Voting: "You believe me, don't you?�

Well, it turns out “till death do you part� may be true in marriage, but not when voting for Democrats.
The dead are very loyal Democrats.

A recent newspaper investigation into voter fraud in Wisconsin found this.

• 200 felons voted illegally
• more than 100 voted twice or used fake names and addresses
• there were 4,600 more ballots than registered voters in Milwaukee alone (giving it the prize for the highest percentage of voter participation.)
• ballots were cast using the names of dead people
• 1,200 people voted from invalid addresses
• thousands of ballots were cast from people who registered the same day with no required proof of who they are.
• an activist and admitted illegal alien was named a deputy registrar of voters in Racine and worked with a Hispanic organization to meet a goal of 20,000 new voters for their interests--no proof of citizenship required.

Just which party do you think benefited the most from this?

Let’s see, John Kerry won Wisconsin’s ten electoral votes by 11,000 votes�an improvement over Al Gore’s winning margin of only 850 votes. In the Milwaukee area, there were 277,000 ballots with Kerry receiving 71% of those. There were a minimum of 36,000 votes in that city for which no voters could be produced. I suspect that Bush had the majority of the honest votes in that state, and it would have been another stolen election by the Democrats if Wisconsin had tipped the presidential election in their favor.

When the Democrats say that we don't need to fix the election process, what they really mean is that they want to fix the elections.

But, the task force looking into this blamed the problems on “sloppy record-keeping and poor training for poll workers, who were overwhelmed by thousands of absentee ballots.� So, there will be no criminal investigations or arrests. That reminds me of the scene in “National Lampoon’s Vacation� when Clark Griswold gives his son, Rusy, an incredulous reason for being caught naked in the pool with Christy Brinkley. (Any reason is good enough for me.) Clark asked, “You believe me, don’t you, Rusty?� Rusty replied with something like, “I believe you, Dad. (Then pauses.) Do you think Mom will buy it!?� Well, I feel as if the voter task force is standing there dripping wet and asking me to buy it. Only in the movies should that work.

How serious is this Wisconsin vote problem (can we call it fraud, yet)? Well, I did a google search with the words “Wisconsin,� “vote,� and “fraud.� Since that turned up 291,000 results, I can’t post this under breaking news. Fraud was predicted before the race because of loose elections laws. The dire predictions became true. Here’s a site that has a chronological series of posts on this -- “Pull on Superman’s Cape.�

How can this be corrected? Well, the Republicans in the state legislature passed bills this year requiring identification to vote, but the Democratic governor, not wanting to lose a large voter base (felons, illegals, the dead, etc.), vetoed that. The Republicans will try again, just as Congress should be trying to insure a correct voting process.

This is important for another reason. When the Democrats pretend to care when they say, "Count every vote and every vote counts," they forget that when you count illegal votes, then that makes yours and my legal ones worth less.

If this isn’t corrected soon, after 2008 you might be hearing the term “Madame President.�
