denied clearance of that law.

Now why would that be, hmmm?

The letter doesn't say in which elections the ballots were cast. If voter fraud were wine, 2008 would be a fabulous year.

Someday, someone is going to produce a movie, or at least a commercial, with the title, "Election Stealing by the Living Dead". And, the villains who brought them "back to life", will have to be the democrats.

Imagine how many elections have been stolen by voter fraud, and how many people have been disenfranchised because, their votes didn't count and the wrong person/party ended up "winning" an election.

Punishment for election fraud needs to be brought up several levels, and anybody caught committing fraud should get at least 10 years in prison, and gets to lose his/her voting rights, and can never again participate in any election campaigns. The damage done to the country is unmeasurable, and might be equivalent in scope as any attack on the country by a foreign power.

Jesse Jackson says that if voter ID laws are enforced, they’d lose 11% of their vote count.
He’d probably know.

“...found 953 ballots cast by voters listed as dead...”

Obama finds that disgraceful. That number should be hundreds of times larger, based on the great success with Democrat cemetery voter registration drives in Chicago. A dead voter registration Czar will need to be appointed.

Remember, “No person should be denied the right to vote simply based on the fact that they have died.”

You’re right! The AG’s letter was sent this past Thursday before the primary.

Point of reference: This is SC, where the dead have always voted for the machine candidates.

I have a simple proposal:

If you are caught casting a vote in the name of a dead person, YOU become a dead person.

Capital offence for voter fraud. It IS that important.

Aren’t dems allowed to vote in the GOP primaries? If dems are involved in any way, shape, or form, you bet there’ll be fraud. How could there not be? It’s what the scuzzy losers do; they can’t help themselves.

I suspect this analysis of voter fraud is not from the most recent primary in South Carolina. Government folks simply do not work that fast.

This is exactly why the federales don’t want voter ID laws or any other procedures to maintain the integrity of the voting process. In this case, SC wants to disenfranchise dead voters, likely hurting minority dead voters disproportionately.

Maybe they were only mostly dead.

The election official who left a dead person on the voter rolls for 6 1/2 years should be prosecuted right along with the fraudulent voters.

If history and historians ever regain factual honesty, I believe it will forever show that Obama would not have won the primary over Hillary and subsequently, the 2012 election. What happened in Texas was not isolated.
