John Fund lists several cases of significant voter fraud in the US, and wonders where the outrage of Democrats went;
[T]he most interesting news came out of Seattle, where on Thursday local prosecutors indicted seven workers for Acorn, a union-backed activist group that last year registered more than 540,000 low-income and minority voters nationwide and deployed more than 4,000 get-out-the-vote workers. The Acorn defendants stand accused of submitting phony forms in what Secretary of State Sam Reed says is the “worst case of voter-registration fraud in the history” of the state.
The list of “voters” registered in Washington state included former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, New York Times columnists Frank Rich and Tom Friedman, actress Katie Holmes and nonexistent people with nonsensical names such as Stormi Bays and Fruto Boy. The addresses used for the fake names were local homeless shelters. Given that the state doesn’t require the showing of any identification before voting, it is entirely possible people could have illegally voted using those names.
Local officials refused to accept the registrations because they had been delivered after last year’s Oct. 7 registration deadline. Initially, Acorn officials demanded the registrations be accepted and threatened to sue King County (Seattle) officials if they were tossed out. But just after four Acorn registration workers were indicted in Kansas City, Mo., on similar charges of fraud, the group reversed its position and said the registrations should be rejected. But by then, local election workers had had a reason to carefully scrutinize the forms and uncovered the fraud. Of the 1,805 names submitted by Acorn, only nine have been confirmed as valid, and another 34 are still being investigated. The rest–over 97%–were fake.
Speaking of which – where is Landslide Annie these days?
Dennis Hastert and Tom Friedman, eh? Nice middle finger salute, that: they knew who they were dealing with and were none too worried. Makes me want to go grab some voters lists and have a look. But if we don’t hear from any lefty trolls today it may be because they read this post and are off on a Liberal voter registration drive.
Voter fraud is only a problem when it is perceived to be done by conservatives. Funny thing, though, conservatives don’t do it. Another instance of ‘projection’ at work.
….sniff sniff
I smell a troll.
You notice that it’s always the scumbag left who whine and complain when the talk of actually asking people for id to prove they have a right to vote comes up?
They say it’s discriminatory to ask people for id. Apparently poor and minority voters are too stupid to get id in their eyes.
Of course, trying to make it easier to detect voter fraud would harm the left…
Edmonton Center has been “cleansed” of Librano Quebec-styled ballot box magic.
Just because the liberals are more proficient at cheating doesn’t mean the right is incapable of it.
The conservatives might be a little more daring with the rules themselves if they had the MSM running blocker for them.
