Barbara Boxer’s Crocodile Tears
The QandO Blog
Posted by: McQ
You remember when Babs tearfully gave up her try to keep the electoral college vote from being certified when Ohio's turn came to cast its votes? All she wanted was a fair election. All she wanted was to ensure every vote was counted. All she wanted was a look into the voting irregularities in Ohio.
Dems of all stripes then took the opportunity to speak out on those against alleged "voter irregularities" in Ohio.
But one wonders where they are today in light of what the NY Post has compliled concerning 3 states in the Blue Belt: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Washington?
For instance in the Washington state in the governor's race:
<<<
Between the two recounts, King County "found" more than 700 ballots officials claim were wrongly rejected. They are included in the recount.
* The person in charge of King County ballot integrity, a Democratic political appointee, can't explain why there are 1,800 more votes "cast" than there are people who actually voted.
* More than 100 provisional ballots were tossed into the election machines before they were certified as legitimate.
* An estimated 1,109 convicted felons — all inegible to vote — illegally cast ballots in the election. Of these, 884 were in heavily Democratic King County.
>>>
Obviously that sort of abuse also would have implications in the national race as well.
Then there's Wisconsin and the presidential race:
<<<
* In Milwaukee, five Democratic campaign staffers, including Sowande Omokunde, the son of Rep. Gwen Moore, and Michael Pratt, the son of former acting mayor Marvin Pratt, will stand trial on felony charges of criminal damage to property, for slashing the tires of GOP get-out-the-vote vans.
* The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel found a discrepancy of 7,000 more ballots cast than there were records of people having actually voted. Curiously, the city has refused to let the paper examine questionable same-day voter-registration cards.
* Multiple state and federal official inquiries — including the FBI's — have been opened to examine Milwaukee's situation as well as other electoral oddities across the state.
>>>
Last but not least is Pennsylvania:
<<<
In Pennsylvania, Philadelphia has always been a nexus of Election Day shenanigans. As a Republican spokesman has said, "Vote early and vote often is as much a part of Philly as cheesesteak and the Liberty Bell."
Philadelphia voting machines were found to have votes already tabulated — before any votes were legally cast! Rep. Curt Weldon, a Republican who represents suburbs outside of Philadelphia discovered — and videotaped — members of the proto-Angry groups Move On.org and America Coming Together collecting absentee ballots from prison inmates and taking them to the local Board of Elections.
While some Pennsylvania convicts have the right to vote, third parties are not permitted to collect and forward absentee ballots. So MoveOn and ACT were breaking the law. Yet the story barely made the news.
>>>
In fact, this is the first I've heard of it.
Interesting that the electoral vote in both PA and WI weren't disputed by Boxer, et. al (or the Republicans, since they won the total vote). If they really wanted fair elections as they claimed, you'd have thought Babs would be babbling about those two states as well. But she's not. Nor are any of the Democrats.
However, given the reason for the Democrat advantage in both those states, it certainly explains why Kerry and Hillary Clinton want convicted felons to have the vote now, doesn't it?
