This is kind of a local thing, but if is happening here (if you believe the column) in Iowa it is probably happening elsewhere.

Better start checkin' those ballots carefully: Minnesota, South Dakota and Florida are rampant with 'rat voter fraud.

Interesting, down here the absentee balloting generally favors the GOP.

Instead of getting party faithful to vote absentee, these workers are going after registered Democratic and Democratic-leaning independents who only vote in presidential election years. (Just voting the party faithful by absentee doesn't net a party much. Those folks would have voted anyway.) Bringing in marginal voters who ordinarily don't show up for a non-presidential election like this one will add numbers to the Democrats' total on Nov. 5. How are they getting people to vote absentee? Are they going to their house and asking if they mailed in their ballot? The article doesn't give a clue on this.

When was the last time someone got sent to prison for voter fraud? We need more laws so as to obscure existing laws which are laughed at anyway. That is unless you are not wearing your seatbelt or smoking a joint. Then we call out the SWAT team.
Thanks to our rat friends, we should hold elections on April 15th, and only announce the winners in November after every single name is checked and cross referenced with every other state in both normal votes and absentee votes. Polls should be video taped. Any person who fraudulently votes gets ten to twenty. One more thing.....Isn't voter fraud by absentee ballot the same as mail fraud? Each count is five years. That would be at least a few million years per state.

Some top Iowa Republicans are privately panicking over the Democratic ... Ah, the distinguishing characteristic of Top Republicans everywhere.

Ah, the distinguishing characteristic of Top Republicans everywhere. Yes, I'm guessing they are the same Einsteins who believe that the party's stand against abortion has scared all the good workers away, so they are at a loss at what to do next.

Illinois anti-military absentee ballott: The rules are a little stricter in Illinois than other states. The application lists eleven boxes to be checked. You MUST check one of the eleven to qualify.
The reasons include health reasons, reigious holiday, collge student away from home, and even incarceration awaiting trial. There is no box for military service. Sick.

Be an Iowa poll watcher and you will see some of the poor folks who get carted in to pull the 'rat lever and get shuffled back to the van for the return trip to the care facility. They may not be able to tell you what year it is or who is who, but they can all vote Democrat (because so many nice people care about them). I suspect that many absentee ballots may be from people who aren't even up to that level. Think that Chet Culver and Tobacco Tom Miller will investigate any vote fraud? Sure... just like the Polk Co. attorney went after Trotsky Tom Harkin's plumbers.
There is no difference between a 'rat and a communist, except for the haircut. Democrats suck.

You don't need a good reason here in Iowa, except "I'm going to be gone that day". Our Rat Sec. of State and Gov. made sure of that. Who knows who's really filling out the ballots fron that nursing home? Well, I have my suspicions.

If you think the 2000 Prez election was nerve wrecking, you haven't seen NOTHING YET!! Pray! Pray like you never have, pray God will have his eye and hand on the elections. That God will confuse those who want to bring discourse and dishonesty to these races! And that God's hand be on the republicans! ON TO VICTORY!!
To: Iowegian
Check the workers' comp list for people taking a few days off over the next couple of weeks.
Someone's going to have writers' cramp from filling out all those absentee ballots.

Sounds like this covers the Military....:
- Registered or non-registered members of the United States Armed Forces while on active duty, and members of the Merchant Marines, as well as their spouses and dependents who expect to be absent from their county of residence on election day;

Now that the Democrats are organizing the absentee vote, it will no longer favor the Republicans. Absentee balloting did favor Republicans when each individual was required to take the intiative to cast an absentee vote. Now though the Democrat party is doing all the work for its "sheeple." Believe me, when a Democrat says he is mobilizing turnout, he must be taken seriously.
