Thanks wstera_02, I didn't think I was being overly pessimistic. I'm sure you have heard of "Citizenship USA." The motor-voter bill was an abomination also.

<font color=blue>Stopping Voter Fraud Could Make a BIG Difference! <font color=black>

Voters Chose a Change of Climate in Washington
By Mary Mostert, Analyst, Banner of Liberty (www.bannerofliberty.com)

November 5, 2002 - 6:00 A.M.

This article was written on Monday before the election. I predicted, based on actions by Attorney General Ashcroft to stop voter fraud that has been rampant in the elections since passage of the Motor Voter Bill by a Democrat Congress and signed by Bill Clinton in 1993, that "not only will the Republicans keep the House of Representatives but also will pick up a couple of Senate seats. That will enable George W. Bush to get his judges approved and his policies supported in the Senate."

Mary Mostert

By the time most people read this, the November 5, 2002 election will be over. The November 4th, Monday morning debate in Minnesota between former Democrat Vice-President Walter Mondale and Republican challenger Norman Coleman may very well go down in history as the bellwether event that mostly clearly illustrated the real issues of the 2002 elections.

Would voters continue to be swayed by Democrat class warfare arguments that had brought them victory for most of the 20th century or would voters opt for "changing the climate" in Washington to finding ways for Democrats and Republicans to work together to find solutions to national problems? In the debate between the Senate seat left vacant by the death of liberal Democrat Paul Wellstone, 74-year-old Mondale was a nearly perfect example of the class warfare school of thought in American politics and Coleman was a nearly perfect spokesperson for the George W. Bush notion of being a "uniter, not a divider."

Did the American people accept Bush’s vision for the future or did it keep the class warfare vision of their fathers and grandfathers in the 2002 election? On Saturday, November 2, (President Bush dealt with the issue in his radio address. whitehouse.gov He said,

"Since coming into office, I have sent to the Senate 32 nominees for the federal courts of appeals. These nominees are men and women with experience, intelligence, character and bipartisan home-state support. They represent the mainstream of American law and American values. Yet the Senate has confirmed only 14 of these 32 nominees. As of this week, 15 of my appeals court nominees will have been forced to wait over a year for a hearing, which is more than under the previous nine Presidents combined."
If the voters selected Democrats in the Senate, they voted to continue the judicial gridlock. If the voters selected Republicans in the Senate, they voted to allow Bush to choose judges. The 2002 election also quite possibly marked a new beginning in an effort to try to put an end to the voter fraud that had become so blatant and widespread by the year 2000 that it nearly affected the choice of President. The Atlanta-Journal reported following the 2000 election that while the dead in Georgia have "voted for years," their numbers were increasing rapidly. An estimated 15,000 dead people were on active voting rolls statewide in Georgia in 2000. The Journal tracked the votes cast by Democrat Alan Jay Mandel, "always a patriotic man" who had voted in every election after he had died in January 1997.

After something like five or six selective "recounts" in the Florida votes in 2000, the final "official" vote showed that the President had only a few hundred more votes than Al Gore. However, it was later proved that more than two thousand dead people, along with numerous illegal aliens and felons had voted in heavily Democrat precincts in Florida. However, those illegal votes were never subtracted from the "official" vote tallies.

The 1993 federal Motor Voter Law, passed by a Democrat controlled Congress and signed into law in May 1993, "vastly expanded the opportunities for ballot fraud" according to the National Center for Policy Analysis. (NCPA) The Motor Voter law made it easier for illegal aliens to register to vote and changed the way voting rolls are purged. Prior to the law being passed, county registrars automatically purged the rolls of people who hadn't voted for three years. Because Democrats complained that the automatic purges "might be diluting black voting strength", automatic purges were banned under the Motor Voter Law. Today’s voter rolls are loaded with dead people, voters who have moved elsewhere, illegal aliens and felons.

Of approximately eight million people had registered that way by December 2001 only about five percent of them usually bother to vote -- leaving a considerable pool of names available to those bent on election mischief. And, since most states don't require photo IDs at polling booths it is easy to vote in someone else's name, either in person or by absentee ballot.

In 1996, prior to the Clinton-Dole election, Clinton allowed thousands of illegal aliens, many of whom had criminal records, to become citizens and vote in the election. Hundreds of illegal aliens were recruited by Hermandad Mixicana Nacial to vote in the congressional race between Rep. Bob Dornan and challenger Loretta Sanchez in Southern California in 1996. Sanchez won the seat.

During 2002 Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Terry McAuliffe has run a systematic campaign to head off efforts to stop voter fraud by claiming such efforts were a "coordinated strategy to intimidate voters and suppress the vote." Requiring identification from people registering to vote, especially if they belong to a "minority" is considered "harassment" by McAuliffe.

This year every elected state and federal office in the state of South Dakota, except one senate seat, was voted on and South Dakota’s Democrats launched a massive voter registration drive in the State’s nine Indian reservations. However, two weeks before the election, the State Attorney General Mark Barnett said a federal probe by the FBI "uncovered the likely registration of dead people, people not old enough to vote and people who appear not to exist."

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle claimed the voter fraud investigation was "a concerted Republican effort to make allegations and launch initiatives intended to suppress Native American voting," On October 31st the Washington Times reported, - "Voter fraud has been reported this year in Arkansas, South Dakota, California, Louisiana, Nevada, Kentucky, Iowa, Arizona, Rhode Island, New York and Minnesota in federal and local elections."

State and federal officials are investigating suspected voter fraud in 25 South Dakota counties. One Democratic operative is linked to 1,750 applications for absentee ballots. Christine Iverson, spokeswoman for Republican Rep. John Thune who challenged Democrat Senator Tim Johnson quipped, "A dead woman signed up twice to vote in two different counties - very active this woman!" Attorney General Ashcroft announced Monday that he was sending "324 federal observers and 108 Justice Department personnel to 26 counties in 14 states" to monitor the general election.

Also, Ashcroft sent 70 Justice Department Civil Rights Division attorneys to monitor the election in: San Francisco, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; Broward, Duval, Miami-Dade, Orange and Osceola Counties, Florida; St. Louis, Missouri; San Juan County, New Mexico; Queens County, New York; and, Reading, Pennsylvania.

So, if voter fraud is kept under control, at this point I’m predicting that not only will the Republicans keep the House of Representatives but also will pick up a couple of Senate seats. That will enable George W. Bush to get his judges approved and his policies supported in the Senate.

<font color=blue>"Democratic Voter Fraud Still Alive and Well"<font color=black>

chronwatch.com

Posted by the ChronWatch Founder, Jim Sparkman
Monday, December 09, 2002

Lest we forget, there is still a lot of voter fraud going on out there, and most of it seems to be traceable to the Democrats. This article by Newsmax.com tells of the recent South Dakota experience, and asks why the GOP doesn't do something about it.

The party of vote fraud is at it again: Democrats perpetrated ''serious irregularities'' in South Dakota's scandal-plagued U.S. Senate election last month, United Press International revealed today.

Republican poll watchers and workers witnessed sleaze aplenty:

Three people being offered money for voting for incumbent Democrat Sen. Tim Johnson, who supposedly eked out a 528-vote victory.

Voters giving two or three names to election personnel before finding a name that matched on the voter rolls, which they would use to cast their ballot.

Democrat operatives organizing voter rides from inside the polling place.

Johnson's campaign manager, Steve Hildebrand, denied wrongdoing and claimed the campaign was conducted honestly.

South Dakota's incoming secretary of state, Chris Nelson, a Republican, said he wasn't aware of any investigation into illegalities.

''If somebody's got evidence of such they need to file a complaint with law enforcement,'' he said after UPI outlined the allegations.

After Thune refused to seek a recount, conservatives criticized the decision because voters had been deprived of their franchise. ''Some Republicans say privately they believe Thune did not pursue the matter because he feared the political ramifications would prevent him from challenging Tom Daschle in 2004 should the Democrats' Senate leader seek re-election,'' UPI reported.

$10 a vote

Key to Johnson's alleged victory was Democrat fraud on Indian reservations. Chicago and other major cities aren't the only places where Democrat criminals ''register'' dead people to ''vote.''

Todd County, home to Rosebud Indian Reservation, was a center of vote fraud.

''You know what the going rate was around here? Ten bucks,'' said Ed Assman, a retired state highway patrol lieutenant, who served as a Republican poll watcher at the Parmalee Precinct in Todd County. ''There were several affidavits signed by Natives who either took money or were offered the money.''

UPI obtained copies of affidavits taken by the Republicans from two women and one man, all American Indians, who said: ''I was promised $10 if I would go vote. I was given a ride to the polls in a van with Tim Johnson for Senate signs in the window. The name of the van driver was Terry. After I voted, the van took me back from the polling place. When Terry dropped me off, he offered me $10 for voting.''

Assman said he saw cash exchanging hands between a Democrat poll watcher and the driver of a van used to transport Johnson's supporters to the polls.

''Right in front of me at one point,'' he said. ''I had another gentleman there with me, and he called it to their attention, that it was inappropriate.'' I said to [a Democrat poll watcher], ''Boy you're spending a lot of money today,'' in reference to the vans. There must've been 50 vans on the reservation. He said money was not an object, that they had unlimited funds.''

UPI outlined the allegation to Hildebrand, manager of Johnson's campaign, who said: ''I want the name of the van driver alleged to have paid people to vote. And I won't respond to the charge until I see an affidavit from him saying he did it. Three people claiming to have been paid isn't good enough for me to comment.''

Republicans also reported at least 30 incidents where a name given by a potential voter could not be located on the voter registration list. The poll watchers say these people were then asked if they might be registered under another name. A search for a second or third name would take place until a match allowing the person to vote could be found.

Similar incidents of voter fraud have been reported in Shannon County, home of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and many sources say it was ''much worse'' there, UPI noted.

The issue now: Will gutless Republicans whimper quietly, as usual, or finally do something about Democrat election thieves?

<font color=blue>Feds Probe Voter Fraud in South Dakota <font color=black>

foxnews.com

WASHINGTON — Federal officials confirm that a vote fraud investigation is unfolding on Indian reservations in South Dakota, home of one of the tightest U.S. Senate races in the nation.



Federal officials in Washington told Fox News that so far, the alleged fraud is said to have occurred on the Cheyenne River Reservation and the Pine River Reservation, and an investigation has been ongoing in six counties, including Dewey, Ziebach and Fall River.

According to officials, the FBI has uncovered the registration of minors, dead people, and people who do not exist. Many of the registrations have included bogus names and invalid addresses.

Investigators said in one case a woman was registered to vote a week after her death.

They have also found multiple absentee ballots distributed to the same registered voter but returned with different signatures, the officials said.

The case was brought to the attention of the South Dakota attorney general's office when county auditors began discovering problems with absentee ballot requests and votes. State Attorney General Mark Barnett said the investigation has been ongoing for two weeks.

Barnett said that he hoped invalid absentee ballots haven't been filed. Absentee voting began Sept. 24 and the registration deadline is Oct. 21.

"I don't even want to think about it," Barnett said. "A lot of absentee ballots are going to get looked at."

Federal sources said the key suspect in the investigation is a former staffer of the state Democratic Party, whom is alleged to have falsified voter forms. The party itself has not been implicated. Officials said that because of the size of the alleged fraud, they expect to find accomplices.

Bret Healy, executive director of the state Democratic Party, said the worker was fired as soon as the party learned of the allegations. Healy said party officials notified the U.S. attorney.

South Dakota does not require a photo ID to register to vote and absentee ballots can be obtained without appearing personally.

Last week, Attorney General John Ashcroft attended a symposium in Washington, D.C., to promote legal voting this year. The national Democratic Party also said that it would monitor elections this year to make sure that those who want to vote are given access to the polls.

On Thursday night, the House gave final approval to an election reform bill that provides $3.8 billion to states to update equipment. The Senate voted 92-2 for the reforms on Wednesday. President Bush has said he would sign the legislation.

Republicans had insisted that measures also be included to deter fraud, including a provision that those who register by mail bring some form of identification to their polling places.

That earned scorn from some lawmakers who said that the provision would erect barriers to voting.

The South Dakota U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democrat Tim Johnson and Republican Rep. John Thune is one of the hottest in the country.

The race is among the eight tightest in the country which are likely to determine which party controls the Senate majority next year. The latest polls indicate Thune is ahead 48-43.

Thune has said he wouldn't rule out a trip to court if there's evidence of widespread voter registration fraud and he loses by a close margin.

"This race is close and both sides have to be prepared in a race this close. The Republican Party, hopefully, has taken steps to deal with issues in that respect," Thune told the Sioux Falls Argus Leader newspaper.

Campaign spokeswoman Christine Iverson said Tuesday that the Thune camp has "no plans to contest this election, and we certainly hope it doesn't come to that."

Because South Dakota is home state to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and because President Bush recruited Thune to run, this contest is seen as a proxy fight between Daschle and Bush.

Fox News' Carl Cameron and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

<font color=blue>Preemptive strike on voter fraud <font color=black>

enterstageright.com

By Bruce Walker
web posted October 28, 2002

Federal law enforcement is investigating and exposing voter fraud in South Dakota, Arkansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota before the November elections. Federal poll monitors will be in Florida before the Democrats have another opportunity to orchestrate an election "snafu." Democrats are about to learn the hard way that President George W. Bush - whose own election was almost stolen in Florida - is smart, strong and brave.

Early in President Bush's administration, he tried to be friendly and cooperative with Democrats. The response? The rapidly evaporating leftist media still has political webpages rehashing the Florida 2000 vote, and Democrats ominously tried to raise the issue of election fraud in the Democrat primary for governor. Janet Reno, the oddest Attorney General America has ever had, expresses amazement that the Department of Justice will have monitors at the polling booths in Florida. Why the surprise, if Democrats really care about clean elections?

Democrats want clean elections about as much as Dracula wants a sack of garlic. They have depended upon voter fraud, gerrymandering and similar unethical deeds for a long time. Boss Delay stole the 1960 election, and we now know that Daley did not just work with ward heelers, but also with organized crime.

Massive voter fraud in the 1994 California senate race and in the 1996 Louisiana senate race made Diane Feinstein and Mary Landrieu United States senators and made Tom Daschle Majority Leader. Democrat voter fraud in the 2000 election probably cost President Bush the electoral votes of Wisconsin and New Mexico. Had he won those two states, then he, not Al Gore, would have had a plurality of the electoral votes before the Florida presidential electors were chosen.

This time around, Democrat plans to register dead people, illegal immigrants and convicted felons will hurt them in November. The Department of Justice is preemptively investigating voter fraud and it is exposing fraud when it finds fraud. One effect of this is that Republicans in close senate races in South Dakota, Arkansas, Missouri and Minnesota will get a bump in support as Democrat sleaze is laid before the voters before the election. This could easily cost Democrats the Senate.

Democrats, who have bellyached since December 2000 about rigged elections, can hardly complain about the federal government trying to prevent voter fraud. So Democrats are left with very little to say about these investigations. They can either applaud them or stay quiet, but they cannot protest enforcement of the law.

Democrats will also get body slammed after November when the Bush Administration actually prosecutes voter fraud. Democrats who engage in voter fraud before or during the November elections may wind upon indicted and tried in federal court, and there is nothing that congressional Democrats can do to prevent these prosecutions. George W. Bush will be President until at least January 2005 (and probably January 2009), which is plenty of time to convict Democrats who conspire to steal votes. A closely divided Congress, even a Congress controlled by Democrats, cannot prevent these prosecutions.

Making this policy of tough prosecution of voter fraud before the election puts many Democrats in the same position as Iraqi generals: being loyal to the bad guys will cost much more than any possible benefit of voter fraud. Those convicted Democrats will be beyond the help of their party leaders, who cannot pardon them or decline to prosecute them.

This chilling effect on fraud, along with the publicly exposing fraud as it is found, may well be enough to tip to the Republicans many elections, including state government elections (the same dead people, convicted felons and illegal aliens that Democrats would have voting for federal legislators would be voting for governors and state legislators).

The long-term danger to Democrats is even greater. Those Democrat operatives who are doing the footwork in registering illegal voters are almost certainly committing these crimes with the knowledge and tacit support of much bigger fish within the Democrat Party. There is no reason to believe that corruption in the Party of Clinton does not begin at the top.

The little fish that are convicted will face prison terms and as a result, some of these will squeal. This will expose important Democrat leaders to charges of conspiracy. How many known Democrat leaders might be indicted as a result of this evidence? How many convicted? Who knows? If it reaches sitting senators or congressmen, if it reaches leaders in the Democrat National Committee, then the Democrats could face a "Watergate Disaster" in the 2004 elections, with Republicans winning the presidential election by a landslide and making major gains in other federal and state elections.

Can Democrats complain that these trials are political? Kay Bailey Hutchison, the Texas Republican senator who faced criminal charges (later dismissed with prejudice) by Democrat prosecutors before her reelection campaign, may respond for the Republican Party to such charges. The real destruction of this Democrat argument, however, will be the actual conviction of Democrat big fish.

President Bush seems to have a sixth sense about when to preemptively strike his enemies. Real, broad and conspicuous investigation of voter fraud is an excellent example of President Bush outfoxing Democrats. Too bad for them. When President Bush took office, he offered an olive branch and Democrats working with him could have done much real good to help America, just as many Texas Democrats worked with Governor Bush to do good. Instead Daschle and his pals thought that they could intimidate or trick him. Not a chance. Now Democrats are going to learn the price of loving power more than principle.

Politics/Elections Extended News Announcement Keywords: VOTER FRAUD ELECTION 2000!
Source: Citizens for a Fair Vote Count team
Published: August 17, 2000 Author: Jim Condit Jr.,
Posted on 06/04/2001 16:59:21 PDT by dvan
"In Madison, Wisconsin, we had homeless shelters with 20 beds where 200 people voted," said a top member of the leadership, who asked to remain unnamed for this report. "In Wisconsin, you can just show up at the polls on election day and vote without being registered by saying that you have just moved into the precinct.

In some predominantly Democratic precincts in Texas, we had 125 percent of registered voters cast ballots."

The voter-fraud task force will also examine allegations that the Department of Defense shut down mail call for U.S. military vessels on overseas deployment two weeks before the election, to prevent absentee ballots from being delivered to U.S. Navy personnel or returned by them to their home districts.

Sam Wright, a retired U.S. Navy captain and lawyer who advocates a major overhaul of the military voting system, believes that 200,000 members of the military and their family get systematically disenfranchised. "That's based on the survey that DoD does after every presidential election," said Wright. "I am now coming to believe that the 200,000 figure is a gross understatement. The DoD survey only shows what military members know.

In Baltimore, Chicago and Los Angeles, allegations are surfacing of roving bands of voters who were taken in buses from precinct to precinct to vote in place of registered voters who had moved away or who had never voted before. A major Democrat supporter spent $200,000 for people to go to homeless shelters and haunts and it is on videotape them paying people with cigarettes to get in the car and go vote for Gore. Paying for votes is illegal.

At Wisconsin student precinct, also on videotape are students taking multiple ballots from a chaotic poll and bringing them back later to put in ballot box. A poll of 1,000 students at Marquette University found 174 students who said they voted more than once, 95 voted both by absentee ballots from their home state and also in Wisconsin. Forty-one said they voted twice in Wisconsin, 25 said they voted three times in Wisconsin and 13 said they voted four or more times in Wisconsin.

Democrats obtained absentee ballots for people in mental institutions and had them vote for their candidates.

The Pensacola News Journal reports an absentee ballot diversion scheme in Florida, uncovered by the son of a federal judge. Two ballots -- thought to have been lost -- turned up to be counted, but the signatures were forged ("Pensacola ballot prompts fraud investigation: Elections supervisor discovers forged ballot," by Scott Streater, Nov. 9).

About 200 known cases of people voting both in Florida and New York.

About 500 known cases of felons voting in Florida in a couple counties, with statewide projections around 5000.

In Oregon, where all the ballots were mailed in, a survey indicates that 36,000 of the 1,500,000 ballots were signed by someone other than the registered voter. In this state's Presidential race Gore "won" by about 6,000 votes.

The motor voter rules (known officially as the National Voter Registration Act of 1993) went into effect in January 1995, and required states to allow anyone applying for a drivers license to register to vote at the same time. The problem, admitted board of election officials in several Maryland counties, is that no proof of citizenship is required, thus inviting non-citizens to vote by fraud. About the only way the county or state board of election discovers that a non-citizen has made the voter rolls is when they are called for jury duty. Montgomery County Jury Commissioner Nancy Galvin said her office sends out 10,000 to 12,000 questionnaires every other month to prospective jurors, asking whether they are U.S. citizens. Non-citizens are not allowed to sit on juries.

"We've had many of them returned asking to be excused from jury duty because they are not U.S. citizens," she said. However, she said her office "keeps no records" of these replies, and takes no further action.

In Prince George's County, a heavily Democratic county bordering Washington, D.C., election board official Harold Reston said the board reviews each case individually that is sent over by the jury commissioner. U.S. Rep. Bob Stump, R-Ariz., has twice introduced a bill to repeal motor voter in the U.S. Congress, only to have it vetoed by President Clinton.

He recently vowed to reintroduce the legislation in the 107th Congress next year. "In 1996, 11 percent of the people voting in Maryland were non-citizens," believes Maryland Republican activist and statistician Henry C. Marshall who has done a comprehensive analysis of new registrations. Out of the 1,793,991 votes officially cast, that amounted to 197,339 illegal votes. While it's virtually impossible to verify such figures, they suggest the potential scope of the problem nationwide, especially in states with close elections.

Item: WND reports that legal aliens (nonresidents) living in California and Washington received letters and voting documents urging them to vote -- mailed by the Democratic Party and signed by President Bill Clinton ( "Voter fraud, again!" by Joseph Farah, Nov. 6). Reports of same voter cards going to noncitizens in Florida also, where an estimated 5,000 noncitizen Haitians in Dade County voted for Gore. Edward Nelson, president of U.S. Border Control, believes that the national average for non-citizen voting is about 2-4 percent.

In the U.S. if you have dual citizenship in another country you cannot vote here if you have voted in the other country. There are many people with dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship and with dual Mexico-U.S. citizenship and it is unknown how many of these voted in the election of Prime Minister Barak a couple years ago or in the election between current Presidente Fox or the PRI party candidate in the recent Mexican election and then also voted here this year.

Missouri Carnahan versus Ashcroft Missouri judge ordered St. Louis Democrat precincts polls to remain open for 3 1/2 hours after rest of state's polls closed. They didn't even close after another judge overruled and told them to close. In these precincts the voter turnout was 90% and provided the margin that took the Senate seat from the incumbent Senator and gave it to a dead man. This act also change the popular vote margin in the Presidential race.

Palm Beach County elections website (www.pbcelections.org). a Bush supporter discovered 143 precincts in this county where Al Gore received more than 100% of the registered Democrat votes. In those same districts, Bush received an average of around 60% of the registered Republican votes.

How can this be possible? A statistical analysis by Robert Cook, PE, a nuclear engineer with an MS in statistical quality control, purports to show that it wasn't stupid people in Palm Beach County that were responsible for the large number of double-punched ballots. Rather, he says, "Statistical evidence establishes beyond reasonable doubt that 19,120 presidential race ballots were destroyed by deliberate double-punching ballots in Palm Beach County, FL with a 'second punch' for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan." If you line up a stack of ballots and run a steel probe through the Gore holes, then the Gore votes remain Gore votes, the no votes become Gore votes, and all other votes are invalidated due to double punching.

Cook's analysis "uses simplified but wide-ranging statistical comparisons to establish beyond doubt that Democratic operatives 'stole' by double-punching ballots approximately 15,000 Bush votes in Palm Beach County; and approximately 3,400 additional Buchanan votes."

News item: Irving Slosberg of Palm Beach pulled a Votomatic mechanism from his car and handed it over to police.

The midnight coup In the 1994 Maryland governors race, the usual scenario took place. Democratic precincts in Baltimore City held results until late, and then the Republican Ellen Sauerbrey ended up losing to Democrat Glendening by 5,993 votes, the closest race in Maryland in 70 years. To this day, Sauerbrey and her running mate, former Howard County police chief Paul Rappaport, believe the election was stolen by Democratic party operatives who stuffed ballot boxes and altered voting machines after the polls were closed. Drake Ferguson, a private investigator who headed a volunteer group that helped document Sauerbrey's allegations of voter fraud, found that 75 percent of Baltimore City's 408 precincts had "severe flaws" in election-day records, including election cards that were either unsigned or had names different from the printed name on them.

The group also claimed that 5,832 more votes were tallied in Baltimore City than there were voters who checked in at precincts or cast absentee ballots.

They found that keys to voting machines had been duplicated, and that some people had voted more than once.

They traced the addresses listed by scores of Baltimore City voters to boarded-up houses and to vacant lots.

To rig voting machines in New York and Louisiana you only need pliers, a screwdriver, a cigarette lighter and a Q-tip. Details available.

Long time Democrat and Pollster Pat Caddell said on MSNBC: "But I have to tell you, at this point it's hard not to believe that my party, which is the party I've belonged to since my great, great grandfather in my family, has become no longer a party of great principle -- but has been hijacked by a confederacy of gangsters who need to take power by whatever means and whatever canard they can say."

A Bush supporter in Michigan reports Bush was leading right to the end by 8% and then same old story, Democratic precincts reporting late, took Bush down to defeat and also defeated Senator Abrahams.

In Washington State Senate race, Republican leading by 11,000 until the hold out Democratic district finally reports in, then he loses by less than 2,000 votes

Because voter rolls aren't purged of people who die or move, there is opportunity for fraud by people who vote in the names of those who have gone.

In some states over 20% of the voters no longer live there. In Alaska there are 38,209 more people on the voter rolls than there are people of voting age living in the state.

Jim and Kenneth Colliers wrote "Votescam", the 1992 book detailing the rampant voting fraud that regularly took place in South Florida. When they found preprinted voter ballots in a warehouse rented by a Miami political candidate, Miami's chief law enforcement officer, state attorney Janet Reno arrested these journalists and rather than trying to find out why the candidate had these ballots.

There is a video tape from the 1980's showing members of the League of Women Voters in Palm Beach sitting around punching chads out of punchcard ballots.

In a recent article in the weekly newspaper, The Wanderer, Paul Likoudis wrote an important article about the challenge being made to Minority Whip Richard Gephardt by conservative author and businessman, Bill Federer in this year of 2000 in St. Louis, Missouri.

(The Wanderer is an important independent source for political news not carried in the controlled press. America’s oldest Catholic newspaper, founded circa 1867 by the Matt family, which still runs the paper – the Wanderer can be found on the internet at www.thewandererpress.com)

[edit] Dick Gephardt, the former Democratic Speaker of the House, and the current Minority Whip, ...no longer lives in Missouri, but lives in a plush estate near Washington D.C.. ... His Missouri residence? A vacant apartment that his mother lived in until about a year ago, when she was moved into a nursing home.

[edit] Gephardt makes no secret of the fact that he expects to become the Speaker of the House again if the Democrats win the majority of seats in the House of Representatives in the upcoming 2000 elections. With this backdrop, let’s stand aside and let Likoudis tell the story as found in the July 20, 2000 edition of the Wanderer newspaper:

"But this year, there is a very big if for Gephardt, who’s facing a serious challenge by St. Louis Catholic (and Wanderer Reader) Bill Federer, a businessman in his family’s three generation old real estate firm and a nationally known historian, author, publisher, and speaker. "Recent polls show that if the election were held today, Gephardt would pull 30% of the vote in this district, one of the most conservative in the country. Federer would pull 40%, and of the 30% “undecided” nearly 50% are leaning toward Federer.

"Two years ago, Gephardt almost lost to Federer, in the fourth most expensive Congressional race in the country in which he outspent Federer 16 to 1 and ran a campaign based on “the politics of personal destruction.”

Gephardt’s push polls asked voters if they’d vote for Federer if he were “wanted by U.S. marshalls”, and his television ads depicted the historian and author of the best selling (150,000 copies) ‘America’s God & Country Encyclopedia of Quotations’ as “too extreme for Missouri. . . .

"Gephardt’s 1998 “victory” over Federer was also allegedly rife with the type of voting irregularities common to banana republics. "On election morning 1998,” Federer told The Wanderer in an interview, “the phones at my headquarters started ringing and people were telling me my name was not on the ballot in five wards in the city of St. Louis. When I complained to the county clerk, Gephardt’s people responded by asking that polling stations around the district be closed. We had to get attorneys to keep the polls open.

"At noon, by the time returns started coming in, I was ahead of Gephardt 52% to 48%, but then, the computers went down in the city of St. Louis, and the electricity went off in the Jefferson County clerk’s office. This was the third time the electricity went off at that county clerk’s office in a close election,” he said.

"The first time was when Gary Gill ran against Gephardt; the second time was when gambling casinos were on the ballot --- and gambling won. When I was running against Gephardt, a Republican watcher in the clerk’s office was prohibited from looking at the computer screens, and when the computers were later rebooted, every Republican running had lost.” . . .

"Gephardt returned to Washington with 55.8% of the vote, the lowest in his career, in time to lead Bill Clinton’s fight to remain in the White House." (End of quotes from the 7-20-2000 Wanderer article by Paul Likoudis.)

NOW GET THIS!

You have to admit, this one incident is a pretty good story, almost so good that it would be unbelievable if it hadn’t been witnessed by thousands of people. So good that you’d be sure I was making it up if it hadn’t been witnessed by thousands of people. Right?

Another factor is now in the picture, to be covered in an upcoming e-wire. The research of Dan Gutenkauf of Arizona is now providing the legal basis for candidates and citizens to demand transparent vote counts, and prevent kind of “under the rock” tabulations that have saved Gephardt in recent elections.

It is the intentions of the Citizens for a Fair Vote Count team – now extending from sea to shining sea -- ... IF Mr. Bill Federer will start to demand, based on the law, that the St. Louis Board of Elections conduct an honest, transparent vote count, this writer feels certain that Mr. Gephardt will be GONE on November 7, 2000. OR, at the very least, millions will MORE than suspect that our “leaders” are being “chosen” by COMPUTERIZED VOTE FRAUD, NOT BY THE PEOPLE.

Please pray that the Federers will make this an issue for the last two months of the campaign in St. Louis. It could be a breakthrough for America in more ways than one.. effortless manipulation on the part of the writers of the computer program which will secretly instruct the St. Louis computers what to do on the upcoming election night.

Q. Is the system in use in St. Louis transparent to the voters?

A. Of course not. And neither is any other computer system, machine system, internet system, or mail in system. The candidates and voters are making an “act of blind faith” if the believe the published computer count. A. Those election officials, if they try to persist in conducting unverifiable, non-transparent elections once the proper laws are passed, should be given a fair trial and convicted, and should lose their citizenship and spend at least 10 years in jail. And some people I know would say that they should be hung for treason. Election manipulation is seriously stuff. Foisting traitors and accomplices to high crimes and misdemeanors -- like Dick Gephardt -- back on the American people -- by means of computer breakdown – must be punished to the fullest extent allowable by law.

Q. How bad is the system in use in St. Louis?

A. As bad as it gets. It comparable to the system in use in Cincinnati and hundreds, maybe thousands, of other venues. It’s a system not transparent to the public. It’s a system that is unverifiable. It’s a system that is totally devoid of citizen checks and balances on election day. Any Board of Elections director who wants to use such a system is a crook or is working for a crook.

Now you know how the Dick Gephardts, the Barbara Boxers, and the Arlen Spectors get elected over and over again. It just doesn’t get any more BLATANT than this!
