Fears of Massive Illegal Ballots in Fla. - Again!

They're at it again in Florida, this time obtaining absentee ballots in the name of unsuspecting voters to fraudulently cast the stolen ballots in the November 5 election.

While Janet Reno is fighting to keep watchdog groups from monitoring voting in Miami-Dade County, signs of illegal election fraud schemes are already cropping up in Central Florida.

Acting on dozens of complaints that a vote fraud scheme using the names of Hispanics to get absentee ballots in their names without their knowledge is underway, Orange-Osceola State Attorney Lawson Lamar has sent investigators to watch as Orange County Elections Supervisor Bill Cowles started opening absentee ballot envelopes that have already arrived at his office.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, investigators say that they have uncovered various schemes involving the names, addresses or other voting documents of unsuspecting Hispanic voters being used to secure an absentee ballot which can then be used by thieves to cast votes for their candidate.

Absentee ballots coming from voters in state Senate District 19 are being dusted for fingerprints and examined to determine if the signatures on the envelopes match the handwriting on registration records, Orange County Democratic Party Chairman Doug Head told the Sentinel.

According to Head who is observing the process, of the roughly 15,000 absentee ballots that have arrived, fewer than a dozen were set aside to be looked at by the canvassing board, which is set to meet Monday afternoon.

The Sentinel reports that more than 43,000 absentees have been requested in Orange County, and officials fear that a load of illegal ballots will be dropped off at election offices at the last moment.

Randy Means, spokesman for the state attorney's office, however, told the Sentinel that he would not confirm which race or candidate is being examined because it could compromise the probe.

I heard a report that the black churches are passing out voter cards (after you give a donation to the pastor). Are voting places open today? I read a report that there are going to be busloads of black parishoners organized by the democrat party going to vote.

Talk about intimidation. This is discusting making sure that black americans vote the "right" way.

That is the reason for the big hoohaw over the 200 Haitians invaders who are now in custody. They were supposed to cast at least 800 votes in Tuesday's Florida election. Oh, sure, the dems can use Jamaicans, but they'll want the full $5 per vote. The Haitians will take $2 for each ballot cast, allowing the local dem precinct folks to pocket the difference between the $2 and the $5 that the state dem party has given them (in CASH) to pay the illegals. You didn't think dems were any more honest with each other than they are the rest of us, did you?

That's the problem with Cubans. The dems could easily have gotten 200 Cubans (they have a fraternal relationship with Fidelito, they all want to destroy America), they Cubans make lousy voters. First, they want $10 per vote and second, they almost certainly would vote Republican. No, it has to be either Jamaicans or Haitians.

Florida is a hopeless sewer of corruption.
Whoever cheats the best, wins.

Who can forget the scumbag Democrats openly bringing William Dailey aboard the Gore campaign to help orchestrate a "Cook County Miracle" wherever he could? And who can forget the Democrat operative who was nabbed in Florida with a voting machine in the trunk of his car? (Gee, was that guy ever prosecuted, LOFL? Answer: no.)

Yeah, if the Republicans want to have a chance against the scumbags, they better be ready, willing, and able to cheat better, especially in Florida.

Hate to say it, but voting doesn't count for much anymore. Nowadays, it's more about manipulation, like with that postal executive who was forced to resign this week. She was the one in Arkansas who played games with the budget in order to hurt Hutchinson and help Clelend. (Gee, will that scumbag - - Deborah Willhite is her name - - be prosecuted and jailed? Answer: no.)

As long as vote fraud and cheating are tolerated and wrist-slapped and nobody who gets caught actually does hard time, this formerly great nation of ours will continue its rapid slide right down the toilet.

Keep those cards and letters [and phone tips to the voter fraud line] coming in folks. This is how we will defeat these thieves.

Poll watchers must behave in a legal way but whenever possible they must take pictures. Use a digicam and download to a laptop on site. Make it very clear to everyone that the pictures will be cross referenced not just against rap sheets but also against other polling places. Placards announcing this should be visible and they should say that the police WILL be notified. If a person shows up in line at multiple polling places he's going to jail. Be sure people know that.

Gee, a wonder who "might" profit by 20,000 illegal votes?

Gee, I wonder which party would stoop so low as to attempt voter fraud?

Gee .... such hard questions.

Gee - I WONDER IF THE D**M PAPER WOULD CONCEAL ANY REPUBLICAN SUSPICIOUS VOTE CRIMES???????????

We KNOW already that ONE unusual PHONE to ONE democratic official in Forida caused a democratic (MI) representative to immediately scream for the DOJ to start a vote fraud investigation in Florida ......

WHY THE HELL AREN'T THE REPUBLICANS DOING ANYTHING?

I'm really sorry, but we have to ban absentee ballots. Put an electronic voting machine in every PX, every US consulate, and in every voting booth across the country. That way, military voters aren't disenfranchised, a la Algore, and absentee voters will still be able to vote - AFTER presenting valid ID and proof of citizenship - but they'd be doing their voting LIVE and only on election day.

They'd have to be on a private network, and it would cost a bundle.....but how much is vote fraud costing us NOW? Electronic voting machines should also, at least in theory, make BALLOTS, paper ballots, obsolete. It's the twenty-first century. Time for the US to move the voting system into it.

This is going to be the rats' new game from now on -- throw our election process into chaos, cheat and try to steal elections. With McCauliffe, Bill and Hillary pulling the strings in all of the key states I expect nothing less from the demon party.

No surprise. I think absentee ballots are handed out a little too freely these days creating a ripe opportunity for fraud, and we all know who is doing this.
