Today's headline in the Northwest Indiana Times: "Dozen more charged in 2003 [East Chicago] elections" The Lake County Vote Fraud Task Force has filed 56 felony charges against 12 people linked to voter fraud in the 2003 Lake County primary elections, including a former East Chicago councilman, a Lake County sheriff's deputy and an East Chicago city employee. Today's action brings the total number of people charged for fraud by the Task Force to 34. The total number of felony charges filed is now nearly 160. Wow. It's reassuring that officials in other parts of the country take election fraud...

(National scrutiny returns for 5 accused of waylaying GOP-rented cars) Fourteen months after President George W. Bush was re-elected without carrying Wisconsin, five men who worked for the Kerry-Edwards campaign, including the sons of two prominent Milwaukee politicians, go on trial today on felony counts of vandalism in the tire-slashing of more than 20 vehicles rented by Republican campaigners.

While voter fraud is not new in this nation, it seems to be gathering steam in recent years with the absentee voting explosion, loosened voting registration requirements and fewer controls, not to mention the enormous incentives for successful practitioners. A scant 87 votes changed the course of world history in 1948. Out of one million votes cast, an 87-vote margin caused a young Texas congressman named Lyndon Baines Johnson to become a United States senator. What the history books neglect to tell us is that, but for widespread vote buying and shameless ballot box stuffing in the corrupt barrios of...

A special prosecutor will look into allegations of election fraud in Saratoga County. Once the state police wrap up its investigation of alleged election fraud in Mechanicville, the Rockland County district attorney will handle the case. Mechanicville's Republican candidate for mayor claims the city Democratic chair and his brother fraudulently filled out absentee ballot applications for 30 voters. The documents appear to have the same handwriting. Saratoga County District Attorney Jim Murphy asked for a special prosecutor because his office is prosecuting potential witnesses in the case on unrelated matters.

OVER THE TOP by Timothy Rollins, Editor and Publisher First of Two Parts October 31, 2005 Once again, Democrat Governor Jim Doyle of Wisconsin (right) has gone over the top in his decision to veto - for the third time - legislation requiring photo ID for voting at the polls. Despite addressing past flaws in earlier versions of similar bills submitted by the Republican-controlled legislature that deservedly died a quick death over failure to have sufficient safeguards, the fact that Doyle was quick at the trigger to veto this latest version only serves to reinforce in the minds of many...

Note: Links show how the facts of the case this article describes correspond to patterns uncovered in San Francisco's stadium election investigation. Earlier this year in an office building in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, witnesses were still talking about the 1996 election for the U.S. Senate in which Democrat Mary Landrieu defeated Republican Louis "Woody" Jenkins. "This nice person drove up and asked whether I was registered," one woman said to the lawyers and investigators for Jenkins. "I told him I was but I didn't feel like going. He said, 'If I paid you, would you go?' I...

The Tennessee attorney general rejected a request from Republicans on Friday to investigate a Democratic candidate's 12-vote victory for a state Senate seat vacated by John Ford. Ford resigned in May after his indictment on federal bribery and extortion charges. His sister, Ophelia Ford, defeated Republican opponent Terry Roland by a vote of 4,332 to 4,320 in a special election Thursday. The state GOP asked Attorney General Paul Summers to investigate the election, citing allegations of voting irregularities and improper vote counting. But Summers declined, saying state and county election officials would "ensure that the statutory process for determining the...

TRENTON, Sept. 15 - The joke has long been that dead people vote in Hudson County, New Jersey's legendary enclave of machine politics. But now the joke may be on New Jersey, according to a new analysis of voter records by the state's Republican Party. Comparing information from county voter registration lists, Social Security death records and other public information, Republican officials announced on Thursday that 4,755 people who were listed as deceased appear to have voted in the 2004 general election. Another 4,397 people who were registered to vote in more than one county appeared to have voted twice,...

"Voters decide nothing; people who count votes decide everything." – Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin Back in 1993 when I ran for Congress, my campaign put out 25,000 flyers urging all Americans to read "Vote Scam: The Stealing of America,"by James and Kenneth Collier. Investigating vote fraud has been one of my major projects since 1993, because it is real. I left the Republican Party as a lifetime member back in 1996 after I finally came to the sickening conclusion that the GOP was working hand in hand with the Democratic (Communist) Party to destroy our republic and turn us into...

Recently I wrote a piece titled “Who’s Really Stealing Elections?” in which I reported on a study documenting the rampancy of Democrat vote-fraud. In my article I provided a few examples of such shenanigans and promulgated an explanation of some of the moral/social realities that make them more prevalent in inner-cities. Since then, I have been contacted by a source (who wishes to remain anonymous) who is a local Washington, D.C. community leader and who has “done some computer work for several candidates over the years in DC.” He is also a man who has conducted his own study of...

On the same day Republicans sent a bill for a photo ID requirement to Gov. Jim Doyle for a third time, the state party sent evidence to investigators Tuesday that suggests at least nine people who voted in Milwaukee last November may have cast ballots in other cities, including Chicago and Minneapolis. At a Milwaukee news conference, party leaders - including the sponsors of the photo ID bill - said the findings of duplicate voters here and in other cities add a new urgency to reforms. They also called on investigators, who already have charged nine people with voter fraud...

(Milwaukee, WI)…The Republican Party of Wisconsin released the results of their investigation into new cases of fraudulent voting behavior at a press conference in front of 1680 N. Astor St, in Milwaukee, the site of a highly suspect case. The investigation strongly indicates double voting occurred during the November ’04 elections and that voter fraud has crossed state lines. In tandem with the findings, state legislators are messaging Senate Bill 42 today, a measure making it a requirement to show a photo ID at the polls, to Governor James E. Doyle. “The evidence of voter fraud in Milwaukee continues to...

Five people, including the head of the East St. Louis Democratic central committee, were named today in a federal indictment alleging voter fraud in 2004. The indictment says the five took part in a conspiracy to pay voters for their votes in the Nov. 2, 2004, general election. Named in the indictment are Charles Powell Jr., head of the city's Democratic committee, along with Jesse Lewis, Sheila Thomas and Kelvin Ellis, Democratic precinct committeemen, and Yvette Johnson, a precinct worker. Ronald J. Tenpas, U.S. Attorney for southern Illinois, also announced that four people -- Leroy Scott Jr., Lillie Nichols, Terrance...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Milwaukee County certified its election results in the 2004 presidential race without reviewing key documents required under state law to verify the vote count in the city of Milwaukee, the state's top election official said Thursday. The state Elections Board launched an investigation into why the state's largest county approved voting results without receiving the materials after the Nov. 2 election, said executive director Kevin Kennedy. The investigation could result in a legal challenge to the outcome of the presidential race because the state used incomplete information to certify the results, said state Sen. Joe Leibham, R-Sheboygan....

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) - Five East St. Louis Democrats were charged in a scheme to buy votes in November's election in a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday. An undetermined number of voters were paid $5 or $10 to cast a Democratic ballot in the Nov. 2 election, court records said. The money allegedly came from the St. Clair County Democratic Committee, though there was no indication the county committee knew how the funds would be used. Federal prosecutors charged four Democratic committeemen and one precinct worker, a day after three other committeemen and a precinct worker pleaded guilty to related...

Omygosh! MoveOn.org, disgruntled Democrats and even PEST (post election stress trauma) sufferers were absolutely correct about vote fraud, especially in black neighborhoods, in Florida during last November's election. Mayor Buddy Dyer, a judge and two campaign workers surrendered Friday on a felony charge of paying for the collection of absentee ballots in last year's election. . . .The indictments had been issued a day earlier by a grand jury that was looking at whether Thomas had illegally collected absentee ballots in predominantly black neighborhoods before the March 2004 election. So, sadly it is true--once again, blacks down South are still...

Voter Fraud stories have been done by many local news agencies. However, the "BIG" picture has been ignored. In order to keep it in the correct propective we need to see the overall picture. Please ad any links to other articles and states that have already been working on the "voter fraud" issue. We do appreciate what local law enforcer and media have been doing to bring this to the attention of the MSM.....Now someone needs to connect the dots.

As the debate rages over using the Yucca Mountain as a burial ground for thousands of tons of radioactive material, a better site for unwanted nuclear waste holds its mute vigil in the skies above the Nevada desert: the Moon. After 20 years of study, last July President Bush signed a bill making Yucca Mountain the planned site to house 77,000 tons of nuclear refuse. The site is to be open for business by 2010, located in Nevada desert, 90 miles (150 kilometers) from that gambling Mecca, Las Vegas. Since its approval, politicians, scientists, lawyers, environmental activists, and protesting citizens...
