Ehrlich fears voter fraud By Jon Ward April 6, 2006 ANNAPOLIS -- The Ehrlich administration yesterday said it anticipates widespread voter fraud this year, as Democrats take advantage of election-related legislation passed this session. "I fully expect the governor's political opponents will take advantage of the opportunities for fraud. I expect them to try to engage in organized, large-scale voter fraud," said Paul E. Schurick, director of communications for Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., a Republican. "I think it will be everywhere, statewide," Mr. Schurick said. State Democratic Party Executive Director Derek Walker called the accusations a "scare tactic" and said Mr. Ehrlich is "petrified that the more people that vote, the less chance that [he] wins." Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., Prince George's County Democrat, said: "I've never been privy to any kind of election fraud as long as I've been in politics. No one I know condones it." But Senate Minority Leader J. Lowell Stoltzfus, Eastern Shore Republican, said fraud this fall is "very probable." House Minority Whip Anthony J. O'Donnell said he could "not see any other reason" for a slew of new voting legislation, except to enable fraud. "It's going to be very easy to cheat," said Mr. O'Donnell, Calvert County Republican. The Democrat-controlled legislature has passed a bill that will allow voters to cast ballots at 38 precincts during the week before the September primary and November general elections. Republicans say 21 of the precincts trend heavily Democratic and will boost Democratic candidates, especially Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, a Democrat running for governor. Another measure makes it easier to vote by absentee ballot and allows voters to use provisional ballots outside their county of residence. Republicans say it would allow rogue voters to go to many precincts outside their county because there is no statewide voter database. A third new law would authorize electronic voting machines throughout the state without requiring a "paper trail." Critics of the voting machines, which are made by Diebold Inc. of Canton, Ohio, say they are easily hacked and manipulated or sabotaged. "I have to say, the Democrats are just engaged in an abuse of power," said Linda Schade, executive director of True Vote Maryland, a nonpartisan group devoted to integrity in elections. "That is going to contribute to a sense of mayhem in the fall elections." Voting security specialists say early voting, combined with electronic voting machines, can pose a huge security risk. Aviel D. Rubin, technical director of Johns Hopkins University's Information Security Institute, said it is a "terrible idea" to leave the Diebold machines in voting precincts for seven consecutive nights. But Ross Goldstein, deputy administrator for the State Board of Elections, said it is "not really accurate" that the Diebold machines can be manipulated easily and that the early voting precincts will have "a level of security that voters can feel confident in." Democratic senators have said it is impossible to arrange for optical-scan voting machines this fall. But Mrs. Schade said Election Systems and Software, a company based in Omaha, Neb., said they could provide the machines this fall for $21.8 million.

Only a traitor would believe the Leninist "court filing", which is why it's no surprise that YOU at least pretend to swallow it whole...

"How about the news that the President may have authorized the leaking of classified info to the Press?" 1) If he declassifies it, it is not leaking. 2) A dishonest hater (Wilson) put out false information to discredit our country and our President while we were at war. That is truly disgusting, but your side embraces him. 3) The information you are supposudly so upset about (and are dishonestly charectarizing) was to CORRECT the damage that Wilson and his wife brought to our country and President. He showed the real evidence to debunk the FAKE propoganda that Wilson put out. Totally legit, and I'm not upset at all. And liberals (and all Americans) should be mad when prejudices are shown. To take fake muslims to a group of Americans the elite media looks down on in hopes of catching vile behaviour IS vile and prejudicial behavior. That the folks that NBC tried to set up some good Americans out enjoying themselves in an effort to them look bad really showed what the folks at NBC really think. Liberals and the elite media think they (Americans) are bad people who will treat Muslims like sh&t for no reason. Doesn't surprise me that you think this is ok. Your pretense at not even understanding the point "Doesn't that bother you more than stock car racing?" is even more telling. I like stock car racing as do 10s of millions of other Americans. And I don't hate muslims, except the terrorists.
