Everyone around him was attempting to commit voter fraud yet he knew nothing about it.

Democrats like to claim that concern over ballot fraud is just paranoid conspiracy-theory rubbish. It might be a little more difficult to make that case after Miami-Dade investigators busted a ring of Democrats for attempting to push hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests in the 2012 election – a ring that reached the inner circle of at least one Democratic Congressman, and perhaps two:
Congressman Joe Garcia’s chief of staff abruptly resigned Friday after being implicated in a sophisticated scheme to manipulate last year’s primary elections by submitting hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests.
Friday afternoon, Garcia said he had asked Jeffrey Garcia, no relation, for his resignation after the chief of staff — also the congressman’s top political strategist — took responsibility for the plot. Hours earlier, law enforcement investigators raided the homes of another of Joe Garcia’s employees and a former campaign aide in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation into the matter.
Garcia didn’t just work to defeat Rivera, who had ethics issues that made his re-election dicey at best. He also worked to defeat Allen West, who lost by less than 2,000 votes and who complained about voter fraud at the time:
Jeffrey Garcia, 40, declined to comment. He also worked last year on the campaign of Democrat Patrick Murphy of Jupiter, who unseated tea-party Republican congressman Allen West. Murphy has not been implicated in the phantom-requests operation.
The Miami-Dade state attorney’s office, seeking electronic equipment such as computers, served search warrants Friday at the homes of Giancarlo Sopo, 30, Joe Garcia’s communications director; and John Estes, 26, his 2012 campaign manager. Neither Estes nor Sopo responded to requests for comment.
So far, the investigators claimed that the efforts failed up front, with applications flagged as suspicious. Those, of course, are the applications they caught. It seems at least questionable that people this determined to cheat would have stopped at one strategy to do so, and ceased after being thwarted only once. The continuing searches might end up finding that these Florida Democrats found success elsewhere.
Stay tuned.
apparently it’s just one low level guy and nuttin to worry about.
yup— just a few (88)
And what difference does it make now, anyway?
It was just a bump in the road.
Democrats? Vote fraud? Shazam! Say it ain’t so Joe Kennedy!
They stole the last election.
And they’ll get away with it.
So they’ll steal the next one.
Have a nice day. :)
I am sure, the current IRS debacle could never be tied in to voter fraud. No way possible.
This could get very interesting. Can't wait to hear what LtCol West has to say about it!
Yes - a rogue lone wolf.
Everyone around him was attempting to commit voter fraud yet he knew nothing about it.
Garcia was married to Aileen Maria Ugalde, general counsel for the University of Miami.
Can’t fit anymore under this one, bring on another bus!
MIAMI — South Florida congressman Joe Garcia said Saturday that the “system is prone to fraud” following the resignation of his chief of staff amid a voting fraud scheme.
At a press conference on Saturday, Garcia said: “I think it was a well-intentioned attempt to maximize voter turnout.”
Watch for him to show up again working for a Dem politician after the dust settles. They take care of their thugs.
Wasn’t there an article a while back (days) that said Bozo essentially “won” by 200,000 votes spread out strategically in a few states? Fla., Ohio, Va. Many of us saw the fraud that night but the country decided to “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”. Like a cheated on wife, once you start pretending you don’t know it just gets worse ans worse. When will people wake the hell up? When your spouse is actually screwing someone next to you in bed? Is that how far they want to take this?
worst part is we all know whomever is in charge will sat pretty much that. “we can’t do anything about it now.”
Boy, that news will be all over ABCNNBCBS, PMSNBC and the NYT, LAT, WA Compost, etc...NOT!
didn’t quite get all your homepage
quotes, but liked the rest
I’m 90% sure nappy’s ammo buy was for when the extent of ‘12 vote fraud is discovered and realized.
