Their Names Weren’t on Voter Registration Rolls. This City Let Them Cast a Ballot Anyway.

Previously unpublished data from the last big election in Burlington, Vt., reveals a significant number of votes were cast by individuals whose names were not on the statewide checklist.

In the 2012 presidential election, 17,383 votes were cast in Burlington, according to city-published data. According to data not published by the city, but made available to a reporter, 639 of those votes, or 3.7 percent, came from election day walk-in voters whose names were not on the voter rolls and whose registration status was unknown.

As previously reported, votes by individuals whose names don’t appear on the checklist count whether or not the voters can be verified as having registered with the state.

The unpublished data sheds light on elections in Burlington after citizen poll watchers exposed a need for greater scrutiny in the city, and after city officials on Monday halted early voting when Republican candidates for justice of the peace were found missing from the ballot. Reprinted ballots will cost the city $10,000.

Often in Burlington, hundreds of people absent from voter rolls show up to vote. Instead of being turned away or given provisional ballots, the individuals fill out voter affirmation forms, get added to the statewide checklist and vote on the spot. Critics say the process is rife with abuse and amounts to same-day registration.

For a society with hundreds of years of voting heritage, we seem to be experiencing some difficulty mastering the process...

Leave Republican candidates off the ballot.
Allow unregistered yahoos to vote.

Mission accomplished.

[SMARTY]

And just GUESS which way they voted!

In 2012 there was a concerted and organized effort by the dems to bring in "voters", many from different states, into districts to cast votes such as these. That's why some districts registered voter turnouts well over 100%. It gets worse each election, with little, if any repercussions. I fully expect the same in the election next month. Vote fraud gets very little attention, especially in off year elections. I expect the klintonites will use this as a rehearsal and dry run for 2016.

Voter fraud should be a hanging offense, or something pretty close to it.

[George from New England]

The goal should be ...

You Fraudulently vote once, you vote no more, you don’t live no more. Problem solved.

[Genoa]

They still have elections in the people’s republic?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Democrat Country!

Voter fraud should be a hanging offense, or something pretty close to it.

Part of the problem may be that those charged with enforcing voter laws owe their positions, at least in part, to vote fraud.

[I want the USA back]

The election is invalid.

[smoothsailing]

Officials in Burlington and Montpelier said they weren’t worried about fraud since voters face the threat of perjury.

Good grief, they don't know who these "voters" are or where they're from. How in the hell are they going to charge them with perjury?

[Blood of Tyrants]

We have the election system that is the envy of any turd world dictator.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это - кто и как будет считать голоса.

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.

-Josef Stalin, Said in 1923, as quoted in The Memoirs of Stalin's Former Secretary (1992) by Boris Bazhanov

Bananas anyone? Get them while they’re cheap! They are the new symbol of the Republic. Replacing the Eagle

[DoughtyOne]

The Democrats seem to be mastering it just fine.

It’s pretty standard to let almost anyone vote on a provisional ballot, but those aren’t counted unless the identity is later confirmed.

Obama “won” in 2012 almost entirely due to the votes of illegals and fraudsters who voted multiple times, thanks to ACORN.
