While the Obama Justice Department mounts a legal challenge against Florida for purging ineligible voters from its rolls, a television news station broadcasts an unbelievable segment that proves non U.S. citizens living in the Sunshine State vote regularly in elections.
The investigative piece was aired this week by an NBC affiliate in southwest Florida that actually tracked down and interviewed non U.S. citizens who are registered to vote and have cast ballots in numerous elections. The segment focused on Lee County, which has a population of about 620,000 and Collier County with a population of around 322,000. The reporter spent about two months digging around the voter rolls in the two counties and the discoveries are dumbfounding.
In that short time, more than 100 people registered to vote in those two areas were proven to be ineligible by the reporter. A Cape Coral woman, eligible to vote in elections, was tracked down through jury excusal forms that verify shes not a U.S. citizen. A Naples woman, who is not a U.S. citizen either, voted six times in 11 years without being detected by authorities. A Jamaican man is also registered to vote though hes not eligible. The reporter obtained his 2007 voter registration form, which shows the Jamaican man claims to be a U.S. citizen. Problem is, no one bothers checking to see if applicants are being truthful.
Incredibly, election supervisors confirmed on camera that theres no way for them to verify the citizenship of people who register to vote. The only way to detect fraud is if the county offices that oversee elections receive a tip, they say, and only then can they follow up. As inconceivable as this may seem, it appears to be true. Election supervisors in counties across the United States have their hands tied when it comes to this sort of voter registration fraud. They neither have the resources nor the authority to take action without knowledge of specific wrongdoing.
In an effort to remedy the situation, Florida Governor Rick Scott launched a program a few years ago to purge ineligible voters from registration rolls. The Department of Justice (DOJ) was quick to sue the state to stop the purging because the agency claims it discriminates against minorities. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has colluded with the DOJ in Florida and the head of the groups local chapter says purging voter rolls disproportionately affects the states most vulnerable groups , namely minorities.
Judicial Watch has been a leader in investigating voter fraud and in 2012 launched a special Election Integrity Project . As part of the initiative JW has examined publicly available data that indicates that voter rolls in a number of statesincluding Florida, Mississippi, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, California, Colorado and Ohiocontain the names of individuals who are ineligible to vote. The JW investigation has showed that there appear to be more individuals on voter registration lists in these states than there are individuals eligible to vote, including dead people.
Thank you so much!
This is on the opposite coast where West lost and unfortunately, wouldn’t fight for a recount!
If this isn’t proof that the democrats are cheating and have been cheating all along, I don’t know what is. Herein, you can see why the democrats are fighting so hard to resist Voter ID. Somehow you know that in the last election for president, Obama didn’t have a majority until you count the cheating.
She voted Republican?
I didn't ask you if a single Republican voter had ever voted illegally, or been voted illegally by a relative. Aunt Millie dies, an absentee ballot comes in the mail, someone might use their vote, even a Republican. But when has a Republican office seeker made vote fraud systematized and used it to gain an office they would not otherwise have attained? I am not aware of any example.
Bear in mind that vote fraud has become virtually untraceable. Finding it requires huge labor-intensive efforts because most of the safeguards have been intentionally tossed overboard.
You’re absolutely right, and what hasn’t been tossed overboard Holder is trying his best to scuttle with lawsuits.
