Democrats’ Voter ID Lies

Voting BoothsWith a perfectly straight face, Barack Obama recently told Al Sharpton’s National Action Network that “the real voter fraud is the people who try to deny our [voting] rights by making bogus arguments about voter fraud.” Eric Holder likewise contends, without even a hint of a grin, that voter ID laws are merely “political efforts” designed to make it “more difficult” for nonwhite minorities to “have access to the ballot.” And Hillary Clinton, too, casually dismisses voter fraud as a “phantom epidemic” that exists chiefly in the imagination of conservatives. Democrat consultant Donna Brazile puts it more colorfully, calling charges of voter fraud “a big ass lie.”

As they twist their faces into pained and pious countenances to give the appearance of passion and sincerity, these four individuals—along with all the other leading Democrats who invariably spout the same tripe—have only one significant thing in common: None of them actually believe even a word that they say about the rarity of voter fraud or the alleged injustice of voter ID requirements. In the privacy of their hearts, their efforts are devoted chiefly to refraining from laughing out loud at the absurd stupidities that they parrot ceaselessly—like Eric Holder’s claim that voter ID requirements are the equivalent of “poll taxes.” If the Democrats were honest, they would simply say the following:

We are moral crusaders who believe that the conservative vision of the world is evil beyond measure, and that our vision of an ever-expanding central government that controls the economy, regulates every aspect of people’s lives, and redistributes everyone’s wealth and property as we deem appropriate, is by far the better course. And because our objectives are so much better for humankind as a whole, we are resolutely committed to using any means at our disposal to achieve them. Thus we will deceive, lie, cheat, and steal anything—including elections. That’s why we’re not at all ashamed of playing the role of imbeciles when we promote the vapid idiocies that we cite as reasons to oppose voter ID laws.

But instead of making honest declarations like these, the Democrats instead pretend to be unaware of very well-known facts like the following:

•A 2012 report by the Pew Center on the States found that 24 million voter registrations—an incredible one-eighth of all registrations nationwide—were either invalid or inaccurate, including almost 3 million people who were registered in more than one state, and more than 1.8 million dead people who were still registered.

•A 2014 study found that two years earlier, some 155,692 registered voters in North Carolina alone had first and last names, birth dates, and final four Social Security number digits that matched those of voters who were registered in other states.

•The same study also found that 35,570 people who had actually voted in North Carolina, had first names, last names, and birth dates dates that matched those of voters who had cast ballots in other states.

•On election day 2013, undercover agents from New York City’s Department of Investigations (DOI) went to 63 different polling places and assumed the names of individuals who were ineligible to vote because they had either died, moved out of town, or been incarcerated. In 61 of the 63 instances, or 97% of the time, the agents were allowed to vote.

•In 2008, Democrat Al Franken won a highly controversial U.S. Senate race in Minnesota by just 312 votes. It was later discovered that 1,099 felons—all legally ineligible to vote—had nonetheless cast ballots in the election, almost exclusively for Franken. Consider this: Without Franken, the Democrats would not have had the 60 Senate votes they needed in order to pass Obamacare in 2010.

•A 2006 study found 77,000 dead people listed on New York’s statewide database of registered voters, and many of them had somehow managed to cast ballots from the grave. One Bronx address in particular was identified as the home of as many as 191 of these registered voter-corpses.

•In Milwaukee in 2004, approximately 5,300 more ballots were cast than voters who were recorded as having shown up at the polls.

•In 2008, election officials nationwide had to discard at least 400,000 bogus voter registrations submitted by ACORN, the infamous, Obama-affiliated criminal operation masquerading as a “community organization.” No one knows how many other invalid registrations were never detected.

•In 2011, a Colorado study found that of the nearly 12,000 non-citizens who were registered to vote in that state, about 5,000 had taken part in the 2010 general election.

•In ten Colorado counties in 2012, voter registrations outnumbered the total voting-age population by between 4% and 40%.

•In a forthcoming article in the journal Electoral Studies, university professors Jesse Richman and David Earnest conclude that a significant number of non-citizens—who support Democrats about 80% of the time—vote in U.S. elections, and that “their participation can change the outcome of close races.”

These examples represent only the barest tip of a colossal iceberg. And Obama, Holder, Hillary, and the rest of the Democrats know all about it, just like you and I know all about it. They really aren’t dumb enough to believe any of the things they say about voter fraud and voter ID. They’re just counting on voters being dumb enough to believe them. It’s that simple.

    If Democrats agree to voter ID, how are they suppose to get the illegal votes of felons and illegal migrants, who are mostly pro-Democrat?

      ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

      “Anti-racists” SAY they are against white racists, white racism, and white privilege.

      What they are REALLY against is white culture, white civilization, and white people./

      They SAY they want a world without “hate”, without “racism”.

      What they REALLY want is a world without white people.

      What they REALLY want is a world without YOU.

      What they REALLY want is White geNOcide!

      Anti-racist is a >codeword< for anti-White

    I am currently registered to vote in three districts in NJ, the district I lived in before I was married, when I was married, and after my divorce. My mother and ex-wife see my name in the big book at every election. This goes back over 20 years. Imagine if I was dishonest.

  • cree

    In other words, leftists expect the people living by and under the submission of all manner of untruths is the better society the whole world should readily embrace. We’ll need capable leaders though to oversee the grand transition to utopia. Adjust people, adjust.

  • Colt

    The solution is simple: A photo ID and fingerprint. If a person cannot or will not comply than they can’t vote. Of course this would eliminate voter fraud and toads like Obama would never get into office.

    • Patriot077

      That only fixes the front end though and doesn’t eliminate the fraud committed during the count or the shenanigans with electronic vote machines and software.
      We need to find a fool proof electronic method or go back to paper ballots and the states need to somehow cross reference registered voters for duplicates … total overhaul in other words :)
      I want the purple finger after I have voted my paper ballot.

      • Carl

        In Alabama, we have paper ballots.

        • Patriot077

          Do you put them through an electronic scanner? If so, I think they can still jimmy the results but on recount there is a paper trail. We have mail in ballots; they are paper, but who knows what happens to them on arrival or once the counting commences.

          • Carl

            Yes, the Voting Machines we put the ballots in, do have the electronic scanner.

          • Carl

            In past Elections, we had recounts.

    The ease that Democrats lie to the American people in order to turn America into a communist state, is astounding. Fight, fight. fight.

      There have been prosecutions, but not nearly enough.

    It’s democrat taquiyya.

  • SoCalMike

    Democrats are the party of voter fraud.
    My only question is when will the Repubes really fight about it.
    My guess is never.
    The races in this upcoming election should not even be close and they wouldn’t be if the Repubes weren’t sitting there like church mice quiet on issues planning on inheriting power because of fatigue against Dems rather than telling us what they will do or roll back when they assume power.

    In Medieval the Alchemist believed that
    with the right words, they could transform lead into Gold. These pre- Louis
    Debroglie, magi of the Middle ages did have a premonition of the
    interrelation of matter and energy. They believed that thoughts and words
    emanated energy, and with the proper manipulation of energy, reality
    could be changed. You could say they were the original believers
    in” hope and change”.

    Likewise, liberals, progressives,
    communist and Democrats have been trying for decades to transform reality with
    their words and beliefs. These liberal, progressive Democrats believe
    that through their wisdom and words they can change society into a utopia. In
    their world view there is a cornucopia out there, vast sums of wealth hidden
    away by greedy, wealthy capitalist. All that was need was more
    agencies, more bureaucrats, more rules and more regulations. And
    when these failed to transform our lead society into the gold of their
    socialist collective, they tried more and more taxes. They even implemented
    Karl Marx’s graduated income tax. Their goal to take back from those
    wealthy hoarders the wealth to which the rest of us were “entitled’.
    Never mind that admonition about killing the goose that lays the golden egg!

    Unfortunately, government
    employees, with their lucrative pensions, health care and pensions along
    with their agencies and departments are too costly. And so the liberal
    Democrats began to borrow and borrow from the privately-owned Federal Reserve
    Bank and other foreign plutocrats. As we all know, loans come with terms,
    conditions, interest cost and promises of collateral , in case the loan
    defaults. But in the liberal Democrats’ dialectic lexicon, a debt
    is really an investment. The public was forced to cosign a 17trillion
    loan, the national debt, for the progressive Democrats’ investments.

    Now, the Marxist magic is gone. The “yes
    we can” believers, and the public in general are disillusioned. Many of
    the “hope and change” voters are even angry, feeling like they have been
    deceived.. Of course those who live off the public purse will still vote
    Democrat. But those productive people in the over-taxed, over-regulated
    private sector are weary of these magicians. And now these voters are ready to
    throw these alchemist, with their delusions, out of office.

    You can get a more honest election in Afghanistan than you can in Philadelphia. The Democrats have been rigging elections ever since Boss tweed and Tammany Hall and later with Mayor Daley in 1960

  • seewithyourowneyes

    When I went to law school, judges were supposed to recuse themselves “to avoid even the appearance to impropriety.” Isn’t faith in our voting system at least as important as faith in our judicial system? How can democracy survive when there’s no longer any faith in the system, and elected officials condemn as racist any attempt to restore honor to the system?

    HELP STOP VOTER FRAUD?

    As an
    Independent I personally think that the majority of both parties stink, but I
    do trust the splintering millions who belong to the TEA PARTY. I also do
    believe that Voter Fraud is not a myth and the biggest violators are the
    Liberal-Democrats.

    The
    national Press influenced by the Democrats will keep this low profile or prefer
    to ignore it even though it is a major issue that damages our election
    integrity? The Democrats will do anything to win, even to cheating the system.
    Unethical advocates will drive from one country to another, to one precinct to
    another or even in a close state, voting over and over again? Then there was
    ACORN that signed up just about anybody, offering a small amount of money.
    However they were eventually caught, but have adapted to another bogus
    organization?

    The
    pro-amnesty Hispanic activist organization the National Council of La Raza
    helpfully promoted a Washington Post article explaining which states people can
    vote in without having to use a photo ID. – See more at: http://www.teaparty.org/ If that doesn’t
    make the average person suspicious—what will?

    Every prudent American should
    carefully scrutinize the thousands of electronic voting machines scattered
    around the country in the election hall. Complaints that were warranted is the fact that if you are
    voting for a Republican it transfers your vote to a Democrat, with excuses that
    it was an error when it was calibrated. But this has been happening more and more
    so stand and watch that your precious vote is correct. It happened in Maryland and Illinois, so be vigilant and make sure your
    vote goes to your selected politician or approved issue.

    “Vote flipping” is the phrase given when a vote flips from
    one candidate or party selected to the other. In these cases, the Republican
    option flipped to the Democratic one. The cause of the issue of Republican
    votes turning blue is said to be a “calibration issue,” but Illinois is not
    the only state experiencing these early voting issues. According to WBALTV, complaints of “vote flipping”
    are plaguing several counties in Maryland.

    The Daily Caller E-media publicized an avenue to expose Voter
    Fraud, by contacting ‘True the Vote’,
    one of the conservative groups that was singled out by the IRS in the
    tax-exempt targeting scandal prior to the Presidential election that is launching
    a new app to make voter fraud easier to report.

    The app, called VoteStand, allows users a quickly and easily
    report suspicious activity. The app will be released for iOS and Android
    on Nov. 1.

    According to the app’s website,
    the VoteStand is “America’s first. Online election fraud reporting app.
    VoteStand provides you the online tools and support you need to quickly report
    suspected election illegalities as they happen.”

    The features of VoteStand, according to its website, are:

    Secure

    VoteStand
    uses a high level encryption, inside the app allowing information to get to the
    right people to make reporting voter fraud easily. Count on us to provide you
    with the best reporting tool around.

    Report

    The
    app uses your geo-location and the user filled report in order to provide
    enough evidence to procure legal action against the person/persons committing
    the fraud.

    Investigate

    After
    an easy sign up, the app is ready to use and report all visual evidence of
    voter fraud. The processes are as easy as taking a picture and filling out some
    identifying information about the incident. That’s it!

    Voter
    Fraud is more prevalent than most American think. Our election laws have been
    compromised as in a study by Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES)
    shows what many Americans are aware of Obama and the Executive know—illegal
    aliens have been voting. Yes, they recognize it is illegal—but
    being in this country without documents is also illegal. More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010
    samples indicated that they were registered to vote. One has to wonder what the
    percentage is in 2014.

    The Declaration of Perjury is lame, and instead should have some
    teeth in it? Perhaps on a conviction for a non-citizen, should be sentenced to
    Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Tent City in Maricopa County, Arizona with the feds paying
    the bill. Even the new Colorado absentee ballot was compromised almost
    immediately. Democrats are the biggest culprits and look the other way on any
    irregularities. Without any fear of contradiction California having the largest
    populations of illegal aliens and a crazy Governor Jerry Brown who welcomes
    criminal nationals in his Sanctuary state has no requirement of a picture ID to
    vote. Therefore, how can a Californian truly knows that their vote count when
    the whole system is has been undermined by people who have no right to be in this
    sovereign country.

    If you believe that you are a victim of
    election fraud or have witnessed a criminal violation of the Elections Codes
    for an example you may use the Election Voter Complaint Form to report the
    violation to any Secretary of State office of a specific state. It’s best not
    to approach anybody in the voter precinct as they might be affiliated with a
    political party and the complaint will be mislaid and never reach the
    authorities.

    So the Odumba motto “Hope and Change” is that he hopes that the frauds are not caught and he wants to change all voting to electronic so they will automatically count all votes as Democrat

    The left leaning Washington Post admits that voter fraud on a massive scale has been occurring since 2008.

    Writing in the Washington Post, Old Dominion University political science professors Jesse Richman and David Earnest preview some of the results of their findings, using data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study.

    According to the author’s preview published Friday, more than 14 percent of non-citizens in 2008 and 2010 “indicated” they were registered to vote and many did.

    “Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010,” wrote Richman and Earnest. That 6.4 percent of illegal’s that voted illegally, amounts to at least 800,000 illegal votes.

    They note that non-citizens tend to be Democratic voters and that in their 2008 sample, 80 percent of non-citizens cast ballots for Obama. Given that, they conclude that non-citizen participation “was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections.”

    But of course we don’t need to secure the integrity of our voting process, say corrupt Democrats the main beneficiaries of voter fraud.
