How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud
1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).
2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).
3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)
4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).
5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)
6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).
7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).
8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).
9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).
10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."

I agree. But the GOP has to get over this fear of being racist and take on this fraud head on!
100% or more of the registered voting -- NO. The New York Post cite is a column blindly citing Jude Wanniski making that claim about Philadelphia. For 3 years now, I have been challenging each such poster to name one such precinct. It didn't happen -- I've looked at the PHilly ward and precinct returns, as well as many other big cities.
Turnout as a percentage of registered is usually a bit lower (sometimes a lot lower) in the solid Dem areas than in good GOP areas. Some of the registrations may be fraudulent in Dem areas -- but that;s a diffrent issue.
If you can cite a precinct wuith 100% turnout, I'm all ears.

Mehlman/Rove probably don't know about it. However, in my County I know of at least 3 poll watchers who were "fired" before the election by RINOs in charge. There was no reason given -- just that the 3 in question my "offend" a voter by being too aggressive. None of these people had ever stepped over the line; they just weren't "friends" with the local campaign manager.
This same campaign manager also tried to scuttle the religious coalition's lit drop blitz at churches on the Sunday before the election. This was a national project (secret in nature), yet she refused to allow the people doing it to put their voter guides on the windshields at her church and tipped off the police about some of the other churches.
I know she was reamed out by the national representative by phone, but that whole campaign effort is now dismantled and the whole fiasco will be forgotten by next time when she will still be in charge.
The poll watching effort was a disaster, BTW. The palm pilots didn't work. They could have learned something if they had only included experienced watchers in the planningn and execution.
Bump for future reference.
