Here Comes the 2014 Voter Fraud
Wall Street Journal Online ^ | October 27, 2014 | Hans von Spakovsky

Posted on 10/28/2014 4:32:32 AM PDT by Seattle Conservative

Subtitle: Progressives and the Justice Department are doing all they can to stop improvements in election integrity.

In the past few months, a former police chief in Pennsylvania pleaded guilty to voter fraud in a town-council election. That fraud had flipped the outcome of a primary election. Former Connecticut legislator Christina Ayala has been indicted on 19 charges of voter fraud, including voting in districts where she didn’t reside. (She hasn’t entered a plea.) A Mississippi grand jury indicted seven individuals for voter fraud in the 2013 Hattiesburg mayoral contest, which featured voting by ineligible felons and impersonation fraud. A woman in Polk County, Tenn., was indicted on a charge of vote-buying—a practice that the local district attorney said had too long “been accepted as part of life” there.

"Now come the midterm elections on Nov. 4. What is the likelihood that your vote won’t count? That your vote will, in effect, be canceled or stolen as a consequence of mistakes by election officials or fraudulent votes cast by campaign workers or ineligible voters like felons and noncitizens?"

"Unfortunately, we can’t know. But one thing is almost certain: Voter fraud will occur. Many states run a rickety election process, lacking rules to deter people who are looking to take advantage of the system’s porous security. And too many groups and individuals—including the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties Union and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder —are doing everything they can to prevent states from improving the integrity of the election process."

last paragraph of article: "For too long, America has basically used the honor system in the voter-registration and election process. That approach is increasingly being revealed as indefensible in a vibrant democracy, where we should make it easy to vote and hard to cheat."

So why isn’t the party affiliation of the people committing voter fraud mentioned?

(At work-can’t read the entire article)

(1) Every absentee ballot, and (2) every sample ballot mailed to voters before the election should have a bold addendum:

"Voting illegally is a felony punishable by jailtime---and that signing voting books at the polls using some one else's name is a felony compounded by forgery."

This is what Boobamba meant when he uttered the chilling words" "I dont think the Democrats will lose the Senate." The scumbag is aiding and abetting voter fraud like this allover the nation.

<><> Colorado Republican State Sen Ted Harvey: "they’re getting seven absentees to a household. Children who registered at 18, now 30 years old and living elsewhere, have active voting status; election clerk and recorders are required to send them ballots.....If Mommy and Daddy want to commit felonies and forgeries, they could fill in the kids' absentee.”

<><>Another potential nightmare: "Democrat armies engaged in ‘ballot harvesting’---ranges from perfectly legal campaigning, to pressure tactics, to undue influence, to intimidation, to forgery of ballots..... and everything in between.

<><>James O’Keefe of Project Veritas videoed the racist Greenpeace explaining where to glean discarded absentees....“lower class ghettos... North Aurora is a lot of people who don’t care.”

<><> A "Work for Progress" operative, a nonprofit touting Udall, tells O’Keefe to harness the discarded absentees. “That’s not even, like, lying and stealing,” she casually says. “If someone throws out a ballot, like, if you want to fill it out, you should do it.”..... failing to add this would be a felony compounded by forgery

Haters of democracy, Cloward and Piven, considered
"Motor Voter" to be their crowning, lifetime achievement.

The picture from White House archives, shows Cloward (light gray suit) and
Piven (green coat and navy dress) standing directly behind then Pres Clinton
at the "Motor Voter" signing ceremony.

I agree! And, it should be in Spanish, too. After reading various articles on illegals voting (NC research comes to mind), I don’t understand why an org that promotes fair voting (True the Vote is the only one I can think of right now, but I know there are others), doesn’t run TV and/or radio ads on various applicable (especially foreign language) stations letting people know what you’ve indicated as well as non US citizens, including those here under DACA, cannot vote and it’s punishable by jail time, fines and/or deportation.

When he told Mr. Putin that he would be more flexible after the election, the words “fix is in” immediately popped into mind.

IMHO

It only takes one fraudulent vote to disenfranchise you.

That’s a great question and it should be included. I guess we’re supposed to infer they are all Dims, given the article mentions progressives, Holder, NAACP, ACLU, etc. “are doing everything they can to prevent states from improving the integrity of the election process”. But, I think only those of us that are informed conservatives and read FR, etc. would easily know the author is referring primarily to Dims. He should have included the party affiliation.

The Republicans had the opportunity from 2001 through 2006 to eliminate voter fraud, when the had the White House, Senate and House. Why didn't they do it?

Answer that question and you uncover what is wrong with the GOP.

My answer with what is wrong with the GOP is that it is not a political party, it is a club. It is run for the benefit of the club members. And being elected does not make you a member of the club. Ronald Reagan was never a member of the club and he gave the GOP its greatest successes since 1932 and set the GOP on the path to success. Was Reagan thanked? Heck no. They hated him, because for awhile, he took control of the club.

Thank you for posting that link! Even though I remembered reading about that a few years ago, I had totally forgotten about it.

Absolutely! But, we never hear about conservatives (or the military who try to cast absentee ballots for that matter) being “disenfranchised”.

I think there are a few today that aren’t a member of the club: Cruz, Lee, Jeff Sessions, Gohmert come immediately to mind.

See also the article from the link in post #2 above.

Right-Isn’t good journalism about expressing ‘who’,
‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘when’?

That is basic and I don't know why ‘journalists’ can't seem to accomplish even the most rudimentary goal of reporting.

Can’t stand the sight of them anymore, yet, they’re just a reflection of the electorate.

(A couple of brilliant, intellectual geniuses in my neighborhood proudly displayed Obama/Biden signs on their lawns in 2008. In 2012 the signs didn’t appear again;
they probably didn’t want their brilliant-intellectual- Democrat-genius pretentions questioned and quietly voted far-left without fanfare.)

IMHO

Question: How can so many scu&bags fit into such a small space without poisoning the atmosphere beyond repair?

Just asking.

We see that pop up now and then (the story) and its truly worrisome of true.

My trouble with the story is that its #1 from World Nut Daily and #2 in 11/2012 it was supposedly headed to the SCOTUS and nothing ever came out of the SCOTUS about it in TWO YEARS. Don’t think the Supreme Court drags any case out over multiple sessions, then again they too could be in on the conspiracy.
