GOP claims voter fraud widespread

It's not just a Jersey joke, state Republican Party officials said yesterday: The dead really do vote.

After a summer-long analysis of the 4.7 million names on New Jersey's voter rolls, state GOP officials said yesterday there is evidence of "widespread" fraud -- thousands of cases where people apparently voted more than once, or voted posthumously.

The Republicans blamed Attorney General Peter Harvey, a Democrat, for failing to clean up the voter registration lists. They threatened to file a lawsuit unless Harvey acts quickly to head off problems in the Nov. 8 election.

170,558 people were registered to vote in New Jersey as well as other states. Of those, 90,025 voted in New Jersey last year, and 6,572 appeared to have voted in two states

PA is one of those states.

The NJ (and NY) fraudsters register to vote at their Pocono and surrounding areas vacation homes. My county (Wayne) saw a huge increase in absentee voting from the townships where these vacation homes are.

The area is solidly Republican currently but Democrats are making serious inroads into Pocono counties like Monroe. Most of it is people moving in to escape NJ taxes. But they bring their NJ problems and voting habits with them resulting in higher taxes, especially school taxes, which is forcing some locals to sell their homes simply because they can't afford the taxes anymore.

"4,755 individuals listed in county records as deceased also were listed as voting last year."

Aint neither one gonna do anything !

[Eepsy]

I'm still royally POed that the previous owners of my house, (gone for three years and now 15 miles away) registered at my address, and voted from my address, even though I purposely got to the polls at 7 am to warn the poll workers. When I called back the next day the poll worker admitted they had shown up, but "everyone has a right to vote don't they?"

*spit*

Blah, blah, blah.....

You could have gone to the voting site in their new location and checked to see if they had voted at their new address.
There are no controls. The only way to fix is a photo ID.

The only way to fix is a photo ID.

Absolutely right, but as soon as you say that, the liberals whine about intimidation of getting a photo ID and some conservatives start comparing it to Nazi Germany. But this persistent voter fraud and other fraud in government give away programs (like the $2000 debit cards) can only be stopped (or reduced) if federal photo IDs are used and those committing the fraud are jailed.

[Recon Dad]

The other night the Att. General of Georgia was on to discuss their efforts to get the photo ID in place. There was a lib attorney on to slam the whole thing as racist because poor black folks will be intimidated and couldn't afford it.
The AG said no problem the cards and pictures are free and we are coming around in special buses into the neighborhoods to take the pictures on the spot. The Lib was at a loss for words.

[R.W.Ratikal]

The old joke, "Is there a vote after death? Yes, be buried in Cook County," is really no joke at all.

Some voter fraud is probably inevitable in an election system supervised by so many people. But the extent of voter fraud suspected in recent elections is certainly growing. Would Democrat candidates have done as well as they did without voter fraud in their favor?

With Motor Voter laws, drivers licenses given to illegal aliens, and the loose election laws made almost necessary in a system of universal suffrage, fraud is practically invited.

It's time to consider some better system of monitoring elections. For example, a potential voter should be able to easily prove identity, citizenship and place of residence.

Everyone should not have the vote, that is clear. For instance, people on public charity in any form should not have the vote. Illegal aliens, or any other non-citizen should not have the vote. A good argument can be made that only those who pay taxes or have paid taxes should have a say in how public money should be spent.

Surely if am to share in your income I should not be the one to say how much of your income I should have.

Should there be a poll tax? Why not. Everything else is taxed.

And how about some sort of basic test of understanding what the election is about? Shouldn't a voter have some idea of what the election is about? Who is running? And some understanding of government?

[Balding_Eagle]

I think it's more basic than just a difference of opinion on how much effort one should put in to ensure one person, one vote.

I think a question that should be asked during these interviews is "Do you agree that one person should only be allowed one vote?"

The Lefties would lie, but they ought to be forced to lie right to the cameras

[Balding_Eagle]

And how about some sort of basic test of understanding what the election is about? Shouldn't a voter have some idea of what the election is about?

Of the 40+ million who voted for Gore in 2000, I say at least half didn't know what the election was about.

[Recon Dad]

Their answer is always the same, any restrictions are racists. How you come to this through logic is beyond me. They want a voter to vote in any precinct without any form of identification.
