Normally anything from blogspot.com goes in the blogger forum, but the systematic Democrat abuses outlined in this eyewitness account qualify as news, and should be tabulated in Backhoe's "Vote Fraud Archives".

This an old Saul Alinsky technique. It is intended to make it easier for a radical liberal to shift attention temporarily to the opposite side permitting the other side to take the media hit, so that when it is found out that the radical liberal is actually engaging in the activity it won't matter because the other side got saddled with the shame.
How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud
1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).
2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).
3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)
4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).
5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)
6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).
7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).
8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).
9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).
10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."

EVERY VOTE COUNTS . . . INCLUDING FRAUDULENT ONES!!
I was a young reporter for the late Philadelphia Evening Bulletin in 1960. The Bulletin was America's largest evening newspaper and the third largest overall. I had left the Philadelphia Daily News to take the Bulletin job and my first assignment was to investigate vote fraud. I uncovered enough to have a whole team assigned. We found a man doing life for murder voting in every election, The chief magistrate lived in a small row house with his mother. There were 24 persons with different names registered from that address. We had 40 registered voters living in a banana warehouse by the Delaware. There were the usual folks voting from paved-over parking lots and cemeteries. We were aware of the trick of ringing up votes on the machines before the polls opened. There was for a very short period-after we published our stories-- fairly honest elections in Philly. Things quickly regressed. We won the National Headliners Award for the series by the way and I feel the honor was well deserved.
Next time, recruit some poll watchers from Northern PA. We had a surfeit of volunteers.
Good work, TR; thanks.
Too bad PA isn't getting the recount attention Ohio is.
