Washington State: Scores of felons voted illegally

Seattle Times ^ | 1/23/05

[SandRat]

Scores of convicted felons voted illegally in the state's 2004 general election...

Bet they all voted for Gregorie too.

[Excuse_Me]

There's a good possibility, though, that that Canadian cow was able to vote in King County.

[rockrr]

If it comes from the Times I distrust it.

That isn't to say that this might info be true, but the Times is hardly indepentent of dispassionate here.

I wonder what they're up to?

[carolinacrazy]

That is just the tip of the iceberg. Felon votes coupled with dead voters, ineligible votes, and registered in more than one county votes are additional arguments. There is plenty here for a revote, it will be up to the judge though, and in Washington that is scary.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!

[chaos_5]

They have cited illegal votes by felons, as well as votes credited to dead people, errors in the handling of provisional ballots and problems reconciling differences between the number of people credited with voting and the total number of ballots cast.

Why is it that felons and dead ppl always vote Democratic?

[Timeout]

I read that in order to have the election thrown out, it was necessary to prove that a greater number illegal votes were cast for the winner than the margin of victory

No, that is not correct.

It is only necessary for the court to find that, because of irregularities, it is impossible to determine who got the most votes.

Given that there are so many more votes than voters, the duplicate ballots mailed to absentee voters, the "enhanced" ballots, the ballots magically "found" weeks after the election, the felon problem, the 300+ provisional ballots that were counted before they could be checked, the poll workers who witnessed people walking right past the poll workers and just dropping in ballots....well, I'd say there's enough to find that we don't know who won.

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 wonder what [the Times is] up to?

It just might be that they (and the rest of Washington MSM) are professionally embarrassed by the job blogger Stephan Sharkansky has done in unearthing the "irregularities" in the King County election process.

He's been single-handedly doing their job.

Totally agree - I believe the papers have even been using some of the enormous amount of 'leg work' he's done in writing their articles - at least they're making an attempt to get some of the word out. (see my post of today on the additional work Stefan's done).
