VOTER FRAUD ARREST TO BE MADE - SD

Mobridge SD Tribune ^ | 11/12/02 | LANA JOHNSON

Becky Red Earth-Villeda, also known as Maka Duta, the Flandreau woman hired by the South Dakota Democratic Party to recruit voters, will be arrested for alleged forgery of absentee ballot applications.

According to Attorney General Mark Barnett, Red Earth-Villeda is suspected of forging the signatures on 500 to 1,000 absentee ballot applications in 25 counties statewide, including Dewey County. She will face the multiple charges in Minnehaha County.

"Maka Duta will be arrested in the ordinary course of events," said Barnett. "No evidence has been obtained that shows she has cast or made an attempt to cast actual ballots."

Red Earth-Villeda was interviewed by investigators extensively on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

Hired as an independent contractor, Red Earth-Villeda was fired by the Democratic Party after it was discovered in early October that two of the people she "registered" were invalid. One such "registration" was discovered by Ziebach County Auditor Cindy Longbrake.

Longbrake received a ballot application for Denise Red Horse. The main problem with the application is that it was dated Sept. 21, 18 days after Red Horse had died in an automobile accident. An application for Red Horse was also received in Dewey County.

Dewey County Auditor Adelle Enright said another application for a deceased woman, Marjorie Clown, was also received by her office.

Currently, there are 30 South Dakota Department of Criminal Investigation agents working on the case.

I don't buy for a minute the comment "no actual ballots cast" - why did she go to all that trouble if no ballots were cast??? WHERE IS THE RNC IN SUPPORT OF A RECOUNT FOR THUNE??

[xm177e2]

But did those 500-1000 "people" vote? If they did, that would make up the difference Thune needs.

[Green Knight]

Amazing. If "they" did vote, then this woman all by herself gave Johnson the election over Thune. Please oh please tell me that they throw out any and all fraudulent votes. We need Thune in the Senate.

*crosses fingers*

[Miss Marple]

I believe that the forged ballot applications were detected before the election, so this bunch of ballots, on which the charges were based, were not cast.

However, 30 investigators looks to be a bit more than is necessary to arrest one woman. My guess is that the DOJ is still investigating.

As far as the RNC, they are keeping a low profile on this until it becomes apparent whether enough there were enough fraudulent votes to tip the election. They do not want Thune to appear Gore-ish, insisting on a recount in the hopes that enough votes can be found. That would give us another Florida, only instead of Jesse Jackson we would have demonstrations by Native Americans, which is NOT to be desired.

Sing along with me, now:

"Indian vote lists five miles long,
All the Duta daaaaaaaay....."

"The main problem with the application is that it was dated Sept. 21, 18 days after Red Horse had died in an automobile accident. An application for Red Horse was also received in Dewey County."

I'm more concerned about the relatives of Red Horse - Red Cloud and Crazy Horse. Did they vote? How many times?

[Credo]

My hope is Thune asks for a recount in a timely fashion if there is suspected vote fraud. The body is still warm. Also, Landrieu's defeat will make the LA issue irrelevant.

Denise Red Horse, who died in a Sept. 3 car crash, somehow managed to apply for an absentee ballot on Sept. 21--in two different counties. Both applications were mailed from Democratic headquarters...

Arrest Expected in Voter Fraud Investigation (South Dakota)
South Dakota Attorney General ^ | 11/01/2002 | Mark Barnett
I just found an article that confirms that the Libertarian candidate DID drop out and DID throw his support to Thune. This minor little item barely made it to local papers, if at all.

So Dak More Registered Voters Than Population??

Did you hear Rush Say that the Senate will come down to the Dems attempts at Voter Fraud?

Don't think this isn't being reported. There are stories all over the country about it.

According to the state of South Dakota, 100% of registered Native Americans voted. ...maybe more

I believe that voter fraud in an election that results in a Federal seat should result in a genuine zero-tolerance Federal penalty: the Death Penalty.

There you have it. The RNC is hiding when they should be roaring lions.

[Shenandoah]

Thune ought to request a recount simply because he is justified within the political process to do so. He doesn't have to make a big deal of it, screaming Gorisms ("every vote counts," etc.). Because of the tight margin of the voting results, he is perfectly well within the bounds of practicality and election procedures to do so. And then he ought to sit quietly and await the results and, if it turns out negatively, graciously accept the results. I don't see where this will, in any way, effect his political viability or mark him as a poor loser.

And if a recount occurs, it is my hope that massive election fraud perpetrated by the dems is uncovered.

[RushLake]

Hold it, this is just more white man oppressing the nativehyphenamerican. She was living as one with the birds of the sky and the creatures of the earth when she was recruited to buy...er, uh, cast... um, do something with the ballots. She was exemplifying diversity within the demoncrap party as one of the first nativehyphenamericans to help implement the fraudulent demoncrap agenda. That's all, no need to be concerned, its only fairness.

[livius]

She was living as one with the birds of the sky and the creatures of the earth ...

That's because she was actually in the Great Beyond at the time she voted. Well, all right, maybe it was her spirit that voted.

[Reb Raider]

I think that they needed to have alot of illegal voting, the problem was in order to get enough in to tip the election, they had to show a huge number of indian voters registered between the primary and election day. If they had not, they would look suspect that 80 or 100percent of registered voters turned out for the election. Those numbers won't jive with past percentages or other counties around the state.

If they had not gotten over 10,000 new voters registered, they would only be able to add as many votes as there were current registered voters. They ran into a problem at the end because Thune did so well. In some of the polling places around reservations they are showing almost all registered voters voted--remember they added thousands--and it looks like in one precinct more voters voted than there are eligible voters in the county. Fraud is glaring and I am hoping we hear news in next two weeks of what happens next.

With the Republicans in control of Congress now is the time for real election reform. The Democrats have been stealing elections for years and have been in control of 80% or more of all elections in this country that long.
We need real reform. Truth be known we have a lot of offices in this country elected by illegals and those voting more than once and dead people. Lets clean it up while we have the chance.
