Hey, not that anyone cares about voter fraud anymore, but…
…three non-residents pleaded guilty to voter fraud charges in Ohio today.
The Palestra.net, which did incredible work documenting all the election shenanigans, has the story.
More from the Columbus Dispatch.
Sorry for the “distraction.” Move along…

“Voter fraud” is citizens, particularly of a conservative bend, wanting proof of ID/citizenship when at the polling station.
Again,
when one side in a battle knows no rules, is bound by no rules…
there are no rules.
STARVE THE BEAST
Light punishment, I say.
Well, just a few thousand precincts and millions more dead and non-citizens to go!
Jeddite
Yes, never let honesty and truthfulness affect a voting exercise. ( sarc)
A whole $1000 fine, paid by George Soros no doubt…
3? …and it will get played that they’ve clean up all the fraud so move along folks nothing to see here.
I’m sure each and every one of the trolls who said repeatedly that there was voter registration fraud, but not a single case of an improper vote cast will step forward now and issue their public apology.
I will be happy to search and post your names if you’d like.
Actually, there is one, just one:
THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS.
That is all.
Remember…if your going to hold breath…
hold a liberal’s breath…
Judge Napolitano said this exact same thing today on Glenn Beck. Maybe your idea is catching on, Rags.
Well said. May I recommend a rear naked choke or several sleeve chokes available per various martial arts or combatives? Just remember to get your hooks in.
simply get behind a liberal and use your right hand to go around it’s neck, hit it’s adam’s apple or tracheal bone ( if female) and simultaneously smack them in the small of their back….. just sayin…… what a silencer … works.
OOOOOH, I think I’m a bad boy!
I hope you ain’t seen nothing yet.
But I have to absent myself from here for a while, partly to see what I can foment, and partly to make a living…
This is addictive…!!!
I was wondering about this story just this morning, and intended to do some research, expecting that it would take some digging. Thank you Palestra.net for staying on the beat, and while I’m at it, thank you every on-line reporter everywhere.
This Amy Little ?
Sarahcuda!! Chokes ‘em up every time…there are now a few less liberals in the world.
My, my, all this voter fraud. Perhaps Sen. Franken can head up a committee to investigate vote fraud in America.
You’re right. No one does care about voter fraud. It’s really nice to document it and talk about it. The extent of voter fraud as perpetrated by the Democrat Party and it’s associated groups is probably significant enough to have given Barry Soetoro the election win, and almost certainly was significant enough to bolster the Democrat majority in the Senate.
The news media don’t care about voter fraud. Democrats don’t care about voter fraud. The courts for the most part are agents of voter fraud. So what’s the point? As long as good Americans limit their actions to whining, complaining, documenting, and calling representatives, NOTHING will ever improve. Thanks to inaction of those who supposedly care, our country is in an almost irreversible state of decline.
Folks, we’ve got to stop playing “by the rules” and start using the strategies of Saul Alinsky and others in our fight against those who are oppressing us. In other words, we need to fight fire with fire if we’re ever going to slow the advance of tyranny.
Why weren’t these three given the maximum sentence and held as an example to deter others? I would love to ask the judge that question.
They caught three of ‘em, eh? From the looks of it they were morons who practically announced their illegality.
But what difference does it make if people were voting illegally when the guy that they were voting FOR never had to disclose HIS legal qualifications? Our electoral process is a complete joke, but I’m not laughing…
Somewhere in the world Dancing With The Stars is on – and you’re worried about election fraud? I mean, representative government is at stake and all while the fascists take over – oh wait, here comes the
nursewaitress with the Kool-Aid…These folks in ACORN and other groups don’t understand that when they destroy the public trust in our voting system, they destroy our history of peaceful transfer of power every four years. All they care about is getting their guy in no matter the cost. But there is a cost, and I see it every election.
What has kept us separate from the bannana republics and their violent transfers of power is fair elections. When public has trust in the election system, they know they can “redress their grievences” peacefully and ensure continued good governence of our nation. Once the public’s trust is broken, then they will have no other option to “redress their greivences” peacefully. That will eventually lead to violent tranfers of power.
I don’t want to see that happen and wish the justice system in OH would have made severe examples of these three fraudsters. These were not idealistic kids that committed this fraud, but grown adults who knew better.
There is a cost when you cheat and I see it in every election recently. Over 50% of Americans now believe elections are “rigged” per Rasmussen polls. What will be the tipping point? When over 75% of Americans believe their voice is not heard in the election process?
Yeah, let’s not think about those that indulge in voter fraud. They just “stole a few votes” nothing more. Perhaps, we should just stuff the ballot box like they do in Venezuela and have done with it.
Or better yet… let’s just have a pretend election like they do in North Korea. I mean, their dictator must be overwhelmingly popular, right?
/snark off
Random63: Hat tip to you!
Perfectly stated – I was thinking the same thing but you put the thoughts to words much better than could I.
The lede in the Columbus Dispatch story that MM linked to:
Anyone else see something odd? How can a GOTV organization supporting Obama be characterized as independent?
I sent the writer an e-mail asking that question. I’ll let you know what I here.
Glad that we have an independent press.
Now you made this bald man blush and that is NEVER a pretty sight! Thank you.
I’m shocked,shocked to find that voter fraud is going on in Columbus, Ohio!
I’m sorry, but we must use the right language; don’t use the language preferred by the left.
Voter fraud is something that happens ‘over there in River City’, not in my town.
Throw that term out, flush it.
It is ELECTION FRAUD, ELECTION FRAUD, ELECTION FRAUD, ELECTION FRAUD.
Let me repeat, it is fricking ‘ELECTION FRAUD’.
Words mean things.
It is ‘ELECTION FRAUD’ g0$23456 dang it.
Have I made my point?
Is it clear?
Do you get it?
It’s Frickin ‘ELECTION FRAUD’ nothing else.
That’s how we got Hugo Hussein Obama.
When you let them define the rules, the language and the field of conflict you have already lost.
They should get (at a minimum) all three elements mentioned above.
Also, their right to vote in any federal election should be rescinded permanantly.
A message has to be sent that voter fraud is an affront to our national heritage!

Exactly.
All that was ever produced was:
1) A photoshopped JPEG on Daily Kos
2) A hard copy production of that photoshopped JPEG that was:
– A) Produced at the Obama campaign offices in Chicago
– B) Not released by the State of Hawaii
– C) Not verified by the State of Hawaii
– D) Only shown to a small, friendly audience (Annenberg Political Fact Check) that then spread misinformation.
The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health never verified the document claimed to be Obama’s Certification of Live Birth, and she never said Obama was born in Hawaii.
There has been no officially certified proof that Obama was born in Hawaii.
If that weren’t enough, there is a convincing argument that the founders who wrote the “natural born citizen” requirement into our Constitution understood that term as it was defined by Vattel:
And if that weren’t enough, there are questions as to whether Obama travelled on an Indonesian passport over the age of 18 (which would have required him to renounce any U.S. citizenship)
Where are the I-9 forms that Obama should have completed when he started his new jobs as Senator and then President?

Venezuela could already be stuffing our ballot box.
These three fellons aren’t the “tip of the iceberg”,
they are the “tip of the 100 mile-long glacier”.
For everyone who thinks the 2010 elections are the answer to our current hell-bent-for-Socialism government, the 2010 elections only give us hope if they are HONEST.
There is way too much room for fraud in our current system. And I agree with an earlier commenter that if citizens can no longer trust elections to be fair, then the transfer of power will not remain peaceful.
You R playing their game by their rules using their definitions. Say ‘Goodnight Gracie’.
The left may have finally gained enough power that they no longer have to worry about relinquishing control thru elections; Hugo won his; Saddam won his…
Yup, and guess what? The rule of law is dead in this country. The only thing that matters to this so-called conventional wisdom-driven society is naked power.
I predict skull-cracking will occur shortly.
I agree with Milwaukee Mike — engage in voter fraud, lose your right to vote.
Of course in some states where you don’t have to show id’s or have an actual address, I’m sure those three wouldn’t let a little thing like a legal judgement interfere with their plans.
$1000 and suspended sentence. Not bad for throwing an election. And I predict someone else will be picking up the tab.
Hooray for this! I celebrate every time someone gets nailed for vote fraud. There is still some decency in the U.S.
$1,000 fine and suspended jail time? George Soros spills that much money daily, he’ll be glad to write them a check. It SHOULD have been five years in jail, NO probation, to stop this crap.
Mama and Daddy will likely pony up to keep their sweetiepies out of the joint.
First of all, I wish to apologize for the grammar and spelling of my previous post. I didn’t take the time to check it before posting and that bothers me. I am going to repost my entry for your review and comments. Once again, I apologize.
These people in ACORN, the media, and other groups don’t understand that when they destroy the public trust in our voting system, they destroy our history of peaceful transfer of power every four years. All they care about is getting their guy elected no matter the cost. But, there is cost, and I see it every election.
What have kept us separate from the banana republics and their violent transfers of power are fair elections. When public has trust in the election system, they know they can “redress their grievances” peacefully and ensure continued good governance of our nation.

I don’t want to see that happen and wish the justice system in Ohio would have made a severe example of these three fraudsters. These were not idealistic kids that committed this fraud, but grown adults who knew better.
There is a cost when you cheat and I see it in every election aftermath recently. Over 50% of Americans now believe elections are “rigged” per Rasumussen polls. What will be the tipping point? When over 75% of Americans believe their voice is not heard in the election process?
$1,000 fine bought how many fraudulent votes to throw the election?
$3,000 in fines.
At that rate, 5.2 billion in taxpayer bailout money is going to go a long way – for a long time.
Here is the ULTIMATE in Election Fraud, and it is already taking place. Obama has got ACORN to “Help” with the 2010 Census, who do you think they will count? The Re-Districting WILL give the Democrat Party at least 10 years of Power. And how much Socialism/Communism do you think they can put in place in 10 years? When they are done, MAYBE Obama will be World President according to the PARIS VOTERS!
MM,
I care a great deal about voter fraud and have a few ideas how we can combat.
Geeks who are not drinking the obambi koolaide need to form a group and run their talented cyberfingers thru voting records of every state. They need help and funding from RNC and every state GOP party and everyone else who cares to chip in. NOW is the time to start this project.
feined outrage after/during every election won’t cut it.
NOW is the time to put this project in place. First we have to scrub the rolls that exist and also monitor each and every new addition.
I am raising my hand to help with this idea or any others that people think of.
That’s great!
Too bad it’s too late. The elections over, the results certified, nothing we can do about it now.
Tre,
yes there is PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN!!!!
This is just the tip of the iceberg. You can count on the fact that the fraudulent votes were in significant numbers. Perhaps in the millions.
Maybe we should run elections like we do in Iraq…have everyone dip their finger in ink after voting, especially in areas where fraud is rampant like Ohio.
1: The media would never report this.
2: The democrats will say, “It’s only 3 people”.
3: The left knew this would happen well after it was too late to do anything about it. They planned it this way.
4: All of us are at fault, for not forcing action, when we knew this was going to be an issue.
i witnessed an acorn ahole voting in my precinct, with a temp i.d. issued by a library saying he lived in the area. in a 1.5 hour line that day, not one person knew this guy or said hi to him, and while we have a voter i.d. law that says all people are to have drivers licenses or passports, he was allowed to vote with a scrap of paper signed by some clerk. i asked the voter person why he didn’t have to show an i.d. and she said he was authorized by the absentee voter bureau. when i said he wasn’t voting absentee, i was told to move along. both the voter and the judge were black, in a city that is 98% white. but that’s just coincidink.

I agree, but it’s bigger than an iceberg. Several states, including Ohio and North Carolina, were likely “won” for Obama due to ACORN election fraud.
Repeating what I said earlier,
This is what we’ve come to: Election Day is no longer for gauging the will of the people; it’s about manipulating the results in ANY WAY POSSIBLE, ethical or not.
Robin Carnahan is trying to make it so that folks don’t need a gov’t-issued photo id to vote in MO.
Consider my blood boiled.
From Hope-a-Dope’s and the donks’ perspective, the challenge between now and 2012 is how to create a one-party system masquerading as a two-party system while simultaneously and systematically destroying the foundations of representative government and individual liberty.
It’s not an easy task, and will require a lot of fast-talking, smooth-talking, prevarication and misdirection to pull off. It’s like being a contractor hired to “renovate” a home that’s being lived in while the work is in progress, while your actual, hidden purpose is to demolish the house. You have to create just the right appearance of “remodeling” while you’re knocking out the walls so that the hapless homeowners won’t figure out what you’re doing until it’s too late.
It’s an increasingly safe bet that by November of 2012 Hope-a-Dope won’t be re-electable in a fair election. So the primary task for the donks between now and then is going to be to emplace enough rigging into enough state election systems that they’ll know going in that fairness won’t play any part in the outcome.
Once the Republicans are marginalized and criminalized, then it’s on to the next step: rigging a repeal of the 22nd Amendment. There’s a reason why Hope-a-Dope was grinning and giving Hugo Chavez the “brother blood” handshake. It’s admiration. Hugo’s doing what Hope-a-Dope intends to do.
Anyone remember Mike Royko? He was a Chicago newspaper columnist some years back. One of his commentaries was about witnessing the Chicago donkey party machine in action on election day. The shameless vote-rigging that went on in some precincts got so bad that on multiple occasions corrupt election officials would have to send their operatives to go gin up some Republican votes — precinct totals were going 100% donk.
Now, we’ve got an el Presidente who’s from … Chicago. And we’ve got a donkey party that wants to make the whole country into … Chicago.
When we lose this Republic for a totalitarian dictatorship, it won’t be to wild-eyed people shooting their way into Washington DC; it’ll be because the donks will have taken it from us one piece at a time, right out from under our noses, just like turning up the water temperature on the frog one degree at a time.
The larger the election, the more challenging it is to detect and prevent fraud.
The only part of our elected government that was originally and specifically designed to be elected by popular vote is the House of Representatives.
I support the repeal of the 17th Amendment, and having states choose Electoral College electors by some means other than statewide popular vote.
Current rules put control of the Executive Branch and both parts of the Legislative Branch in the hands of an underinformed/misinformed public. People would pay more attention to their local and state politics if their Senators and Electoral College electors were chosen by their state Legislatures.
We are a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy.
The Communists know that they have to turn us into a Democracy before they can accomplish all of their plans. They’ve been at this for about 100 years, and they’ve made a lot of progress towards their goals.
Voting is at the core of what we are as Americans. You can look at what’s going on in Minnesota as to the future of elections. Republicans are betting on 2010 to upset the apple cart, but what was seen in the last national election plus the farce in Minnesota is what the future holds.
