Jerry Nadler in 2004: ‘Paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud’
Fox News ^ | May 26, 2020 | Dom Calicchio

If President Trump is seeking a high-ranking Democrat to side with him against mail-in electionballots – in a bid to build bipartisan opposition to the idea in Congress -- he could try contacting U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler.

Although Nadler, as chairman of the House JudiciaryCommittee, helped lead the impeachment fight against Trump last year, a C-SPAN video clip from 2004 shows the New Yorker speaking out strongly against paper-based ballots during a Capitol Hill hearing.

At the hearing -- in which lawmakers examined perceived voting problems in an Ohio election -- a member of the public spoke in support of paper ballots, later citing research by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that she said showed hand-counted paper ballots to be “among the most reliable” voting methods.

Nadler didn’t agree.

“Paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud,” he said. “And at least with the old clunky voting machines that we have in New York, the deliberate fraud is way down compared to paper.

HE ought to know

Up to now, that’s all the fraud the DNC had to work with ... until everyone got wise.

NOW, they have a BETTER scam and can’t be bothered with paper

Nadler says, “Well, that was in 2004...Since then, I’ve had my stomach sewed shut and when they did that, they inadvertently sewed my brain shut also so now I don’t know what I’m saying...

Nadler would, or has already, changed positions, no doubt. 8>)

After Mike Garcia won the race here in SoCal, now the Dems know how many more fake votes they need in November in order to beat him

“”””If President Trump is seeking a high-ranking Democrat to side with him against mail-in electionballots – in a bid to build bipartisan opposition to the idea in Congress — he could try contacting U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler.”””


This appears to be Fake News from the Faux Fiction Factory.

What Nadler was saying then has nothing to do with ‘100% vote by mail’ being proposed by the Democrats.

Is Jerry Nadler the only man who, in the 21st Century, wears his belt just below his chin?

I had an uncle that dressed like that but that was back in the 1950's.

In my field of work - that of mental health - I have been discovering that there is a marked difference between mental illness and psychopathy. A person with mental illness at least has some measure of conscience. A psychopath does not.

Nadler, along with Pelosi and Schiff and too many others, are political psychopaths. There is not a shred of conscience or shame among them.

ll voting systems are susceptible to fraud at some level. Paper ballot fraud requires great numbers of personnel in each vote counting area. Mail in ballots requires fewer operatives and is easier to cover. Electronic fraud requires only a very few computer ops. All methods are susceptible to big city manipulation where the big cities report their vote counts last in their states. DJT won Florida last time due to the incompetence of the vote counters in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Mail in voting is probably the easiest to cheat at the front end. Mail in balloting is Democrat winning. Without a major change in our voting system there is probably not much chance of the Democrats losing the next or any subsequent Election.
