Stealing elections is an old game politicians play. Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president, got to the U.S. Senate in 1948 by winning the closest race in Texas history by a margin of 87 votes out of more than a million cast. An election judge in tiny Alice, Texas, said he counted more than 200 names on the voting roll for Box 13 that were written in alphabetic succession in the same hand, same color of ink. When a federal court subpoenaed Box 13, it was discovered to be lost. LBJ took his seat in the Senate. Voting machines were supposed to put an end to such election-night chicanery, but Earl Long, the colorful governor of Louisiana, where fraud is the national sport, boasted that I can make a voting machine play Home on the Range all night long.
Evidence of such fraud repeats itself on Monday in Virginia when election officials begin the thankless task of recounting the more than 2.2 million ballots cast in the Nov. 5 state attorney generals race, where just 165 votes separate the two candidates.
The fishiest results were posted in Fairfax County, where enough provisional ballots conveniently appeared to give state Sen. Mark R. Herring, the Democrat, an edge over state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain of Harrisonburg, the Republican. They kept finding ballots, a highly placed Republican source says. Mr. Herring was finally declared the winner by .007 of 1 percent of the vote in the final tally, making it the closest statewide race in Virginia history.
Republicans nearly always get the sticky end of the wicket. In 2008, Al Franken, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota, trailed his Republican opponent by 215 votes out of 2.9 million cast.

Kerry and McCain are veterans. You sure you want to espouse that view?
The Democrats make their money stealing from the public treasury. They HAVE to win. There are two nations within our borders. There is The United States of America and there is Democratland. Elections aren’t about two people with differing points of view on how to get the most efficient and effective use out of the hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Elections are about which nation rules within our borders. We are not fellow citizens to the Democrats. We are enemies to be subjugated.
“I had a neighbor who advocated the death penalty for vote fraud. He claimed that it was a crime equivalent to capital murder and treason. I wasnt sure at the time but now after a couple of decades I find that I agree with him.”
I agree also. Nothing, including the usual definitions of treason, undermines the system more effectively.
The Democrats believe anyone and everyone should be allowed to vote, we just throw all of those votes in a pile without any kind of verification and then we simply declare the Democrat the winner.
When has a Republican ever "won" one of these close elections?
Virginia Ping!
Just ask Minnesota Democrats how to steal an election. They are experts at it.
Election Fraud is not a problem.
Nope not a problem.
Don't remember GW and Florida?
What about bot voting(not exactly sure how that operates; but think it is a computer program used to include in regular voting fake votes). I think you can rent or buy a machine. Is this how the libs are stealing votes?
As I’ve said on FR many times, the Soros SoS project failed and most of the tossup states (Virginia included) have (had) Republican gov and Republican Sec of State.
We only got our “side” to blame.
