I have always disliked the "goo-goo" types. That stands for good government, the people who want everybody to vote. I don't want the uninformed to vote because either they will vote the familiar name or they will vote the way somebody tells them to vote. The goo-goo crowd must be in seventh heaven because in Indianapolis 105% of the voting age population is eligible to vote. Thanks to the so-called nonpartisan Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a great many people who are dead, invented or just plain silly have registered. On FOX News one ACORN representative admitted...

The liberals defending ACORN's fraudulent voter registration efforts have said again and again voter registration fraud doesn't lead to voter fraud. Well, we didn't have to wait till Election Day to find out they're wrong. The Associated Press reported Friday that the New Mexico GOP found 28 people who voted fraudulently in Albuquerque during the June Democratic primary by absentee ballot. One of the ballots was cast from someone named "Duran-Duran" The GOP's review was conducted in House District 13 and only included 92 ballots. That means roughly a third of the ballots examined found by the GOP were fraudulent....

Both the Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP and the Milwaukee teachers union can join Attorney General JB Van Hollen's lawsuit against the state election's agency. A Dane County judge allowed the intervention Thursday. Van Hollen is trying to force the Government Accountability Board to cross reference voter registration data with DMV records going back to 2006. The NAACP says the suit, if successful, will prevent thousands of blacks from voting as more than half of Milwaukee County's African-Americans don't have drivers' licenses. The group also recently criticized Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm for creating a voter fraud task force...

CROWN POINT | Lake County Republican Chairman John Curley wants a federal investigation into hundreds of voter registrations bearing fictitious signatures or the names of dead and underage people. "Fraudulent applications are the workings of ACORN groups operating from Milwaukee and Chicago who are getting out the vote for Obama. I'm Republican, but I want everyone who should vote to vote. But I want a clean election," Curley said at a Wednesday news conference. Lake County elections officials acknowledged they have found problems and had to reject a large portion of the 5,000 registration forms turned in recently by the...

ACORN Sprouts Voter Fraud – Group Has Ties To Obama Campaign September 19, 2008 – The Association of Community Organizations for Reform (ACORN), is, once again, involved in voter fraud across the country. ACORN is a socialist group that is an out-growth of New Left politics. The latest scandal involves voter fraud in Detroit, Michigan, where clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration forms submitted by ACORN. According to the Detroit Free Press, the Michigan Secretary of State’s office is receiving complaints from all over the state. The Secretary has turned the phony applications over to...

According to latest news, only 15.5% of US voters in overseas locations requested a ballot for the 2006 election, and only 1/3 of those voted. Pardon while I laugh. The Army Times Publishing Company has surveyed military members and the military votes Republican at a rate of 69 - 85%. There were 600,000 military personnel stationed overseas in 2006. It seems a safe bet that had the true military vote count been tallied, the Dems would not have squeeked-by with "wins" in MT, VA, and several other states. In other words, the Dems probably took the Senate through disenfranchising the...

Calling the 2004 presidential election the beginning of a fresh start for America, Teresa Heinz Kerry asked supporters at a Monday Rally at Scranton High School to "vote often" today. "Do you know how to vote often?" the wife of Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry asked a crowd of just over 1,000 in the school's auditorium. "You vote once, and then you take one, two, three, four, five people to vote with you. That's voting often, so vote often." Citing the loss of thousands of jobs, rising health care costs, a soaring federal budget deficit and the high number of...
