 NAACP Voter Fraud
According to a two week sampling of voter registrations in Galveston County, Texas, 47% of all NAACP voter registrations are definably suspicious, if not fraudulent.
Widowed senior, Barbara Gibson, received a such a voter registration almost to the week of the 10 year anniversary of her husband Mike’s death in Harris County a few weeks ago, and more are showing up across Texas. The Tax Assessor for Galveston County, Cheryl Johnson, says her office has already been coordinating with the Elections Division of the Texas Secretary of State’s office on a nearly identical mailer from a renamed ACORN organization called the Voter Participation Center. Johnson said the margin of incomplete information wasn’t out of the norm, but what was unique, was so many registrations with small variations in either the name or the address of existing voters on the rolls. She states:
In the course of two weeks we received about 1300 registration applications, over 174 received from just three groups – the Voter Participation Center, the LCV Education Fund and the NAACP. Of the 174 received from these groups, roughly 10% were voters already registered but with a slight variation of their legal name or address, which could have resulted in voters being registered multiple times.
Twenty Six percent (26%) of the sampled registrations submitted by these groups were suspicious leading Johnson to believe it was a much larger attempt to effect the November elections. They tabulated the breakdown of flagged registrations by group as:
- Voter Participation Center – 28%
- LCV Ed Fund – 17%
- NAACP – 47%
 Johnson suspects it is a coordinated effort. All groups used the exact same form, with minor variations on each, all including the “yellow sticky note” that was on the voter registration for Barbara Gibson’s deceased husband. Many have also received them for their dead pets as shown at right. In 2010, the Harris County registrar, Leo Vasquez, announced similarly disturbing registration abnormalities from a group that was also found to have direct ties to George Soros and ACORN. In that case, 28% of the registrations received from a group called Houston Votes, indicated falsification of government documents, and a blatant attempt to overwhelm the proofing system by state registrars in last minute dumps of thousands of registrations. Accuracy in Media has documented a system of fraud using these methods, and former ACORN executive Anita Moncrief has testified these methods are taught by those sympathetic to Barack Obama and the Democrat party.  The Galveston County Tax Assessor team noticed glaring incongruities on a few that made the dig more. One alert for them: NONE of the sticky note directions asked the prospective voter to mark the box affirming that they are a LEGAL US citizen. AIM’s conclusion was that not only are these efforts calculated, they are also targeted to inflate fraudulent votes specific to a demographic strategy of Democrat supporting interest group. America Votes specifically targeted Texas in its 2010 Redistricting Control Project and it seems Galveston County is carrying forth a similar, well publicized strategy, for the Obama reelection by targeting single women, environmental minded Americans and African Americans. Here is an overview of each of these three groups:
- Voter Participation Center: A self-identified member of “the progressive civic engagement community,” the Voter Participation Center (VPC) is “ dedicated to increasing the participation and amplifying the voices of unmarried women … and other historically underrepresented groups in our democracy.” These groups register and turn out to vote in political elections at disproportionately low rates. In 2010 they were 53% of the voting-eligible population but only 42% of those who actually cast their ballots. VPC is committed to registering and mobilizing these people to vote in the future. According to an October 2010 VPC study, for instance, unmarried women favor Democratic candidates by a 67%-to-28% margin—in contrast to married women, who lean 52%-to-40% in favor of Republicans. In 2008, fully 66% of voters under age 30 supported Barack Obama. VPC started out as a project of the George Soros related Tides Center in 2003.
- League of Conservation Voters: The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) calls itself “the political voice of the national environmental movement and the only organization devoted full-time to shaping a pro-environment Congress and White House.” This organization works to defeat what it calls “anti-environment” candidates running for political office and elect those candidates it believes are contributing to the welfare of the environment. The LCV Board of Directors includes officials of the Beldon Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense, Friends of the Earth ( Brent Blackwelder), the Wilderness Society, and the Center for American Progress ( John D. Podesta). Podesta recently began a campaign to marginalize the Drudge Report Saul Alinsky-style for reporting possibly sinister motivations for the Obama Administration’s aims in Fast and Furious, the Arab Spring, and other scandals.
- National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: The NAACP is America’s oldest and largest civil rights group in the country, begun by Republicans but quickly infiltrated by less traditionally patriotic concerns. Eighty Six percent of African Americans identify themselves as Democrats. In 2012 the NAACP spoke out strongly against legal initiatives such as voter ID laws that more than a dozen U.S. states had passed. Characterizing these laws as “voter suppression tactics” designed to disenfranchise “the political participation of people of color, the poor, the elderly, and the young,” the organization asked the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) to “investigate and condemn” the laws. According to an NAACP report, those states which had passed the measures were those with fast-growing black and Latino populations.
What is stunning about the recent NAACP report issued last year, is that it DIRECTLY identifies these three interest groups that Galveston County has flagged as suspicious. The NAACP report says (emphasis mine):
“It is no mistake that the groups who are behind this are simultaneously attacking very basic women’s rights, environmental protections, labor rights, and educational access for working people and minorities.”
Concerning outside groups registrations efforts, Cheryl Johnson says,
I have no problem with people trying to help me clean up my voter rolls. I do have a problem when my voters come into my office asking why someone is trying to steal their identity. Several of my voters – very educated as they are – are very upset by these mail outs.
And while the attempt to possibly corrupt this election is important, Johnson also suspects that they have a much larger goal. To remove any prohibition for wide scale fraud and to compile private information of Texans for even worse uses of identity theft. The group, Voting for America has sued Cheryl Johnson and the Texas Secretary of State over the entire existing system of voter registration. The suit attempts to:
- Allow groups to “copy” voter registration records;
- Remove the requirement for Texas to certify “registrars” and allow anyone the ability to distribute voter registrations;
- Allow groups to completely fill in registrations (including Social Security Numbers and Texas Driver License numbers) and be mailed to prospective voters;
- Remove “excessive fines and threats of prosecution” for community organizers.
Two of the SAME groups suing her have also sent her letter asking her to meet so that they could understand how Cheryl Johnson does her job so they could be more effective in their registrations in the future. Johnson sees that as a sign they aren’t in it just for this election. Who is Voting for America? According to Wikipedia:
Project Vote (or Voting for America, Inc.) [1] is a national nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that works with marginalized and under-represented voters. Between 1994 and 2008, [6] Project Vote often coordinated voter registration campaigns with local chapters of ACORN. [7] [8] [9]
Discover the Networks also shows that it is collaborating partner with the NAACP and the Voter Participation Center. Project Vote was the same organization that Barack Obama used in Illinois to register 150,000 people to vote, and is the same organization involved in multiple incidents of voter registration fraud including receiving an official rebuke from the State of Virginia. A Project Vote representative said in Federal court that they couldn’t come to Texas “because their laws were to strict.” Could that have something to do with the “fines and penalties” they want to remove so they continue the actions that have restrained them?
Former Project Vote employee Robert Marquise Blakely told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he had not met with any of the people whose voter registration applications he signed, “an apparent violation of state law,” according to the paper.
Tax Assessor Johnson is happy to keep them out of Texas, if their intent is to steal identities and the voting power of Texans. Johnson makes no apologies for protecting her voters.
On those registrations they want to copy are social security numbers, Texas Drivers License information and more. I’m fine if we want to change the application or put some type of notice for the voter to allow their information to be used, but I’m going to protect my voters information first and foremost.
She is already battling with how to ensure that temporary clerks, hired to deal with as many as 500 registrations per day at the peak of the election, are people who can handle the confidential information they process. Galveston County goes to great pains to attempt to recruit retired law enforcement and others but see the struggle as a continuing one until the issue of Voter ID is settled. Eric Holder and the Department of Justice have sued to stop implementation of the Texas Voter ID law passed last year. Texas already requires a flag on the voter rolls for voters to show some form of ID, even if only a utility bill, for suspicious voter registrations which don’t match with existing state information. Johnson says this is part of the reason she is being sued, under the pretense of “voter suppression” toward minorities. Ironically, when Cheryl Johnson was considering abandoning these voter identification notations because of cost, it was her Democrat, African American, Senior Voter Registration Specialist who advised her to keep it to maintain the integrity of the vote. Johnson recalls her saying,
If even one person comes to the polls and votes that shouldn’t, we can’t be responsible for that. I’d rather inconvenience people than get the vote wrong.
Barbara’s solution is for Congress simply to change the existing National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) to allow Voter ID for all states which a number of states already enjoy. It may be telling that Eric Holder was the keynote speaker at last week’s NAACP convention and that his Department of Justice has chosen to attack only those states that are currently implementing new regulations like Texas and South Carolina, and not overturn existing law which would have no impact on the upcoming elections.
Former Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Abrams resigned over attempts such as these and is now himself trying to do what the DOJ should be doing.  Barbara Gibson on the other hand, is still waiting for a reply from the NAACP. As disclosed in an earlier PolitiJim article, it seems that the confidential information on her deceased husband’s registration was obtained through Verizon phone records or even a personal investigation. In her letter asking for information she writes: Understandably, this caused me great anguish and concern. I request to be advised as to where you got his name, address and phone number. The question still exists for Barbara and those highly suspicious registrations in Galveston County, “How they are getting this information?” On some of the Galveston County forms found in error, it asked “if you have moved from (a specific address), please let us know what your correct address is.” Only the new address the group claims they don’t have – was correctly printed on the inside form, with a slight variation of the persons name or address. Johnson’s office contacted the US Post Office who assured her they don’t sell that information. The Tax Assessor concludes that at the very least there is some serious research going on to find the information. Although not in her jurisdiction, she was intrigued and frightened by Barbara Gibson’s experience.
We would have registered Michael not knowing he was deceased. How would we? There is no database our state uses for people who were taken off the roles due to death.
Johnson explained that they do diligently process probate, county clerk and medical examiner records to take EXISTING voters off. She’s also concerned about not having a record of people registered in other states. And she considers it scary that the Texas state database also would consider Cheryl Johnson and C. Johnson with identical birthdates and addresses TWO SEPARATE people. Johnson speculates on whether a national voter ID would help these problems. However, we just learned from the ten month official Maricopa County law enforcement investigation that there are untold Hawaiians’ who legitimately could have received Hawaiian birth certificates without being US citizens since 1955 leaving still more holes in already shaky voter system. Another pundit contacted deadpanned, “Not that we should be worried about any serious use of such governmental documents for vote fraud or, God forbid, faked qualifications for things like government office.” |
