We're continually told that Republicans are being paranoid when they want voters to show ID to prevent fraud.
Well, take a look at a newly-released investigation of the Milwaukee Police Department on voter fraud in the 2004 election — the year, as you'll recall, that John Kerry carried Wisconsin by about 11,000 votes out of almost 3 million.
The first screaming conclusion: "The reports of more ballots cast than voters recorded were found to be true."
UPDATE: This is fascinating reading, and huge, as it obliterates the "voter fraud is an urban legend" argument.
Page 8: "For example, a woman residing in the 4900 block of N. 18th with no recorded date of birth listed is also recorded in the 4900 block of N. 108th with a date of birth. This voter did reside at the N. 108th address at the time of the November General Election. She is now registered to vote and, more important, recorded as voting in two different Wards in the City of Milwaukee."
During a section dealing with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the report states, "over 10 percent of the ballots cast in Ward 39 during the 2004 General Election were not properly certified by the Election Inspectors or were ineligible to be cast in this Ward." (page 23) "Over 2600 additional persons who do not live in Sandburg Hall are registered and able to vote from an address where they do not reside."
Yes, I'd say republicans have reason for concern. I smell acorns!
ping for later
Those radical leftists in acorn stole the Washington State election for governor from Dino Rossi and gave it to that whack liberal Christine Haywire.....
The frightening thing about this is that it will continue because: a) it is so easy to do, b) there will be no consequenses for doing it. There will be no voter I.D. bills passed in the states where the fraud is occuring because most of the people in power have benefitted from fraud and probably encourage it.
I just left Washington and moved to Wisconsin. Where in the world can I go to get away from all of this crap? Sheesh!
Biometric ID should be required for voting. Fingerprints will do for now, with computerized matching to the print on the registration, and recording the voter as having voted so s/he can re-vote elsewhere. And for any election to national office, the system should be national, automatically matching the fingerprint to all registered voters in the nation, immediately blocking voting at other locations by anyone presenting the same fingerprint.
If someone tries to vote in New Jersey in the morning and in New York in the evening, s/he will blocked at the New York precinct becuase his/her fingerprint will show as already having voted. It should also automatically cancel voter registrations at all locations other than the first one where the voting occurred, and the individual’s remaining registration should be flagged for post-election verification.
oh, wait, nevermind...
bearing in mind that the closer an election is, the more that situation is ripe for fraud. And this November could be 4th-down-and-inches-to-go close.
Contact New York state republican party for information on voter fraud countermeasures. Guilianni campaign, State party. Those guys put in place a program after Guiianni lost to Dinken’s in his first run because of gross fraud.
Durham NC has more registered voters than residents 18 and older.
Hey....they won’t do anything about it. Kerry is probably sitting back laughing about it. Look at the Democrats today. They have totally changed how they view our country. They are running a socialist and a do nothing for President. Obama is black, are we ready for a black President? I don’t think so. He is a pacifyer and possibly a muslim. Do we take a chance on turning this country over to muslims? Not worth the chance to me. The thing is......50% of the people in this country fall for Hillarys and Obama’s scams. What’s happened to our people. Sounds like they are afraid of their own shadows.
Sounds like they are afraid of their own shadows.
Yes! and combine that with voter fraud we get a far left black socialist running the country!
Just looking at the basics of our political system, it’s amazing how someone like a radical socialist Obama can even be in contention.....
With today’s technology, it would be easy eliminate most voter fraud. Each voting place should have a video camera where a voter states his or her name and address which is the minimal information given to the election worker. Each party would be given a copy of the video recording. They could simply sift through the record for fraudulent voters. The evidence would be on the recording to prosecute. I think most criminals would be reluctant to provide video evidence of their crime and voter fraud would go way down.
Garden of Eden (prior to Genesis 3). The crap has completely infested everywhere else, ever since.
until some D.A. somewhere in the country grabs this bull by the horns and makes sure criminal actions are treated as such,this will go on forever. i guess too many politicians are quite happy with the status quo for anything to happen higher up.
Simple fix to the problem: any precinct where more votes are cast than voters registered forfeits their votes from being counted. Ha ha ha!
never happens. its all about every vote counting. counting again and again and again.......
