Dems� Voter-Fraud Denial

How do you address a problem they insist doesn�t exist?

The spin doctors who deny the existence of voter fraud have no boundaries.

�Plans to fight voter fraud are based on nightmares, tall tales, and paranoid fears,� says Scott Keyes of the liberal Center for American Progress. Voter fraud is so rare �you�re more likely to get hit by lightning than find a case of prosecutorial voter fraud,� asserts Judith Browne-Dianis, co-director of the liberal Advancement Project.

Kim Strach, the new director of North Carolina�s Board of Elections, disagrees. She just searched a database that comprises about half the registered voters in the U.S. and found 35,750 voters in her state whose first and last names and full date of birth match with someone in another state who also voted in the 2012 election. A smaller number (765) had exact matches on Social Security numbers, but that total is artificially low because only some states provide that number for any or all of their voters.

Remember: In 2008, Barack Obama only carried North Carolina by 14,177 votes out of 2.3 million cast.

Strach is turning over her findings to the state legislature along with recommendations on what laws would help clean up the rolls.

Nor is North Carolina the only state with voter fraud in the news. Cobby Williams, a former 2012 independent congressional candidate in Mississippi, was sentenced to five years in prison this week for knowingly registering a convicted felon.

Last month, police in Pontiac, Mich., found the mummified body of Pia Farrenkopf in the garage of her foreclosed home. She had apparently been dead since 2008, but was listed as having voted in the 2010 election for governor.

Texas Democratic state representative Lon Burnam filed suit in March claiming he was defeated by 111 votes in his Democratic primary because of an illegal vote-by-mail operation, which might have been orchestrated by his opponent.

Even when fraud is obvious and proven, some liberals will dismiss or even defend it. In 2012, MSNBC host Lawrence O�Donnell, former staff director of the Senate Finance Committee, insisted it was �perfectly reasonable� for voter fraud to occur occasionally. When challenged, he repeated himself.

Also recently, former Cincinnati election official Melowese Richardson, who was released early from prison after being convicted of voting six times for Barack Obama in 2012, was called up on stage at a rally for Al Sharpton�s National Action Network for what Cincinnati National Action Network president Bobby Hilton called a ��welcome home.�� She was also hugged by the Reverend Al Sharpton.

All that was too much for local Democratic-party chairman Tim Burke, who was at the rally.

�What she did was criminal conduct and was particularly problematic because of her role as a poll worker,� he told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Circuit-court judge Jon Webster noted that he had taken special measures to ensure the integrity of the prosecution. �When this case first came about, I knew there was a possibility for political overtones,� the judge said. �That�s why I appointed special prosecutors for this case from both [political] parties.� The judge went on to say Marshall�s crimes were indeed serious.

�Those who tinker with the election process are tinkering with the foundations of democracy,� he said. �I worry that this will only serve to further voter apathy and voter cynicism. I don�t want the citizens of Jennings County to question the appointment of elected officials and wonder if it was really their votes that put them there.�

Marshall�s supporters were of a different mind. �I am just really disappointed. There are no victims in this case,� said Jennings County Democratic-party chairman Karen Snyder. After his plea agreement, she promised he would be hired to work for local Democrats in the future: �I know Mike as well as most people and I trust him. Without question, we will welcome Mike back to work for the party.�

No one is suggesting that liberal acceptance of voter fraud is universal. Nevada�s Democratic attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto vigorously pursued the voter registration fraudsters of the now-defunct ACORN and charged the group itself with voter fraud, which included hiring people from a prison work-release program who had been convicted of identity theft.

But liberals who consistently deny the existence of voter fraud � even absentee-ballot fraud � help contribute to a climate in which such offenses against democracy are too often excused or ignored.

�Voter fraud harms people in the Democratic coalition more than most,� says former Democratic congressman Artur Davis of Alabama, �I have seen up close how Democratic primaries have been stolen in Alabama by corrupt machines that then deliver bad services and poor schools and rob people of their future.� Davis, who is now a Republican, says measures to prevent voter fraud shouldn�t be controversial.

�There is a reason that polls consistently show over 60 percent of African-Americans and Hispanics support voter ID,� he told me. �They realize voter fraud isn�t a myth, and saying it is doesn�t make it so.�

"...All that was too much for local Democratic-party chairman Tim Burke, who was at the rally.

�What she did was criminal conduct and was particularly problematic because of her role as a poll worker,� he told the Cincinnati Enquirer..."

well, he will be looking for a new job.

There should be mandatory prison time for these sons of b!tches.

Discrepancies Found in Election Results from Several Swing States
Michael Leahy: Breitbart

A week after President Obama defeated Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election, questions continue to arise around polling results in swing states that don't quite add up.

In the key swing state of Ohio, where President Obama's 103,481 vote margin gave him 18 electoral college votes, several instances of unusual results have been reported.

In Wood County, where President Obama defeated Romney by a 31,596 to 28,996 margin, a total of 106,258 voters were registered. Comically, the online edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer showed that recent census data reports only 98,213 residents of Wood County are eligible to vote, but no mention of the discrepancy was made before the election.

Fueling frustration among conservatives is the report that in 12 wards of Cuyahoga County (home to the city of Cleveland), Governor Romney received zero votes. In Cleveland's 02-Q District, for instance, Obama received 542 votes to zero for Romney.

On election day, Breitbart News and other media outlets reported that two election judges were removed by order of the Director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections after Republican poll observers reported that unregistered voters were allowed to cast ballots.

In the swing state of Colorado, where President Obama defeated Romney by a 51% to 46% margin, President Obama won Gilpin County by a vote of 1,854 to 1,320. The county has a population of 5,411 citizens (4,494 of whom are over the age of 18), but 4,909 registered voters, 415 more people than are eligible to vote.

In Pennsylvania, where Obama won by a 52% to 47% margin, Romney received zero votes in 59 voting divisions within the city of Philadelphia. Those wards accounted for 3.5% of the city's election day turnout. As the Philadelphia Inquirer reported:


Still, was there not one contrarian voter in those 59 divisions, where unofficial vote tallies have President Obama outscoring Romney by a combined 19,605 to 0?

The unanimous support for Obama in these Philadelphia neighborhoods - clustered in almost exclusively black sections of West and North Philadelphia - fertilizes fears of fraud...

Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia who has studied African American precincts, said he had occasionally seen 100 percent of the vote go for the Democratic candidate. Chicago and Atlanta each had precincts that registered no votes for Republican Sen. John McCain in 2008.

"I'd be surprised if there weren't a handful of precincts that didn't cast a vote for Romney," he said. But the number of zero precincts in Philadelphia deserves examination, Sabato added.

"Not a single vote for Romney or even an error? That's worth looking into," he said.

Breitbart News reported on Sunday that an additional 333,908 votes cast for Governor Romney in the swing states of Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and New Hampshire would have delivered him to a 270 to 268 victory in the electoral college.

As long as state sponsored voter fraud exists, there will be no 'free elections' in America.
The dhimmicrat party is truly, the fount of all evil.

all you have to do is say "voter fraud" and Dems. say it doesn't exist.... what if you tried to convince them there was Republican voter fraud, would they agree once they got over the shock?

The democrat way; lie, lie, lie. deny, deny, deny.

I sometimes lurk the demonic underground forum to see what the other side is talking about. Any time a dem loses an election the consensus over there is voter fraud /gerrymandering. Yet they are pretty much 100% against voter id of any kind.

from the Commie play book.... keep running it, over and over...

Liars are gonna lie.

Hey, illegals and dead people should have a say in who "we" choose as elected officials! In some cases, a person might be SO excited about a canidate that they may want to vote for that person 2 or 3 times.

Remember, when it comes to Libretards, voter fraud only exists if their canidate loses the election. Remember the hanging chads?

This is the most prime example of the saying "YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH A LIBERAL". There is no viable, sensible, logical argument that voting should be controlled and limited to US citizens. Period. And there is no logical argument that a person who is a registered voter should have an ID that gives them the right to vote. This old crap about it being racist and gives minorities a disadvantage is unbelievably garbage. Yet, the media allows this crap to foster.

Honesty is not the strong suit of the democrat party.

So now, a few years too late, we are finding out with research what everyone postulated the week after the election in 2012--it was illegally stolen by the Democrats.

The real news here is that it is now considered an okay time to reveal all of this, get a couple of prosecutions, and sweep it all under the rug.

One tactic is to "discover" an overlooked ballot box that will contain 99% (or more) Democrat votes. This happened in Marshall, NC in a recent election; the ballot box was reportedly found in the French Broad river! How it got there is anybody's guess.

It just shows that the Democrat Party is not so much a political party as it is a successful criminal enterprise.

The left generally doesn't deny that voter fraud occurs per say, they deny that it has a meaningful impact.

The reason they act to block ID laws is that those most likely to have no ID are those who vote democrat: poor people. Of course when you mention that a non-drivers license ID often costs about what a 12pack of beer costs, and poor people have no trouble obtaining beer, they generally have no response.

Good luck prosecuting voter fraud in those "100%" districts. Urban districts' voting officers are 100% controlled by the same highly educated "community volunteer" types that run the local churches, and local not for profits. They are in tune to every source of government funding, and work as go betweens for the poor uneducated community and the sources of political funding that keep the welfare and federal and state block grant funds ticking into the inner city. It's a successful enterprise that falls apart without continued political support. Thus they have a very vested interest in getting out the vote, and everyone, community volunteers and citizens on the dole are complicit.

�There�s no guarantee that the North Carolina story will follow the multi-step pattern of: 1) big initial number; 2) partisan outrage; 3) further investigation; 4) much smaller actual number; 5) partisan indifference,� Doug Chapin, who as the director of the Program for Excellence in Election Administration at the University of Minnesota, is among the country�s foremost experts on running elections, wrote online. �But in my experience, that�s the way to bet.�

O'Keef <or something close to that spelling> the guy that has done undercover films showing many cases of liberal illegal behavior... showed the NC voter scam happening over and over again... no legal consequences resulted.... I grieve for our Country.
