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.......
any precinct where more votes are cast than voters registered forfeits their votes from being counted. Ha ha ha!
Exactly....that will roast their acorns!
Everyone should save the report and print copies and pass them around.....
He mailed in his registration information with his party affiliation listed as "Republican". He got no voter card.
Three weeks later, he did the same thing. After two weeks, still no voter card.
Once more, he submitted a registration application and, once more, got no response.
Then he decided to register as a Democrat . . . . . . his voter card arrived in four days.
Yes, yes, YES!!
Yea, hath the vast right wing conspiracy said there was voter fraud?
(Paraphrase from the original Chaldean)
I like this idea. It’s not as invasive as a biometric chip mentioned above (scary idea.)
I’m actually more worried about diebold vote counting fraud than actual people voting multiple times fraud. There is a funny video over at “The Onion” right now about Diebold accidentally releasing the election results early. Really good.
I’ve also heard about Karl Rove’s mailers with regards to vote manipulation. (You send out mailers to voter addresses requesting that they be responded to and returned. If they are not returned it is assumed that the voter does not live at the address and the vote is challenged and tosses out. You won’t even be aware that your vote didn’t count.) Can’t say for sure if it’s true but I bet there’s dirty tricks all around. It’s probably something he learned from the dems.
I hate to be paranoid but sometimes you just can’t help yourself.
The Democrats have this program down.
When a DA begins to research this stuff, they run to the media and scream “Political Bias”, or the dreaded “RACISM!!!”. End of Career....
When the boss of the DA’s demands action, and replaces those US Attorneys who won’t investigate voter fraud, Democrats scream “SCANDAL!!” to the media, and demand congressional hearings, call for President’s impeachment, as well as the removal of the head of the Justice Department...
We live in a MEDIA SOCIETY, folks. And the Democrats play the Propaganda game far better than we do...
Wisconsin probably would have gone for Bush.
No body goes into the black areas to check out the voting fraud because of being a afraid.
Fraud happened then and soon will be happening now (if it hasn’t already!)
In 2000 Bush lost by 5000 votes.
There are two areas with a propensity to vote fraud: absentee ballots and inner cities. So, eliminate absentee ballots except for the military, and use the “inked thumb” for everyone else.
There. Fixed.
Unfortunately, that fix has about as much chance as requiring photo ID.
In Maryland in 1994, people who were known ot be in prison or dead voted anyway. Apparently, they voted heavily for Parris Glendening, who won by fewer votes than teh number of “disputed” ones.
Why does this happen predominantly in Dimmycrap states?
“I am VERY wary for this November...”
With regard to voter and vote fraud, this Nov. will be a bloodbath.
The "voter fraud is an urban legend" argument applies only when Democrats win.
“We live in a MEDIA SOCIETY, folks. And the Democrats play the Propaganda game far better than we do...”
Very true. I believe it is because we, for the most part, are honest and they believe that the end justifies the means. The means they use include lies, distortions, race baiting, “for the chidren”, and many other outright deceptions.
....the end justifies the means.
Cheating and lying are second nature to liberals.....
The other irony is that the country was mostly red when counted county by county.
Gives new meaning to the cry "Rise up, and vote!" ;o)
I've posted this story before but it bears repeating.
I was a poll watcher in PA in 2004 and they sent me to a black precinct that went 100% for gore in 2000. Algore got all 419 available votes.
In 2004, me {and my fellow poll watchers} along with my snub nose S & W 38, video cam, digital camera, went to the polls.
The final vote count was kerry 202, GWB 4.
Our presence didn't change the demonRAT vote toward kerry but we did keep most of the dead from voting, and kept the repeat votes to a minimum.
GWB still lost in PA, but it was due to voter fraud. Some precincts in Philly voted 104% for kerry.
Our state reps passed a voted ID law last year, but fat, fast eddy, the pimp gov. vetoed the law.
Without voter fraud, the demonRATs would not win in PA.
What the story omitted was the fact that in 2000 Bush lost to Gore in Wisconsin by only five thousand votes out of more than two million cast. After the election a Dem operative from New York City named Susan Gilligan, or some name like that, publicly bragged about passing out smokes and cash in Milwaukee to street people to vote for Gore. No outrage there. (smirk)
What we need is a federal law calling for harsh treatment of anyone convicted of vote fraud. All of the Kennedys would be in jail.
I always marveled at the Iraqis with purple fingers on election day. Why can’t we do even something that low-tech?
That sort of thing only works in places where ordinary things are hard to get. In the US, you can get purple ink and every other color all over the place. Trust me, we don’t want the US to become the sort of place where that system would work!
Maybe I’m missing something, but why would you steal the ink unless you were going to forcibly dip someone’s thumb in it? To what end?
strong residue of a certain color ink on them. And of course there are the religious objectors (JWs). And leftist troublemakers who would disrupt the election process by showing up at the precincts with purple thumbs when they actually hadn’t voted yet, demanding records be checked. And I guarantee that in some hard core pockets of organized vote fraud, the real ink would be replaced with one whose color can be chemically neutralized just as fast as it went on. Really, low tech security measures just don’t work in a high tech country.
Fraudulent electronic ballot stuffing can be detected far, far more easily than fraudulent registering and people voting in multiple areas.
You can use sign-in records to make sure there are the correct number of votes cast in a precinct, and the newer diebold voting machines print a paper record that the voter can see and verify when they vote.
In most cases, you should be able to detect that there was a problem, and go back to the paper trail to discover what happened. It does however require good post election canvasing, which should be observed by independent people as well as someone from both parties to make sure that it is done right.
The biggest problems are still low tech, and they exist because the politicians that are in power won't allow for meaningful reform.
