The Democrat Rackeeteering Fix is in: NJ-GOV: Jon Corzine’s Absentee Ballot Slush Fund

Is there one, (one?!) honest Democrat? C'mon, New Jersey!

NJ-GOV: Jon Corzine’s Absentee Ballot Slush Fund NRO via Redstate

National Review’s Jim Geraghty has a tremendously important story. Jon Corzine is trying to build an absentee ballot slush fund to win a recount in the New Jersey Governor’s race. Basically, the Democratic Party has asked the Secretary of State to send provisional absentee ballots out to people whose signatures on their absentee ballot requests don’t match:

In a development that is depressingly predictable, the New Jersey Democratic party is asking the state to provide provisional ballots for all these voters. Those ballots could, presumably, be used to overcome any narrow lead by Republican Chris Christie over Democrat Jon Corzine on Election Day.

Now, let’s be clear how the absentee process works in New Jersey. Third parties can pick up and return absentee ballots. A couple of weeks ago, a Democratic operative in Atlantic City plead guilty to a lesser charge of tampering with ballots. One practice mentioned in the indictment was the person picking up ballots from people and throwing them out if they weren’t for his candidate. Another example was:

They allegedly solicited applications for messenger absentee ballots from individuals not qualified to receive them and had the voters not fill in the name of the messenger, so they could fraudulently designate themselves as the authorized messengers or bearers.

And:

They allegedly obtained messenger ballots from the county clerk and submitted them to the board of elections as vote s on behalf of voters who, in fact, never received or voted the ballots or, in some cases, were given only the security envelope for the ballot and were told to sign it. Those voters were not given the opportunity to vote in most instances.

So when ballots are getting into the hands of people who didn’t even ask fro them, you have to wonder what is going on.

And lest we not forget the dead vote: Thanks to the increasing popularity of absentee voting, a rising number of the recently deceased are casting ballots -- legally.

Absentee Ballot Slush Fund

LOL, that's excellent!
How come the scumbags always come up with these great ways to steal elections while the Republicans just sit around and play with themselves?

They'll decide that nobody has standing to challenge the winner.

Or they'll ask for a recount, then say that any challenges should wait for the contested election lawsuit in the courts, and then the courts will say that the time to challenge the ballots was during the recount.

I've seen this movie before.

9 months ago. This will end with people battling it out in the streets, not a doubt in my mind.

We have to win big, that's all. Big enough that fraud isn't enough.

Then again, we just accept the fraud? Fraud is fraud. Election fraud, even with one vote should NEVER be “acceptable”. Period. We HAVE to do something about one day or another. Here is way too many dead voters in this country. The UN should be called to check our voting system like we do in the third world country.

Sad but that will have to be done or we will never win an election again. Hundred of elections will be “close” in 2010. So we are ready to say...too bad????

We need to WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING!

And then, even if we do win big, the Republicans will move on to their next ad campaign for 2010. VA for instance, if we win big does anyone expect the GOP to go back and look at voter fraud, even though it's still alive and well for the next close election? Or do you think they'll bask in the glory of the win and start planning their next campaign?

“The UN should be called to check our voting system like we do in the third world country.”

I hope this is scarcasm. The UN would rubber-stamp any election in which the leftist candidate wins as free and fair. We may as well appoint Jimmy Carter to monitor the election process.
