If there is one thing I learned in the 2012 election cycle, it was about voter fraud. My conservative warrior associate, Katherine Engelbrecht, and her organization, True the Vote, took up the mantle against the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, who admitted to sending “questionable” results to the Florida Secretary of State. It was somewhat disheartening that the Florida Secretary of State and Attorney General sat back, watched the news reports, and did nothing.
With that background, I’d like to share a story written by Gregg Prentice: “Voter Fraud? If they’re not catching the easy stuff, what else are they missing?”
Prentice asks, are some of Florida’s Supervisors of Elections skirting the law? Supervisors are tasked with maintaining an accurate voter roll. One of the requirements of the Supervisors is to ensure voters provide a legal residence address. Yet a December 2013 analysis shows more than 3,000 voter registrations statewide listing their residence address at a UPS store, potentially illegally.
Florida Law is clear and, with minor exception, requires that voter registrations listing other than an address of legal residence should not be accepted, because they are “ineligible” (F.S. 98.045 (1)(h)). In fact, it’s actually a felony to willfully submit any false voter registration information (F.S.104.011(2)). Accordingly, if these “ineligible” registrations are found to exist, Florida statutes also provide for their prompt correction or removal (F.S. 98.075(6) & (7)).
So there you go. It’s a felony for this to have happened, but how can it be that a citizen watchdog had to uncover this Florida voter fraud while the people paid with our taxpayer dollars have not a clue? Is it not a mandated responsibility of the Florida State Supervisors of Elections to maintain these voter address rolls? I’d say so.
A review of the state-mandated voter registration list reveals that of the 3,000 UPS store registrations:
- 1,200 match addresses already known as commercial that were ignored - 500 match addresses erroneously marked as residential - 1,100 have no match at all.
The question is, when stories like this surface, how can the voting electorate believe there is integrity in their electoral process? We’ve reported here on the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Ohio poll worker, Melowese Richardson, who voted nearly seven times. She was supposed to have a five-year sentence but thanks to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, she served just about 18 months.
Oh and by the way, she wasn’t charged by the federal government with any type of voter fraud allegations — so much for Eric Holder’s concern about voter suppression.
You see, the real voter suppression comes when fraud exists, as it negates an individual’s lawful and proper vote. The fraudulent shenanigans in the 2012 Congressional District 18 election in St. Lucie County — and to some extent Palm Beach County — amounted to voter suppression. But as we reported previously, it’s not voter suppression Democrats are worried about, it’s fraud suppression.
In the case of the UPS store registrations, it’s not a recent phenomenon. More than 2,300 of the more than 3,000 recently discovered UPS store registrations had the exact same UPS store listed as their residence at least 15 months prior. Approximately 800 of those 2,300 likely “ineligible” registrations voted in Florida’s during the 2012 General Election.
Worse however, since Federal Elections occur in even years, the Supervisors are required by law to perform their primary “list maintenance” during the odd years. Yet these 3,000 UPS store registrations were identified in December of 2013 as the Supervisors’ odd year voter roll efforts came to a close.
So it’s pretty clear too many of our Supervisors aren’t nearly as effective in their jobs as one might hope – and they’re not complying with Florida statute.
So in which counties did this occur?
According to the report, of the 67 counties in Florida, 38 were clean. The majority of the “unclean” counties have said they’re working on it. But three counties have not responded at all or weakly: Broward, Orange and Hillsborough. Prentice says Broward county receives the “here’s your sign” award with fully 40 percent of the 3,000 potentially ineligible records, and simply responding “they’re in process.”
Note: Broward represents only about 10 percent of the total state population.
Hat tip to Gregg Prentice for doing this research. He truly deserves recognition as a “Guardian of the Republic.” And in order to preserve this Republic, we will need many more Guardians. I challenge others to do the same in their state as Gregg has done here for us in Florida. “In a universe of deceit, truth becomes a revolutionary act” — and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
It just shows that the Dhimmicrap machine delivers.
I absolutely love True The Vote. I encourage all to contribute and/or volunteer to help them out.
Glad they are finding these. Now what is going to happen to the fraudsters?
good question what happens to the fraudulent address voters.
The UPS stores generally have mail boxes for rent, which these people are using as a mailing address. Of course it’s not the address they live at. But it is a street address where they receive mail.
Whether they are compelled to register at the address they actually reside at is a good question.
I have “progressive “ friends from my 1960s college days, who are snow birds from NY to Fla. I am positive that they ‘double dip’ the vote.
Perhaps Romney did win Fl and OH...
But it could also be the motor home crowd. You use a service that will forward your mail, and use the address for residency. (Your mail and SS checks go there.)
Well, I see there are many businesses, etc., that will not accept/deliver to P.O. boxes as they require residential addresses. Why do we not do the same for absentee ballots? This, after all is a lot more serious subject. Ah, well.
Voter Photo ID.
Problem being the GOP’s resolve to expose it. Cowards most.
Florida has a lot of part time residents and people living in RV’s. Many seniors do this. Register in Florida as a resident and get a drop box that uses a physical address rather than PO box.
I should get one, I’m tired of fighting with Walgreen’s over my PO box when they demand physical address. They can’t even answer the question: IS it a law or is it just Walgreen’s policy?
As for voter registration, States themselves are sometimes the problem. I haven’t lived in NJ for 30 years yet they still have me listed on the voter sign-off sheet ... Despite the fact that I have registered and voted in San Diego for 30 years.
My last name is unique. My grand father and his brother Anglicised their surname when they immigrated from Ireland. So my brother keeps telling me I’m listed on the NJ roll still.
They don’t want to catch it because it benefits them. District attorneys in areas where fraud is rampant tend to be libs. Even if you set it in their laps, with a pretty bow around it they will ignore it. Their motto is, by any means necessary.
I agree but I used to live in a rural area that did not have house numbering systems on the county roads. Would Rural Route 2 Box 181 be much different than a PO Box number as a means to creating frauddulent votes?
Democrats are very good at two things. Going after our wallets and stealing elections.
“I have “progressive “ friends from my 1960s college days, who are snow birds from NY to Fla. I am positive that they ‘double dip’ the vote.”
I don’t like saying this but your friends should be in jail if they vote places.
You need new friends.
450 folks listed the voter registrar’s office in Seattle, WA as their home address.
WA now votes by mail so picture ID is optional when you cast your ballot.
s/is running amok.
