The time to start detecting and fighting vote fraud is now. I have published my own experiences:

How interesting that certain “voters” can have it both ways: —

Participate in elections

and

at the same time

Beg off of jury duty

No Problemo! for some!

”…the U.S. Attorney estimated that there were 80,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Chicago.”

And that number doesn’t even take into consideration all the ‘dead’ democrats from Cook County that pull the “Dawn of the Dead” act every 4 years.

Cut off federal funding to every state that doesn't require proof of US citizenship, local residency and proper registration when voting.

That will solve the problem in about 5 minutes. Of course, we'll probably end up with yet another dumb "solution" like the Motor-Voter Act or the Helping America Vote (sic) Act.

I called the Los Angeles County Registrar’s office and asked about this topic. They scoffed at me and said there is not enough manpower to enforce the laws against illegal aliens voting.

How intemperate of this author!

Does he not know that the new and improved GOP under a John McCain Presidency wants these criminals to be citizens and therefore we should not be saying anything negative about them?

Also, their God’s children, don’t you know per John McCain!

I’ve known a couple of leftist illegal aliens who claimed that they voted and claimed they had a right to vote because they owned a house in the US and because the elections of US politicians affected the world.

Illegals registering to vote, or actually voting, needs to be made a felony.

Actually, the time was Jan. 2001. Sadly, it is too late to have any bearing on this election.

The bureaucrats are covering up the problem because they know very well how vote fraud helps democrats. In the 1996 election I knocked on the doors of 200 registered voters in Orange County (Bob Dornan’s district). I discovered that 50% of the registered voters DID NOT EXIST!!! Organized, professional vote fraud is very profitable. The perps are PAID to win elections. Illegals aliens are an important part of the fraud, but our attack on vote fraud needs to be much broader. Now is the time to start checking voter rolls. BTW, I always thought that every phantom voter needs a subscription to the LA Times, Rolling Stone, etc. In this day and age it is much easier to discover which registered voter does not exist or is an illegal.

I helped a friend prepare for his citizenship test. One of the questions was “What is the most important right of citizenship?” Answer: the right to vote. Looks like whoever put the test together was citing the ideal rather than the reality, or was just b*llsh*tting, since the policies of the government itself obviously undermine this citizens’ right.

I say purge the voter registration rolls and start over. Require anyone wanting to register to provide a birth certificate or naturalization papers, a photo ID, and proof that they actually live where they say they live. Issue a voter’s registration card with a photo. If you don’t have all of that, then you won’t be voting.

The government taxes us, sends our children off to war, regulates our lives. I’m not saying I like that, but that’s the way it is. But on top of that, to have that goverment come to power through illegal means such as voter fraud is too much to take. To hell with that. That is not what America claims to be. If elections are just formalities that determine which oligarchs get to run the show and are not meant to choose a government of, by, and for the people, and so it doesn’t really matter how they are conducted, or who participates, then let’s at least be honest and say so.

How about we scrap ALL of the US voter rolls and reregister everyone before the 2010 congressional elections?

In order to register, you must provide proof of citizenship and a finger print. (Amputees will be excused from the finger print requirement but a notation made on their registration card.)

We need to radically restrict early and absentee voting.

Voter registration cards in Mexico have a photo and a thumbprint. I wished we emulated them more.

Thanks to ACORN the Democrat roles are bourgeoning with illegals. Thanks to the Democrats, many places are not allowed to use available tools to remedy that.

While true that McCain favors amnesty, the issue at hand in this story are those that haven’t been granted amnesty are voting. Will Obama, Bob Barr, Ron Paul, ect do better? Who are these criminals voting for?
