Over 3500 Voted Twice in 2000 Pres. Election (316,000 people are registered to vote in 2 places)
NewsMax ^ | 10/9/02 | Limbacher

The 2000 presidential election wasn't as close as everyone thought ... at least according to a new study that says as many as 316,000 people nationwide are registered to vote in two different places, and 14,486 New Yorkers were also registered to vote in Florida in 2000.

The Republican National Committee, while updating its database of over 165 million voters for changes of address (a process which is estimated to identify around 65 percent of double-voters), found that as many as 1 percent of those who were double-registered voted twice - 709 of them in Florida.

In New York, according to an investigation by the New York Post, of its 415 double voters, over 400 were from Manhattan, where almost 70 percent of voters are registered Democrat.

So, according to the numbers:

if there were actually 30 percent more (100,000) people double registered,
and there were over 200 more people who double voted in Florida,
and if 70 percent of the probable 930 who double voted in Florida were Democrat,
... well, legally, it wouldn't seem that Al Gore was close after all, would it?

Isn't there a law against double voting? Someone's got some explaining to do...

Did anyone mention all those registered twice, or more, in the same state. An aquaintance of mine in San Francisco bragged about voting twice for Clinton in 1992, in areas of the city just a few miles apart.

I am curious how exactly the Dems plan to get around how "touch screen" voting will be used this coming election to scan and record the fingerprints of felons, illegal aliens, double voters, welfare cheats, assorted other deadbeats, etc.

Being a software engineer, there have been articles in the trade pubs that, for the last couple of years, have obliquely referred to this unmentioned application of the technologies used in the new touchscreen systems, although nothing stated outright. It's pretty plain when you read into the articles, though. I've also heard word about how database systems have become much more connected and unified in just the last couple of years, connecting fingerprint, face recog and criminal systems all together.

Put all together, and it's pretty clear that these hordes of dupes that the democrats employ to subvert and cheat the system are going to feel very "disenfranchised" soon after Nov. 5.

Just scratching the surface - this doesn't count the dead and the fabricated who vote every year. (Yes, my atheist friends, there is proof of life after death - they vote Democrat!)

There was much comment at the time of the election noting that many college students actually boasted about voting twice, at college and at home. I suspect this is a major source of double voting, and that it, too, mainly leans Democrat.

I had no idea this was possible. I have been able to avoid submitting my fingerprints for anyone's database, and I don't really like this idea of recording my fingerprint AND my vote in one fell swoop. I'm gonna wear a glove when I vote next month!

The 2000 popular vote tally had a 0.51% difference between the top 2 candidates (Gore and President Bush).

There were many states that did not count all votes or exclude all fraudulent votes because the states were not close enough to be in contention. Even the Florida military ballots were not counted (although the lawsuit was won, it came too late to be added to the tally because of when the US Supreme Court decision on other Florida matters came down).

0.51% (1/2 of 1 percent) is well within America's "acceptable" margin of error. While walking in Boston in 2001, I overheard a couple of students admitting to their friends that they voted twice "because they just knew that the Republicans were going to cheat".

We'll never know for certain who really took the national vote but we all have a good idea once the fraudulant vote is excluded. Thank God (literally) that we give every state a voice in the race and don't let the high density populations on the coast dictate the way the nation is run for everyone.

Fingerprint reading off a touchscreen is NOT possible. However, if the kiosks have security cams, THAT would be a good reason for felons and people known to the INS and other LEAs to stay away. Face recognition in those environments works well enough to net loads of productive leads.

Only solution: National voter number, cross checked by a NATIONAL computer instantly as a vote is cast , just like a credit card transaction. Only one vote will be permitted per election. The RATS must be removed from ANY contact of voting procedures, reason; No honor, no laws honored, no concience.

I'd chalk it up as an urban rumor. "Recording" voters would probably violate election laws against recording devices in polling centers.

It would be worthless to record voters' fingerprints because each voter would walk up to the box with a randomly generated ID number.

My polling center in Texas doesn't even use touch screen, it uses a dial for inputs.

A touch screen could read the fingerprint to compare it against known criminals but a better system would be to have police look over voter roles for inelligible voters or to have polling centers in police stations (many wanted criminals with outstanding warrants would not show and felons could be stopped on the spot for violation).

Knowing that a criminal was at the polling center yesterday is no good. People with warrants for outstanding tickets aren't even arrested in their homes, they are generally apprehended when an officer runs their plates in traffic or they get pulled over for a traffic infraction.

If felons' guilt keeps some voters from going to the poll, however, it is a good thing (as they are not legally permitted to vote anyway).

National number can be checked at registration deadline (x days before election). Duplicates can then be weeded out (newest registration stays).

Thanks for the additional article. More proof that Bush is Legit. Even with proof, there will always be a DemocRAT willing to peddle the "They Cheated" propaganda. The last 2 paragraphs from your article I post along with a BARF ALERT!!

Bill Buck, spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, said the only instance of voter fraud in the 2000 presidential election was how minorities and others were knocked off the voting registration lists in Florida, making a Bush victory possible.

If the Republicans "are obsessed with defending Bush's legitimacy, that's their problem," he said. "For every example of a person who may be multiple-registered, we can find hundreds of people who were disenfranchised."

I believe this idea can SOLVE the crooked elections and should be screamed about till it gets installed.
