Without voter ID, your ballot might not count or Meet the State Chairman who paved the way for Obama
The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, Pennsylvania ^ | 29 July 2012 | Robert A. Gleason, Jr.

— Political ads, mailers, volunteers knocking on every door and daily news coverage. If you couldn’t tell, the presidential election is only a few months away and every candidate is jockeying for your vote.

But, how would you feel if your vote didn’t even count?

Philadelphia officials have released a report detailing that somewhere between 200 and 1,000 voting irregularities were uncovered in fewer than 1 percent of Philadelphia’s voting precincts during the 2012 primary.

These voting “irregularities” included noncitizens voting, nonregistered citizens voting, machines registering more votes for a candidate than registered voters at that polling place, and even a case of someone voting multiple times in multiple locations.

This is a nice editorial by Pennsylvania's GOP Chairman Robert A. Gleason, Jr. patting himself on the back for his role in pushing through the Pennsylvania voter ID law which was suspended just in time for this election by one single fudgepacker judge.

What Gleason fails to mention is this law was a booby prize to disgusted conservatives for his role in seeing that a bill introduced by our State Senate Majority Leader never made it out of committee last fall.

That bill would have allocated Pennsylvania's electoral votes on the same basis as is done in Maine and Nebraska: 2 to the statewide winner, 1 to the winner of each congressional district.

Gleason's stated reasons for opposing the measure was two-fold:

  1. It would diminish Pennsylvania's role in the presidential election.
  2. It could diminish our (meaning his) role in the national party.

    Had the law been in place this election, Pennsylvania would have delivered 13 electoral votes to the Romney/Ryan ticket.

    As a result of its rejection, both candidates failed to work here until the closing days of the campaign. Pennsylvania got less, not more, attention.

    More importantly, by taking Pennsylvania for granted, Democrats were able to put more in swing states like Ohio, Virginia and Florida. A shift of less than one quarter of one percent of the national popular vote properly applied to these three states plus the 13 won from Pennsylvania would have turned a narrow Obama re-election into a narrow Romney-Ryan win.

    Robert Gleason, Jr., more than any other single person in America, is most responsible for ensuring that this did not happen. Pennsylvania Freepers need to get involved with their local GOP organizations to be sure that Gleason is held accountable for what was, at best, a gross strategic blunder and, at worst, intentional sabatoge.

I am confused. Did the law that passed include the allocation method or was it still winner take all?

Is this the law that the judge said should be delayed until the next election?

Don’t allow Obama to take office until his fraud is brought out.

Massive voter fraud throughout the US. My wife’s sister voting in TX on one of those machines, noted that her vote changed from MR to Obama. she caught it and called poll person. Her Hubby didn’t check so who knows. I heard of many others.

“Massive voter fraud throughout the US. My wife’s sister voting in TX on one of those machines, noted that her vote changed from MR to Obama. she caught it and called poll person. Her Hubby didn’t check so who knows. I heard of many others.”

I believe obama won by one reason only, massive voter fraud. The shennigans in Philadelphia, the military absentee ballot plane crashing, and the early voting all was part of the strategy. Reports everywhere, said that the lines were the longest ever, even on election day, despite having all the early voting in many states. What gives? Add that to the fact that voter turnout was lower than 2008, it just doesn’t make any sense. I am sure some of it can be made sense of, but to many dirty tricks were caught, and unpunished. How many more were not caught?

Levine said on his show a couple months ago that our country is in the early stages of a “non-shooting” civil war. Obviously 99% of the country would think that is crazy. We are in deep crap. These people are playing for keeps, and will do anything to do it. They have the “drone” support, and now another 4 years to move their agenda. To those people who say, “Now that the election is over, lets unite again as a nation.” F- off!!! I would love to unite as a nation, but not a socialist one led by the marxist usurper.

A rogue Judges name has got to be mentioned every time his activism goes against the will of the people and the law.

Judge Robert Simpson granted an injunction “in part.”

“I question whether sufficient time exists for liberal access” to ID despite improved efforts by state officials, Simpson wrote. “I am still not convinced ... that there will never be voter disenfranchisement.”

He also blocked language that would have discounted provisional ballots for voters without ID who could not verify their identity within six days. The law required voters to show a driver’s license or non-driver’s card from PennDOT, or a passport, military, university or local government or nursing home ID. It required PennDOT to issue free non-driver IDs to people without driver’s licenses.

“For this election, you don’t have to prove you are who you say you are. As someone who believed in the purpose of the law, I think it’s a disappointing decision,” said Katie Goldman, chairwoman of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

Thanks, I originally expected my Scribd account would be my own Cloud, but now that I have hit a number of readers, maybe I’ll keep it up.

Pennsylvania is still winner-take-all because the district allocation bill never made it out of committee thanks to Gleason. The voter ID bill was a booby prize to placate those of us who still believe in honest elections.

In abusive relationships one person hits the other one around and then the abuser wants to pretend it didn’t happen and just get along.

“In abusive relationships one person hits the other one around and then the abuser wants to pretend it didn’t happen and just get along.”

That is a great comparison. We are at war. Not combative war, at least not yet (although, I think we experienced a coup on Tuesday). It is cultural war. It cannot be won by pretending that everything is okay.

obama’s first 4 years were terrible. I have full confidence his next 4 will be worse. That is a hard notion to “come together as a nation” under. I hope they aren’t worse. However, I see the Constitution under direct attack.

Excellent posts guys.

Has anyone looked at what the election results would be if we had 1 electoral college vote for each Congressional district? Would that be enough to outweigh the cesspool of voter fraud?

BTW .... “voter fraud” makes it sound too individual, like “shoplifting” This is nationwide, highly organized, well-financed “election stealing.” affecting the whole world.

The “Brass Ring” is control of the world’s most powerful military and trillions of dollars.

"To those people who say, “Now that the election is over, lets unite again as a nation.” F- off!!! I would love to unite as a nation, but not a socialist one led by the marxist usurper."

I feel the same way. I've heard people say it and I've seen it many times on social media. Another favorite is "The system is broken. We have to work together"

But what they're really saying, even for the ultra idiots who don't even have a clue what they're really saying, is that you want us to agree to destroy our country faster! Not gonna happen cupcake...you can take you're touchy-feely crap somewhere else....
