The Democrats’ Election Forgery Racket (party fraud has spread from Chicago outward under Obama)
National Review ^ | 04/04/2012 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 04/04/2012 4:35:00 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A few weeks ago, Obama senior adviser and seasoned Chicago operative David Axelrod joked on MSNBC about election corruption. Asked whether “vote early and often” scams had come to an end in his shady hometown, Axelrod snarked: “Well, certainly on the air.” Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Behind the scenes, Democrats have been busy faking petition signatures, forging ballots, and enlisting medical professionals to authorize fraudulent doctors’ notes for liberal teachers’ union operatives protesting Republican opponents. It’s no laughing matter.

This week, four Democratic officials in Indiana were hit with felony charges related to petition fraud in the state’s 2008 primary. The prosecutions are a result of the local South Bend Tribune newspaper’s investigation last fall into “hundreds of county residents’ signatures” forged on petitions used to put Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Democratic primary ballot. At least two whistle-blowing government officials came forward to expose the forgery racket, which court documents say was formulated by Democratic party officials inside local party headquarters.

A veteran county Democratic party chair, Butch Morgan, resigned in October over the scandal; three employees in the St. Joseph County voter-registration office reportedly helped Morgan execute the scheme. Among the hundreds of unsuspecting residents whose names were illegally signed to the petitions: the prosecuting attorney in the case and a former Democratic governor of the state!

That’s the audacity of ACORN-style hoaxes.

Without the phony signatures, there’s a significant chance that Obama would not have qualified for the primary ballot — throwing the validity of the entire election into question.

Dr. Deb Fleming, the county’s Republican chairwoman, told the South Bend Tribune that the Democratic machine has dominated her backyard for decades. “They have ‘a culture of corruption’ here and throughout Indiana. ‘I’m sure there are other things. They’ve just never gotten caught,’ she speculated. ‘Because they’ve been in control of St. Joseph County for so long, they felt they could get away with it.’”

It’s a widespread culture of election corruption that has festered in Obama’s Chicago, crossed into Indiana, and bubbled up across the country.

On Tuesday, a New York judge set new trial dates for Democratic officials and political operatives accused of another ballot-fraud conspiracy. A first round of prosecutions against Democratic elections commissioner Edward McDonough and his co-defendant, former councilman Michael LoPorto, ended in mistrials last month. The two men also face separate voter-fraud charges involving a plot by Democrats to win the radical Working Families Party primary back in 2009. The WFP is a front group for President Obama’s dear old friends at fraud-plagued ACORN.

According to law-enforcement authorities, the ring of Democrats tried to rig the primary election for city council and county legislature by forging absentee ballots and ballot applications to ensure that their candidates also won the Working Families Party primary line.

Fox News Channel investigative reporter Eric Shawn noted that a whistle-blower in the case, WFP employee Sarah Couch, told investigators that her bosses “asked her to issue a Working Families Party press release that would ‘point blame at the Republican Party,’ and she refused to do so.” Another whistleblower, Democratic operative Anthony DeFiglio, told police that “faking absentee ballots was a commonplace and accepted practice in political circles, all intended to swing an election.”

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, the state’s Medical Examining Board decided last month to investigate eleven additional doctors for writing fake sick notes for public union teachers who ditched their classrooms to protest GOP Governor Scott Walker. Nine other medical professionals have already received slaps on the wrist.

Primary petitions. Absentee ballots. Doctors’ orders. Fraudulent signatures are becoming the signature of desperate Democrats who play the electoral game by one set of rules: By Any Means Necessary.

Yet, progressives in the media and White House continue to strike a see-no-election-fraud, hear-no-election-fraud, speak-no-election-fraud pose. And Team Obama’s Axelrod supplies the laugh track. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

The consequences of a government not securing a country’s borders is that a people will lose their country as we are now losing ours to an invasion of illegal immigrants. The consequences of not securing a country’s electoral processes to prevent voter fraud is the country will lose its democracy to a thugocracy just as we have lost ours to a Chicago Mob run Coup d’état.

The DemonRAT party are all Bolsheviks.

They will commandeer the government at every opportunity.

They are *ENEMIES* of the Constitution and the Republic and its people and should be banned as a seditious organization.

Won’t happen except in a just world, which this ain’t.

“Democrats...FORGERY...Obama...Election FRAUD. We have seen the playbook for November 2012. Gird your loins!”

Amen. And this is why EVERY non-BHO voter simply MUST support the candidate who runs against him in November. A second term of B. Hussein will be the death knell of our republic and we will NOT have any kind of free future.

Even a POTUS who isn’t our conservative choice will buy us time to work on him, particularly if we can take back the Senate and have more conservatives in both houses.

But with a totally unrestrained second term of BHO, our time just ran out. Anyone But Obama - and those who don’t recognize the extreme evil and toxic danger he poses to our country and us is making a fatal mistake from which there’s no recovery.

The biggest source of election fraud is from “zombie voters.” Democrat officials maintain lists of the dearly departed and distribute those names to precinct captains on election day. They then bus teams of people around the city with instructions to use those names of the deceased at the sign-in desk to get a ballot. With no ID being required, the election worker asks the zombie voter to simply sign the book by the dead person’s name and another fraudulent vote is cast. This is how both Dem Gov. Dayton and Al Franken got elected in Minnesota.

Vote fraud machines: Pick address that can be easily monitored, Mailboxes etc for example, apartment complexes for another, fill out voter registration cards using names from a cemetery or simply make them up, make a copy so you know what the signature looks like.

Now for either primary or general elections you request an absentee ballot for every one of those fake voters, vote the ballot, make sure the signature looks right, mail it back. No need for an ID with picture, no chance of being caught by a poll worker who knows you are not who you say you are. The end result, a stolen election. the voting public is gullible BUT there are some of us who can see and connect the dots.

Now before the general election ask your county registrar for a list of addresses with five or more voters. Go in a group and get face to face with each listed voter. If there is no voter to get face to face with, file charges with your local sheriff. If the registrar refuses to help you you know they are crooked and can act accordingly.
