Tally is rising in registration fraud

The verifiable number is now up to 536 Democrats who were fraudulently reregistered as Republicans by bounty hunters paid for each new voter they brought to the GOP.

But based on phone calls made by a Democratic Party volunteer to warn of the fraud, the ultimate number could top 1,000.

An aggressive voter registration drive in the central part of the county this spring, funded by the county GOP, attracted the scofflaw signature gatherers. Some victims noticed the problem when they received registration update cards from county Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley or letters from county GOP Chairman Scott Baugh welcoming them to the party.

If half of all the fraud victims are unaware, there could be 1,000 or more victims in all.

& R

D candidate (or for the progressive D candidate).

The R want the weaker (or most conservative) D to win in the primaries so that their R challenger will be more likely to win (or the seat will be filled by a conservative D if not the R).

If you have to be a registered D to vote in the Democratic Primary, then if the R re-register you as an R - you can't vote in the primary - or you get to cast a provisional ballot which gets tossed.

and I saw it happen at least nine times.

Democrats, in a minority neighborhood, that were FLOORED when they were told that they were registered as Libertarian or NP.

I talked to at least 1o people that were in shock.

I have no way of knowing how many others were tricked this way.

Shameful!

I did report it on my Survey sheet at the end of the evening.

So far, no one has contacted me about it.

my name wasn't on the rolls and expected me to go away.

Three different people "read" the rolls and said, "Nope, you're not here. Sorry."

So, I relieved them of the book and found it right away exactly where it was supposed to be. :mad:

you raised holy hell to the poll workers, and loud enough for anyone around to hear?

a child and I thought voting was easy. :(

The poll workers didn't even blink.

in the newspaper story, or the author of the newspaper story? Sound the alarm! In a way, the situation reminds me of the GOP as a pedophile who treatens a child, warns them not to tell. The *most* important thing we can all do is RUN AND TELL, then tell on them again and again and again.

We. know. what. you. did. last Spring. We. know. what. you. are. planning. this. Fall.

We. see. you. We. will. not. be. silent. We. will. tell.

I just sent a letter to Congresswoman Diane Watson today.

But I am still one voice and I know they are going to mess with the votes again.

that is ultimately huge. 10 people?

We have to check with McCormack :( whether a voter can verify his/her information. I think it is this new registration data system that is screwing things up.
This has to be publicized and alert voters to make sure their information is correct before November.

:mad:

which they discard. This in the general election. If Ohio is any indicator.
Then they use these "repub" registrations to pad repub vote.

so, if anyone trys to use statistical tools to look for a trend, it will be offset by the shadow GOP registrations.

except for a shift in party affiliations. Statistically, it would appear to be a red shift.

one day, the suckers run out.

They need the fake registrations. Looking at the number of fake registrations might indicate which precincts they intend to flip.

It would be an interesting post mortem to compare the data. I don't think the registration drives are random. It is a very calculated move to set the election up.

Though that might have served some purpose in hiding their trails, but if the real purpose was to get all of these voters to go through the newer "throw out a lot of voters" DMV matching algorithms in Bruce McPherson's voter reg matching programs that throws out voters if their name and address info doesn't match from their driver's license with what's submitted through voter registratrion. That could be far worse in that many of these voters could have been tossed out altogether and not able to vote at all. If that is so, then it would be heavily throwing out Dem voters, even though it looks like they are Republicans.

Has anyone looked into how these "reregistrations" went through that filter? It was reported that 26% statewide were being thrown out and as much as 43% in L.A. were being thrown out (where this fraud was really going on heavily). I think this is where the real criminal intent of this effort lay.

your information. if, on election day, you find out you are registered ot the wrong party and change back your information, you will have to cast a provisional vote. Chances are it won't be counted. in addition, if one were to cheat in an election, the information on how many republicans voted would be larger than the truth, facillitating fraud.

... Could this have any bearing on the recent election in San diego to replace 'Puke Cunningham?

this would make the vote appear reasonable...k&r

You make a good point here.

it will be even easier to make those needed changes!
