Vote Fraud South Dakota Style - by the numbers
SD SOS web site | 10/31/2002 | me

Anyone who glances at the current South Dakota voter registration numbers, and compares them to ones from 2 years ago, can easily tell where the Democrats have perpetrated the most vote fraud.

Here are the statewide figures comparing 2000 to 2002:


          R         D       OTHER      TOTAL
       ======    ======     =====     ======
2000:  226906    181129     63117     471152
2002:  228200    183343     64441     475984
Nothing unusual there: Republicans accounted for 48.2% of all voters in South Dakota in 2002, down slightly to 47.9% in 2002. The Rats went from 38.4% to 38.5% statewide.

But, looking at the numbers at the county level reveals the Rats' plot (as if we didn't know it already):


              %INCREASE IN          % INDIAN
COUNTY       D REGISTRATION      FROM 2000 CENSUS
======       ==============      =================
Bennett          39.6%                 54.5%
Buffalo          23.6                  82.1
Corson           20.3                  60.0
Dewey            28.3                  74.5
Jackson          23.5                  48.6
Lyman            27.7                  33.7
Shannon          42.1                  93.9
Todd             42.9                  85.6
That is, in Bennett County for example, there are suddenly 39.6% more registered Democrats than there were two years ago! In all cases, Republican registration in these counties was not significantly different from 2000 to 2002, nor do population changes explain the massive Rat "influx".

South Dakota as whole has only 8.2% Indians, and Rat registration was up only 1.2% statewide. It was up at least 20% in these (mostly small) counties. Can anyone doubt that - with all 3 statewide elections (Senator, House, Governor) being so close in the polls - a few hundred fraudulent votes from the reservations could swing all three elections?

Gopod work. Very interesting. We know from news reports that a lot of the new Indian registrations are fake. The justice department investigation may stymie some of these fakers from actually voting.

Query: Given that the overall Dem #'s are up only slightly, yet there are huge increases on the Indian reservations, doesn't that mean the Dems are DOWN in the rest of the state?

You are exactly right about that. The net Democratic registration increase in those 8 counties is 4,533. This means that the Rats are in fact DOWN in the rest of the state by a net 2,319.

This could well be another reason for the fraud. South Dakota Rats, already stuck with a very Republican state in terms of registration, noticed their numbers declining outside of the central part of the state, and decided to get even in the most Politically Correct way possible. After all, you can't criticize fraud involving "minorites" or you are a racist.

A quick run through the numbers shows the most glarely fact, and that is registered R's outnumber registered D's by a wopping 20 percent or there abouts. Assuming there is equal turnout for both parties of about 50 percent, then the D's would have to overcome an approximately 22,000 vote edge to the R's. Assuming the D's overcome this disadvantage and all other things being equal, this amounts to about 5 percent of all votes cast being fraudulent!

The only other explanation would be if two thirds of all the other voters went with the D's.

Very fine analysis.

I don't think we can count on the Justice Department investigation to fix this. Ashcroft has been extremely reluctant to seem to play conservative politics. Ever since he came through the congressional gauntlet he has leaned over backward to concentrate on liberal tasks, such as prosecuting right-to-lifers or investigating alleged obstruction of black voters.

I suspect that this investigation will drone on well past November 5, that a bunch of dead Indians will vote, and that Ashcroft will then, as usual, drop the investigation because it is moot. Dems NEVER get prosecuted for vote fraud. And today's media will NEVER investigate their corruption, as they occasionally did in the old days.

I hope I'm wrong.

The really disgusting part of not prosecuting voter fraud is the fact that it can bare so much fruit. Conspiracy, Mail Fraud, Forgery, and such are crimes not even counting the election law violations. The people committing the fraud can sing all the way up the food chain. Prosecuted properly, a voter fraud case can end up right in the lap of the DNC,RNC, or whoever spawned the plot.

Ignoring voter fraud is going to spawn violence in this country. Holding office is going to be a criminal enterprise depending on which side holds the office. Just look at the words of Hillary Clinton as of late. This country is going down the crapper because a bunch of power drunk pygmy politicians and a justice department who care nothing about justice.

It is difficult to get enough fraud to beat a 3% legitimate lead statewide:

Not impossible by any means in a small state (where 3% is less than a single precint/region in a couple of big cities where fraud is deliberately ignored...)

Getting enough crooked poll officials in enough precints seems to be the limiting factor: enough fake voters/repeat voters/illegal voters/"highly encouraged" absentee voters (through union intimidation, old-folks home recruitment, hospital "voting", welfare and food kitchen polling/registration means crooked democratic voters are ALWAYS available.

But if the numbers are more than 5% fraud has always been ignored in the past.

Then again, the national press corpse ignored democractic vote fraud in any event.
