If there is one thing I learned in the 2012 election cycle, it was about voter fraud. My conservative warrior associate, Katherine Engelbrecht, and her organization, True the Vote, took up the mantle against the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, who admitted to sending “questionable” results to the Florida Secretary of State. It was somewhat disheartening that the Florida Secretary of State and Attorney General sat back, watched the news reports, and did nothing.
With that background, I’d like to share a story written by Gregg Prentice: “Voter Fraud? If they’re not catching the easy stuff, what else are they missing?”
Prentice asks, are some of Florida’s Supervisors of Elections skirting the law? Supervisors are tasked with maintaining an accurate voter roll. One of the requirements of the Supervisors is to ensure voters provide a legal residence address. Yet a December 2013 analysis shows more than 3,000 voter registrations statewide listing their residence address at a UPS store, potentially illegally.
Florida Law is clear and, with minor exception, requires that voter registrations listing other than an address of legal residence should not be accepted, because they are “ineligible” (F.S. 98.045 (1)(h)). In fact, it’s actually a felony to willfully submit any false voter registration information (F.S.104.011(2)). Accordingly, if these “ineligible” registrations are found to exist, Florida statutes also provide for their prompt correction or removal (F.S. 98.075(6) & (7)).
So there you go. It’s a felony for this to have happened, but how can it be that a citizen watchdog had to uncover this Florida voter fraud while the people paid with our taxpayer dollars have not a clue? Is it not a mandated responsibility of the Florida State Supervisors of Elections to maintain these voter address rolls? I’d say so.
A review of the state-mandated voter registration list reveals that of the 3,000 UPS store registrations:
– 1,200 match addresses already known as commercial that were ignored – 500 match addresses erroneously marked as residential – 1,100 have no match at all.
The question is, when stories like this surface, how can the voting electorate believe there is integrity in their electoral process? We’ve reported here on the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Ohio poll worker, Melowese Richardson, who voted nearly seven times. She was supposed to have a five-year sentence but thanks to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, she served just about 18 months.
Oh and by the way, she wasn’t charged by the federal government with any type of voter fraud allegations — so much for Eric Holder’s concern about voter suppression.
You see, the real voter suppression comes when fraud exists, as it negates an individual’s lawful and proper vote. The fraudulent shenanigans in the 2012 Congressional District 18 election in St. Lucie County — and to some extent Palm Beach County — amounted to voter suppression. But as we reported previously, it’s not voter suppression Democrats are worried about, it’s fraud suppression.
In the case of the UPS store registrations, it’s not a recent phenomenon. More than 2,300 of the more than 3,000 recently discovered UPS store registrations had the exact same UPS store listed as their residence at least 15 months prior. Approximately 800 of those 2,300 likely “ineligible” registrations voted in Florida’s during the 2012 General Election.
Worse however, since Federal Elections occur in even years, the Supervisors are required by law to perform their primary “list maintenance” during the odd years. Yet these 3,000 UPS store registrations were identified in December of 2013 as the Supervisors’ odd year voter roll efforts came to a close.
I live in the burbs and can’t say I have ever had a problem with stuff being stolen. Lost a few times certainly but only a few.
Small packages have been on the front porch for days since that door isn’t used and it’s on a downward grade.
Mainly I don’t like stuff being left out in the open.
The UPS Store is about 5 minutes away in a nice shopping center.
We really need Governor Scott to demand ballots in these counties be paper only and hand counted. He also need to demand that multiple absentee ballots from the same address be confirmed as actual resident of the address shared. If not these absentee ballots need to be held as proof of voter fraud.
I don’t trust the Dem Supervisors of Elections in these counties nor Palm Beach County.
I am certainly calling in the morning, then the wife is, then I will get neighbors too.
Enough is enough with this fraud .
Agreed.
Paper ballots, hand counted , with a republican observer in attendance.
I too do nto trust at all these counties. No more finding bags of votes in the corner of the room, and have you ever noticed how the south east of the state , ref those 3 counties always wait till most of the state has reported, thus knowing how many votes they need.?
As some one who used to deal in creating /designing / relational databases (after receiving from the local county,) for signature gathers (i.e. petitions) to make it easy to; if you will, go up & down the different street(s) and not miss any legal voters. Via the different voting precincts.
What I came across, is the double listed voters in the same precincts, but of course I was a piss-ant, and nobody listen.
Every town / city / urban area, etc., has what I'll call the street with 2 (two) names, and people receive and send U.S. Mail, using the different names!
Example: "Main Street" might also be known as say 1st (First avenue.) or just like in this example: 1st Avenue vs First Avenue.
So what you may say, well you better take a CLOSER LOOK, because I saw a lot of names that got ballots for what I'll call street(s) with 2 (two) names. And just sometimes you might be able to say: well the names just happen to be the same. But depending on where you live, every town / city / urban area, etc., may have the street(s) with 2 (two) names, but that ADDRESS, YES you know what I mean, that ADDRESS, is just 1 (one) of a kind, with both street name(s.)
I have a friend who spends two to three months overseas serving missionaries. While there she has her bills sent to my address. Twice the Supervisor of Elections has questioned her residency for voting. New precinct for voting in local elections.
Our Supervisor in North Florida has been very diligent in cleaning up voter rolls. I don’t trust the supervisors in South Florida, especially after the Alan West fiasco.
Yes. Wasn’t this also the area where they discovered a man with a voting machine in his car, back during the hanging chad fiasco?
Next time you're there....keep an eye out for all those election thieves.
If memory serves me correct I think it was, it was also the area where they find bags of votes in the corner of a room, and in a car..
Also the usual place of wanting more time to stay open after they were supposed to be closing.
That part of our state is an embarrassment.
We had a congressman use his parents address in Florida to get elected, he did not live in Florida. When discovered they asked him to rent a small apartment, to fix it. These rules are just for the mokes.
LOL! A UPS store?
Yes, more than one election worker took a machine home, hanging out the back of the trunk, no less.
+ Several unopened drawers of ballots from predominantly R districts were found unopened in trays several weeks after the election (2004?)
If you’re having a heart attack and your wife is calling 911 you don’t want the EMTs going to UPS, you want them going to where you actually reside and are hurting. Census data that is used to group voters into precincts, etc. should be based on ones physical residence as well. That should be the address listed on your voter registration. If it makes sense to have a PO box or some other mailing address of convenience then the registration form should be designed to allow both a physical and a mailing address for ease of communication. If it doesn’t then our overpaid public ‘servants’ should redesign them accordingly. For eligible voters presently out of the state, like active duty military, merchant marine, etc. the form should allow some way to indicate their status and how they are eligible to vote in spite of their current absence.
The PO has databases which should show these address variations. My local PO is always open, only 2 blocks away and has an automated kiosk that will take my $ and generate addressed mailing labels at all hours of the night. Last time I mailed my sister a package it asked for 5 digit zip code, the house number and just the first number of her street and promptly popped up a list of the only two addresses with those values. One click and I had a mailable label. A database that can do that should be able to ID most of the duplicates. Granted, the government databases will have some errors so a user friendly error correction system providing some benefit of the doubt must be included so honest voters can at worst get and eventually validate a provisional ballot.
I am definitely going to call that number today...thanks.
