Criminal Complaint Filed Against Kos for Conspiracy to Commit Vote Fraud
Illinois Review ^ | 1-12-08 | John Bambenek

Apparently, according to Michigan law, advocating for people to vote in an election in which they are unqualified to do so is a felony...

Yesterday, I filed a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General against Daily Kos' blogger Markos Moulitsas, requesting an investigation into whether Moulitsas is encouraging voter fraud in next week's Michigan GOP primary.

The idea of the freedom to vote is part of the bedrock foundation of this nation. Vote fraud is not a new concept; likely it reaches back even to the time of the founders. However, once vote fraud is discovered, it should be prosecuted aggressively like all flagrant violations of the law. Daily Kos' call, under the direction of Markos Moulitsas himself, for a conspiracy to commit massive vote fraud during the Michigan primaries may be one of those serious attempts to circumvent election law.

In Daily Kos' January 10 posting entitled "Let's have fun in Michigan," Moulitsas called on Democrats to cross party lines and vote in the Republican primary for the express purpose of helping Mitt Romney win. Romney, he says, will be a "weak" opponent for the Democrats in November. Daily Kos makes no attempt to hide the fact they are influencing Republican primaries as Democrats to benefit Democrats.

Moulitsas' call could be felonious. Michigan state law clearly indicates that unqualified electors voting in elections is a felony. It also specifies that counseling or aiding someone to vote in an election they are unqualified for is also a felony. Election law clearly specifies that to vote in a party's primary, one must actually belong to that party.

Clinton is the candidate of the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council), not the DNC, headed by Howard Dean. The DNC is theoretically neutral, and I don’t think Dean is a big Clinton fan. Many of her super delegates committed when the MSM was following the “Clinton Inevitability” meme. Her support isn’t all that strong through the party.

As right as you may be on that, I wouldn't put anything past the clintons.
