    Republicans indicted for voter fraud in Baltimore

    Do these Republicans ever stop? They are passing laws to stop voter fraud, they say, and they are the only ones being fraudulent. Shheeessshhh...


    " ... on Election Day as Ehrlich slipped in unofficial exit polls, and a hastily recorded robocall was sent to more than 112,000 voters in Prince George's County and Baltimore.

    The call told voters to "relax" because O'Malley had already won. "The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight," the caller said. In fact, polling places were still open. ..."

    The high moral grounders seem to have a lot of trouble staying on the moral high ground.

    Actually, no. I don't know of any ACORN fraud that was committed. Do you?

    Yes, there was a lot of shrill whining about it, but it never actually happened.

    Unless you have a reliable link to actual arrests and actual voting that was fraudulent?

    Stick your fingers in your ears and scream so that you can't hear it:

    Pa. Voter ID: Pa. Voter ID HB 934 - mcall.com

    For starters, in May 2009, a six-month FBI investigation led to forgery and election fraud charges against seven Pittsburgh area ACORN employees. In October 2008, Philadelphia's deputy city commissioner submitted approximately 8,000 fraudulent ACORN-collected voter registration forms for investigation.

    Also in October 2008, another ACORN canvasser was arrested in York County for, according to new reports, submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registrations "on at least 19 applications he randomly picked names out of the phone book and registered them."

    Massive or diminutive, every illegally counted vote cancels out the vote of legitimate voters and thereby further disenfranchises future participation, because of serious questions regarding whether our individual right to vote actually matters.

    Expert testimony presented to the House State Government Committee earlier this spring confirmed that requiring valid photo ID at the polls, as provided for by H.B. 934, can prevent the four most widely documented types of voter fraud: impersonation at the polls, fictitious registrations, double voting, and voting by illegal aliens.

    These conclusions coincide with the bipartisan findings of the 2005 Commission on Federal Elections headed by President Jimmy Carter and Secretary of State James Baker: "The electoral system cannot inspire public confidence if no safeguards exist to deter fraud or to conform the identity of voters. Photo IDs currently are needed to board a plane, enter federal buildings, and cash a check. Voting is equally important."

    As the U.S. Supreme Court also recognized, when it upheld the constitutionality of Indiana's voter identification law, flagrant examples of voter fraud "documented throughout the nation's history … demonstrate that not only is the risk of voter fraud real, but that it could affect the outcome of a close election."

    Acorn voter registration recruiter indicted on voter fraud charges | ksdk.com
    An East St. Louis woman who worked for Acorn submitted false information on voter registration cards according to a federal indictment.

    Deidra Humphrey is charged with submitting the forged cards in connection with the November 2008 general election. U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway alleges that Humphrey would forge cards for residents at nursing homes without their knowledge.

    According to the indictment, between June and August 2008, Humphrey worked as a voter registration recruiter for ACORN and then MPVC, obtaining voter registrations. In some cases, Humphrey submitted false and forged voter registration cards to the Boards of Election in St. Louis County and the City of St. Louis.

    The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition (MPVC) are non-profit organizations that conducted voter registration drives for the November 4, 2008 general election. Acorn publicly endorsed Barack Obama as its choice for president early last year.

    Those were not voter fraud cases. The report says that, but thats not what they were. I have no desire to walk you through those stories, but if you look at the stories, they all have to to with voter registration, not with polling place fraud. ACORN committed no fraud at any poll anywhere.

    Yes, I agree, There were shrill cries from the right and huge efforts to suppress the vote, but no, there were no polling place frauds having anything to do with ACORN. That was all just shrieking.

    Re: Republicans indicted for voter fraud in Baltimore

    ??? Did you look at your links? Not one of them mentions ACORN.
    1. Nothing to do with Acorn. No party affiliation was mentioned.
    2. Not fraud at all, just a guy making a mistake. (Actually, I happen to be familiar with this case, and it also appears to be an attempt to suppress the vote by restricting polling places by Republicans.)
    3. Republican fraud.
    4. s history book, and
    5. the last can't be reached.





    You make my case for me. The shrill cries of voter fraud are not based on fact, but are just made up to suppress the vote.

    Re: Republicans indicted for voter fraud in Baltimore

    Poor Dick...this is what happens when one attempts to make up one's own definitions.

    Electoral fraud refers to is illegal interference with the process of an election. The definition of the term varies from country to country. Generally it includes illegal voter registrationintimidation at polls and improper vote counting. Even though technically the term 'electoral fraud' covers only illegal acts, the term is also used to describe acts morally unacceptable, outside the spirit of electoral laws or in violation of the principles of democracy.

    Electoral fraud is also termed voter fraud.

    Re: Republicans indicted for voter fraud in Baltimore

    What tsquare and his links neglect to point out is that ACORN itself reported most (all) of its workers because it suspected the phony registrations. In other words, those busts happened because ACORN reported the incidents.

    It's a hoax when people are tried, convicted and sent to prison.

    Its a hoax when the GOP condemns ACORN for the actions of a few bad apples when the GOP had similar problems with fraudulent voter registrations:

    California GOP had Same Voter Registration Problems as ACORN in 2006 | News & Politics | AlterNet

    But unlike the California GOP in its 2006 voter drive, ACORN has a policy of telling local election officials when it believes it has fraudulent registrations. It is required by states to submit all voter applications and urges election officials to prosecute knowing mistakes. The current case against ACORN comes from its own disclosures.
    Liberals fail to recognize that modern conservatives are direct evidence of the failure of the public education system.

    Electoral Fraud Law & Legal Definition
    I believe words have meanings, and when we stop using those meanings with words, our language becomes ambiguous.

    But so what; please show where ACORN committed fraud of any kind.

    I will accept that some of their members acted inappropriately but is was random and it was rare. There was no widespread pattern of inappropriate behavior by ACORN, there was no fraud by ACORN, and very few actual cases of fraud by any person(s).

    The point was, and remains, that the shrill shrieks from the right were all about voter suppression and were shrill cries with little or no facts.

    I understand that those who want to believe ACORN was some bad boogie man will continue to believe it, but the facts just do not back up the hysteria.

    Re: Republicans indicted for voter fraud in Baltimore

    You CHOOSE to disregard what words mean and make up your own definitions....with all due respect that doesn't work for anyone who actually thinks.

    I am betting you have NO issue with the Black Panthers outside the Philly Polling place with night sticks.

    You don't get to "make" up your own definitions....the Left routinely is involved in Voter Fraud.....as defined by my Post.

    Folks like yourself give Dems a bad name.
