Dem Election Fraud Scorecard - Updated Through Elections

[epicSocialism4tw]

The Dems are in quite a hole in terms of public support in 2010. However, the Dems have raised more in campaign funds than their enemies. With the tradition of dirty tricks that has been the norm for this generation of dems, it will be interesting to watch how they try to fix elections all over the country.

I'll try to update this thread when I find stories. Please update it yourself as well.

Allegations of voter fraud fly in NV Senate race

The Associated Press

Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010 | 10:32 a.m.

Allegations of voter fraud or voter intimidation are being slung from both sides in the final days of Nevada's U.S. Senate race between Democrat Harry Reid and Republican Sharron Angle.

Secretary of State Ross Miller is investigating early voting irregularities in Clark and Washoe counties after the Nevada GOP filed a 44-page complaint this week.

Angle's campaign says Reid and Democratic union backers are illegally buying votes with free food and coffee. A fundraising plea e-mailed to supporters Monday claimed that Miller has been helping Reid.

Angle campaign attorney Cleta Mitchell tells The Associated Press the campaign doesn't have direct evidence of the alleged fraud.

Meanwhile, Reid's campaign says Angle supporters are intimidating voters at the poll.

Stunner. AZ Group Accused of Massive Voter Fraud Is Offshoot of SEIU

Yesterday, the Yuma Sun reported that two organizations Mi Familia Vota and One Vote Arizona submitted more than 3,000 voter registrations in Yuma County right before the deadline for registering voters. The groups submitted over 20,000 registrations statewide.

What the Yuma Sun did not tell you is that over 65% of these last minute registrations were invalid due to the registrant not being a citizen, a wrong/invalid address, or a false signature.

A trio of Bucks County residents backed by the county Republican committee say they have evidence linking Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy's campaign to a scheme to flood the county voter registration office with fraudulent applications for absentee ballots.

In a petition filed Tuesday, county Republicans say the name of Murphy's campaign manager appeared on a Bristol post office box where voters were urged in a series of letters paid for by the state Democratic Committee to send absentee ballot applications. "

Machine Technicians for Machines in Nevada That Automatically Check Harry Reid's Name are SEIU...State Employee Union Members

"it is worth noting that the voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU spent $63 million in elections in 2008 and is planning on spending $44 million more this election cycle -- nearly all of that on Democrats. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is formerly the SEIU's top lobbyist, and former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House last year.

Just in Nevada, the SEIU has given a lot to groups that are heavily vested in the state -- in just one prominent example, the SEIU gave $500,000 to the Patriot Majority PAC, which has spent $1.3 million against Reid's opponent Sharron Angle. They've and have dropped large sums directly on candidates:

NV-3
Joe Heck (R)
Oppose
$140,000.00

NV-3
Dina Titus (D)
Support
$344,984.00

NV-Senate
Sharron E. Angle (R)
Oppose
$225,000.00"

Of course, only way for democrats to keep power is to commit voter fraud, which is ok by their supporters. They only get upset about it when they just even suspect it happening for somebody else. Notice the liberal states mailing out the absentee military votes late. Just a coincidence.

Allegations of voting fraud are made every election cycle from both parties. It is nothing new. Key word is allegations. Whether or not they were intentional remains to be seen.

Group claiming voter fraud benefited from Angle contribution
A non-profit group run by Sharron Angle donated almost $100,000 to a group now claiming that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is trying to steal the U.S. Senate election.

In 2008, Angle’s We the People Nevada PAC contributed $92,000 to the Nevada Action Coalition. The Coalition emerged this month as a player in alleging ballot hijinks by Democrats.

Coalition members recently advertised a “voter fraud” meeting and accused Reid of wanting to rig the race.

“Want to make sure Harry and his buddies don’t steal this election?” an Oct. 9 web post read. “Then come to the training next Tuesday. We need lots of watchers, cause you know the dark side has secret plans for this election.”

Last week, the group posted a second warning to members:

“I recieved (sic) a call…about a ‘funny’ voter machine at Tropicana & Hualapi. Seems when she voted for a Republican candidate the machine ‘helped’ by changing her vote to a Democrat candidate.

The dumbest thing the Democrats have tried to do over the past 10 years is try an steal the 2000 Presidential Election. They tried to change election law in the middle of an election. The shipped in fake ballots that could not be read and tried to have people interpret the votes. Finally the SCOTUS put a stop to the nonsense and sent Al Gore back to his home state where he lost the vote. I will say they were successful in doing this when Franken got beat in 08.

Its literally a party without morals or ethics. Moral relativism is the party philosophy. A consequence of moral relativism is that ethics and morals are not important if there is no pragmatic reward. So literally, you have a group of people who only adhere to standards when it is convenient. Not to say that progressive republicans dont do the same thing, because they do. However, the dem constituency has taken to that practice themselves.

The dems press the system from all sides, using federal powers to put political pressure on their enemies, and they do call republicans their enemies. The dems use the EPA, the IRS, the FCC, the FDA, and whatever federal bureaucracy they place their party members in to use federal funds in attacking opponents.

These guys dont believe that the constitution is the governing document in this country. They believe that they can do whatever they want with the resources at "their disposal". They dont believe that they are servants of the people, they believe that they are the dictators of the people.

Its just about time we amended the constitution to limit the powers of the federal government.

[Rohirrim]

Bush implemented an intensive fraud investigation in the midterms while he was president. It cost who knows how much. Why? Because the Right just loves to get hysterical about voter fraud. It's just part of the terror they always feel when they contemplate people voting who aren't like them, you know, people of color. Anyway, you know how many cases of prosecutable fraud they came up with? 55. This was a national investigation, mind you. And of that 55 how many cases where they actually prosecuted an individual for fraudulent registration? 5.

How and Why We Subpoenaed Election Thief Karl Rove

by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman

Election woes got you down?

Imagine the look of contempt on Karl Rove's face this past Sunday as he swaggered toward his star turn on CBS's Face the Nation only to be served with our subpoena sanctioned by the Secretary of the State of Ohio.

The federal subpoena orders Rove to testify in deposition. Our attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, intends to ask Mr. Rove about his role in the theft of the 2004 election, and to discuss his orchestration of tens of millions of corporate/billionaire dollars in the one coming up on November 2, 2010.

As co-counsel and plaintiff in the on-going King-Lincoln-Bronzeville federal lawsuit, we have fought for six years to win justice and full disclosure in an election that Rove stole for George W. Bush.

In the course of this civil rights federal suit, we have seen the illegal destruction of hundreds of thousands of paper and electronic ballots that were supposedly protected by federal law.

We have seen 56 of 88 Ohio counties destroy most of their poll records, making a full recount of the 2004 vote an impossibility. Some of this destruction was done in defiance of federal law and a federal court order, for which no one has been prosecuted.

We have also seen the very mysterious and disturbing death of Michael Connell, Rove's former chief computer guru. Rove used Connell to establish the electronic tools and architectural framework through which the vote count manipulations that shifted the election from John Kerry to Bush were accomplished.

An experienced professional pilot, Connell died improbably in a fiery crash at his home airport in Canton in December, 2008. Connell had been deposed the day before the November 2008 election. Attorney Arnebeck was in the process of preparing for another round of questioning when Connell's life was ended.

Our subpoena is aimed at letting Rove explain all he did to give himself, Bush, and Dick Cheney another term in the White House.

But there is much more. With the US Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision, the floodgates have opened to an unprecedented wave of cash coming from corporations and billionaire donors such as the Koch Brothers. By many accounts at least $150 million in corporate/billionaire lucre is being laundered through Rove's American Crossroads.

Under Rove's orchestration, this money is being used to wipe Democrats out of Congress and to take control of the apportionment process at the state level throughout the country.

"Rove is the de facto head of a coordinated Republican national campaign in which Tom Donahue of the Chamber of Commerce is a senior partner, while the Republican National Committee has been relegated to junior partner status," says Arnebeck.

"Rove has filled the airwaves with high-priced attack ads funded by the mega-corporations and billionaires that stand to benefit most from another assault on the public trust and treasury.

"He and the Koch Brothers have also funneled large bundles of cash to a Tea Party astroturf organization meant to give the Republican campaign a grassroots veneer.

"From the fiasco of Florida 2000 through the theft of Ohio 2004 to the present, there has been no significant federal reform of the electoral process or curtailment of the use of easily manipulated electronic voting machines," adds Arnebeck. "With the added tsunami of cash from Citizens United, Rove's role as the principal perpetrator of a racketeering conspiracy, as defined by the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act, has been vastly enhanced."

"Rove has asked for all this money on behalf of the Republican candidates' campaigns. Under Citizens United that still constitutes a gift to those campaigns and is still subject to limits and prohibitions of campaign finance laws. Camouflaging the gifts by running them through nice sounding non-profit corporations is nothing but the latest form of money-laundering," said Arnebeck.

"Our lawsuit stemming from the widespread 'irregularities' that defined the 2004 election has never been settled," concludes Arnebeck. "With the approval of the out-going Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, we have served Mr. Rove with a legally binding requirement that he answer a few questions."

Stay tuned.

What's distorted is your understanding.

It has nothing to do with "giving money to the rich", it has to do with enabling the private sector to begin creating work again. Its about taking resources away from the bloated, inefficient, stagnant public sector and putting it into the hands of small business people who work to provide jobs for their communities.

If you dont feel the sting of inflation and taxation, then you are numb to the point that you have become a slave.

The Question That Answers Everything About the Election (and America, too)

by Marty Kaplan (http://www.smirkingchimp.com/author/12097) | October 29, 2010 - 10:57am

A polling firm looking for America's top consumer brands stumbled across something that I think comes as close as anything to explaining what ails this American moment.

According to Advertising Age (http://adage.com/article?article_id=146663), YouGov asked people about a bunch of brands' quality, value, their satisfaction with it, their willingness to recommend it and their general impression of it, and they came up with an overall index of favorability.

And then they sorted the answers according to the political party of the respondents. (We did something like that in the 2008 election, when we worked with Zogby to figure out how entertainment preferences correlate with political preferences (http://www.learcenter.org/html/projects/?cm=zogby).)

The number one most favored brand among Democrats appears nowhere among the top ten most favored brands among Republicans. Ditto the reverse: Republicans' favorite brand is nowhere among Democrats' top ten.

If you look at what those two brands are, you can infer a lot about America right now.

Republicans' top brand: Fox News Channel. Democrats: Google.

Fox News: a hermetically sealed bubble of unquestionable absolutes, with sacred sages, approved opinions, official history, bright-line boundaries, party-line facts.

Google: the cacophony of the crowd, the contest of contradictions, the boundless wild west, the jumble of truth and rumor, the burden on its users to sort science from fiction -- with all the anxiety, uncertainty, tentativeness and humility that comes along with that obligation.

On a good day for the network, a couple million or so Americans watch Fox News. On an average day, a couple hundred million or so Americans use Google or some other search engine. It's odd that the media frame the battle lines as Fox vs. MSNBC, when the real fissure may be the one between the zealots and the searchers.

here you go mcdummy, let me know if you and the other rightards around here got similar pamphlets in your paycheck:rofl:

McDonald’s Workers Are Told Whom to Vote for

WASHINGTON — When workers in a McDonald’s restaurant in Canton, Ohio, opened their paychecks this month, they found a pamphlet urging them to vote for the Republican candidates for governor, Senate and Congress, or possibly face financial repercussions.

The pamphlet appeared calculated to intimidate workers into voting for Republican candidates by making a direct reference to their wages and benefits, said Allen Schulman, a Democrat who is president of the Canton City Council and said he obtained a copy of the pamphlet on Wednesday.

The pamphlet said: “If the right people are elected, we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above the current levels. If others are elected, we will not.”

It then named three Republican candidates after stating, “The following candidates are the ones we believe will help our business move forward.”

The store’s owner, Paul Siegfried, did not return a call for comment, but a spokesman for McDonald’s USA, the parent company, said: “It was an unfortunately lapse in judgment on Mr. Siegfried’s part. He’s disappointed with himself.”

The spokesman, Joe Woods, e-mailed a statement on Mr. Siegfried’s behalf. “For those that I have offended, I sincerely apologize,” the statement said.

Mr. Woods said Mr. Siegfried’s action did not represent the policy of McDonald’s.

Mr. Schulman, who is a lawyer, said that distribution of the pamphlet — which was printed on a McDonald’s letterhead — violates a 1953 Ohio statute that prohibits political material from being attached to wage envelopes. He declined to comment on how he got a copy, or who gave it to him, but said it was distributed to employees within the past week.

He said he had forwarded a copy to the authorities in Canton, requesting that they investigate.

Joe Martuccio, the law director for the city of Canton, said by telephone on Friday he was in the process of determining whether the distribution occurred within city limits and whether he had the authority to investigate.

“We have to determine the facts first,” he said.

The incident came as liberal voting-rights groups expressed concern that conservative complaints about fraudulent voting would lead to a reduced turnout on Election Day. Some Tea Party members have announced plans to question voters at the polls whom they suspect of being ineligible.

The incident also highlighted how fraught politics have become just days before the midterm elections in Ohio, a key battleground state, where incumbent Democrats are struggling for their survival.

Good for McDonalds. The administration has made them their whipping boy. McD's should bus their people to the polls with big red R's on their shirts.

That's what makes McShillit and his ilk such major league hypocrites.
