“During his speech accepting the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, Barack Obama promised that ‘this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.’
But that’s not the only godlike power our president posseses [sic.]. Apparently, he can even get the dead to rise from the grave to vote for him [And other Democrats!].
An investigative reporter in Colorado has uncovered significant numbers of voter fraud allegations involving dead people casting ballots.
Washington Times:
‘Election sleuthing by Brian Maass of KCNC-TV in Denver exposed multiple instances in recent years where dead Coloradans were still voting. A dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, and a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Mrs. Sosa’s husband Miguel died in 2008, but a vote was cast in his name one year later [No doubt this is the tip of the iceberg. This is why Congress needs to require every State to have an approved voter ID law for ALL federal elections. Congress can not require an ID law for State elections but it can for federal elections.].
Article I Section 4 ¶
1
“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”
Article II Section 1 ¶
4
“The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.”].
‘This is the kind of thing you hear rumored, joked about in Chicago, that kind of thing,’ Mr. Maasssaid [said] during a Thursday evening broadcast. ‘Tonight, that changes. We did find voter fraud in Colorado that essentially waters down your vote [Waters down the vote of those who legally voted by accepting the votes of those who voted illegally! This is a basic undermining of a republican form of government!].’
At one point Mr. Maass’ investigation led him to the Colorado Springs home of Sarilu Sosa-Sanchez, the daughter of Mrs. Sosa. The reporter received the cold shoulder when he asked the homeowner about her mother’s ‘voting’ record.
‘Go talk to someone else,’ the woman said. ‘I don’t have to clear anything up. I don’t know what that has to do with me.’
The son of Mr. Grosso, John, was much more willing to talk.
‘I think that’s a disgrace,’ he told the station. ‘The man is dead. He can’t vote. Somebody is cheating [Duh!].’
Administrators with the Secretary of State’s Office said the veteran’s vote may have been the result of an election judge’s error, but the station said that still didn’t explain why ‘dozens of others were still listed as active voters months and sometimes years after their deaths [Because there is no effort to remove them from the voting lists! Generally, the relatives of the dead person does not notify the election authority and the election authority does not use the resources available to remove them from the lists. In Arizona, a nonvoter was suppose to be removed if not voting over a certain number of elections. I used voter lists when collecting nomination signatures. Some homes listed two or three couples who were registered to vote according to the list. Normally, only one of the couples actually lived there. The others had left at some point in time and had never been removed from the voter lists. In fact the last time I used a list, my son and daughter were listed as living in my house even though they had not lived there for approximately ten years. I’m sure that is common in most of the States!].’
‘Does this show the system is rife for fraud?’ Mr. Maass asked the secretary of state.
‘It shows that there is the potential for fraud [He sounds like a Democrat but he is actually a Republican!],’ Mr. Williams responded.
The CBS affiliate noted that voter fraud is important because often times a race is decided by a slim margin. Colorado’s 7th Congressional district came down to 121 votes out of more than 175,000 that were cast in 2002, the station reported.’
No worries. Nothing to see here ... move along, move along.
If this was simply a question of a family member casting an extra ballot using a dead relative’s name, there probably is nothing to worry about [Wrong! It is still voter fraud and it still waters down the vote!]. The examples would be isolated and not significantly affect the outcome of an election.
But what possible motive would a family member have in casting the extra ballot? Perhaps she was paid to do so? If that’s the case, election officials have a huge problem.
Multiply what happened in Colorado by 50, and you begin to see the outline of the challenge. Part of the problem is roadblocks put up by liberals to purge the voter rolls of the dead, those residents who moved out of state, and those residents who moved to a different congressional district. Most state voter rolls are a mess [From personal experience in Arizona, I have no doubt of that!], and, not surprisingly, liberals want to keep it that way [and it seems some Republicans too!].
So we’re still stuck with trying to ascertain how big this problem is. If one reporter could uncover dozens of examples of dead people still eligible to vote, you have to think the number is a lot larger than we are being led to believe. Even if the fraud amounts to one percent of votes cast, that’s 1.6 million fraudulent votes.
I would call that a significant problem, given that fraud might impact dozens of House races and a few close Senate contests [All close races from President on down. Voter fraud occurs in local races too!].
It’s always amused me that claims that voter fraud isn’t serious rely on a lack of evidence. Isn’t the whole point of voter fraud to hide evidence of the fraud from authorities [Exactly, and it is easy when no one checks to insure that the person voting is the person registered! That is why we need voter ID in EVERY State!]? What one reporter has done should be duplicated across the country, or the November election will be seen as illegitimate in the eyes of millions of Americans.”
http://dailysignal.com/2016/09/26/hundreds-of-noncitizens-on-voting-rolls-in-swing-state-of-virginia/
“The 2012 presidential race in Virginia was decided by just 3 percentage points, as was the next year’s race for governor. In both 2005 and 2013, fewer than 1,000 votes decided contests for Virginia attorney general.
Against this backdrop, watchdog groups have pushed local election officials in seven Virginia jurisdictions to reveal hundreds of noncitizens who are registered to vote. So far, they have found more than 550.
Potentially more could be found on the voters rolls, as the Public Interest Legal Foundation pursues a total of 20 counties and cities in the Old Dominion—a sampling of its 95 counties and 38 independent cities.
However, leaders of the group say the Virginia State Board of Elections has resisted release of information on ineligible voters [What a surprise! NOT!].
The Public Interest Legal Foundation represents the Virginia Voters Alliance in a lawsuit filed earlier this year against the city of Alexandria. The city prompted its suspicion after the alliance determined that more people were registered to vote in the city than eligible voters who lived there, said Noel Johnson, litigation counsel for the legal foundation.
‘These records that we are trying to get should all be available through the National Voter Registration Act,’ Johnson told The Daily Signal in a phone interview. ‘Every ineligible voter on the rolls could end up being an eligible vote that cancels out the vote of other, eligible voters. So these are high stakes.’
In most cases, Johnson said, counties respond by saying the Virginia State Board of Elections informed them not to provide information about noncitizens who are registered to vote.
Alexandria General Registrar Anna Leider, who is in charge of elections and voter registration there, said the city’s reading of Census Bureau information showed the number of voting-age adults surpassed the number of registered voters. So, city officials disagreed with the Virginia Voters Alliance on that point, she said.
‘We provided them with all of the information they have requested,’ Leider told The Daily Signal in a phone interview, referring to the alliance.
In Alexandria, election officials have removed 70 noncitizens from the voter rolls since January 2012, Leider said.
Separate from the Alexandria lawsuit, the legal foundation obtained voter information from seven of the 20 counties it is investigating.
Of the data available, the largest number of noncitizens registered to vote was in Prince William County, about 400 since 2011, before officials removed them from the rolls, Johnson said.
Other jurisdictions providing information to the Public Interest Legal Foundation were the city of Fairfax and the counties of Bedford, Hanover, Roanoke, and Stafford, which combined had about 150 noncitizens registered to vote [This is just non-citizens. It does not include those registered citizens who have died or moved from where registered!].
Virginia has moved from being a reliably Republican state in presidential elections to twice voting for President Barack Obama. This shift has prompted Democrats and Republicans to contest it as a swing state.
In June, U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia, who was appointed by resident Bill Clinton, dismissed the Virginia Voters Alliance lawsuit against Alexandria.
The lawsuit argued that Leider, the registrar, violated the National Voter Registration Act by not releasing records about city procedures for maintaining voter rolls, which the group said should be available for public inspection under the federal voter registration law. The alliance also asked that the rolls be cleaned up, in compliance with that law.
Martin Mash, spokesman for the Virginia Department of Elections, the agency supervised by the Board of Elections, at first told The Daily Signal that the department wouldn’t comment on pending litigation.
When The Daily Signal noted that the lawsuit had been dismissed, Mash again declined to comment. He referred questions on the matter to the office of Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, which [who] did not respond to phone and email inquiries. Herring is a Democrat.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation also has sought to know if these noncitizens voted in past elections, but said local governments haven’t provided the information.
‘That is not done for any canceled voter registration, not for deceased [voters], not for people who have moved out of the state,’ Leider said. ‘Past activity is not something we routinely check [Maybe they should?].’
It is a federal crime and a violation of Virginia law for noncitizens to vote [Any prosecutions of such? That is what I thought!].
The federal penalty for an ineligible voter found to have cast a vote could be a fine or imprisonment for no more than one year. Under Virginia law, it is a Class 6 felony for an ineligible voter to vote, punishable by not less than one year of imprisonment and not more than five years
‘We have had conversations with the (Alexandria) commonwealth’s attorney, but those conversations are between us and the commonwealth’s attorney,’ Leider said.
In Virginia, a commonwealth’s attorney is equivalent to a district attorney or local prosecutor.
The federal voter registration law requires state and local election officials to ‘make available for public inspection and, where available, photocopying at a reasonable cost, 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.’
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow with The Heritage Foundation, is a former member of both the election board in Fairfax County, Virginia, and the Federal Election Commission.
‘Not a single one of those noncitizens, who committed a felony under federal law, has been prosecuted [That is what I thought!],’ von Spakovsky said at a forum on voter fraud at The Heritage Foundation, referring to the findings of the legal foundation. ‘In fact, there is no indication that any of this information was ever turned over to law enforcement officials for investigation or prosecution.’
Von Spakovsky recently wrote that the Virginia State Board of Elections was engaged in a ‘cover-up’:
‘Numerous other Virginia counties have refused to provide this information to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, apparently based on instructions from the State Board of Elections and individuals working for the state Department of Elections, which the board supervises. This is what a cover-up directed by state election officials looks like. They are trying to hide hundreds, if not thousands, of instances of voter fraud that occurred on their watch.
If thousands of aliens are registered or actually voting, it would obviously undermine the national narrative that voter fraud is a myth. This would be particularly disturbing in a state like Virginia, in which statewide elections for attorney general have been decided by fewer than 1,000 votes in the last decade.’”

“Last week, Arcan Cetin, an immigrant from Turkey, shot and killed five people at a mall in Washington state. Cetin is a green card holder and not a U.S. citizen, and therefore not able to legally vote—but somehow was able to vote in the last three elections, including the presidential primary in May [Need a State voter ID card law for federal elections where proof of citizenship has been provided]!. Washington does not verify citizenship during voter registration [And neither do most States. Those that have voter ID laws do. I had to send back to Illinois when living in Texas to get proof that I was born in Illinois. Texas has a voter ID law and it seems to be a good one that is working. Naturally, a Democrat federal judge ruled portions of the law to be unconstitutional!].
KING 5, a news station in Washington, reports that federal investigators confirmed that Cetin was indeed a registered voter even though it is not legal for him to do so. They did not reveal which party, if any, he was registered to.
From KING 5 (emphasis added):
‘Federal sources confirm to KING 5 that Cetin was not a U.S. citizen, meaning legally he cannot vote. However, state records show Cetin registered to vote in 2014 and participated in three election cycles, including the May presidential primary.
Cetin, who immigrated to the United States from Turkey as a child, is considered a permanent resident or green card holder. While a permanent resident can apply for U.S. citizenship after a certain period of time, sources tell KING his status had not changed from green card holder to U.S. citizen.
While voters must attest to citizenship upon registering online or registering to vote at the Department of Licensing Office, Washington state doesn’t require proof of citizenship. Therefore elections officials say the state’s elections system operates, more or less, under an honor system. [And if one lacks honor, they are voting and watering down the votes of those who have a legal right to vote!]’
Yowza.
Personally, and this is just me speaking, I’m not exactly comfortable with a state running their elections on the honor system [Duh!]. There's no way that Cetin is the only person in the entire state who is in the voter database despite not being a citizen. It’s common sense to verify that someone can actually legally vote before giving them a ballot [It seems it is not for some judges in the federal court system!]. This shouldn’t be controversial. Plus, out in Colorado there have been multiple instances of dead people voting—another sign that something is terribly wrong with the voting system. These need to be fixed, pronto.”
http://www.inquisitr.com/3541379/ohio-voter-purge-ruled-unconstitutional-in-federal-court/
An Ohio voter purge which removed the names of tens of thousands of Ohio voters from the voter rolls has been ruled unconstitutional by a federal court of appeals, just weeks before the November Presidential election. Ohio activists claimed that the voter purge process violated the National Voter Registration Act, a position validated by the Friday decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The voter purge process in Ohio consisted of removing registered voters from the voter rolls after six years of not voting, regardless of whether or not they were still eligible. Under the National Voter Registration Act, a state can only remove voters if they request to be removed, pass away, or move out of the state [Congress has the authority to decide this for federal elections. It does not have the authority to decide this for State elections!]. According to reporting from ABC News, those removed by the Ohio voter purge were disproportionately from low income neighborhoods or neighborhoods that tended to vote for the Democratic Party [So what? Then obviously, they tend NOT to vote for six years in a row or they would not have been removed! The reason for removing them is to prevent others from voting in their place. Requiring a State voter ID card to be shown when voting would eliminate this problem.].
The lawsuit, which was filed to halt the Ohio voter purge and get the names of those taken off the rolls reinstated, was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and policy organization Demos. Named in the suit was Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who presides over all state elections. Husted has defended the voter purge policy in the past, citing the prevention of election fraud as a main concern [Of course and that is a legitimate concern!].
The suit also alleged that many Ohio voters who have not been engaged in the political process in past years will likely go to the polls this November to cast their ballots in a presidential race that is the most contentious in recent memory. These voters, the suit argues, deserve the chance to be heard in an election of this magnitude. Ohio, which controls 18 votes in the Electoral College, is a vitally important swing state. Winning over Ohio voters is a key part of the campaign strategies of both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Mike Brickner, a policy director for the Ohio ACLU, applauded the decision.
‘We don’t believe that any voters should be removed from the rolls simply because they haven’t voted in a few elections [Who cares what you believe? Six years is more than a few elections counting primaries, special elections, local, State, and federal elections]. … We hope that a plan will emerge soon to allow the tens of thousands of voters illegally purged from the rolls to vote in the upcoming presidential election,’ Brickner said in a statement.
The Hill reports that Secretary Husted, who won the suit in a lower court decision that was overruled by the Friday Court of Appeals ruling, has a very different view.
‘This ruling overturns 20 years of Ohio law and practice, which has been carried out by the last four secretaries of state, both Democrat and Republican,’ Husted said. ‘It is one thing to strike down a longstanding procedure; it is another to craft a workable remedy. To that end, if the final resolution requires us to reinstate voting eligibility to individuals who have died or moved out of Ohio, we will appeal.’
The Ohio voter purge case has been sent to a district court to outline a plan to remedy the situation and reinstate voters. It remains to be seen if the tens of thousands of people excised from the rolls will be able to vote in the upcoming election, however, which takes place nation-wide on November 8. If Secretary Husted appeals the eventual plan on grounds that it would place dead Ohioans or Ohioans that have moved out of state back on lists of registered voters, the voter purge could remain in place as the appeals process drags on past the current election cycle.”
Every State needs to have a congressionally approved voter ID card law for federal elections. Such laws will solve a lot of the voter fraud problems at the federal level IF enforced!
You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.
