There are some 20 states that don’t register voters by party affiliation.

I've been a poll watcher for two decades. My Mother, died 15 years ago, a demonRAT high pobah in the county voted twice after she died. It took me two trips to the County Court House to finally get her name removed from the voting rolls.

I have seen and confronted voter fraud many, many times, and it is frustrating, but we win when we stand up to the demonRATS.

These sonsofcamels are cowards, but they are sneaky bastards, and will be happy to shove a knife into your back, or your tires, or scrape your car.

Face to face, if the odds are even, they have balls the size of BBs, but if they have an edge in numbers, you better have an equalizer, at least a 38, 9 mm or better.

There should be a bounty set up...$1,000 for each false voter on the rolls, and just open this up to the Virginia public. Money would have to come out of each county budget.

What a great idea!

I said in 2016, first order of business should be Voter ID...Sadly, didn’t happen with GOP House, Senate and President...It was a missed opportunity.

I hope Trump can get to it in second term!

“First of all, there was no voter fraud”

Then why bother investigating?

Multiple voting should be a capital offense. It is conspiracy to overthrow the government. Don't matter that it is surreptitious and not overtly violent.

If I were on a jury, would I vote for conviction? Sure.

And what about perjury in signing the voter application form?

So does that mean if I commit a robbery but am caught, I have not committed a robbery?

Must be the case. You're only holding the goods, keeping them protected from any natural perils that may occur. But even if you sell them, you're just stimulating the economy with otherwise idle capital. I think an award for good citizenship is in order.

Democrats vote from the cradle to the grave. Thanks, WashPost, for trying to give the urban legend the old college try.

From the Virginia voter registration form:

AFFIRMATION: I swear/affirm, under felony penalty for making willfully false material statements or entries, that the information provided on this form is true. I authorize the cancellation of my current registration and I have read the Privacy Act Notice.

So where's the felony indictment for this open and shut case?

Yes, on primary day, you have to choose a D ballot or an R ballot, but you can’t vote in both.

...at least 19 dead Virginians were recently re-registered to vote... House Minority Leader David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville) said the case was not proof of voter fraud because no one had actually managed to cast a vote in the names of the dead.
The fact that Toscano, or any other Demwit, is in office, is proof enough. Thanks Marv.

All of the forms had been submitted by a private group that was working to register voters on the campus of James Madison University, according to the Harrisonburg registrar's office. The group was not identified. No charges have been filed.

Calvin Graham (April 3, 1930 – November 6, 1992) was the youngest U.S. serviceman to serve and fight during World War II. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the United States Navy from Houston, Texas on August 15, 1942, at the age of 12.

He was sent to boot camp in San Diego, California, for six weeks, and afterwards was sent to Pearl Harbor at Oahu, Hawaii, where he was assigned to USS South Dakota in September.

The South Dakota left Pearl Harbor on October 16. On the night of November 14–15, 1942, Graham was wounded during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, he served as a loader for a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun and was hit by shrapnel while taking a hand message to an officer. Though he received fragmentation wounds, he helped in rescue duty by aiding and pulling the wounded aboard ship to safety. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart, and he and his crewmates were awarded Navy Unit Commendation.

The South Dakota returned to the East Coast on December 18, 1942, for an overhaul and battle damage repairs (she had taken 42 hits from at least three enemy ships).

Graham’s mother revealed his age after he traveled to his grandmother’s funeral in Texas without permission from the Navy, for which afterwards he spent three months in a Texas brig. He was released after his sister threatened to contact the newspapers.

Although he had tried to return to his ship, he was discharged from the Navy on April 1, 1943, and his medals were revoked.

The South Dakota’s gunnery officer, who was involved in handling his case, was Sargent Shriver.

He then worked in a defense plant as a welder instead of going back to school.

Graham joined the United States Marine Corps in 1948 at age 17, but his enlistment in the Marines also ended early when he fell from a pier and broke his back in 1951. Although serving in the Marine Corps qualified him as a veteran, he would spend the rest of his life fighting for full medical benefits and clearing his military service record.

In 1978, he was finally given an honorable discharge for his service in the Navy, and after writing to Congress and with the approval of President Jimmy Carter, all medals except his Purple Heart were reinstated.

His story came to public attention in 1988, when his story was told in the TV movie, Too Young the Hero. He was played by Rick Schroder.

In 1988, he received disability benefits and back pay for his service in the Navy after President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that granted Graham full disability benefits, increased his back pay to $4917 and allowed him $18,000 for past medical bills, contingent on receipts for the medical services. By this time, some of the doctors who treated him had died and many medical bills were lost. He received only $2,100 of the possible $18,000.

While the money for the rights to his story for the movie, Too Young The Hero amounted to $50,000, 50% went to two agents and 20% went to a writer of an unpublished book about Graham. He and his wife received just $15,000 before taxes.

Graham’s Purple Heart was finally reinstated, and presented to his widow, Mary, on June 21, 1994, by Secretary of the Navy John Dalton in Arlington, Texas, nearly two years after his death from heart failure.

If President Trump doesn’t put a nail in this problem now, we’ll never have a legitimate election again.
