The GOP convicted of Voter Fraud...?!?

Capital Punishment Awaits All Ye Who Violate Their Sacred Trust:

And for Ann, with "voter fraud, multiple votes by the same person, the military must step in to protect the Constitution. And any persons intentionally aiding and abetting them should receive capital punishment also.", the troops should be called upon forthwith to provide her, and her friend at the FBI the "severe punishment" you call for.

Ann Coulter voted illegally in at least two elections (and in one case tried to have an ex-boyfriend, who worked for the FBI to intervene on her behalf):

"Up until now, the story --- along with complete documentation, such as the voter registration form on which she purposely lied and the evidence proving she knowingly voted in the wrong location --- has been told piece-meal in smaller stories as the scandal unfolded over the last two years"

Rep. McHenry (who just became famous for calling Elizabeth Warren a liar), had at least one, and possibly up to seven, young men illegally registered and voting, from the address of his small apartment:

"Congressman Patrick McHenry's (R-NC) 2004 campaign has been indicted for voter fraud in North Carolina. The indictment charges that Michael Aaron Lay, 26, illegally cast his ballot in two 2004 Congressional primary run-offs in which McHenry was a candidate. The charges indicate that Lay voted in a district where it was not legal for him to vote. Whoops. But Roger's version of the story reports a number of additional questionably-registered folks who appear to be living in McHenry's house as well,"
...

McHenry won the primary by only 86 votes." Liar.


You want something more recent? From the Wisconsin State Journal Friday, May 20, 2011:

"A Republican legislative aide is under investigation for possible vote fraud after she cast her ballot in the November election in Onalaska although she lives in Madison. Petryk, Malszycki's boss, is one of several co-sponsors of the controversial voter ID bill that passed the Senate Thursday.".

Or maybe this:

"Last month we reported on the seven felony counts charged against Indiana's newly elected GOP Secretary of State, Charlie White. Three of the charges are related to voter fraud by White, the chief election official in the state with the most draconian polling place Photo ID restrictions in the nation. White was charged by a grand jury of, among other felonies, having been registered to vote at an address where he did not live in the town of Fishers, where he previously served (apparently illegally) on the town council, and then knowingly voting in the wrong place last November as he ran to be Sec. of State."


Or maybe we should look at what one of the GOP's 2012 candidates, John Huntsman has to say on the issue. He must be strongly against voter fraud:

"Jon Huntsman Jr. is still registered to vote as a resident of the Utah governor’s mansion even through he resigned his office some 19 months ago to become the U.S. ambassador to China. In fact, Huntsman voted by absentee ballot for last year’s general election using the state-owned mansion on South Temple as his Utah residence — months after Gov. Gary Herbert settled into the historic building and Huntsman purchased a home in Washington, D.C."

Oops! Never-mind.

"But that's just individual voter fraud!", you say, "what about voter registration fraud?":

We have a Vote Fraud high achiever in this category:

" The owner of a voter-registration company pleaded guilty Tuesday to voter-registration fraud, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. Jacoby had been arrested for Voter Registration Fraud last October , smack dab during the media's orgasmic heights of last year's phony GOP ACORN "Voter Fraud" hoax, even as Fox "News" (and the other news outlets who similarly fell for the scam) was going wall-to-wall with unsupported insinuations about voter fraud by ACORN, Democrats, and Obama. Jacoby and Young Political Majors were hired by the California Republican Party to head up their voter registration efforts in the state. in this case," Jacoby, owner of Young Political Majors, registered to vote at Los Angeles addresses that were not his own. State law requires petition circulators to be qualified voters. Jacoby will also be required to show proof he is registered at his correct address.".

So he wasn't legally allowed to collect signatures in LA in 2008, but what about the signatures themselves?:

"Dozens of newly minted Republican voters say they were duped into joining the party by a GOP contractor with a trail of fraud complaints stretching across the country. Voters contacted by The Times said they were tricked into switching parties while signing what they believed were petitions for tougher penalties against child molesters. Some said they were told that they had to become Republicans to sign the petition, contrary to California initiative law. Others had no idea their registration was being changed.

"I am not a Republican," insisted Karen Ashcraft, 47, a pet-clinic managerand former Democrat from Ventura who said she was duped by a signature gatherer into joining the GOP. "I certainly . . . won't sign anything in front of a grocery store ever again."It is a bait-and-switch scheme familiar to election experts. The firm hired by the California Republican Party -- a small company called Young Political Majors, or YPM, which operates in several states -- has been accused of using the tactic across the country.Election officials and lawmakers have launched investigations into the activities of YPM workers in Florida and Massachusetts. In Arizona, the firm was recently a defendant in a civil rights lawsuit. Prosecutors in Los Angeles and Ventura counties say they are investigating complaints about the company.The firm, which a Republican Party spokesman said is paid $7 to $12 for each registration it secures, has denied any wrongdoing and says it has never been charged with a crime."

Until it was.

"The Times randomly interviewed 46 of the hundreds of voters whose election records show they were recently re-registered as Republicans by YPM, and 37 of them -- more than 80% -- said that they were misled into making the change or that it was done without their knowledge.The document that voters thought was an initiative petition has no legal implications at all. YPM founder Mark Jacoby said the petition was clearly labeled as a "plebiscite," which does nothing more than show public support.

He also said that plainclothes investigators for Secretary of State Debra Bowen, a Democrat, have conducted multiple spot checks and told his firm it is doing nothing improper."Every time, they gave us a thumbs-up," Jacoby said. "People are not being tricked.

"But Nicole Winger, a spokeswoman for the secretary of state's office, said the agency "does not give an OK or seal of approval to voter registration groups."

In California, signature-gatherers are prohibited by law from misleading voters about what they are signing.

"You can't lie to someone to procure their signature," said Richard L. Hasen, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles who specializes in election law.Civil rights activists recently filed a lawsuit in Arizona accusing YPM of deceiving residents to get signatures for a ballot measure that would have prohibited affirmative action by that state. The lawsuit was dropped after supporters of the measure pulled it from the ballot.

In Massachusetts, former YPM worker Angela McElroy testified at a legislative hearing in 2004 that she had tricked voters into signing a ballot measure to ban gay marriage. She said she told voters they were signing in favor of a measure to allow alcoholic drinks to be sold in supermarkets.

Two years ago, Orange County Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas charged 12 workers for a petitioning firm hired by the local Republican Party with fraudulently registering voters as Republican."

Or maybe something more systemic, not just individuals, but a pattern of fraud?

Of course!:

From the great state of Kentucky:

"Five Clay County officials, including the circuit court judge, the county clerk, and election officers were arrested Thursday after they were indicted on federal charges accusing them of using corrupt tactics to obtain political power and personal gain.

The 10-count indictment, unsealed Thursday, accused the defendants of a conspiracy from March 2002 until November 2006 that violated the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). RICO is a federal statute that prosecutors use to combat organized crime. The defendants were also indicted for extortion, mail fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to injure voters' rights and conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

According to the indictment, these alleged criminal actions affected the outcome of federal, local, and state primary and general elections in 2002, 2004, and 2006."



and California:

"Faked names on voter registration forms. Error rates as high as 60 percent. Firing the people responsible for these errors. Investigations launched by local and state police. Sound familiar? This is not ACORN in the 2008 election's final days. This is the California Republican Party and its contractors in 2006, when the same problems that are now dogging ACORN and providing political fodder for GOP attacks plagued an effort by California Republicans to register 750,000 people."



CA again:

"March 07, 2006 - San Bernardino County prosecutors are investigating a signature collection
firm that submitted thousands of flawed voter registration forms on behalf of the county's Republican Party, authorities said.

The district attorney's public integrity unit launched an investigation after the registrar of voters received complaints from people who said they had been improperly registered as Republicans during a recent GOP registration drive.

County voting officials said they found problems with many of the nearly 3,000 registration forms submitted by the company, including 1,800 that lacked voters' driver's license numbers or other official forms of
identification, which were required by a state law this year.

The district attorney's office is also investigating whether the same political firm, John Burkett Petition Management of Riverside, was responsible for the large number of signatures declared invalid in a recent petition drive in Rialto, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Frank Vanella.County GOP officials said they had severed ties with the owner of the firm, John Burkett, who had run the party's registration drive since January. Burkett said Monday that the allegations seemed "impossible" and that he only recently became aware of the state law requiring official documentation numbers on the forms. "For somebody to pop up and say 3,000 are bad ... it sounds kind of incredible," he said.

Burkett has run his company -- with more than 100 signature-gatherers in Riverside and Arizona -- for nearly two decades, contracting mainly with Republican organizations.

"I know John verifies every voter registration that comes across his desk," said his sister-in-law Barbara Burkett, who runs the firm's Arizona office. "He calls the person. He's honest like you wouldn't believe. He'd never cheat at all."

Republicans have aggressively courted voters in rapidly growing San Bernardino County. They hold a registration edge over Democrats, 42% to 38%, and hold four of five seats on the Board of Supervisors.

Burkett said he had worked with the county GOP since 2000. His firm is paid for each voter registration form it collects, usually $3. But the San Bernardino County Republican Party recently offered $6 for each GOP voter registered in the San Bernardino and Ontario areas, said party officials.



and Ohio:

"CLEVELAND (AP) — Two election workers in the state's most populous county were convicted Wednesday of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more thorough review of the votes.

Jacqueline Maiden, elections coordinator of the Cuyahoga County Elections Board, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee. They also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty.

Prosecutors accused Maiden and Dreamer of secretly reviewing preselected ballots before a public recount on Dec. 16, 2004. They worked behind closed doors for three days to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand, prosecutors said."

I'm guessing by now that you've changed your mind about the need for capital punishment for voting violations. IOKIYAR and all that.

But that's OK, because the GOP's cause is righteous, and we're just DFH. C'est la vie....

Below are the Rules for Liberal Nutjobs. These rules are ONLY to be used by liberals who are idiots. Liberals who are intelligent and sensible are NOT to use these rules. Use of them by sensible liberals constitutes moving to the far left nutjob category.

Here are rules for liberals to live by:
1. Accept nothing negative about obama, regardless of truth.
2. Support anything positive about obama, even if it is completely false.
3. Get your news and information ONLY from Keith Olberman, MSNBC and Jon "Liebowitz", aka Jon Stewart.
4. Whenever presented facts about obama, counter immediately with your own comments about the Jewish guy, Yabbut Bush, or just call names to whoever presented you with those facts.
5. Under NO circumstances debate obamas actual policies, decisions and comments. You can NOT win. Change the subject as quickly as you can. See #4.
6. Pretend that Tony Rezko, Rev Wright, Bill Ayres only exist in republicans' imagination and are not actually real people.
7. NEVER question anything that comes from the golden lips of obama or his minions.
8. Question EVERYTHING a republican says and NEVER bother youself with checking the factuality of such comments.
9. Change the normal name for everything to make it fit the liberal agenda. Example: earmarks are now called "projects" and terrorism is now called "man caused disasters"
10. When any conservative says or does anything, find any parallels to any other thing any other conservative has said or done and find any way to tie them together. Use complete idiocy if necessary. Also, when any conservative says anything at all, accuse ALL conservatives of focusing entirely on that one point.
11. When any liberal says or does anything, it is to be treated as completely separate incidents. In NO way are you to connect any action or words to any previous action or words, even if it is the same liberal saying or doing it.
12. If all else fails, loudly call names such as neocon, scum and fucktard to divert attention away from the actual issue.

MOST IMPORTANT! The truth is not on the liberal agenda. Dodge the truth in any way that you can. The liberal agenda is SOLEY interested in being obama yes men.

This should make it easier for all you liberals

Here you go. They are in deep shit all over the country.

ACORN's Troubles In Washington State

Since there is so much interest in the group, I thought I should provide this brief summary of their recent legal problems in our state.

One of the most serious cases involving ACORN came out of Seattle, where prosecutors in July 2007 indicted seven ACORN workers. They were accused of submitting phony registration forms in what Washington's secretary of state, Sam Reed, called "the worst case of voter-registration fraud" in the state's history. (Three of the seven pleaded guilty later that year.) The list of "voters" registered in Washington included former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, New York Times columnists Frank Rich and Tom Friedman, and actress Katie Holmes, as well as nonexistent people with nonexistent names such as Stormi Boys 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 that people could have voted illegally using some of those names.

Local officials refused to accept the registrations because they had been delivered after the 2006 registration deadline of October 7. Initially, ACORN officials demanded that the registrations be accepted and threatened to sue King County (Seattle) officials if they were tossed out. But in early November 2006 — just after four ACORN registration workers were indicted on charges of fraud in Kansas City, Missouri — the group reversed its position and said the registrations should be rejected. But by then, local election workers had a reason to scrutinize the forms carefully, and they uncovered the fraud. Of the 1,805 names submitted by ACORN, over 97 percent were found to be invalid. (pp. 50-51)
