Voter Fraud is almost non-existent. For statistical purposes, it doesn't exist. You do not like to discuss the actual numbers. This idiocy makes you look and sound like a real lunatic, so I'm just going to let you run with this one as much as you wish......................right after you discuss the jobs report, and unemployment, and the HUGE downward revising of the numbers from last month. We will be discussing that first, right? It was all UNEXPECTED..................AGAIN..............right troll? What is the stock market saying about your muslim, job killing, food-stamp president today?

Pew study: 1 in 8 voter records flawed WASHINGTON – More than 24 million voter-registration records in the United States— about one in eight — are inaccurate, out-of-date or duplicates. Nearly 2.8 million people are registered in two or more states, and perhaps 1.8 million registered voters are dead. Those estimates, from a report published today by the non-partisan Pew Center on the States, portray a largely paper-based system that is outmoded, expensive and error-prone... usatoday.com MILLIONS of Dead Voters, Brought to You By Eric Holder February 14, 2012 - 6:40 pm - by J. Christian Adams Over a year ago, I first warned that the Obama administration adopted a policy of refusing to enforce federal laws which require states to purge dead and ineligible voters from the rolls. I discuss at length the details of this policy as revealed to me when I worked at the Justice Department in my book Injustice. Today we learn that American voter rolls are infested with MILLIONS of dead and ineligible voters heading into the presidential election. Eric Holder and his Leftist political appointees at the Justice Department have gotten exactly what they wanted. The Pew Center on the States estimates nearly 2,000,000 dead voters are on the rolls, and 2,800,000 people are registered in more than one state. This is precisely the mess that the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) was designed to prevent. Last Thursday, Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, announced that it is teaming up with me and True the Vote for an election integrity project to get the voter rolls cleaned up before November. We will do what Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez refuse to do. The Justice Department refuses to enforce Section 8 of the NVRA because, as political appointee Julie Fernandes revealed in a Voting Section meeting in 2009 that I attended, removing dead people from the rolls “doesn’t increase turnout. It stops people from voting.” Seriously. In the meantime, DOJ has vigorously enforced Section 7 of NVRA, the welfare agency voter registration provision. Judicial Watch has determined through FOIA litigation that the aggressive Section 7 enforcement policy at DOJ had its genesis in the lobbying of Estelle Rogers, of ACORN fame. (Read her emails at the link.) One wonders if Rogers was registered as a lobbyist, or if she just lobbied the White House without registering. Rogers also made ACORN-blessed job recommendations for attorneys applying to the Voting Section. DOJ refuses to release the names of the lawyers Rogers pushed, and whether or not they were hired to enforce election law this fall. Instead of enforcing Section 8 and cleaning up the voter rolls, the Justice Department is shaking down states to wring out every possible welfare agency voter registrant before November... pjmedia.com

Voter Fraud is almost non-existent. For statistical purposes, it doesn't exist. So if voter fraud is higher than the handgun murder rate we don't need to discuss gun control either.

US Stocks Pacing For Year's Biggest Declines On Weak Jobs Report 06/01 02:03 PM --U.S. stocks tumble after May jobs growth is the slowest in a year --May nonfarm payrolls rise 69,000 versus expectations for a rise of 155,000 --DJIA turns negative year to date; benchmarks' declines pacing for worst this year --All 10 of the S&P 500 sectors fall; every DJIA stock lower By Chris Dieterich Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES where are you kennytroll hiding: olympia sewers ???? NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Another disappointing monthly U.S. jobs report sent stocks skidding toward their worst losses this year and wiped out all of the Dow's 2012 gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 249 points, or 2.1%, to 12139, in afternoon trading Friday. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index declined 29 points, or 2.2%, to 1281, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 71 points, or 2.5%, to 2756. After rocketing higher to start the year, stock gains quickly have unraveled. Both the Dow and S&P 500 staged their biggest first-quarter ascents in over a decade; one month ago, the Dow closed at a 4 1/2-year high. Since then, blue chips have fallen about 8.5% as global growth concerns and worries over Europe's debt crisis have roiled the markets. The Dow industrials were down 0.5% for the year in recent trading. The S&P 500 is clinging to gains of 1.9%, and the Nasdaq has risen 5.8%. "The first quarter was excellent, but this is fear, and it's returned big time," said Greg Peterson, director of investment research at Ballentine Partners. Nonfarm payrolls rose 69,000 in May, according to the Labor Department, the smallest gain in a year and well below forecasts for an increase of 155,000. March and April job gains both were revised down. Friday's report was the third in as many months to come in shy of forecasts. The unemployment rate ticked one-tenth of a percentage point higher to 8.2%, the first increase in nearly a year. "We're seeing the markets pricing in synchronized global slowdown," said Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust. All 10 of the S&P 500's sectors fell, as did all components of the Dow. Financial stocks, including Bank of America, which fell 5%, were the biggest decliners. Hewlett-Packard gave back 4.7%, while American Express fell 4.6%. In other economic news, the Institute for Supply Management's purchasing managers index for May was slightly below forecasts, while spending on construction projects rose modestly in April. Separately, American consumers spent modestly more than expected in April, while personal incomes rose more slowly than expected.

Yo, troll, after Tuesday's Wisconsin-Wipeout, maybe you should pretend to go on vacation for a week or so to scrape the egg off of your face? It will be a preview of the November wipeout. Hundreds for Clinton: Just four days out from the Wisconsin's historic gubernatorial recall election, former president Bill Clinton and Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett could only draw a small crowd to a rally Friday on Barrett's home turf. As the Associated Press notes, the crowd numbered only in the " hundreds," a sign of the enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans that has appeared in some polls. weeklystandard.com vs Several thousand in Racine for the Tea Party The Racine Tea Party organized a large rally for Governor Scott Walker who is facing a recall election on Tuesday. The tea party organization *drew 4,000 people* to Caledonia for the rally. Racine County is also where former Democratic State Senator John Lehman, a draft dodger, is taking on Republican State Senator Van Wanggaard in a recall election, a rematch of the 2010 election in that district. wigderson.com
