And So The Fraud Begins....

Remember the debacle that was Bush V. Gore in the 2000 Presidential election? Well, with so much on the line for the Dems this midterm, you can expect fireworks. Seems that they've begun:

The interesting thing about this first post, is that the county is unionized, and guess what union is in charge of setting up the voting machines?  If you said the SEIU, then you guessed it  in one!

It's also interesting to note that Rory Reid is the Clark County Comissioner...even though he's disavowed his father by dropping the Reid last name from his campaign. Pardon me while I express my, erm, skepticisim....uh huh.

The excuse given is,well, questionable at best:

Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive

But this isn't just happening in Nevada. Already stories of questionable practices by the Dems and their supporters are cropping up on the east coast, specifically in Craven County,NC.  As The Sun Journal reports: Voter Reports Problem With Machine.  It's a good thing this voter checks his votes before casting:

Sam Laughinghouse of New Bern said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races, but the voting machine screen displayed a ballot with all Democrats checked. He cleared the screen and tried again with the same result, he said. Then he asked for and received help from election staff.

Let's not forget Chicago! After all there can be no election fraud with out Chi-town's participation.

This year marks the first Illinois election that any registered voter can cast their ballot by mail, no excuses necessary. Even as the deadline for postmarking those ballots nears, problems are brewing

This is rich: 

Chicagoan Rosia Carter is one of 404,000 registered Illinois voters who recently received vote-by-mail requests that were sent by the Illinois Democratic Coordinated Campaign.
"By the time I filled it out and sent it in, my vote would not get counted," Carter said.
She and others called the I-Team when they noticed the return address is not their local election official but instead a PO box for the organization. IDCC officials claim they are entering ballot request information into their own database before sending the mailings on to election authorities who then mail voters the ballot.

Uh huh....

Not wanting to be left out of the fracas, and perhaps one of the most blantant moves comes from Pennsylvania, where it's been alleged that:

...on a series of letters voters in Bucks County began receiving some time after Labor Day. On letterhead of the fictitious Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office, the mailings warned recipients that their right to participate in the Nov. 2 election might be in jeopardy if they failed to respond.
The letters are signed by Frank S. Schultz, a Levittown resident who contributed $2,750 to Murphy's 2008 campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records.
The letters included an absentee ballot application and a postage-paid envelope addressed to post office box 2172 at the Bristol Borough post office on Beaver Street. The petition includes a photo in which the note containing Persico's name is visible through the window of the post office box.
"The bogus letter seeks to trick voters into needlessly registering for absentee ballots and then, for reasons unknown, causes them to send those ballots to a post office box apparently controlled by the Democratic candidate for Congress," the petition says.

Here's the link to the story:  Residents Cry Foul Over Ballots

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that bastion of fine, upstanding, Constitutionalist judges, has opened the door to what is the potential for MASSIVE voter fraud.  Michelle Malkin does the usual bang up job in summoning up the facts.

I'm a fan of early voting, I voted myself on Tuesday. As for absentee voting, I can see where it's useful, with in reason. First of all, you should only be able to request an absentee ballot THROUGH THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS OFFICE and that's where they SHOULD BE RETURNED!! There is no reason for any committee, wether Democrat or Republican, to be sending out these ballots, and also having them returned to an address that isn't the registrar's office.

I also think that the reasons for allowing someone an absentee ballot should be few and for valid reasons. To change the rules to allow absentee voting for ANY reason short of being on vacation, in the hospital or home bound, merely allows for the kind of schnanigans we are starting to see.

All said, we have to keep vigilant. The Dems will stop at NOTHING to keep power, so that they can further their Socialist agenda.
