Project Veritas Fills Ballot Security Void -- Democrats Line-up to Shoot Messenger
Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe and his colleagues at Project Veritas have done it again. This time their bombshell video shows election workers in New Hampshire giving out ballots in the names of dead voters at multiple voting precincts during the state’s recent primary election.
Of course, the response they got from New Hampshire’s Democrat Governor was an investigation of them -- not the policies that prevent election volunteers from verifying the identity of voters.
It will probably come as no surprise to anyone who has worked in a grassroots election that Democrats -- schooled in the Chicago way -- have an aversion to anything remotely resembling ballot security. Vote early and often is their mantra, and in the name of the politically correct goals of protecting poor people and others who they assume are too inept to obtain a government I.D. (or too dumb to remember to bring it along when they go to vote), Democrats persist in watering down or defeating laws requiring voters to produce identification when they request a ballot.
There was a time when the Republican Party had a ballot security program and put a lot of effort into purging voter lists of dead, moved and inactive voters. Those days are long gone in a Party where establishment political correctness requires pretending that your opponent won’t commit outright fraud in order to win by dead people voting and others who are not eligible to cast a ballot.
Conservatives in the New Hampshire legislature were close to reversing that trend in their state until Democratic Governor John Lynch vetoed a voter I.D. bill passed by the Republican legislature. Lynch claimed that there was no evidence that vote fraud could or was being perpetrated in New Hampshire, but O’Keefe and his intrepid band of investigators have proven that to be false.
Naturally, anytime you show establishment failure someone has to pay – so expect New Hampshire’s Democrat Governor and Attorney General to come after James O’Keefe and Project Veritas rather than switch gears to support the Republican voter I.D. law. James O’Keefe and his colleagues at Project Veritas are filling an important void in the ballot security process by showing that where voter I.D. requirements are lax, dead people can indeed vote. Conservatives should be ready to defend O’Keefe against the inevitable liberal backlash and the legal harassment that is sure to come with it.
Don't condone criminal acts
No matter what his end purpose, O'Keefe was caught in a criminal act. He was trying to illegally vote in someone else's name. O'Keefe deserves to bear the full extent of penalties under the law OR are we starting to say that any means is justified by the ends?
Yeah
like in South Carolina where something like 900 votes have already been found belonging to the dead.
How about the fact that it has already been proven that these voting machines are not even remotely trust worthy and easily tampered with. How about like in the Bush election when 10s of thousands of Black votes were not counted, same goes for huge chunks of military votes not counted.
Election fraud is rampant and widespread same as the corruption of the GOP leadership. If we do not go back to paper ballots this country is over because every election that matters WILL be stolen.
Voter IDs
I have to show photo ID simply to deposit a check at my bank so I have no problem with the voter ID concept. I have been an election board worker for the past four years, and it's surprising the number of people who try to show ID and then see their reaction when told they don't have to. I believe, though, that if photo IDs are required, the states must make available a process to get (free?) photo IDs. A number of seniors do no have photo IDs as well as a number of students. As unpopular as it may sound, states that require voter ID should put a mechanism in place so that people can get them easily (and, yes, they should have to show proof of true identity to get a photo ID). The other concern is computerized voting. We do need a reliable double check on computer voting because hacking could completely disrupt the electoral process.
Justice Department doesn't agree!
Eric Holder doesn't feel it's fair to require voter id even if a mechanism is in place to provide it free to those who otherwise do not have one. Maybe the new "get out the vote" rally will be which of the two parties can identify the most dead people to vote fore in a state.
"Justice Department" ..... What a laugh!
voter fraud
If so called "disenfranchised minorities" are expected to show ID to vote, what is the problem? They have to show ID to collect welfare, food stamps, and other items on the "entitlement" agenda. Showing that you are who you say you are and are eligible to vote in your district is no more than common sense when the result is putting in office the most powerful person of the country and within nations. There should be, absolutely, no doubt about verity in the election.
It is NOTnew!
The current Democrat Governor is not the first to be presented with legislation to require voter ID. The last Democrat Governor was also presented with similar legislation. She vetoed it and later became a U.S. Senator. The Attorney General Office and the Secretary of State have been provided with real evidence of voter fraud multiple times over the past 15 plus years. Thanks to James O'Keefe and Project Veritas they can't ignore it as easily. We are long overdue the cleansing of the corruption of government involving the good old boys and political payoffs at the expense of the citizens. In a way once could compare illegal voting to illegal immigrations.
Vote fraud pervades both parties
Not only Democrats use this tactic. There are legitimate concerns about what exactly happened to eight counties in Iowa, where support was strong for Ron Paul.
Moving the vote counting, which had traditionally been done in public vew at party headquarters, to an "undisclosed location" stunk to high heaven.
Don't put it past GOP operatives, aided by a media spin machine which looks the other way, to ensure their pre-picked winner by nefarious means.
You're kidding, right?
"GOP operatives, aided by a media spin machine..." messed up the count in 8 precincts (not counties) out of 1,774 in order to help ensure the victory of their annointed, pre-ordained, establishment candidate . . . Rick Santorum??? Sorry, Ron Paul supporter, but this is one conspiracy that doesn't seem to rise to the dignity of error, much less theory.
