Despite the massive media attention given to the claim that Russia attempted to influence last year’s election, the greatest threat to American democracy is vote fraud at home.
Counties across the country have more people registered to vote than they have residents eligible to do so. Some jurisdictions have on their rolls voters who’ve reached their 200th birthday and beyond. Thousands of non-citizens have been found to be registered to vote and across the nation that number may well reach into the millions.
No wonder President Donald Trump established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, on which I serve. Liberals and conservatives may argue over which government roles are essential, but everyone should agree that protecting Americans’ right to choose their leaders is the most important one.
Well, apparently not. With the nation facing evidence of serious election fraud, the American Civil Liberties Union could have sued governments which weren’t cleaning up their voter rolls and ensuring that only eligible voters cast ballots. Thus, would the organization be living up to its name and defending Americans’ liberties.
But no. Instead, the organization has sued the president’s advisory commission. It turns out that worrying about fraudulent ballots “is all a sham to disenfranchise more voters.” Well, only the dead ones.
Seriously, real disenfranchisement occurs when people vote illegally, diluting the participation of those who have earned, and often fought for, the right of self-government.
One can’t help suspect that the ACLU wants to reduce requirements for voting for the same reason that other groups want to eliminate restrictions on immigration and loosen barriers to citizenship. What better way to dilute the vote of citizens and thereby seize control of government? If the Left can’t win support from the public, they figure they will just change the public.
Thankfully, the ACLU is not the only group active in the courtroom. So is the group founded to be the antidote to it – the American Civil Rights Union. And the ACRU is busy trying to get election officials to protect the sanctity of Americans’ votes.
ACRU’s litigation strategy began four years ago, when it began quietly to sue counties to comply with the federal law requiring them to maintain accurate voter rolls. Things are not so quiet now, however, and the Left has brought in the big guns, namely George Soros and his big-spending organizations because they understand that accurate voter rolls are the death knell to vote fraud.
Later this month, the ACRU is confronting Broward County, Florida at the federal district court in Miami. Broward’s election officials see nothing wrong with the fact that they have far more people registered to vote than actually live there. Although Broward officials claim to follow state requirements, only 19 registrants were removed from the rolls over the last five years for not being citizens – in a county where 13 percent of the population holds foreign citizenship. Something obviously isn’t right.
This historic trial will set the stage for how the value of Americans’ votes will be protected.
Keep in mind that every name that appears on a voter registration roll is a name that can be voted – either by that individual or by someone else. The latter is called voter fraud.
Safeguarding our self-governing republic is important whether one is on the right or the left. Philosophy shouldn’t matter. Citizens have a right to participate in politics, make their views known and choose their leaders. And to do so without having their votes diluted with ballots being cast by those who are not eligible to vote or who have long ago departed this earth.
The American people desperately need someone to help protect their liberties. And it’s pretty obvious it won’t be the ACLU. Thankfully, other organizations like the ACRU are working hard on Americans’ behalf. Democracy requires not just robust debate, but honest vote counting as well.
The integrity of our electoral system is paramount, and the ACLU should care about that instead of harassing those of us asked by the president to help assess the problem and propose solutions.
Indeed, the starting point for any discussion should be to learn the truth about voter rolls across the nation. A good place to begin will be the federal courthouse in Miami.
The Chicago Board of Elections cannot explain or reconcile how the number of votes cast in the 2016 general election exceeds the number of actual ballot applications for that same election. Nonetheless, the Democrats’ mantra is that there is no vote fraud and laws designed to deter voter fraud are voter suppression. The Democrats are working to make voter registration automatic for all persons. The Democrats even want to allow convicted felons to resume voting!
• Paper ballots
• Purple fingers
• Mandatory free on demand BIOMETRIC (iris scan, nobody ever left their irises at a crime scene!) photo ID, with a database that instantly flags for arrest anyone seeking multiple IDs. Change of name? Simply have your old card voided when you apply for the new one.
• No precinct reports their totals until ALL precincts report they have totals. This prevents the last to report precinct captains from knowing how much to fudge a report to give a win to their preferred candidate while maintaining some slight semblance of credibility.
• Repeal Motor Voter.
• End same-day registration where it exists, and allow ample time between registration and election for vetting of credentials of registrants.
• Instantly deport any non-citizen who registers to vote.
• Put a little ⩍ next to the names of those registered voters with death certificates, and detain and put a 72 hour psychiatric hold anyone claiming to be a dead person...
The vote-rigging, cheating and importing of voters who are not eligible has been going on for years. The corruption rivals corruption of all time. And, the name on this criminal activity is Democrats.
There is absolutely no way the rats can win an election without fraud.
The ACLU has turned into another Liberal organization, that’s all.
And gee, that’s probably why this silly, bogus Russian story with Donald Jr. got going this week because some people are probably very concerned or even scared over what domestic investigations into voter fraud will most likely reveal (cue “The Electric Company” sound effects, lol).
Fake Voters.
1. End the practice of gerrymandering and put in Congressional districts based purely on population.
2. Require that voters show a Real ID compliant picture identification and the ID card must be digitally scanned to ensure they can vote at only one location.
Just as we have self-deportation ongoing at the border, as illegal aliens flee the “tyranny” of a republic enforcing its laws, we seem to be experiencing self-deregistering from the voter rolls, as we see from reports of thousands of Coloradans doing so. If thousands are doing so in CO, must be happening in all states, without being reported.
Ban Bolshekrats.
It’s a big problem that a number of GOP controlled sates have refused to co-operate with the voter fraud investigation. Bad move. It gave the rats plenty of cover. If it was only the rat states that refused it would clearly show what we all know to be true. The GOP is controlled by idiots who don’t know they are at war.
And how much culpability should by ascribed to Republicans in those districts for not challenging the vote since their own vote was 'diluted' or nullified? FIGHT BACK dammit - nullify Soros.
So much for the medias fixation on election rigging is done by Russia OH wait it’s their team that’s doing the rigging.
The ACLU was founded by Communists and has always been a leftist organization.
Add PROOF of citizenship in order to register to vote. Then go back and have everyone re-register with PROOF of citizenship, That’ll disenfranchise a boatload of fraudulent voters.
I especially liked the last suggestion. And then we should demand that they lose the right to own a gun, since liberals are always saying that they don’t want the mentally ill to be able to own guns. On that we agree.
I do like the way you think!
Anyone who recognizes that, for example, that it was a mistake to fill out that form they were handed at the DMV and told by a government agent to fill out, and removes themselves from the voter roles retains the possibility of earning citizenship.
