Report: New York Investigators Obtain Fraudulent Ballots 97 Percent of Time
National Review -- The Corner ^ | 12-31-13 | John Fund

New York City’s Department of Investigation (DOI) has just shown how easy it is to commit voter fraud that is almost undetectable. Its undercover agents were able to obtain ballots for city elections a total of 61 times — 39 times using the names of dead people, 14 times using the names of incarcerated felons, and eight times using the names of non-residents. On only two occasions, or about 3 percent of the time, were the agents stopped by polling-place officials. In one of the two cases, an investigator was stopped only because the felon he was trying to vote in the name of was the son of the election official he was dealing with.

Ballot security in checking birth dates or signatures was so sloppy that young undercover agents were able to vote using the name of someone three times their age who had died. As the New York Post reports: “A 24-year female was able to access the ballot at a Manhattan poll site in November under the name of a deceased female who was born in 1923 and died in April 25, 2012 — and would have been 89 on Election Day.” All of the agents who got ballots wrote in the names of fictitious candidates so as not to actually influence election outcomes.

Last year, guerrilla videographer James O’Keefe sent hidden cameras into polling places around the country to demonstrate just how easy it is to commit voter fraud and how hard it is to ever know it happened. In Washington, D.C., one of his assistants was able to obtain Attorney General Eric Holder’s ballot even though Holder is 62 years old and bears no resemblance to the 22-year-old white man who obtained it by merely...

~snip~

But opponents of photo-ID laws scoffed at O’Keefe’s revelations.

And amnesty will cause millions upon millions more voter registrations to be filed with no evidence that each person is a legal citizen.

FTA: “From voter fraud to election chicanery of all kinds, America teeters on the edge of scandal every November,” writes Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia and author of a comprehensive survey of voter fraud called “Dirty Little Secrets.”

This can be corrected by deporting the Department of Investigation agents.

It is not an accident.

It is willful collaboration by most election “officials”

‘Rats know this is how they win elections — and they feel not a single qualm of guilt about it.

Vote fraud will never be stopped until the GOP is seen to be benefiting from it.

Don't think any Freeper or any conservative is surprised by this.

Stop early voting.
Have positive ID or you don't vote.
Anyone caught committing voter fraud, 25 years prison, no parole.

Problem solved.

“Which makes you wonder if we are truly a democratic republic anymore . . ...”

We are on the verge of a fully actualized, fundamental transformation to a Socialist Autocracy. The Autocrat in Chief has amply demonstrated his disdain for the separation of powers and the constitutionally designated role and powers of the Congress.

One of the State sponsored Constitutional Amendments (see Mark Levine) needs to be a requirement that States require a voter I’d and demonstrate a 98% accuracy rate in counted ballots from dul registered voters. Once again, proof that he Democrats are corrupt, fraudulent iars who believe the ends justify the means. This is war, people. We need to engage.

The number of actual fraudulent cases doesn't really matter. the question is, do the people trust the system? As it stands now, there is no reason to.

And since we are all now signed up for Obamacare, which verifies identity, doesn't that mean we all have ID we could use for voter registration?

The communists Democrats are wrapping America up. America can no longer rely on the voter system. Therefore, in reality, America is finished unless voter ID is required. Even then a way for fraud will still be possible.

Now, that's not a very nice thing to say about John McCain.

Yeah, but South Africa doesn’t have the history of racism that this country has.
