Democrats Urge Kansans to Vote Illegally

Here's one reason Kansas elected a Democrat governor on Nov. 5: Her party urged people to register to vote after the legal deadline.

An aide to Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh said the office was investigating a campaign flier distributed by Democrats in Douglas County on Election Day, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported last week.

'Not a Problem' to Be a Criminal

The flier, which was distributed on Election Day and which noted it was "Paid for by Kansas Democratic Party," urged voters to re-elect Rep. Dennis Moore and to vote for Kathleen Sebelius for governor. "Not Registered? Not a problem. Register and vote today at your polling site," it urges.

However, Kansas law requires voters to be registered 15 days before an election.

Thornburgh wrote to Kansas Democratic Party Chairman Tom Sawyer for an "explanation," said Brad Bryant, state elections director for Thornburgh.

"It's at least confusing to the voters and misleading to the voters," Bryant said. "I don't know if it's illegal."

They don't know if it's illegal to break the law?!

Sawyer was brazen about the Democrats' stunt. He explained that many Kansans did not get excited about an election until after the registration deadline.

"Anybody can register to vote on Election Day, and a lot of people do. That happens a lot all across this state," he told WIBW radio.

They can even vote after the election if their vote is needed for a win ;-)

Greetings and Benedictions y'll

Thanks for the ping, I too will pass along my wishes to Phil Kline that he look into this blatent attemp at fraud.
BTW have you all seen this thread on Freepers against vote fraud http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/792697/posts

IIRC this is going to be a FRN project for the 2004 elections.
I will try to research this some more and pass on what I have learned.

Thanks for the flag. I'm outraged, but I'm not surprised.

I'm outraged, but I'm not surprised.

A few years ago the Dems got in similar trouble here in Topeka. They were obtaining advanced voter ballots and absentee ballots and "helping" the poor elderly voters by filling them out for them. Of course I cannot recall hearing about any penalty phase of the situation.

z z z z z Democrats committing vote fraud. The sky is blue. Dogs bark. I mean...vote fraud is just something Democrats do.

I don't think the vote fraud was big enough to give Kathleen the win. I heard on the Jim Cates show that, while the students were allowed to register, they weren't allowed to vote.

Besides, Kathleen didn't need VOTE fraud win. She already had the biggest frauds helping her: moderate Republicans.

That was certainly generous of those loving Democrats to help out our elderly like that. How heartwarming.

The Democrats were mortified at the evolution ruling three years ago. But when they're in the news for voter fraud, they don't hide in shame; they stand up and admit it proudly! Thanks, Mr. Sawyer.

Sorry. I'm in a particularly bad anti-Democrat mood.

Perhaps all Republicans aren't right wing pro-life wacko's

This Republican is certainly a right-wing pro-life wacko. And I'm lovin' it every day.

[RAT Patrol]

Of course.

As always, you're a wealth of information. Pretty interesting story.

The Democratic party has employed crooked voting schemes for so long it almost seems quaint.

There is a current story of a billboard in South Topeka that depicts a bunch of guys in sombreros working construction while non-sombrero wearing Americans are out of work. According to the news report on KSNT, the un-signed billboard was paid for by a Topeka based iron workers union. Such hypocracy from a labor union that supports the non-racist, politically correct, illegal alien loving democrats. Using their member's cash and hard work while offering "advice" as to who to vote for if you want to keep your job. If I cannot find a story about this I will take a picture myself and post it vanity style.

My dad told me about this. I'm going to drive down there so I can see it this week. I know I should be surprised this happened, but...for some reason I'm not.

I also heard Bill Bunten was appointed to fill Jenkins' spot. HOORAY!!!

The Bunten family were long time neighbors and Bill's son "Billy" was a year behind me in school from first grade through graduating from Topeka High. Mr. Bunten will do a great job. I supported him for mayor, but that idiot Felker came from nowhere to beat him.

This is where a lot of the provisional ballots come from. People vote in the wrong place or move and go into vote and they are set aside until after the count is finished. In Kline's race they counted them, or some of them, because it had the potentional to change the outcome of the election. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think thats how it works.

Capital idea!
