Repug voter fraud in early voting

[boutons_]

In spewing their slime and smokescreen about ACORN's self-reported/flagged problematic registrations, the Repugs want suckers to confound fake registrations, most of which will be discarded anyway, with fraudulent voting.

otoh, the Repugs are purging and intimidating VOTERS, and much more effective tactic than Mickey Mouse registering.

ROLLING STONE: It's Already Stolen
Posted By Greg Palast On October 16, 2008 @ 11:59 pm In


Investigation by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast released today


Don’t worry about Mickey Mouse or ACORN stealing the election.

According to an investigative report out today in Rolling Stone magazine, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast, after a year-long investigation, reveal a systematic program of "GOP vote tampering" on a massive scale.

- Republican Secretaries of State of swing-state Colorado have quietly purged one in six names from their voter rolls.

Over several months, the GOP politicos in Colorado stonewalled every attempt by Rolling Stone to get an answer to the massive purge - ten times the average state's rate of removal.

- While Obama dreams of riding to the White House on a wave of new voters, more then 2.7 million have had their registrations REJECTED under new procedures signed into law by George Bush.

Kennedy, a voting rights lawyer, charges this is a resurgence of 'Jim Crow' tactics to wrongly block Black and Hispanic voters.

- A fired US prosecutor levels new charges - accusing leaders of his own party, Republicans, with criminal acts in an attempt to block legal voters as "fraudulent."

- Digging through government records, the Kennedy-Palast team discovered that, in 2004, a GOP scheme called "caging” ultimately took away the rights of 1.1 million voters. The Rolling Stone duo predict that, this November 4, it will be far worse.

There's more:

- Since the last presidential race, "States used dubious 'list management' rules to scrub at least 10 million voters from their rolls."

Among those was Paul Maez of Las Vegas, New Mexico - a victim of an unreported but devastating purge of voters in that state that left as many as one in nine Democrats without a vote. For Maez, the state's purging his registration was particularly shocking - he's the county elections supervisor.
The Kennedy-Palast revelations go far beyond the sum of questionably purged voters recently reported by the New York Times.

"Republican operatives - the party's elite commandos of bare-knuckle politics," report Kennedy and Palast, under the cover of fighting fraudulent voting, are "systematically disenfranchis[ing] Democrats."

The investigators level a deadly serious charge:

"If Democrats are to win the 2008 election, they must not simply beat McCain at the polls - they must beat him by a margin that exceeds the level of GOP vote tampering."

Block the Vote by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Greg Palast in the current issue (#1064) of Rolling Stone.

btw, the FBI and/or WH leaking that FBI was investigating ACORN is a violation of FBI's own rules, where such investigations are not announced. FBI has been compromised, along with the rest of govt, into nothing but a political arm of the Repug party.

[Wild Cobra]

My God. This idiotic thread for a voting machine that needs the touch screen calibrated?

I'll bet there are reverse incidence, but because the liberal media doesn't want to report on a macine switching a republican vote to democrat, we wont see it.

Just calibrate the damn touch screen!

[fyatuk]

716,252 non-matches in Nevada

That's just messed up considering Nevada's population per 2007 estimates is only 2.5 million. What the is up with ACORN there?

In a startling concession, the Republican Party has admitted to participating in an illegal scheme to use foreclosure lists to challenge predominantly Democratic voters in Michigan on Election Day.

An announcement by the Michigan Democratic Party of the settlement of a suit brought last month by the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign states, "The settlement acknowledges the existence of an illegal scheme by the Republicans to use mortgage foreclosure lists to deny foreclosure victims their right to vote. This settlement has the force of law behind it and ensures that Republicans cannot disenfranchise families facing foreclosure."

GOP admits plan to use foreclosure list to challenge voters

It may not be ethical, but why is it illegal?

The settlement may be cheaper than defending in court. It happens all the time.

Since we all acknowlege voter fraud occurs, why not allow a method for checking? A forclosure list tells you of people who no longer live at a stated address. If they haven't re-registered with a new address, they are not allowed to vote in many jurisdictions!

Anyone against law inforcement?

Wow so because they are in foreclosure they are not allowed to vote? Amazing how far the Repub party has sunk.

No, if they were forclosed on, they no longer have the same address.

[boutons_]

"why is it illegal"

because it's against the law.

Losing your house doesn't lose your citizenship nor your right to vote, although I can see how you social/economic Darwinists would love to punish ex-homeowners.

btw, states are restoring right to vote to ex-cons, eg, even red state FL

"The Florida Legislature and Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican, changed the rules last year to restore the voting rights of about 112,000 former convicts"



"Since we all acknowlege voter fraud occurs"

You're a liar.

[Purple & Gold]

No, if they were forclosed on, they no longer have the same address.

So because you are facing foreclosure you are not allowed to vote?? Wow talk about being elitist. Almost like Colonial America.

God I hate idiots like you who change what I say. I never said facing forclosure you fool.

IT IS LAW IN MOST PLACES THAT YOU ARE ONLY QUALIFIED TO VOTE WITH A CURRENT ADDRESS ON FILE!

Oh, if English is your second language, you are forgive. If not, please study english so you can get a better job.

Even if you didn't say it that's what the foreclosure list has on it. So then you agree that it's illegal?

Ohhh and newsflash just because you are facing foreclosure does not mean that you don't live at that address.

Maybe you should actually know what you're talking about before you open your piehole.

You should stop that talking and go back and read the articles linked to the first article linked.

I thought we were commenting on the article about the foreclosure list in Michigan. What exactly were you talking about??

And @ you crying about stopping the talking.

[ChumpDumper]

So Wild Cobra wants to disenfranchise people facing foreclosure.

Sounds about right.

[Wild Cobra]

The problem with you liberals is you hear and read what you want.

Again, it is places forclosed on. PAST TENSE! Please go back and refesh yourself with 5th grade english. Go and follow the links in the articles linked in post #58, the first of this forclosure topic.

Please stop being silly es. Also, at the botton of the linked article:

oopsies.

But but but the Republicans are pro-american.

That must mean it is pro-america to deny people the right to vote.

I have always half-joked about the Republican War on the Poor, but this really makes me wonder how much of that is really true.

[RandomGuy]

You should stop that talking and go back and read the articles linked to the first article linked.

Remember to count the articles that WC posts 10 times when weighing the evidence, and to multiply the articles that make republicans look bad by
.02351185

[RandomGuy]

I see a lot of anecdotal evidence that there are a lot of Republican attempts to disenfranchise poor people, so I can only conclude that there is more of it today than there was 30 years ago.

My God. There are allot of Jethro Bodine's out there.

I know you guys graduated from 5th grade and can count to ten when you take your shoes off, but you should still understand that FORCLOSED with the 'ED suffix means past tense. These people no longe live there. Don't you get it?

[ChumpDumper]

Wild Cobra wants to kick people when they are down.

Sounds about right.

Will 10 points lead be enough to overcome Repug VOTER fraud and suppression?

Is it ok with you if we suppress the votes of the dead, votes of fictional characters, and multiple votes of people that have already voted once?
