The Boston Globe and 2 local papers didn't give him a chance. He didn't win a single county in Massachussetts 4 days earlier. Did Cruz really win EVERY county in Maine?
The head of the Ted Cruz campaign has said Heidi is Ted's closest adviser. The FEC violations involve her current employer. No personal attacks, just a necessary professional evaluation of Heidi Cruz's role in the Cruz Crew.
As a self-described "constitutional expert" Canadian born Cruz could do us all a great service to stop illegal immigration by simply answer 4 teeny weeny questions...
Reagan was attacked by the Establishment, but people LIKED him. Cruz on the other hand is despised by mild mannered Huckabee and "sealed lips" George W. There is a reason. Here is an (almost) complete compendium of Cruz lies.
There is a lie being told that "Natural Born Citizen" is not defined anywhere in the Constitution. That's True. What's Not True is that it is NOT settled by the Supreme Court. (It has)
In honor of @pmbasse, a descendant of one of the original 300 Texas settlers, I want to tell you WHY I LOVE TEXAS. As they say, I wasn't born here but I got here as soon as I could. And for me that was 3 times.
When you see who REALLY is running Ted's campaign, you realize how "inside" this pretend outsider is. The top CIA, Goldman Sachs executives are LITERALLY running his campaign.
The most rewarding and frustrating experience on Twitter has to be the concept of Follow Friday. I have a solution. See where PolitiJim gets his news, and twinteraction from.
Today True the Vote went on the offensive against voter fraud. We will be the plaintiff in lawsuits to be filed by Judicial Watch against any state that refuses or fails to clean up its voter rolls in compliance with Section 8 of the National Voting Rights Act. We’ve sent warning letters to 7 states already and more are going out today. Here’s the press release from Judicial Watch:
2012 Election Integrity Project: Judicial Watch Announces Legal Campaign to Force Clean Up of Voter Registration Rolls
Dozen States in Potential Violation of National Voter Registration Act: Voting Rolls Have More Registered Voters than Voting-Age Population
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced the launch of its 2012 Election Integrity Project to pressure states and localities, through Judicial Watch lawsuits if necessary, to clean up voter registration rolls pursuant to Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). A Judicial Watch investigation based upon publicly available data indicates voter rolls in the following states appear to contain the names of individuals who are ineligible to vote: Mississippi, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida, Alabama, California, and Colorado. The Election Integrity Project will be conducted in partnership with True the Vote and the Election Law Center.
Judicial Watch sent its initial warning letters on February 7, 2012, to election officials in Indiana and Ohio, as well as letters of inquiry toFlorida and California officials, investigating problematic voting lists in those states. Additional letters are forthcoming.
According to Judicial Watch’s investigation, there appear to be more individuals on voter registration lists in these states than there are individuals eligible to vote, including individuals who are deceased. Judicial Watch’s initial warning letters notified election officials in Ohio and Indiana that they are required by law to “maintain accurate lists of eligible voters for use in conducting elections,” and that Judicial Watch is prepared to take legal action if election officials fail to clean up their voter rolls:
Allowing the names of ineligible voters to remain on the voting rolls harms the integrity of the electoral process and undermines voter confidence in the legitimacy of elections… As the top election officials… it is your responsibility under federal law to conduct a program that reasonably ensures that the lists of eligible voters are accurate…
We hope our concerns can be resolved amicably. However, with the November 2012 election on the horizon and in light of the importance of Section 8 of the NVRA to ensuring the integrity and legitimacy of the electoral process, we must emphasize the importance of timeliness. Accordingly, if we believe you do not intend to correct the above-identified problems, a lawsuit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief may be necessary.
As Judicial Watch makes clear in its letters, under Section 8 of the NVRA, states must make a “reasonable effort” to clean up registration rolls. Section 8 also requires states to make available for public inspection “all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters.”
Election fraud was a significant concern during the 2008 and 2010 election seasons, with ACORN/Project Vote being linked to massive voter registration fraud. A total of 70 ACORN employees in 12 states have been convicted of voter registration fraud. As documented in a July 2009 report by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, of the 1.3 million registrations Project Vote/ACORN submitted in the 2008 election cycle, more than one-third were invalid.
Judicial Watch has uncovered documents showing that, rather than taking action to enforce Section 8 of the NVRA, the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) is now working with ACORN-front Project Vote, Barack Obama’s former employer, to push for strict enforcement of Section 7 of the NVRA relating to welfare office voter registration obligations. The purpose of this campaign is evidently to use voter registration laws to register greater numbers of low-income voters, widely considered to be an important voting demographic for the Obama presidential campaign.
Policy changes prompted by stricter enforcement of Section 7 have resulted in increased incidents of voter registration errors. For example, a separate Judicial Watch investigation found that the percentage of invalid voter registration forms from Colorado public assistance agencies was four times the national average after Project Vote successfully forced the state to implement new policies for increasing the registration of public assistance recipients during the 2008 and 2010 election seasons.
Judicial Watch notes in its letters that while Attorney General Eric Holder appears intent on enforcing Section 7 of the NVRA, which will yield an increased risk of voter fraud, he apparently has no interest in enforcing Section 8 to ensure clean elections: “While you may be aware that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has prioritized enforcement of Section 7 of the NVRA, which seeks to expand opportunities to register to vote, the Attorney General has not demonstrated any similar interest in prioritizing enforcement of the list maintenance provisions of Section 8 of the NVRA. Nonetheless, Section 8 is an important counterpart to Section 7. The two provisions represent a carefully crafted compromise by the U.S. Congress to increase both voter registration and the integrity of voter rolls.”
“President Obama and the Holder Justice Department evidently have no interest in clean elections this year, so this responsibility has now fallen to Judicial Watch. And given the rampant election fraud that occurred during the last two election cycles, this is a matter of the highest priority as we head into the 2012 election season. It is simply impossible to have any faith in the integrity of an election where dead people remain on the voting rolls. This is a recipe for voter fraud and stolen elections,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
UPDATE 7-14-12 (7:21pm ET): Reports are coming in from many other places of similar abuses. Please link yours in comments.
Updates of dead pets receiving registrations at bottom of this post.
You don’t have to be a grief counselor to realize that it is important to tip toe cautiously around topics involving someone’s departed spouse. Especially around anniversaries. Unless you’re the NAACP. Then what you do is drag the deceased’s name into corrupt politics. Or criminal voter fraud.
Last month, senior citizen Barbara Gibson was bracing herself for an emotionally challenging time as a widow. It was roughly a month from the tenth anniversary of her husband Mike’s death. Although born “Gary Michael Gibson,” everyone else only knew him as “Mike,” the fun 6’ 4” country boy who gave up becoming a city manager to be a trucker. Besides reminiscences of her family and photo’s, the only other reminder was a monthly Verizon phone bill that she never bothered to change after his death. And it was an odd reminder because although his voter registration, drivers license, and all other official documents never referred to him as “Michael Gibson,” the Verizon bill was addressed to this name he never used any other time.
Barbara received her first shock when a filled out, voter registration card from the NAACP arrived in that odd name of “Michael Gibson.” Barbara has been involved in Greater Houston conservative GOP politics for some time and both she and her husband were not the traditional target market of what Rush Limbaugh called the “National Association of Liberal Colored People.” Mike himself originally was a Democrat, but was not “colored” except for the sunburned neck Barbara jokingly remembers from when they first met.
According to interviews with African American neighbors, Gibson is not only not known to be racist in anyway, she has strong connections to everyone in her community. Said neighborhood friend Craig Plopton,
My wife and I have known Barbara for a very long time. She is a sweet lady and is my daughter’s adopted Grandmother.
The invasion of the personalized handwritten “sticky” note however, looking like it was written by an individual who actually knew Mike, accelerated her confusion in multiple directions at once. Would she have to explain his passing to a friend who didn’t know? Was his identity stolen? Or worse, would she need to spend hours on the phone bringing back the torment of those weeks following his death having to announce her personal pain to complete strangers over and over again?
Barbara Gibson explained to PolitiJim that following the probate of the will, her property tax bill was automatically changed to her name and she noticed that his name no longer appeared next to hers when she went to vote. It was difficult, but provided some closure. Until now.
Mrs. Gibson rationalized it was just an errant mix-up, although highly suspicious. When she received a phone call from “Warren” at the NAACP days later, she knew it wasn’t a mistake. Their phone number had been unlisted until a year or two ago, and certainly wasn’t in any public records at the time of Mr. Gibson’s death.
“Is Michael in?” asked “Warren” from the NAACP. “I was checking to see if you got your voter registration we sent in the mail.”
Gibson was saavy enough not to say anything more than to infer that he wasn’t there at the moment. But when she asked if a return phone call was necessary, Warren replied:
“No need. We’ve sent tens of thousands of these out to people.”
“It hit me hard personally,” Barbara Gibson explained. “It was so close to the anniversary of his death, I felt like someone was dragging him into voter fraud being helpless to defend against it.”
Gibson wants answers and has written a letter to the NAACP for an explanation.
Does Gibson have cause for concern?
The NAACP began an assault on the issue of voting rights of minorities last December, even taking their cause to the United Nations. Their message was that, although they have to show their ID for everything from campaign events for Obama to any service for the government, people of color are somehow at a disadvantage when it comes to voting. Even the press at their annual meeting in Houston last weekend needed photo ID. Despite the overt racist idea that blacks somehow have a harder time of procuring a photo ID over English, Italian, Scottish or Norwegians Americans, the NAACP proceeds to make “voter suppression” the top issue of their 2012 campaign. This dovetails perfectly with Eric Holder’s Department of Justice which refuses to prosecute members of the New Black Panther party intimidating voters on video, but assault on states who have passed voter ID laws, even to the point of filing lawsuits on Florida who merely wanted to remove dead voters from their voter rolls.
Instances of in-person voter fraud are extraordinarily rare. In Ohio, for example, a statewide survey of votes cast in 2002 and 2004 found that out of more than 9,000,000 voters, there were four instances of voter fraud. In fact, there are far more reported UFO sightings than reports of impersonation at the polls…
What they didn’t say was that in 2004, the Cleveland, Ohio NAACP sent out 325 voter registrations, 48 of which were fraudulent. And just last year an NAACP executive was sent to prison on 10 counts of voter fraud.
Ironically, the NAACP was highlighted in the Houston Chronicle just this past Friday this way:
As the 103rd NAACP annual convention begins in Houston this week, leaders say the organization remains focused on its core mission of ensuring all citizens have the right to vote.
Alan Vera of True the Vote commented to PolitiJim that this problem is widespread and a common method for groups like ACORN to flood the system with false registrations and to hijack the names of existing registered voters.
Bob Cooley, author of the book on Chicago political corruption “When Corruption Was King,” says that he knows for a fact that the people around Obama used this tactic to get their nominees elected.
“I was instructed to do it myself. I had a handful of absentee ballots I’d have to drop off at locations where I was told it would be safe to do so. Even where I live now in the South, I had people at my local supermarket in SEIU T-shirts handing out voter registration forms in January, ten months before the election. It doesn’t even matter that ACORN is split up into a dozen other named outfits. Obama is going to take vote fraud to levels no one can imagine.”
In addition to the ABC News of nearly 1,000 felons voting in the Minnesota Senatorial election that Franken won by 312 votes, over 2,800 dead people also voted. Franken helped the Democrats procure 60 votes to pass the Affordable Care Act that is now estimated to cost over $200 Billion per year.
The Houston Chronicle article quotes an NAACP board member reiterating that they are a non-partisan organization but many Black Republicans think it is obvious that they are “in the tank” for Obama and any liberal Democrat. Writing on a Washington Times blog, African American Stacy Swimp noted that every member of the NAACP’s annual report card gave every Republican a score of “F.”
“The GOP is in a no-win situation with the NAACP because they’ve essentially become an extension of the Democratic Party,” said Ron Miller, associate dean and assistant professor of government at Liberty University, and author of SELLOUT: Musing from Uncle Tom's Porch.
“Even House Speaker John Boehner’s leadership in reviving the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which has strong support and proven success in D.C.’s Black community, would get him an ‘F’ because their Democratic Party benefactors, specifically the teachers’ unions and the education bureaucracy, oppose parental choice in education.”
Conservative commentators have wondered why, with the African American unemployment plummeting to 14.4%, the NAACP isn’t advocating policies that have helped minorities in years past. There were even members of the Congressional Black Caucus that began to raise their concerns as late as last year. It is a long way from the historical view of the NAACP, which was started by Republicans, and reflected their appreciation similar to African American US Rep. Joseph Rainey of South Carolina in 1875:
"We intend to continue to vote so long as the government gives us the right and necessary protection; and I know that right accorded to us now will never be withheld in the future if left to the Republican Party."
And what about the NAACP/Eric Holder charge of massive voter suppression by advent of tighter regulations on voter registration and ID voting?
Holder was greeted with great enthusiasm at the NAACP last weekend saying this:
“In our efforts to protect voting rights and to prevent voting fraud, we will be vigilant and strong. But let me be clear, let me be very, very clear: We will not allow political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens of their most precious right”
Many have noted that all voters - even African Americans for Obama - are “disenfranchised” when the integrity of an election can not be trusted.
Hans von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Civil Justice Reform Initiative Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, has studied the impact of Georgia’s tougher voter ID laws on minorities. At the True the Vote National Summit, von Sapkovsky shared that not only did minority participation increase after the implementation of voter ID, the state only experienced 26,000 “votes” without ID over six years. That calculates as 0.002 of all votes cast. And Georgia offers an free ID upon request to boot. That correlates very closely to what happened in Tennessee where 0.023 percent of voters refused to return with ID after being given a provisional ballot.
Detractors object by saying the Heritage study used bad numbers by showing minority population growth in general instead of minorities of voting age. And they complain that 2008 was an aberration because of the prospect of the first black President. To election integrity observers, this actually proves that more minorities would show up if motivated. Does the suppression of “white” voters in 2008 means that Voter ID disenfranchises them?
In the analyses viewed by PolitiJim, these critics conveniently ignored the continued increase of minority voters in 2010, and never mentioned that the ACLU couldn’t find a single person in the state who couldn’t vote. They also hesitated to mention that the University of Nebraska and Delaware found identical results. The blog Sweetness and Light parses every position of the NAACP in their LDF report showing the absurdity of the NAACP’s logic on their other positions of “suppression” as well.
And to those still think voter fraud is “rare,” this list is only a partial one of up to the minute tracking of voter fraud incidents.
Theories on the NAACP Voter Initiative
After calming down from the shock, Barbara Gibson got serious about finding out why she and her husband were targeted. First, she verified that the only use of “Michael Gibson” she had was from Verizon. She even double checked the public obituary. But it became worrisome that somehow they had obtained her phone number, and that it had been unlisted for nearly 7 years after her husband’s death. Even an extensive “People Web Search” using just the name “Michael Gibson” yielded nothing that would provide an address, much less a phone number. How did the NAACP get that address and that phone number?
It was pointed out to her that the neighborhood in which she lived, had a dramatically increasing minority population. A friend from the True the Vote noted that they found multiple registrations in variations of the same name such as George Bush, George W. Bush, G.W. Bush, etc. In Wisconsin almost half of the signed petitions to recall Scott Walker, were duplicates or illegitimate attempts to sway the recall. With the NAACP admitting they sent out “tens of thousands” of voter registration cards, and using high level telemarketing techniques to follow up on mailed ballots, Is the NAACP target marketing minority neighborhoods with intentionally fraudulent voter registrations?
Gibson heard an interview this week with Cheryl Johnson, Galveston County Tax Assessor on KSEV 700 AM, describing a nearly identical registration form with the fake handwritten yellow sticky note, but from a renamed ACORN group. Are all Obama supporting groups coordinating massive registration fraud?
Is this systemic fraud?
Just about every form of vote fraud was documented in Charlie Rangel’s recent primary victory. What shocked observers was the effort wasn’t even concealed in most instances. It was uncharacteristically brazen. Even for New York. Accuracy In Media has uncovered an entire corrupt “system” that seems to be escalating as Bob Cooley suggests. Barack Obama himself registered 150,000 voters in Illinois with Project Vote in 1992. In 2008, the Obama campaign tried to hide $800,000 to a supposedly defunct ACORN entity precisely to continue the corrupt ACORN activities. This blog has covered the documentary on the Obama campaigns documented voter and fund raising fraud against Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2008. In 2010, True the Vote uncovering massive fraudulent registrations for existing voters among many other things by a Soros founded affiliation of SEIU and ACORN. The Harris County registrar confirmed that only 7,193 of 25,640 registrations were likely new voters. The entire story is much more sinister – but shows a continued coordinated effort between the Obama campaign and special interest groups who are consistently being found guilty of blatant fraud.
For this reason True the Vote is attempting to recruit one million volunteers to ensure the integrity of elections in November, something everyone from the New Black Panther party to SEIU has already promised they would do. True the Vote representative Alan Vera has consistently stated that they need poll watchers, computer operators, telephone volunteers and that there is something to do for nearly everyone who believes that America should be the example to the world of voter integrity.
By coming forward to ask for help in determining how this happened, Barbara Gibson has become one of those 1 million.
UPDATE: 2 records of DEAD DOGS receiving Voter Registration cards. Notice how similar the fake yellow sticky note is to Barbara Gibson’s sample.
Brenda Charlston holds a photo of her long-deceased dog, Rosie, and a voter registration form for “Rosie Charlston” that arrived in the mail for the canine last month in Seattle. Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998. A left-leaning group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic voting blocs such as unmarried women, blacks, Latinos and young adults. But residents and election administrators around the country have also reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people and people already registered to vote. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) The liberal group Voter Participation Center sent out 5,000,000 voter registration forms – many to dogs and dead people. The groups says it has registered more than 350,000 since last September 2011. (Full Story here.)
In June, another story was posted on the PolitiJim Facebook page.
BEDFORD COUNTY, VA -- When Tim Morris got his mail last week he found a pretty big surprise, a document asking his dog Mozart to register to vote. Not only is Mozart a dog but he's been dead for two years.
"I opened it up and looked at it and I just laughed," Morris said. "I thought it was a joke at first and it turns out it's real."
The form is addressed to Mo, the family's nickname for the dog.
What amazed Morris is that if Mozart was human he would have been eligible to vote for the first time in 2012.
"He would have been 19 years old this year and he passed away two years ago," he said. "I still have no earthly idea how they got his information."
10 On Your Side looked deeper and found that the voter registration forms were sent by the non-profit Voter Participation Center, not the State Board of Elections.
In Lord of the Rings, on the road to destroy the Ring which threatened tyranny over people through centralized power and evil, Gandalf the Grey needed to buy time for his fellow hobbit warriors from the certain destruction by an evil Balrog. On a narrow bridge, he sacrificed himself so that their mission could survive and challenged the superior evil force declaring, “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”
Today we are at the same point. There is no now doubt of obvious and overwhelming vote fraud that guarantees the current and future will of We the People has been usurped. I am calling you Patriot to be our Gandalf and declare, “Voter Fraud, You Shall Not Pass!”
You will face no help (likely) from those in power even among conservative circles and media. You will face derision and resignation. All evil manifestations of cowardice and the cancer of freedom.
But if this is not stopped NOW, on this election, not only will evil have prevailed and corrupted THIS election through insidious deception and theft – liberty in America will be permanently hobbled and there will be no mechanisms to stop ANY desire of the Marxists and corruptocrats to do anything they want to this country – or our children.
West was leading by 2,000 votes until 35 minutes later, miraculously, he was loosing by 2,400. You think he can expect help from the Florida GOP who INTENTIONALLY redistricted him to make his reelection difficult? Nope. Because he speaks truth and wants to dismantle ALL statism – a direct threat to the GOP itself. But cowards that they are, they WILL are more worried about their image and the “fear of man” and WILL capitulate. Even now, the Democrat Election Supervisor is only allowing a PARTIAL recount of the first 3 days. One reason might be because West already picked up 500 votes from those days. No word (or lawsuits) from the GOP or the Republican establishment in Florida.
We saw this with Tim Pawlenty in Minnesota who refused to keep fighting in the courts even after it was disclosed that 1,000 felons gave Saturday Night Live comedian Al Franken a convenient come-from-behind margin of 300 votes to become a United States Senator and help to pass ObamaCare against the will of Americans.
In Nevada in 2010, Sharon Angle was up by 5 points against Harry Reid THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION. No help from the GOP or even conservative media to find out exactly how she lost by 7 points the next day or why SEIU had the contract to courier and count those votes in secret.
Joseph Farrah of WND.com who used to hang out with the likes of Bill Ayres and Bernardine Dohrn has come to the same conclusion many of us have. There is no doubt this election IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING STOLEN. He cites similar anomalies to Nevada like Michigan, where Romney was tied with Obama the day before the election, but lost to him by 9 points. Inexplicably ALL of the conservative ballot measures and state offices were won by Republicans. It doesn’t wash. As mentioned earlier, the University of Boulder Colorado has not been off by more than 1% in predicting voting in every state during a national election since 1980. They had Romney up significantly.
WARNING GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
But a nerve has been struck. Barack Obama Voter Fraud 2012 is a blog set up by Jedd Merill and friends simply to document all the incidents of vote fraud in this election. It’s astounding. They are getting 3,000 visitors AN HOUR at times and have over 160,000 visitors. Many who are contacting them through every imaginable means asking how they can help.
SO WHAT CAN WE DO?
These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan:
Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. (See contact information below. Please provide others in COMMENTS.)
Send them the press clippings, or personal testimonials of clear vote fraud witnessed. (Statistical aberrations are helpful too like a historical 50% turnout in 2004, 2008 but a 90% turnout in a specific precinct despite an overall LOWER state turnout.)
Demand a public recount AND investigation, with a commitment to fight to replace THEM in the next election if they do not do so.
Email/Phone/Visit EVERY WEEK if not EVERY DAY. This will take weeks of steady pressure to get them to move.
Get your friends and neighbors to do the same.
Contact the OTHER 4 states to do the same as above.
Contact the Governor and the local GOP office with the SAME pressure. (List of web contacts for each below)
If you are in those states (or know people who are) start attempting to find OTHERS with evidence of fraud. See if you can identify the precinct judges where the statistical aberations occur to pass along to the True the Vote which is set up to sue these entities with Judicial Watch.
Try to visit (or call) your local representative asking for their help to put pressure on. It doesn’t hurt that if they don’t or won’t you make it your goal to find and fund a challenger to them for allow open and honest elections - the fabric of freedom in this country - to not only go unchallenged, but to institutionalized.
Contact your city, state and national media to keep this story alive as well. (Fox News has an email just for this at voterfraud@foxnews.com)
Help us find, fund or coordinate willing lawyers, statisticians, pollsters and activists.
I can not reiterate enough that if this is NOT CHALLENGED NOW, we will could lose the House of Representatives in 2014 and possibly every election forward to massive voter fraud. Imagine Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi reenacting the first two years of Obama’s reign with more Stimulus, Cash for Cars, Solyndra’s and ObamaCare’s.
This fight can not be put off for another election cycle or another day. Or there will no longer be a constitutional America. Put down your foot and make the declaration, “THIS VOTE FRAUD WILL NOT STAND!”

WND Editor Joseph Farah has an essay emailed to me that I can’t find on their site. He makes the most articulate case why this election was stolen. It is mind numbing to me that Erick Erickson – who complains regularly about the GOP “group think” among establishment regulars – is trying to defend Obama in light of the overwhelming evidence that Obama did NOT win.
Erick “Hypocrisy” Erickson has a long list of such blindness. He:
libeled leading TEA Party candidate Jamie Radtke and pulled his initial endorsement after his bosses asked him to sell his integrity so George “Macaca” Allen could run. (Ironically he defended Akin/Mourdock against attacks on social conservatives against the establishment not supporting them.)
disparaged Sarah Palin AND her supporters like a liberal, trying to help Governor Perry – a man that we TEA partiers in Texas have a hard time tolerating.
refused to acknowledge the irrefutable evidence of Barack Obama’s forged birth certificates, selective service record and SSN despite making an oath to “uphold the United States Constitution and defend it” as a lawyer.
Why should we be surprised he now wants us to believe that all the pollsters simply “got it wrong” on the enthusiasm of each respective party. No wonder he’s a failed political consultant. You don’t have to be Lee Atwater to see that Obama’s inability to get 20 people to a rally in October while Romney had to turn away tens of thousands to know that something is wrong with the media spin and exit polling. (Erickson wants you to believe EXIT polling by liberal accomplices of the White House but not the state polling by independent AND liberal types clearly showing Obama was NOT going to match his output of 2008.
Why do you think Axelrod leaned so heavily on Gallup? This was a Sting that only Robert Redford could be proud of.
Farrah’s points are indisputable:
The Obama campaign accepted at least some foreign campaign cash – willingly and knowingly. The campaign website could have prohibited it. It did not. In other words, it deliberately left open the door for illegal foreign contributions in its "by any means necessary" quest for re-election. WND has proven that by actually contributing under the name Osama bin Laden from a Pakistani IP address, with a phony physical address and other neon-lit red flags in hopes of catching attention. Obama accepted illegal foreign contributions in 2008 without penalty, so why would anyone expect him not to repeat his crime in 2012? No one can know the extent of the fraud, because Obama has refused to release the identity of donors of $200 or less – yet he boasts that most of the money he collected was in small amounts.
James O'Keefe and Project Veritas spent months heroically proving the absolute willingness and eagerness of Democratic operatives to commit voter fraud – especially by having people cast multiple votes.
Military ballots were systematically denied active-duty servicemen and women around the world. This would be a scandal if it happened once. But it has become the norm when Democrats are in charge of the Defense Department. It would be a scandal if it were due to incompetence. But it appears to be a deliberate effort to suppress the military vote. It would be a scandal if it were not a close election. But it was.
Prior to the election, Democrats fought for open voting requiring no identification – particularly photo ID. Coincidentally, Obama won every state that didn't fully require photo ID to vote. Democrats contended that voter ID laws suppress the vote. But they do not. They only suppress the illegal vote.
Across Philadelphia, GOP poll inspectors were forcibly (and illegally) removed from polling locations. Coincidentally (or not), Obama received "astronomical" numbers in those very same regions, including locations where he received "over 99 percent" of the vote. Ward 4, which also had a poll watcher dressed in Obama attire, went massively for Obama. Obama received 99.5 percent of the vote, defeating Romney 9,955 to 55.
Obama also won 99.8 percent of the vote in 44 Cleveland districts. In another Ohio county, Obama won with 108 percent of the voters registered.
Obama received 10 million fewer votes than he did in 2008. Romney received 3 million fewer votes than McCain. Obama won in the four critical swing states by a grand total of 500,000 votes.
Some 5 million independents changed their votes from Obama to Romney in 2012. So Romney started the day 2.5 million votes ahead of where McCain was in 2008, as Jack Wheeler points out. This means that 5.5 million Republican voters are not accounted for. Either they didn't show up at the polls or their votes were not counted. Does anyone believe there was less enthusiasm by Republicans about this election than for the one in 2008?
Alan Vera has built numerous national brands and companies doing market research and studying the statistics of behavior. He pointed out months ago that the University of Boulder Colorado, who uses dozens of non-polling data points PER market to project winners, not only showed an overwhelming win for Romney, but has NEVER been wrong since 1980. It’s the only source that called the Carter/Reagan race correctly – and within margin. In fact, they have never been off by more than 1% in ANY election. It is inconceivable that they would have been off in EVERY SINGLE swing state.
While Erickson may want to turn a blind eye to hard statistics, I’m not sure how he can assume that vote fraud was NOT significant enough to overturn the election when Romney’s loss came down to 400,000 votes in 4 states or 100,000 votes in Ohio. An article run by the Columbus Dispatch the weekend before the election proved that 1 in 5 voter registrations in Ohio were bogus. Multiple counties had more votes for Obama than REGISTERED VOTERS.
But it’s ok Erick, you probably believe those 1,000 felons that voted for Stuart Smalley, (aka Al ObamaCare Franken), were irrelevant in his 312 vote margin victory. You probably still believe that the GOP won’t compromise on the Fiscal cliff or that they’ll finally impeach Obama some day too.
VOTER FRAUD RECOURSE
Farah isn’t sure much can be done to stop the election results. I don’t believe that and Allen West doesn’t believe that. And even if it WERE true, there is a LOT to be gained in education of current lawmakers, the media (even conservative media as you see the inane reasoning's of RedState) and fellow Americans. Like Rocky, even if we loose this round, we are wearing down Apollo for the final count.
Mark Levin was dead right this week that the GOP and their accomplices are foolishly ignorant of how dire an Obama second term is. The night of the election he signed the UN gun treaty. The day after, Hamas felt emboldened to begin an all out war on Israel. He has fired (or set up) 4 generals in 2 weeks to take control of the military and given HIS handpicked henchmen an executive order to take over the internet. And that’s not even the warm up act in the parking lot.
Farah IS right on one thing though, we need to bury Obama in Congressional investigations and charges the way he has numbed and neutralized us with the sheer amount of fraud and corruption. And a clear cut and dried, slam dunk case is the foreign campaign donation fraud of 2008AND 2012. And he has the cash and media reach to make this an issue. His plan:
I'm challenging the Obama campaign on the acceptance of those illegal donations. I've filed a Federal Elections Commission complaint at considerable cost. I have no illusions that it will be easy to challenge a sitting president within his own bureaucracy. But I'm doing it. Meanwhile, some in the press would prefer that I be charged with voter fraud for efforts to expose the system. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Democratic machine tries something like that.
We're fighting to preserve America's freedom here – nothing less.
We're fighting to preserve the concept of representative government – elections that actually mean something.
We're fighting to expose what no other news agency in the world apparently has an interest in exposing – the dark underbelly of corruption, fraud and abuse in our political system.
In addition to this we can NOT let off of the gas on investigating and prosecuting the 2012 election issues because if we don’t, NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE IN TIME FOR 2014 WHEN OBAMA COULD GET BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS TO DO HIS BIDDING. (You remember how that worked out with Pelosi/Reid?)
So knowing we won’t get help from the likes of RedState, Dick Morris or (of course) the GOP, we’re going to have to take back power the old fashioned way – hard work.
What we need to do:
Support Allen West’s Recount Fund ASAP. We can’t let another Al Franken victory stand for the Democrats, and PROVING fraud in this location will go a long way to get the attention of our own. (Maybe even Erick Erickson would change his mind and man up, who knows?)
Train and volunteer to POLICE the polls NOW, in preparation for 2014. You can get on the mailing list of True the Vote here. ACORN whistleblower Anita Moncrief was shocked at how much more organized and comprehensive the Democrats were than the GOP. If they don’t have a LOCAL coordinator in your area – YOU be the one.
Volunteer and run for positions within your own local GOP infrastructure. As Gary Johnson’s votes showed, a third party does nothing but help the OTHER party. We have NO option but to take over the steering wheel within the Grand Old Party, and (finally) wield it’s power correctly. It will take time, but our civilization is at stake.
Find, fund, volunteer for and support candidates like Allen West who won’t play politically correct games with the Democrats OR the GOP.
And pray. Always and without ceasing for:
Revival in America.
The Dishonest and corrupt to be removed from office. And the media.
God’s mercy and grace to give us a second chance for killing our babies, threatening to force His people to give away land HE gave them.
Wisdom and direction on a strategy that will allow us to take down the Goliath of ungodliness in our culture and in political corruption. And the grace and timing to implement it.
There is an enormity of evidence that voting machines across the country did not accurately record votes albeit from poll clerks, poll watchers or actual voters. A common cry heard from those wanting to simply accept these results is “you’ll never be able to prove it.”
Au contraire, mon frere.
Voting Machine Programmer Testifies
An impounding and analysis of the voting machine in question can reveal if the compiled software deviated from a “pure” version of the software already certified by the State – if not actually pulled from the machine itself. During the primaries, Alan Vera of True the Vote mentioned on The Patriot Zone blogtalk radio program, that a British computer scientist had pulled software from a voting machine proving vote swapping routines. This should be done immediately by every swing state (if not every state) in question.
And citizens need to IMMEDIATELY contact their State Representatives to get legislation passed THIS YEAR, to allow a bipartisan panel of computer experts chosen by the citizenry, to view and certify all programs in these machines even if the vendor wants to classify them as “trade secrets.”
Also, as Allen West’s crack team has discovered, there is a WRITTEN record of actual voters by precinct that also can expose lost votes.
Erick Erickson reiterated his belief that the while voter “abnormalities” happened, it didn’t cost Romney the election. Erickson’s normally a fairly smart guy but – of course – he offers ZERO evidence to back up his claim other than accepting the corrupt voting tallies from the same sources that supposedly got it wrong BEFORE the election.
He doesn’t explain how:
Not a SINGLE major poll showed enthusiasm up from 2008 for Obama, and yet he SURPASSED his 2008 demographic percentages.
OH, PA, MI, etc, etc, had MULTIPLE polls absolutely correct for STATE candidates – but somehow got the NATIONAL votes incorrect? Michigan is a prime example where Obama supposedly won, but none of the down ballot initiatives or state wide offices went Democrat. How is that even possible?
Ohio could possibly have been accurate when the Columbus Dispatch reported 1 in 5 voter registrations were bogus, tens of thousands of military ballots were never cast (due to White House shenanigans) or simply never counted, and while pre-election polls showed Romney picking up a few percentage points from African Americans and Hispanics, 100 precincts in Cuyahoga County Ohio voted less than 1% for Romney.
I could go on and on but WND and Obama Voter Fraud have much more extensive lists. Bob Cooley, who actually PARTICIPATED in Chicago voter fraud and knows the people who got Obama started, had been warning of this for over 3 years. Speaking at King Street Patriots in 2011 he said four things would happen:
Obama would use tax payer and illegal contributions to have a secret fund far in excess of publically disclosed finances.
He would buy off precinct captains in key states to stuff the ballot box where needed.
They would take unprecedented efforts to expand absentee voter fraud to new heights.
They would spend millions to hack the voting machines where needed to throw the election.
How did he know? It’s what Obama has practiced since heading up Project Vote in Chicago. (What do you think a community organizer does anyway? IT STEALS VOTES! ACORN – Obama’s OTHER employer and BFF - existed to use voter registrations to pad the ballot box.)
Call your STATE Congressman (or Congresswoman, person or whatever) to immediately SEQUESTER all state voting machines to be investigated.
Find your LOCAL County Clerk's tally BY PRECINCT of logged voters (or find a lawyer or file an FOI request) to match against their ACTUAL votes cast in that precinct.
Note LARGE discrepancies and IMMEDIATELY send them to the Secretary of State, True the Vote and your local press. I’ll say it again. If we let this election cycle’s fraud stand, there is no longer any need to hold elections.
Just look at the shuffle and jive happening in St. Lucie, Florida in Allen West’s recount efforts. Votes were counted in secret, changed wildly in 25 minutes although West won EVERY OTHER jurisdiction handily, and the Democratic Election Supervisor STOPPED the recount after West gained 535 additional votes from recounting the votes for ONLY the first 3 days of early voting.
Thank God for Allen West who said he can stand losing, but he will not capitulate to corruption.
Neither should we.
Just like they told us to not fight too hard on the Budget Ceiling Debate because they would “handle it in the next general election,” and just like they told us to settle for Romney because he would appeal to moderates – we can not let this go any further.
Fox had a TV special today on Voter Fraud. In fact, it’s still going on for another 1/2 hour but I’m so damn angry I’m not going to finish watching in order to rant.
Fox News is dead as an honest conservative voice.
I know, I know. “Water is wet” and “ “Clay Aiken is gay.” But I watched three overt misrepresentations in the first 1/2 hour that continues to equivocate and dilute the REAL story. Remember, FOX still hasn’t reported on Sheriff Joe’s investigation and intentionally shielded Romney numerous times in this primary already. So much fair and balanced.
The show started out quite well showing numerous incidents where absentee ballots had been cast in elections without the knowledge of the person with that identity. It also covered the former Alabama Democrat Rep. Artur Davis who shockingly admitted that voter fraud was a way of life for the Democratic party. This was the guy who seconded Obama’s nomination for President and the only Congressional Black Caucus member who voted against ObamaCare.
However in three of the main segments in the first half hour, FOX News lied,omitted and manipulated facts to blur the real culpability of the Democrats in this cowardly practice.
The first was discussing the Scott Walker recall at length. FOX did cite the guy who signed the recall petition 80 times and noted that the Wisconsin officials said they would not remove duplicates or obvious signatures like Mickey Mouse or Adolph Hitler. But in actually discussing the facts of what happened they stopped at reporting only that the Wisconsin Republican Party began to manually check duplicates where they had 30 days to file objections and could not finish in time to log an objection. They completely ignored the effort by True The Vote’s “Verify the Recall” that mobilized over 13,000 volunteers in 49 states to identify over 400,000 fraudulent signatures including that of Donald Duck. FOX left it sounding like “no one really knows if there was fraud or not.”
The second item was a discussion of the 2000 Florida Presidential count for Bush versus Gore. I didn’t expect them to reveal the whole truth behind how Gore and the Democrats had systematically attempted to subvert our 200 year voting traditions and laws but was dumbfounded by their spin suggesting that it is possible Bush stole the election. No mention that the USA Today, Miami Herald and the Washington Postshowed Bush’s margin would have nearly TRIPLED. This doesn’t even account for all the other slimy Democrat tactics like trying to smear Katherine Harris, or trying to steal the recount. (Don’t forget, Gore illogically received three times as many “recount” improvements as Bush did – a statistical improbability. But FOX made it sound like it is still “up in the air,” when facts are conclusive to independent observers.
The last issue was what set me off to ignore my Sunday Cubs game to get this done. FOX besmirched the integrity of the Father of our country to make it sound like the man who “couldn’t tell a lie” was just an an average politician.
Fox’s fake George Washington take: George Washington bought votes to buy his election!
Maybe the truth doesn’t make for quite such a good “voter fraud special.” I mean, who cares if you besmirch the reputation of perhaps the most important founder of our country if it will help your TV show, right?
In fact, liquor was a simple part of the election process for ALL candidates in Virginia. Voters would go to “tipping houses” where votes were cast and the smart politician would buy the drinks for those voting. It was Washington who wrote the Governor asking that the practice be halted. In a 1757 election for burgess, Washington refused to participate in the practice and was defeated by 40 votes. In 1758, Washington didn’t fight it and won by a sizeable margin over his opponent.
No where did FOX explain Washington resisted it and that ALL politicians did this. Nor did they mention this was for a minor state office and had nothing to do with his Presidency.
Is it any wonder that with this kind of communication by the only “conservative” mainstream media that we are in such a battle? This is the kind of thing that Malkin, Levin and Limbaugh pulled on conservatives by their incomplete (or worse) commentary during the GOP primary.
I didn’t watch it but asked the National Training Director for the True the Vote how the second half hour went. Again – it was incomplete and more of the same. Missing the REAL stories of clear fraudulent voting in favor of trying to not attack the Democratic machine too hard. No mention of the Soros Secretary of State program to put corrupt Democrats in power to steal elections. No talk of the studies on that prove Voter ID actually HELPS the disadvantaged in elections (as well as Democrats).
In fact, in Al Franken case were over 1000 felons illegally voted, FOX interviewed only 10 (9 of who voted for Franken) and concluded they couldn’t truly ascertain if this was a planned Democrat initiative or not. Of course, all they had to do was interview just a fraction more and they would have had a statistically significant sample to ABSOUTELY make that claim.
It seems it will be up to a small remnant of us to hold fast to the ideals upon which this country was founded and fight for truth.
God knows FOX has given up that fight.
We can’t let the mainstream media keep obscuring fact.
We can’t let the CONSERVATIVE media (i.e., George Will, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh) continue to omit, distort or misreport FACT based on their personal bias.
We can’t allow the GOP establishment to erase ALL of the progress made in the 2010 elections by diluting the message and leadership by a guy who was the most anti-conservative governor in Massachusetts history ONLY 7 years ago.
The fight starts now, and the GOP establishment domination stops here.
It’s clear that Santorum stole the election in Alabama from Gingrich and likely did in Tennessee as well. Romney forces seemed to have done this in Maine, Puerto Rico and other places and I will eventually do a full post. Meanwhile, here are two examples of Romney chicanery.
I would first like to thank all of you who registered and helped proof the signatures on the Scott Walker Recall Petition project (Verify the Vote) which has been an absolutely amazing modern day digital minutemen movement. I can tell you there were not ANYWHERE NEAR the 1.2 million signatures they said they had – but don’t know specifics yet.
Ever wonder how Rahm Emanuel won Mayor of Chicago even though the courts initially decided against him, and polls going into the election showed him losing? They stole the vote. And Obama is planning to do it on a NATIONWIDE scale.
Please read this letter I received from Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote discussing MASSIVE evidence of MoveOn trying to steal this upcoming election.
Dear PolitiJim,
Imagine liberal, extremist, big government groups back in control of Congress, with no common-sense Constitutional conservatives to veto their worst bills. The election is months away, but this scenario could definitely happen, and here's a big reason why: “Nearly 2 million dead Americans are still on active voter registries, and 1 in every 8 registrations in the United States is invalid or has major inaccuracies, according to a new study” by the Pew Center on the States (TheHill.com, Josh Lederman, 2-14-12). Liberal extremist groups like the George Soros financed MoveOn and ACORN are going to try and steal this election again with a massive voter registration and resulting fraud.
Seventy percent (70%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to cast their ballot. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 22% oppose this kind of requirement.
Additionally, the Pew report stated last week that almost 3 million Americans are actively registered to vote in multiple states, while about 12 million have old or error-ridden addresses listed on their registrations, including empty lots and the like. But we can't stop there and we need to do more to STOP the"Chicago-politics" machine from stealing the election at ANY cost. The bad news is that United States Attorney General Eric Holder has used the Voting Rights Act to block one of the best GOP voter integrity laws in South Carolina. But the election won't be decided in South Carolina–and to continue the Soros-socialist agenda at ALL costs, Holder will keep going.
With the election approaching, we don't have much time to fight to preserve our most precious freedom - the sanctity of our votes and ballot integrity. So we're aiming to raise at least $100,000 this week to continue our grassroots campaign for voting rights. Can you chip in $10?
Last August, three voters in Wake County, North Carolina, were charged with voting twice in the 2008 presidential election, apparently for President Barack Obama. In April, a member of the executive committee of the NAACP in Tunica County, Mississippi, was convicted on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots and sentenced to five years in prison. She voted in the names of six other voters, as well as in the names of four dead voters. There are pending indictments of city council members and an ongoing grand jury investigation of ballot fraud in Troy, New York, over a 2009 primary involving the Working Families Party (Heritage.org - Without Proof: The Unpersuasive Case Against Voter Identification, Hans von Spakovsky & Alex Ingram, 8-24-11).
Here's our plan: First, we'll team up with the leading citizen groups in each state–great organizations like the 9-12 Patriots.
Then, True the Vote will organize events to empower these despicable attacks on voting integrity and ballot security, while also being a vanguard against voter fraud at every level. Voting is one of the most sacred rights in our democracy. But unethical groups know that if they can inflate even 1-2% of turnout among these key voting blocs, it'll be enough to tip the scales in race after race.
These laws are there to protect ALL taxpaying Americans their voting rights. What’s more, as Mike Brownfield of the Heritage Foundation noted on 12-21-11; “... surveys of registered voters show that requiring a photo ID to vote would not be a serious problem. An American University survey in Maryland, Indiana, and Mississippi found that less than one-half of 1 percent of registered voters lacked a government-issued ID, and a 2006 survey of more than 36,000 voters found that only '23 people in the entire sample–less than one-tenth of one percent of reported voters' were unable to vote because of an ID requirement.”
The 2012 election is coming up fast, so we don't have much time. Can you chip in $10?
Conservative commentators have wondered why, with the African American unemployment plummeting to 14.4%, the NAACP isn’t advocating policies that have helped minorities in years past. There were even members of the Congressional Black Caucus that began to
