This is the most important election in memory. Much more hinges on this than who controls the House or Senate.
Democracy itself is at stake.
Democrats are stealing democracy from the voters of this country.
When Catherine Engelbrecht and her friends sat down and started talking politics several years ago, they soon agreed that talking wasn’t enough. They wanted to do more. So when the 2008 election came around, “about 50” of her friends volunteered to work at Houston’s polling places.
“What we saw shocked us,” she said. “There was no one checking IDs, judges would vote for people that asked for help. It was fraud, and we watched like deer in the headlights.”
~~~“Vacant lots had several voters registered on them. An eight-bed halfway house had more than 40 voters registered at its address,” Engelbrecht said. “We then decided to look at who was registering the voters.”
10,000 voting machines burned.
Voting registration compromised
Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Steve [Sean] Caddle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid. The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.
Chicago (of course, Chicago)
October 26, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — 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 those ballots to be postmarked nears, problems are brewing.
An Illinois county election official is telling the ABC 7 I-Team that thousands — potentially hundreds of thousands — of voters who are expecting a ballot sent to them by mail may be disenfranchised.
Election ’10: The president’s home state gets a pass from the Justice Department on ensuring its soldiers overseas can vote. An administration obsessed with gays in the military doesn’t care about voting rights for GIs.
You can call it a tragedy of errors, a perfect storm of incompetent and uncaring bureaucrats, or you can call it a deliberate attempt to steal what looks to be a close race for both governor and U.S. senator in President Obama’s home state by disenfranchising its servicemen overseas, votes likely to tilt Republican.
But if you’re a con?
Meanwhile, the Chicago Board of Elections hand-delivers ballots to inmates in Cook County Jail. The board doesn’t even wait for the inmates to apply — it brings the applications with the ballots! More than 2,600 inmates have cast ballots — strikingly similar to the 2,600 soldiers who will likely not receive a ballot for Tuesday’s election.
Who is supposed to be monitoring this? Obama’s Department of Injustice.
A Craven County voter says he had a near miss at the polls on Thursday when an electronic voting machine completed his straight-party ticket for the opposite of what he intended.
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.
“They pushed it twice and the same thing happened,” Laughinghouse said. “That was four times in a row. The fifth time they pushed it and the Republicans came up and I voted.”
And Nevada
LAS VEGAS — Some voters in Boulder City complained on Monday that their ballot had been cast before they went to the polls, raising questions about Clark County’s electronic voting machines.
Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid’s name was already checked.
Ferrara said she wasn’t alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.
A problem with Clark County voting machines. Gee, who might be in charge of maintaining those machines?
Why, that would be SEIU.
Did you know that the SEIU represents the voting machine technicians in Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada? Is it any surprise, as we noted earlier today, that there was a voting glitch in Clark County, Nevada? The glitch caused Harry Reid’s name to be automatically checked on the ballot before voters had indicated who were they were supporting.
According to Joyce Ferrara who was an eyewitness to this strange ballot ordeal, the problem was widespread, “One person that’s a fluke. Two, that’s strange. But several within a five minute period of time — that’s wrong.”
Not content to allow SEIU to “maintain” the machines, Harry Reid is in wholesale bribery mode:
Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided “free food” at “voter turnout events.” Harry Reid has been offering free food and, according to other reports, some Democratic allies such as teachers’ unions are offering gift cards in return for a vote for Reid.
This election is incredibly important. Barack Obama must be stopped before he destroys this country, and Democrats know it. What they are doing is nothing less than the subversion of democracy.

“”I think that just because wingnuts propose something that would disenfranchise a disproportionate percentage of poor and minority voters does not mean that those voters should let it happen; most of them COULD get the requisite ID and I would hope that community groups would help them do so. They should not let GOers succeed in limiting the franchise by being too lazy to jump through some hoops.””
B-Rob, did you say this????? BULL SCHITE!!!! I HATE the “made up” word “Disenfranchised”!!! First off, I get why a LIBERAL would use it… since we’re talking votes, and Franchises CAN BE BOUGHT!!!! Uh HUH!
This argument is so full of it…. if they are “so poor”… when they went in for PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (you seem to think them dirt poor right?) to GET such aid… WHAT DID THEY HAVE TO DO????
Don’t know?? I’ll tell you, PROVE WHO THEY WERE!! Provide ID….. so your argument is crap. They want to cash their check…. they’ll have to?? SHOW ID!! Oh, they don’t cash it, they use direct deposit?? To open an account, you have to….. SHOW ID!!!! I know we did, at the bank! So WHY do you Libbies keep saying “oh, it’s just SO HARD” (think Bawney FWANK voice here) to show an ID!!
Try again.. this one won’t wash!!
MY SOLUTION?? After Election day, ALL VOTER ROLLS, are to be BURNED!! Every one of them, THEN, we start over! ID is REQUIRED to register. We have 2 years until the next election, it won’t be that hard at all. If you move, you will need to fill out a form, like they do here, when you sell a car. The new owner gets the title, but the seller has to report the sale. No report, you are in trouble with the DOR….. Same with moving, you will have to send a form, to your OLD place of registration, filled out in front of the NEW regitrar, who will then mail it FOR you, to endure you are stricken from your previous place of voting records. See?? It’s not hard to get it STRAIGHT AND CLEANED UP at all. Why don’t they?? Because, the powers that be, DO NOT WANT TO….. and those we need to FIRE also….. time to CLEAN HOUSE at EVERY LEVEL!!
Yes… I’m yelling! I’m Pissed, and sick and tired of lame excuses! Fix the problem, or get the hell out of the way for someone who can and will!! Enough already!!!
Rant over
One last thing, from then on…. punishment for Voter Fraud, is a cold needle. Because I personally see it, as a form of Treason. Anyone who tries to deny the “People” their right to decide the Nations course, by injecting their OWN, IS Committing Treason against the Citizens of the US!! So, lets PUNISH it as such!!
Think THAT would discourage the “practice”??
@Aye Chihuahua: #45 With this decision, DOJ has now barred Georgia from continuing the citizenship verification program that DOJ lawyers helped to craft.
I can see why King Obama doesn’t want mandatory proof of citizenship. If it takes off with the states, it might go Federal, then he couldn’t run in 2012.
@Aye Chihuahua: # 48 It just hit me!! If everybody has to prove who they are before they can vote, then B-Rob and the others probably won’t be allowed to vote as many times as they do now.
Maybe we should have a contingent from Iraq and Afghanistan monitor our election for the UN?
And we worry about fraudulent elections in Pakistan, iraq, and iran?
