First person charged with voter fraud [in South Dakota]

A KOTA Territory man is the first person to be charged with voter fraud this election.

Police say Lyle Nichols is charged with five counts of forgery of voter registration cards. Nichols is one of two brothers hired by the Native American Voter Registration Project.

They collected and submitted 226 registration cards. The Pennington County Auditor's office found that two of those newly registered voters were dead.

If convicted, Nichols could be sentenced to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for each of the five felony counts.

Last week, accusations of voter registration fraud began to surface in several counties. Dead people had been registered, people were registered in counties other than where they live, and names were misspelled, signatures didn’t match.

Throughout the state, there are massive voter registration drives being conducted by both political parties, tribal governments and national organizations. Nichols currently is the only person charged.

There is another voter fraud investigation involving a woman paid by the South Dakota Democratic Party to register people. Becky Red-Earth Villeda says she is innocent, that the accusations against her are an attempt to stop the registration of Native Americans. Red-Earth Villeda was fired after discrepancies were found in two applications she collected.

The Lead Listing is operated by QuanTech, Inc., under a grant from the HUD Office of Lead Hazard Control

The Lead Listing fills a need to provide parents, landlords, and real estate professionals with an effective means of identifying trained lead service providers to help prevent childhood lead poisoning. The Lead Listing was developed to address the time-sensitive need for compliance with the requirements of Section 1018 of Title X (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) on disclosure of lead hazards at the sale or lease of pre-1978 residential property. Renovators trained in lead-safe practices were added to The Lead Listing in the summer of 1999 to help the public locate these professionals in anticipation of increases in demand for lead-trained renovation services resulting from a 1998 federal rule. This rule requires renovators to provide a lead hazard information pamphlet to owners and occupants of target housing prior to commencing renovation on or after June 1,1999 (final rule 40 CFR Part 745, June 1, 1998 under the authority of section 406(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act as amended by Title X, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992).

“Custer died for your sins.”

I love this quote. The Dept. of the Interior should be abolished.

Reservations should be dismantled and all fundings should cease.

Checks on leaking cars on reservation property should be quickly addressed.

Hoka hey! The 7th rides again!

Call me paranoid, but the implication in this portion of the story is that the fruad is being done by both parties.

Yes, careful reading shows only Democrates have been implicated, but could there be "gloss it over for the 'rats" slant in this story?

Right on. Up to this time if a repubie had been caught doing this, it would have been on world wide news, national news, and state news 24/7.

I'm sure that they will pay some Rat several thousand $ to pretend to be a repubie and then get caught doing this.

Why investigate something if you already know about it?
