The media have been lying about voter fraud for 20 years. The New York Times and The Washington Post will tell you: Let’s get something straight. There are only two cases of voter fraud in history and they were both Republicans.
NEVER? No voter fraud ever?
Nope!
That’s your first clue they’re lying. Liberals don’t try to say partial-birth abortion never happens. They don’t say black men killing cops never happens. They don’t say immigrants ripping off government programs never happens. Only voter fraud NEVER HAPPENS.
I bet you couldn’t find EVEN ONE!
How about these?
— JOHN ASHCROFT, 2000
John Ashcroft absolutely had a Senate seat stolen from him in 2000 when a state judge ordered polls in heavily Democratic St. Louis to remain open for an extra three hours. Republicans didn’t even hear about it for another hour. Despite an appellate court striking down the ridiculously lawless order, St. Louis was given an extra 3 1/2 hours to kick out tens of thousands of additional votes. Ashcroft lost the election by 49,000 votes.
Twitter: This claim about election fraud is disputed.
— WASHINGTON STATE, 2004
A week after the 2004 Washington state gubernatorial election, Republican Dino Rossi was up by 3,492 votes against Democrat Christine Gregoire. Then Democratic King county began finding “misplaced” ballots, eventually producing more than 10,000 of them.
Hey, guys! I found another box of ballots under the sink!
So that’s another 800 votes for Gregoire.
Oh wait — you’re not going to believe this …
You found more votes?
Bingo! 600 votes for Gregoire.
An examination of the records later showed that about 1,800 more ballots had been cast than there were voters who had requested them.
Notwithstanding the miraculously appearing ballots, Rossi won the recount a few weeks later, but his lead was cut to 42 votes — easily within stealing distance. Democrat Christine Gregoire demanded a hand recount, and that put her ahead by 129 votes, whereupon she was promptly declared the winner.
Washington voters overwhelmingly believed the election had been stolen and wanted a revote. Democrats didn’t care. Nothing was ever done about the flagrant vote fraud. Washington now has 100 percent mail-in-ballots and no Republican has ever again won the governorship.

— AL FRANKEN, 2008
In 2008, Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota won his 2008 reelection bid against challenger Al Franken by 725 votes. But for weeks after the election, Democratic precincts kept “discovering” new votes for Franken.
Day after day, votes were added to Franken’s column, while votes were taken away from Coleman. Random error would not continually benefit only one side.
On account of Franken’s charisma shield, Barack Obama, who was running for president that year, won hundreds of thousands more votes than Franken in the same election, on the same ticket, in the same state that year. But during the “corrections,” Franken was winning three times as many votes as Obama .
So the Democrats weren’t worried about believability.
Eventually, all these late-discovered ballots put Franken ahead by 312 votes, whereupon he was immediately certified the winner by the George Soros-backed Minnesota secretary of state.
A few years later, we found out that more than 1,000 felons, ineligible to vote, had cast votes in the 2008 Minnesota election. (To state the obvious, felons support Democrats by about 10-1.) There were 113 separate convictions for voter fraud in that election. That’s not easy: In Minnesota, a conviction for voter fraud requires proof that you broke the law knowingly.
More than 100 convictions for something that never happens, way, way back in the prehistoric days of 2008 — who could remember that?
Twitter: This claim about election fraud is disputed.
Facebook: Final results may be different from the initial vote counts, as ballot counting will continue for days or weeks after polls close.
The Washington Post: There’s no evidence of even modest voter fraud.
The New York Times: The Times Called Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud.
The Newspaper of (Broken) Record is also pushing the claim that that the real reason Republicans are questioning the vote in Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia is … RACISM! So you know they have a good argument.
“All three … have large African-American populations. And in their respective states, they have long been targets of racialized charges of corruption.” — “The Cities Central to Fraud Conspiracy Theories Didn’t Cost Trump the Election,” The New York Times, Nov. 16, 2020
“As they try to somehow reverse Joe Biden’s victory, President Trump and his allies have targeted heavily Black cities, painting them as corrupt and trying to throw out huge numbers of votes.” — “Republicans Rewrite an Old Playbook on Disenfranchising Black Americans,” The New York Times, Nov. 22, 2020
“The essence of the [argument], after all, is that Trump won the election, or would have, if not for mass electoral fraud, all in swing states and only then in those cities with sizable Black populations, specifically Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee andPhiladelphia.” — “It Started With ‘Birtherism,'” The New York Times, Nov. 26, 2020
It’s as if everyone who writes for the Times just graduated from college with honors in “Spotting Racism.” Republicans aren’t complaining about the vote in Camden, New Jersey, or Memphis, Tennessee. They’re talking about cities with Democratic political machines, which were founded by Irish criminals long before black people showed up in large numbers.
Democratic machines have been stealing elections since before the Civil War.
This year, liberals told us that Trump is LITERALLY HITLER and his defeat the single most important event of our lives — something you’ll tell your grandchildren about someday! But we’re supposed to believe they decided, this one time, they wouldn’t cheat?
These are the people who tell you voter fraud is a crazy conspiracy theory.

Great article! My son is one of the founding members of #StopTheSteal. I told him he needs to develop a detailed database of every recorded incident of Demoncrat Cheating in elections since day 1, Then Work With a team of lawyers to block and catch this stratagem. He could then provide consulting on how to how to close these Gaps
Does anyone really believe the Times or the Post?
I guess Ann decided to get upset that Trump might lose, after all.
Where ya been, Ann? You wrote the book on TREASON.
Ann figures Trump is on the way out. So this is the perfect time to pretend to be a Trumper.
She’s just positioning herself to get interviews with Big Media. She plays both sides and can’t be trusted.
Looked at the column to speed read skim it.
On the right side was re-tweet of a Babylon Bee story satire saying Dr.Jill Biden sprang into action when a man in a restaurant was choking, and delivered an educational lecture to him.
Hilarious. All an EdD doctorate can do for one. Organizing educational bureaucrats and theorizing everything into a cohesive whole. Things like that.
Not an Ann fan but that aside was funny.

Regarding the 2004 Gregoire / Rossi WA gubernatorial steal. There was a lawyer / blogger named Steven Sharkansky on a site called Sound Politics. I followed it very closely, he was a great writer and so persistent. He did several in-depth studies and articles showing much like today, such irregularities that it had to be fraud. However, no “smoking gun” could be proven. He filed for discovery to see the voter roles in King County where all the suddenly found ballots kept arising. Note: anyone without a physical address could use the King County courthouse as their physical address. He was blocked from discovery siting no standing by King County. 4 years later soon after Gregoire was “elected” to her second term, a court granted in favor of Sharkansky with damages. He was the person that proved there were significantly more ballots found than voters on the roles. Plus he was granted a monetary settlement. 4 years later with clear proof but too late for anyone to even recognize it as a story. I lost my faith in all elections and recognize the D’s as the AEFAD (all enemies foreign and domestic)

“These are the people who tell you voter fraud is a crazy conspiracy theory.”
I agree with the statement but what grates on my nerves is that many people on both sides have begun referring to conspiracy theory as conspiracy, leaving off the word theory. Then when it turns out to be true they say “this is not a conspiracy, it is actually true. They end up saying NOT a conspiracy about that which is in reality a REAL conspiracy. It seems that most people have no idea what a conspiracy is. In the end it seems more and more as if it is not a conspiracy theory, it is in fact IDIOCRACY or worse.
I followed that one, too, on the Sound Politics blog (my user name was Interested Observer, since I don’t live there or vote there, unlike the ‘Rats, who never concern themselves with details like that). There were two things that really frosted by butt, aside from the blatant fraud/cheat that put Gregoire (Fraudoire) in office. The first was that spineless wimp of a RINO Sec. of State, Reed, who said after the cheat was in that Rossi should just suck it up and run for the lousy consolation prize of King Co. Executive. I say, f-that noise. The other was the judge in the case, who when confronted with evidence of fraud just threw out a half-dozen or so votes and told the ‘Pubs that, yes, maybe the election was poorly and sloppily managed, but it was up to the voters to fix that (presumably by electing more honest officeholders, and good luck with that in King County). Think about that. The judge says the system is broken, but its up to the voters to use a broken system to fix a broken system. Ever try to repair a broken tool with another broken tool? That’s when I lost all faith in the judicial system. If we place our hopes in it for justice, it won’t happen. The courts just won’t do anything. So why have them?
exactly. I have a longer reply in mind, but it boils down to this: the Democrat election machinery has to be destroyed, either covertly or overtly. That is the only solution that makes any logical sense.
That would certainly do it. I have often thought that the fraud and cheating will go on until ‘Rat candidates for office start losing elections because of fraud and cheating. Hard to do if you don’t have your hands on the levers. But once you do (if it ever happens), use it to give the ‘Rats a dose of their own medicine. As long as the ‘Rats get away with it, there is no incentive, from their viewpoint, to make changes.
I will bet you anything, if Trump concedes, the fake news media will “discover” hundreds of ballot fraud cases all of a sudden. Same as they rubbished the Hunter Biden corruption stories before the election and have now suddenly discovered it after the election.
That excellrbtvstrategy should go for every single national election from now on.
Way I see it, President Trump simply didn’t do enough to stop ballot fraud before the elections, even though he kept talking about it at all his campaign stops.
It’s always better to stop your jewels from being stolen than going out looking for them after they are stolen. Once its stolen, it’s much harder to get it back.
