Vote Fraud as a Democrat Strategy

The Democratic Party's message to politically involved citizens is unmistakably dire.  For those who attempt to expose voter fraud, expect to be harassed and even sued.  This is what happened to a group called the King Street Patriots (KSP) in Harris County (Houston), Texas.  

So far, intimidation has failed to deter these proud and steadfast citizens.  "These lawsuits are exactly the kind of abusive disrespect for citizens that got our political leaders into trouble. We will not be intimidated by partisan attacks, by the Democratic Party, or by anyone," is the defiant retort from volunteer leader of King Street Patriots, Catherine Engelbrecht. 

KSP received national attention earlier this year when their initiative, True the Vote, discovered "numerous incomplete, inaccurate or false voter registrations."  KSP volunteers pored over voter rolls "double-checking all registrations" and even photographed vacant lots and non-existent addresses given on voter registration forms to validate their findings. 

The reaction from the leftist goons has predictably followed the Saul Alinsky playbook for radicals.  Texans Together Education Fund and the Texas Democrat Party sued KSP while Texans for Public Justice filed an ethics complaint in an attempt to "bind and gag" KSP volunteers.  At the same time, progressive bloggers and websites launched a malicious smear campaign to discredit KSP efforts.

Voter fraud has become a pivotal strategy for the progressives.  This is why they are coordinating such vicious attacks against honest citizens working to combat electoral corruption.  Only with chicanery can collectivists successfully implement their social justice agenda rejected by most Americans.  The uprooting of voter fraud jeopardizes the left's delusional aspirations, so they feel justified in using every despicable trick to thwart the efforts of groups like KSP.

It should come as no surprise George Soros, through his Open Society Foundation, funds Texans for Public Justice and Texans Together Education Fund.  The benefits of controlling election outcomes are just too much of an enticement for an egomaniac who dreams of global tyranny.

By now, astute citizens understand that without direct participation by an engaged citizenry to purge voter rolls, corruption will fester and inevitably destroy a free society.  Because of their abysmal performance, wholly trusting elected officials to accomplish this vital function seems unrealistic.  According to a 2009 study, there are nearly 16 million dead or ineligible voters on registration rolls in the United States.  This is the result of unethical  activist groups, bungling and possibly complicit election officials, and the persistent dismantling of commonsense safeguards.   

The "Yankee Pankey" events in Connecticut are a reminder free and fair elections are under growing risk from mismanagement and fraud.  Voting rights laws and court rulings have only compounded the problem by encouraging misconduct that undermines the democratic process.  Engelbrecht was correct when she said, "If our elections are not fair, we are not truly free."

To make matters worse, the now infamous Secretary of State Project (SOS) was specifically designed to manipulate elections.  Soros openly boasts that financing the campaigns of far left ideologues was one of his better "political investments."   Gloating over his brainchild is not unfounded since it has proven to be highly effective in winning key secretary of state seats and advancing the progressive agenda.  

SOS cofounder Becky Bond of San Francisco revealed the SOS's objective in 2006 when she said, "Any serious commitment to wrestling control of the country from the Republican Party must include removing their political operatives from deciding who can vote and whose votes will count."  It certainly does not sound like free and fair elections were part of her calculus.

The Soros/Bond scheme worked flawlessly in 2008 when SOS alumnus  and ACORN endorsed Secretary of State Mark Ritchie dismissed a request to conduct an investigation of the 261,000 duplicate registrations and 63,000 voters who had listed non-existent addresses just prior the Franken fiasco in Minnesota.  At the conclusion of the highly controversial election, Ritchie falsely claimed his office "received no reports whatsoever of fraudulent voting occurring." 

After months of stonewalling by the Secretary of State's office, Republican lawmakers joined a citizen's action group called the Minnesota Majority and sued Ritchie in 2009 claiming the state's voter registration system had "not been adequately updated."  The claimants also alleged, "Vote totals from canvassing boards exceed the stated number of registered voters by 406,398."

On their website, the Minnesota Majority list discrepancies they found with the registration records.  These revelations alone should have triggered a thorough review and overhaul of the voter records, but Ritchie supposedly "ignored or dismissed" repeated calls for action.

Not surprisingly, issues resurfaced in the recent mid-term election when the GOP sued the State of Minnesota on November 17 over ballot tallies in a close gubernatorial race.  Yet again, there were unanswered questions about precincts reporting "more votes than voters."

Much of today's registration fraud can be attributed to the National Voter Rights Act (NVRA).  This seemingly innocuous legislation signed into law in 1993 by Bill Clinton was designed to make it "easier for all Americans to register to vote and to maintain their registration."  Instead, it has turned into another civil rights inspired boondoggle. 

To encourage voter enrollment, NVRA requires states to provide individuals with the opportunity to register to vote at the same time they apply for or renew a driver's license.  Also, state run public assistance offices must offer and may assist in completing and returning voter registration forms.  Both appear to be acceptable policies, but the Act also requires states allow citizens to register to vote by mail using mail-in-forms with no identification needed.  This opens the door wide open to fraud and abuse.

In 2004, John Fund describes in a National Review article how NVRA establishes "fraud-friendly rules" which makes "fraud and foul-ups in election counts possible."  Fund cautioned that continuation of this policy "accelerates our drift toward banana-republic elections."

Regrettably, Fund's prediction appears to be accurate.

To illustrate the documented abuse that has already occurred as a result of the "Motor Voter Act" Fund wrote, "CBS's 60 Minutes created a stir in 1999 when it found people in California using mail-in forms to register fictitious people, or pets, and then obtaining absentee ballots in their names."

In an odd twist of irony, Mexico has much tighter controls in place than the US.  Every voter must present a tamperproof picture voter card, submit to thumbprint verification, and give their signature before they can cast a vote.  These are all policies that advocates for illegal immigrants and progressives vehemently denounce as discriminatory, amount to voter suppression, and are a "threat to the Progressive Agenda." 

On November 15, KSP filed a counter lawsuit against the Texas Democratic Party.

"It is outrageous that a group of American citizens who simply volunteered to get involved in the political process are forced into court by the Texas Democratic Party," said Kelly Shackelford, president and chief counsel of Liberty Institute, who is helping to defend KSP.  "Using a political party to sue and attack citizens, and to try to reduce the Constitutional rights of all Americans, is a disgrace."

The Democratic Party may regret picking a fight with these Americans.

The National Voter Rights Act, aka Motor Voter Act, should have the sections that permit all this fraud repealed. It has enabled Obamacare, e.g. Al Franken becoming a senator, and many other violations of the 14th Amendment with absentee ballots, IMHO.

[wac3rd]

Cloward and Piven were both there at the signing of Motor Voter with Bubba Clinton.

[9YearLurker]

It would be nice if Joe Miller’s experience has sensitized Palin to the issue sufficiently to make her make it an issue once she takes office in 2013.

[Constitutional Patriot]

“Only with chicanery can collectivists successfully implement their social justice agenda rejected by most Americans.”

And if you notice, the vermin behind all of this “chicanery” are full time (e.g. salaried) political operatives, while the people who are getting screwed (e.g. people like you and I) are working, productive members of society.

The question is who is paying these bolsheviks? I think it is time to re-establish a congressional investigative committee on un-American activities and expose these communists and their anti-American agenda. There needs to be hard core consequences for this type of activity - especially if we are to survive as a nation.

Where are our teams of patriotic lawyers in this country to attack and counter these criminal bastards and thier manipulation of the laws?

[Gargantua]

MIller had his chance to return the favor of Sarah's endorsement of him when he was asked during the midterm elections on National Television if he felt Sarah was qualified to run for president.

Miller engaged in a politico-speak avoidance of answering the question directly, giving the unmistakable impression that he did not consider her qualified.

Whatever else his own qualifications for the office he sought might have been, he showed himself to be a backstabbing ingrate, and turned off his own Alaskan support by turning on Palin. If Joe Miller really wanted to be the next Senator from Alaska, he should have quickly replied, "Sarah Palin is as qualified as anyone else to run for president."

Miller screwed himself by proving, before the election, that he was a snake-in-the-grass, weasel-faced turncoat capable of biting the hand that had virtually handed him the primary. He sewed his own defeat in the Statewide election, and I'm glad he did. No two-faced scumbag deserves the support of the American people. At least with Murkowski, we're not fooled into believing we have someone with real character or integrity in that Alaskan Senate seat.

Anybody and everybody who accepts one of Sarah's highly sought-after and unusually effective endorsements for political office should be on notice: mess with the 'Cuda, and you get the teeth. Those teeth don't belong to Sarah——they belong to the millions upon millions of patriotic American voters who dearly love America's favorite conservative daughter like they love their own.

As for Joe Miller... good riddance to a backstabbing dirtbag who got too big for his ridiculous Hollywood three-day-stubble.

Vote Fraud as a Democrat Strategy Much of today's registration fraud can be attributed to the National Voter Rights Act (NVRA) signed into law in 1993 by Bill Clinton. In 2004, John Fund describes how NVRA establishes "fraud-friendly rules" which makes "fraud and foul-ups in election counts possible."

NRVA (1) requires states to provide individuals with the opportunity to register to vote at the same time they apply for or renew a driver's license. (2) state run public assistance offices must offer and may assist in completing and returning voter registration forms. (3) requires states allow citizens to register to vote by mail using mail-in-forms with no ID needed.

======================================

Texans Together Education Fund and the Texas Democrat Party sued, while Texans for Public Justice filed an ethics complaint in an attempt to "bind and gag" King Street Patriots (KSP) volunteers in Harris County (Houston), Texas, who pored over voter rolls double-checking all registrations, photographing vacant lots and non-existent addresses given on voter registration forms to validate their findings.

George Soros, through his Open Society Foundation, funds Texans for Public Justice and Texans Together Education Fund.

================================================

Actions that interfere with, and destabilize US elections, could evolve into criminal charges of collusion and conspiracy.

ACTION NOW
(A) Officials of Texans Together Education Fund, the Texas Democrat Party, and Texans for Public Justice should be interrogated by the FBI to determine whether tax-exempt monies were used illegally WRT to interference with US elections.
(B) These groups should be asked to produce records on how they spent tax-exempt money.
(C) The IRS, SEC, FBI, Congress and the GAO can easily review the paper trail to determine whether falsified documents were submitted to govt agencies (a felony).

AIDING AND ABETTING Charges of being an accessory after the fact----aiding and abetting lawbreaking could also apply.

OTHER POSSIBLE CHARGES Criminal complaints might be lodged for fraud, conspiracy and concealment, and criminal civil rights violations. If there has already been the public admission that a possible felony was committed, it is also possible that other federal offenses have also been committed including but not limited to;

<><>Title 18 U.S.C. §1341,
<><> Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Govt;
<><>18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by ERISA of 1974, including civil and RICO violations.
<><>18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act),
<><>18 U.S.C. §1341 (Mail Fraud),18 U.S.C. §1027 (ERISA Violations), and,
<><>18 U.S.C. §241 (Conspiracy Against Civil Rights).

A full investigation of a RICO conspiracy under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted if (1) several persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise, (3) that engaged in or affected social and financial enterprises (elections), and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a pattern (6) of racketeering activity, and, (7) person(s) were injured in its enterprises and financial interests by reason of the pattern of racketeering activity.

Thus, a formal RICO investigation could be warranted b/c the alleged violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person (Harmer) in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

George Soros' Open Society Foundation, funds leftist voter fraud organizations
fronting as "Texans for Public Justice and Texans Together Education Fund."

[Enchante]

Libscum, thy name is voter fraud aka George Soros

the Alinsky-Obama cabal is slowly being exposed and rolled back, but there is so much more to accomplish

[9YearLurker]

My point really wasn’t about Miller, it was on the idea of Palin as a reformer possibly being a president who would lead a crackdown on this stuff.

[kindred]

[The Democratic Party’s message to politically involved citizens is unmistakably dire. For those who attempt to expose voter fraud, expect to be harassed and even sued.]

It is the democrat communist way to persecute conservatives and Christians and hate Israel and the God of Heaven and earth who would save them but for their great pride and great sin against Him and consequently,their fellow men.

[kindred]

These communist democrats are shameless liars and thieves and have destroyed and robbed America. The day of the Lord Jesus Christ will be hard, very hard, on these monsters.

[Gargantua]

That she will, and she's the only one I trust to do it with no favoritism for anything but The Law.

My point was about Miller.

;-\

[9YearLurker]

Ah, we’re on the same page. Though I don’t see how a single Palin-loyal Alaskan could have wanted Murkowski in—which is what turning on Miller delivered.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Compared to the numbers of lib liars, they could all fit on the head of a pin.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

It’s... captain hindsight to the rescue!!

[Luke21]

“Where are our teams of patriotic lawyers in this country to attack and counter these criminal bastards and thier manipulation of the laws?”

The same place they are with the TSA and other constitutional violations.

[Gargantua]

Perhaps I'm just venting on the frat-boy turncoat puke with that pathetic contempo-Gollywood "3-day-bender" stubble. I'd like to jack him out of his fu<&ing loafers with an uppercut from Deluth.

[RoadTest]

“Voter fraud has become a pivotal strategy for the progressives.”

True. And slander is another.

[Mygirlsmom]

I suppose you’re good then with Lisa Murkowski’s vote-fraud-ridden “victory”? While I agree things did not go perfectly with the Miller campaign, at least he is still fighting to expose the very stuff that goes on wherever Democrats or Democrats at Heart don’t believe they can win an election legitimately.
