Beware of Democrats Changing Voting Methods

Whenever Democrats want a change in the voting process, you can bet that it's not because they actually believe the change is fair or that it is good for democracy. One recent notable case was trying to make every Arizona voter eligible for a million dollar lottery. Vote for us! We'll give you a million dollars! There are many cases of rushing to register illegal aliens and multiple law suits to fight voter identification laws. Sure we'll let you vote without an ID, but you better have one to buy cigarettes! They know that illegal votes and fraud helps Democrats. You do, too.

The latest crusade for voting change comes from Oregon's Democratic Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, who is writing and campaigning with other Democrats and the usual suspects to have all states adopt the new Oregon voting process of vote by mail. Watch out.

This month, as controversies emerged in other parts of the country over polling place problems and malfunctioning touch-screen machines, we here in Oregon prepared to swear in a new crop of elected officials with nary a question about the legitimacy of the count or the functioning of our electoral process. We accomplished this with a turnout on Nov. 7 that was, once again, among the highest in the nation. How? With Vote by Mail.

The system has proven to be fraud-free.

Oh, really? I can see substantial abuses of this system using underhanded tactics common to Democrats. Let's see. What types of voting controls are they trying to circumvent and what kinds of abuses do they plan?

▪Campaigning at the polls not allowed. So, come to our voting party at Democratic headquarters! Refreshments and free door prizes! Oh, you're young. It's a rock concert!
▪No liquor sales on election day discourages bribes. Sign your ballot and give it to us. Have a drink...and a smoke.
▪Protection of the mentally incompetent and elderly. Sign your ballot and give it to us. We really came to the nursing home to help you with your civic duty.
▪Canvassing inner city neighborhoods. Sign your ballot and give it to us. We're the ones who give you public housing and welfare benefits. Not, enough? Sign it and here's ten dollars. Or, can't read? Don't blame us for the public schools. Give me your ballot.
▪Illegal alien? No problem. Motor-Voter gets you a ballot with a drivers license. No further checking for ID's at the poll. LOL
▪One ballot for one voter. Multiple ballots have actually gone to individual voters. So, use them. Who's to know?
▪Secret ballot safe from intimidation. Come on down to the union hall. You were voting for the Democrats anyway, so show us and we'll mail it for you. The union bosses will be showng the movie on Jimmy Hoffa.
▪Pressure from religious organizations. Come to our place of worship to fill out your ballots, give them to us to mail, and join our suicide-bomber group. (We keep losing members.) Or, Sen. Kerry will speak at the Antioch AME Church, and we will help you vote for him.
▪Absentee ballots privacy concerns are optional (opt-in), not mandatory (opt-out.) Well, your mom wanted to have an absentee ballot because she's leaving town, but if she wasn't, we'll make sure that her voting privacy is still compromised.
▪All voters get ballots. Oh, heck. We had a mailing foul-up and the zip codes for Republicans will get ballots late. Or, oops. We left out some pages for those Republican zip codes.
▪Voter identification protection. Don't think that we can forge signatures? Just watch.
▪Felons voting. We'll make sure that your ballot gets forwarded to your prison. We think you should vote--for us.
▪What's to fix? Voting system not broken. Yes it is. Mail-in votes stops Republican fraud--like in Ohio. Was fraud against Republicans proved? Yes, according to liberal blogs. Oh.
▪Mail in ballots Can be matched to voter. Your name is on the envelope and we saw the ballot from it when it was "carelessly" handled in the election office. You must not want tenure very much.
▪Dead voters. Doesn't matter. All dead voters are Democrats. This way they don't have to be dragged to the polls.
▪Ballots not lost in polling place. You can trust the USPS to deliver your ballot on time, and trust the election supervisor's office to mark it received on time--maybe. Except the military.

I'm stopping, even thought I know there's more. These people and others see fraud abuse with vote by mail, too. I'm not alone.

To me, it's a sign of potential fraud when the "turnout" percentage of eligible voters suddenly jumps to eighty-four percent! Those who commit fraud would want to say this is a good sign of voter particpation. I say that it's a sign that they have taken the voting controls and checks out of sight of the poll watchers and into the alleys and backrooms (and, a lot of formerly disinterested voters are suddenly casting uninformed votes.) Democracy demands honest elections with informed voters using secret ballots and with controls against abuse. The Democrats want to undo that for their own ends. If one naively claims that the Republicans could do this too, it only adds more weight that the new mail-in system is bad. If there are problems with our current voting procedures, there are better ways to fix them than this.

Call me crazy, but I don't trust the Democrats. Don't let this mandatory mail-in voting method gain momentum. It sounds great--for abuse. But, Democrat Bill Bradbury stated, "The system has proven to be fraud-free." Why would he say something that isn't true?
