Absentee vote fraud destroying Miami-Dade elections
The Miami Herald ^ | Sunday, 08.26.12 | PAUL CRESPO

Absentee vote fraud is undermining our elections

While campaigning at a senior citizen residence facility in Sweetwater during my recent race for state representative, several elderly voters mentioned that a person closely related to an important city official “handled” their absentee voting in that center. Some even said this person “voted for them.”

One angry voter pulled me aside discreetly to warn me that this politically connected person actually got the mailbox keys from the residents to access their ballots, and begged me to do something about it. Unfortunately, the person they identified was also openly working on behalf of my opponent.

(snip)

A dramatic increase in absentee voting in recent years means that absentee ballots are increasingly, and disproportionately, deciding our elections. But in many cases absentee voting patterns are so far out of sync with the rest of the county’s voting that it is obvious that something is seriously wrong.

(snip)

Absentee ballot fraud is undermining the integrity of our elections. My parents fled communist Cuba because their right to vote was eliminated. As an officer in the United States Marine Corps I defended our country and our political system. Our vote should be sacred.

We can no longer turn a blind eye to this electoral cancer. Absentee vote fraud must stop.

“Early voting” is also bad - it gives people the chance to vote multiple fraudulent identities over a period of several days ... all without cutting into siesta or midnight basketball.

Absentee voting should be reserved for those who can clearly prove they will be unable to be at the polls on election day.

I also agree that early voting is a bad idea.

I read somewhere that 47% of all votes in swing states in 08 were “early voting”

The Voter Integrity Project administered by Judicial Watch is active in several states.

Democrats/Marxists/Progressives just HATE free and fair elections.

(They never seem to realize that they are undermining THEIR right to vote as well.)

In my opinion Michigan has the single best secretary of state in the country today.

There is no mention of party affiliation in the article...until the very end. Paul Crespo, the author, is a Republican.

Yet, from the outset, there is no question which party is responsible for absentee ballot fraud. It is the Democrats. They have brought the practice to a high art.

It is clear that the Democrat party is not interested in controlling vote fraud...because it is they who benefit from it!

Or, to put it another way, the Democrat party is squarely against free and fair democratic elections.

Because they cannot otherwise win...

“Democrats/Marxists/Progressives just HATE free and fair elections.”

It’s not who votes that counts,
it’s who counts the votes.

(Can’t remember who said that...)

Voter fraud is rampant in this country. Unfortunately, the DOJ doesn’t know it because they are too busy suing and harrassing Joe Arpaio.

Yes, throw out military votes from overseas, but let people vote 2 or 3 times if they are democratic. Perhaps we need to simply deduct a number of democratic votes from several states just to even things up...

I know in the movie Gangs of New York it was attributed to boss Tweed but I don’t know if he really said it.

And any time they lose, Dems screech about Repubs stealing elections. That party would be forced to appeal to real world constituents if it weren't for voter fraud.
