Battlegrounders [ archives email ] IOWA: SURROGATE CITY [Brian Kennedy 10/29 08:05 AM] Yesterday, the Quad Cities turned into surrogate city as both Senate Majority Leader Bill First and New York Governor George Pataki campaigned here on behalf of the Bush-Cheney ticket. Frist hosted a physicians’ roundtable where he met with local doctors to discuss healthcare policy. Pataki rallied with a couple hundred GOP regulars at a restaurant. It wasn’t lost on any who attended that both have ’08 aspirations and that when the polls close on Tuesday evening the campaign for the Iowa Caucuses officially starts. AIR WAR IN ARKANSAS [David J. Sanders 10/29 06:01 AM] Bush-friendly 527s are now on television in Arkansas. The Progress for America Voter Fund’s ad recounting President Bush comforting the teenager whose mother was killed in the World Trade Center, began airing Thursday evening in the Little Rock market (the "Ashley's Story" commercial). Democrat forces have bought more that $1 million of television ads in Arkansas in the past two days. MINNESOTA: VOTE-FRAUD SMOKING GUN [Scott W. Johnson 10/29 05:48 AM] Minnesota is one of the few states that allows same-day voter registration and has become infamous for its lax same-day voter registration requirements. Under Minnesota's registration law, an eligible but previously unregistered individual may register to vote in his precinct by showing proof of residence in the precinct or, in the absence of such proof, having a voter registered in the precinct vouch under oath that he personally knows that the unregistered individual is a resident of the precinct. Although the requirements necessary to establish residence are minimal, they are not non-existent and they are the statutory protection against vote fraud and serial voting. Among the well-funded and supposedly independent groups supporting John Kerry in the campaign is America Coming Together (ACT). ACT has taken notice of Minnesota's special vulnerabilty to vote fraud and organized a sophisticated effort to exploit it in a manner that violates Minnesota law. In Minnesota the Bush campaign has come into the possession of the following email from ACT to its Minnesota volunteers: Election Day is upon us. You are confirmed to volunteer with ACT (America Coming Together) on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov 2. We will be creating name badges that include your Ward and Precinct information for each of the thousands of volunteers that day to make it easier to find a volunteer to vouch for a voter at the polls. I am emailing you to request your street address, city and zipcode. We've already got your other contact information, but your record in our database does not include this information. You can save us time on election day by replying today to this email with this information, or give us a call at [phone number with St. Paul area code]. In order to get your badge correct, please reply by Thursday. Thank you for your help and cooperation. See you on Election Day! This email is a smoking gun of massive premeditated vote fraud. The ACT effort contemplates the prepositioning of registered voters as volunteers at their precincts of residence to provide the "vouching" necessary to get individuals registered to vote on election day in the precinct whether or not the volunteer "personally knows" the residence of the unregistered voter. It is a recipe for illegal voting in every precinct of the state. In addition to its offensive ground game in the state, the Bush campaign here has organized a defensive game plan to identify and prevent election-day fraud — a key component of the Kerry supporters' plan for carrying Minnesota. Organized vote fraud — we'll see it on election day!
