Democrat Trickery: Fake Mich. Tea Party Mastermind Resigns

August 26, 2010 by 6 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a see-I-told-you-so moment, one of the organizers of fake Tea Party candidates that got on the 2010 ballot in Michigan has been fully revealed to be a Democrat attempting an election dirty trick.

Back in May I wrote of the sudden appearance of a Tea Party petition effort being shopped about to voters in Michigan. The petition was trying to get official recognition for a new political party, the Tea Party as it was being called. The petitions aimed to get enough signatures on petitions for the state to then certify it as a real party.

The petition was being passed by a petition firm that works largely for Michigan Democrats. At that time I then said that this was obviously a Democrat dirty trick meant to confuse voters and split the Republican vote in Michigan.

2 Chicago Democrats Convicted of Vote Fraud

August 5, 2010 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Two political workers for Chicago Alderman Bernard Stone (50th Ward) have been convicted of vote fraud and were sentenced to one year in jail on August 4.

The pair were convicted of attempting to manipulate absentee ballots in Stone’s tough 2007 re-election campaign.

The workers, Anish Epsen, 40, and Armando Ramos, 36, were given 364 days and 270 days respectively, convicted of attempted absentee ballot violations, a misdemeanor. The pair faced several felony charges, but the judge only sentenced them on the misdemeanor charges.

Instructive is the reaction of boss Stone.

Fake Michigan Tea Party Acting Spoiler for Republicans?

July 29, 2010 by 6 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

Back in May I posted a report on what seemed to be a fake tea party group circulating petitions in the state of Michigan to get themselves recognized as an official political party.

The group circulating the petition, Progressive Campaigns, Inc., had long-time connections to the Michigan Democrat Party and at that time no one in the various Michigan tea party groups had any knowledge of this new so-called Tea Party petition effort.

Now the Detroit Free Press is reporting that a United Auto Workers union member named Mark Steffek has filed papers with the state announcing that this so-called Tea Party has had a “convention” and is fielding a slate of candidates for the 2010 elections.

A Warning on Electronic Voting

January 31, 2010 by

(Publius Editor’s note: This is a fairly old report on the troubles with electronic voting so some of the links are no longer valid, but the work was pretty comprehensive so I thought some of it might be of interest to those worried about electronic voting. I had this sent to me by a reader and I told him I’d post it but I have been waiting to post this until we were close to the primary. Since it is only a few days away now, so here it is…)

Pandora’s Black Box, Did it Really Count Your Vote?
Relevance – November 1996 – Vol. III- No. V

Editor: Philip M. O’Halloran

[Editor’s Note: When we began researching the integrity of the election process, we wanted to believe that the talk of “votescam” was just overblown hype. However, we have since discovered that the computer voting system in this country is a veritable can of worms, so open to tampering that if there is no organized election fraud going on, the criminals are falling down on the job.]

ELECTRONIC VOTING ON TRIAL

On November 5, 1996, millions of Americans voted by secret ballot for thousands of elected officials from the Presidency to the local dog catcher. What few realized is that a key aspect of the vote-counting was also done in secret. What’s more, they have been legally denied the right to find out precisely how their vote is counted.

How can this be? After all, everybody knows that each aspect of the vote-count is officially conducted by “the government under the microscopic scrutiny of thousands of party officials, anxious candidates, poll workers, curious voters and the media, right?

Ohio Election Fraud: Convicted Felons Illegally Worked for Anti-Smoking Initiative

December 7, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

A just finished audit has shown that massive fraud and multiple violations of Ohio’s voting law has been uncovered in a recent ballot initiative effort. Among other violations, 47 felons were hired illegally by the advocacy group SmokeFree America to collect signatures for issue five, a ballot initiative to ban smoking in Ohio’s small businesses. Kidnappers, thieves and rapists were hired to collect signatures and addresses despite the fact that Ohio election law prohibits felons from working as petition workers. Additionally, the smoking ban was approved for being included on the Ohio ballot by state officials despite the fact that thousands of signatures were invalid and despite the fact that SmokeFree America did not meet lawful requirements. These violations were easily discovered and some of them were known by officials proving that complicit state officials quietly supported the ballot push and turned a blind eye to law breaking by the anti-smoking advocacy group.

Ohio election law prohibits convicted felons from working as petition workers, yet 47 felons have been discovered as employees of SmokeFree America in its Ohio effort. Of these felons several were convicted of rape, one accused of raping a child. Alarmingly, SmokeFree America exposed Ohio residents to rapists who were collecting their signatures and addresses! There were also forgers and thieves collecting signatures and addresses of Ohio residents. Other criminal actions by petition workers: arson, burglary, breaking and entering, weapons violations, kidnapping, drug violations, drug trafficking, grand theft, etc.

The petitions also had multiple violations of Ohio election law. Some petitions were signed by those paid to circulate the petitions — a violation of the law — and their addresses were given as hotels instead of the required permanent home addresses. Also some were out-of-state signatories instead of Ohio residents.

Obama Group Still Racking Up Voter Fraud Indictments/Convictions

May 8, 2009 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Association of Community Activists for Reform Now (ACORN) is still racking up indictments and convictions for voter fraud across the nation. ACORN is closely tied to President Obama, he having worked for them when he lived in Chicago and they having heavily supported his candidacy. Additionally, former ACORN members have flocked to the Obama administration since his win in November last.

For instance, in Obama’s old home state of Illinois, a woman that works for an ACORN offshoot group has been charged by Lake County officials (the County just north of Chicago’s Cook County) with filing fake voter registration cards.

Barney Frank Repudiates Own Anti-ACORN Support

May 2, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Michael O’Brien over at The Hill is reporting that Congressman Barney Frank (D, Mass.) is backtracking on his previous support of Rep. Michelle Bachmann’s (R, Minn.) bill that would prevent federal money from going to the corruption plagued Association of Community Activists for Reform Now (ACORN).

Bachmann had initially gotten Frank’s support for a bill that would toughen regulations on community organizers preventing groups like ACORN from getting federal money if any of its employees came under indictment for voter fraud.

But this week Frank pulled his support saying he will instead back an amendment that prevents federal funding for groups with employee convictions, not just indictments.

Franklin County, Ohio Vote 2008: Final Report

November 4, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Well, my final assessment for the voting in Franklin County, Ohio (in the capitol city of Ohio, Columbus) is… everything went smoothly for the most part.

I visited half a dozen different precincts in the city and what was striking was the low numbers of voters throughout. Even into the 6PM hour the crowds were low. Only the early morning saw the numbers a little higher with up to two hours wait, but only for a short time.

There is one major reason for this: early voting. For some ridiculous reason, Franklin County had early voting all the way until midnight on the 3rd. Then, the polls opened for regular voting at 6:30 on the 4th. This took a tremendous number of voters away from voting on the actual election-day.

100,000 Georgians Also Registered to Vote in Ohio, Other States

November 4, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Action 2 News WSB TV Atlanta took the entire month of August to look over the voter roles and discovered 100,000 Georgians registered to vote in Georgia and other states. They also found at least three voters that voted in Georgia as well as another state. (see video)

The News 2 report reminds us all that there is no national data base so that the various states can purge their voter lists of citizens that no longer live in a previous state yet have re-registered in their new state.

After this election the states need to get together and compare voter roles. It is so easy to game the system it’s unbelievable.

Ohio: Absentee Ballots With Errors To be Sent Back to Voters

November 4, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Ohio Sec. of State Jennifer Brunner has ruled that any absentee ballots with errors sent in from Franklin County will cause the voter to be notified after election-day. An estimated 5,000 Franklin County residents who cast ballots with errors will be effected.

Last night, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner issued a directive ordering counties to notify Ohioans who forgot to sign the envelope, used the wrong number from their driver’s license or made other simple mistakes and give them a chance to correct the defects by Nov. 14.

Franklin County was one County that had stopped processing ballots with errors.

Ohio: My Second Precinct Visit

November 4, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

My second visit today was at Franklin County’s Precinct 17. At 11AM the place had but a handful of voters. As the polls opened the poll workers tell me that the wait never got longer than 2 hours and even that didn’t last long.

We have to remember here that Franklin County didn’t even close down the “early” voting until last night! So, it is looking like the large number that voted “early” over the last few days helped lighten the load today. We’ll have to see what happens a little later this evening.

There were a gaggle of Obama workers near precinct 17 and when a new voter walked up they’d run over near the entrance to give out Democrat sample ballots., but their station was far eoungh away from the entrance to satisfy law.

My First visit today was at Franklin County’s Precinct 14. Interestingly, the polling place is in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker’s Local office. 23 West 2nd Avenue, Columbus. There’s always something so wrong with having a polling place at a union hall, isn’t there?

Naturally, there were Obama/Biden signs everywhere you turned. There was even a fellow handing out sample Democratic ballots. He was wearing a T-Shirt advertising for John A. Connor for the Court of Appeals.

I voted last Monday

November 3, 2008 by 3 Comments

-By Daniel Williamson, Buckeyerino.wordpress.com

I voted during the early voting period last Monday, a week ago from today.

Should I thank Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner for an atmosphere simultaneously conducive to both vote fraud and vote suppression? Or, was what I witnessed solely the creation of the Erie County Board of Elections? Rumblings from various parts of the state suggest that the integrity of Ohio’s election systems are being questioned beyond just Erie County.

Check out this Cuyahoga County story about thousands of dead voters told by the television reporters at Cleveland’s Newsnet 5.

For even more news on the topic of election fraud, I recommend a visit to Vote Fraud Squad. They have a clearinghouse of such stories at their site.

Ohio Vote Fraud: The Dead Voting In Cleveland

November 3, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Every election the TV news folks in Cleveland run stories about dead people voting. Usually, they note that these registrations are mere clerical errors. Often times they are right, too. Let’s face it, government rarely works well. But this year TV5 in Cleveland has found at least one dead voter that is voting as a result of fraud, not just government incompetence… even though the TV report doesn’t focus properly on the fact.

Despite having passed away in 1993, TV5 discovered that Alex Holmes, Sr. voted in the past primary elections. Holmes’ son also voted properly in the primaries, so TV5 notes that this is obviously not a clerical error.

TV5 goes on to discuss the dead voting in its report, but after the fist few sentences, the curious case of Alex Holmes, Sr. voting disappears from the story.

But, here is the thing. Obviously someone took this deceased man’s identity and voted in Cleveland. Cleveland is in Cuyahoga County, hotbed of ACORN vote fraud efforts. TV5 noted that “13,000 dead voters registered in Cuyahoga County” for the 2006 elections and that was before the monstrously illegal efforts of ACORN in the county.

John Fund on ACORN’s Ohio Vote Fraud

November 3, 2008 by 3 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

Wall Street Journal mainstay, Jon Fund, has been doing yeoman’s work on vote fraud for years. His work is always not to be missed and today at Politico, Fund has a piece headlined Falsified registrations become votes. It’s another great piece.
Fund’s piece takes us on a discovery of vote fraud across the country, so it is a must read. But, since we are chiefly interested in Ohio, here is the relevant bit:

There are already documented examples of fraudulent registrations being converted into fraudulent votes in Ohio, where ACORN and other groups were active. Darrell Nash, an ACORN registration worker, submitted an illegal form for himself and then cast a paper ballot during the state’s “early voting” period.

Franklin County prosecutor Ron O’Brien also cracked down in the case of 13 out-of-state registrants who came to Ohio to register voters in Columbus for the group Vote From Home. The group all lived out of the same rented 1,175-square-foot house in Ohio, registered to vote and then most of them either cast early voting ballots or submitted applications for absentee ballots before leaving the state. They have agreed to have all of their ballots canceled in exchange for the prosecutor’s decision not to file charges.

The Columbus Dispatch reported last month that “none of them seems to have ties to Ohio” — and apparently had no intention of staying there. One has even moved back to England, where he is a student. It is illegal in almost all states to vote somewhere that is not your permanent residence.

Ohio Pizza Joint Supplies Free Pizza to Voters… But Who’s Paying This Bill?

It is being reported on FreeRepublic that Donatos Pizza had been carting in free pizza to hundreds of voters waiting in line to vote in Columbus Ohio. At Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium, in Columbus, Ohio early voters had been waiting in lines sometimes for hours to pull that lever.

The Freeper reported that the lines were filled with vocal Obama supporters in that Obama town. But, the question is: did Donatos Pizza offer these slices for free out of the goodness of their hearts, or did someone pay for all these “free” pizzas?

Ohio: Out-of-State Voters not Cross-Checked With Out-of-State Votes

November 2, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that up to 65,000 ballots were sent from Ohio to voters in other states that are still registered in Ohio despite living elsewhere. But, there is no system to cross-check these out-of-state voters to see if they are registered and/or have voted in other states.

As the Plain Dealer notes, Ben Piscitelli, a spokesman for the Franklin County Board of Elections said, “We don’t check out-of-state absentee voters to determine if they’ve voted outside Ohio.”

This could have an effect on the out come in Ohio.

NY Activist Caught in Ohio Vote Fraud Claims Innocence

November 2, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Oct. 30, I reported on the vote fraud perpetrated in Ohio by Democrat activist Amy Little from New York. Miss Little, at the time a paid consultant of New York representative John Hall (D-Dover Plains, NY), had registered to vote in Ohio for the 2008 elections. But, the address she was using was not a home or apartment. It was the address of the storefront headquarters of a leftist get-out-the-vote group.

Ohio voting law states that to register to vote in Ohio one must be a resident, not a visitor. Miss Little has a permanent home in New Platz, New York and has no intention of becoming a resident of Ohio, therefore her registration in Ohio clearly broke the law.

When news got out of her attempt to defraud Ohio, she was fired by her political boss in New York and her voter registration in Ohio voided.

But, here is the newest wrinkle in the tale. Little claims she’s innocent of any wrong doing. Imagine that… a Democrat that refuses to admit lawbreaking. Hard to believe, I know.

Ohio Voter Dead Since 2007 Registered in Nearby County, Voted in March Primary

November 1, 2008 by 2 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

Last Thursday, Becky Grimes of WHIO TV in Dayton reported about the large number of dead voters still on the rolls in the area. She also reported that a Greene County voter that had passed away in February of 2007 had been discovered registered in nearby Montgomery County and had mysteriously voted in the primaries last March.

George and Jean Watts of Beavercreek were stunned to find out that their deceased daughter Nancy, voted in the March 4th primary. Jean Watts said, “I couldn’t believe it. She’s been dead almost two years.”

But, what the TV report didn’t bother to mention is that the Ohio voter in question was a Republican when alive, but was a newly registered Democrat this time around.

It is also quite interesting to note that the vote cast by the deceased Nancy Watts had migrated from one county to another. When alive, Miss Watts was a Greene County resident that voted Republican. But, this time she was registered in Montgomery County and was voting Democrat. This is not evidence of voter rolls that just have yet to be properly purged, it is evidence of fraud. The TV report simply did not make that clear.

I was contacted by a friend of the Watts’ and they would like the real story to be reported. Someone specifically stole the identity of their departed daughter in order to pump up votes for Democrats.

Representative John Boehner (R., 8th Dist., Ohio) is calling for U.S. prosecutors to monitor polls in Ohio on Tuesday. Boehner has been increasingly worried over vote fraud and has tried several ways to assure the election in Ohio is legal and fair.

He has been met with resistance in the Attorney General’s office, however. AG Michael Mukasey has refused to involve his department in any vote fraud issues in Ohio. Boehner blames this reticence on Obama partisans that work in the AG’s office.

Ohio Vote Fraud: Trouble With 70 Absentee Ballots in Miami County

November 1, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

County election officials are trying to unravel how 70 ballots containing filled out votes were returned unsigned to officials on Friday. It appears that some of these ballots were never in possession of the voters who were supposed to have filled them out and sent them back in, the Dayton Daily News is reporting.

What the question appears to be is where these ballots have been before being turned in to have the votes tallied? Many of the voters these 70 ballots were destined for never got them. Yet, mysteriously, they’ve been turned in filled out with votes? The obvious conclusion is that someone in the Post Office stole these ballots, preventing them from being delivered, and then filled them out hoping that the votes would be assumed to be legal votes.

Illegal Democrat Electioneering at Ohio Polls, Butler County

October 31, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

From one of our associates in the field named Dolores (forwarded to me by Thea Shoemake) we get this report of Obama workers canvassing and electioneering among those standing in line to vote today. To be sure this sort of stuff is illegal within the polling area. All such activities have to be far outside the actual polling place, not just in Ohio, but in all states.

Folks,

Ok, now I’m officially scared. This afternoon I went to vote early at the Butler County Board of Elections and found a line with an estimated wait of over an hour.

The voting officials suggested coming back at a later time.

I decided to go back tonight and waited a total of 1 1/2 hours before I could actually vote. There were a lot of interesting things going on while everyone was waiting in line…Obama campaigners were going up and down the long lines handing out candy and water bottles (I don’t think this is allowed so very close to the voting area! We were inside the building in line the whole time this was going on!).

There were huge groups of Obama supporters in line in front of me and behind me literally recruiting people while standing in line, to volunteer over the weekend to do door to door canvasing and election day work.

This is the sort of illegal activity that poll watchers are supposed to report. But, the poll workers in Butler County neglected their duty, for sure.

Ohio Secretary of State Linked to ACORN, Project Vote

Connie Hair reports Partisan Ohio Sec. of State is linked to ACORN! This is outrageous that this Sec. of State, one standing in the way of a fair and honest vote in Ohio is linked with one of the most notoriously lawbreaking get-out-the-vote groups in the country.

Ohio Secretary of State Linked to ACORN, Project Vote
by Connie Hair, Human Events

The national development director for Project Vote, an affiliated organization of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has been linked to embattled Ohio Secretary of State, Democrat Jennifer Brunner. Karyn Gillette of Project Vote was a campaign consultant for the Brunner campaign, according to information found in a post made by Rick Brunner on April 11, 2006 on the secretary of state’s own blog.

“Our candidate had gone earlier in the day to have some meetings and work out of Karyn Gillette’s office, but when your correspondent arrived in his S-10 pickup truck, our staff person, Lauren, drove that back to Columbus, while we continued on to dinner with Craig Bashiene and John Lancione. We were accompanied by our consultant, Karyn Gillette. Karyn and her business partner, Mary Grace, have been very helpful to the campaign.”

The links between Gillette and Brunner do not end there.

Feds: Brunner Doesn’t Have to Reveal Voter Mismatches

October 31, 2008 by 2 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

The U.S. Justice Dept. will probably not intervene before election day in Ohio to force Sec. of State Jennifer Brunner to verify new voter registrations, her office announced on Thursday.

The dispute between the GOP with Rep. John Boehner in the lead and Brunner, a Democrat, concerns the fate of thousands of new voter registrations that are incomplete or have conflicting information on them.

Brunner maintains that there isn’t time to verify the legality of the registrations and also claims that her computer database is not capable to achieve the task of weeding out these “mismatches.” For his part, Rep. Boehner is concerned that vote fraud is endemic among these faulty registration cards.

Brunner claims that there will be plenty of time after the election to fix the computer databases… of course, by then the vote fraud will have had plenty of time to influence the election in favor of Barack Obama.

“I’m disappointed by the Justice Department’s refusal to stop Secretary Brunner’s calculated effort to undermine the integrity of Ohio’s election,” Boehner said.

Prosecutor: If You Don’t Live in Ohio, DON’T Vote Here

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien warned the various political campaigns that have help hired from outside the state of Ohio that they’d better not vote in Ohio unless they’ve elected to live in Ohio permanently.

O’Brien has spoken to both Republican and Democrat campaigns as well as several get-out-the-vote groups working in Ohio.

“One thing that is crystal-clear is the law — if you are a temporary resident or a visitor, you are not entitled to register to vote and you’re not entitled to vote,” O’Brien, a Republican, told The Dispatch yesterday.

As the Columbus Dispatch notes, this comes on the heels of quite a few vote fraud news in the Buckeye State.

Obama, Alinsky and voter fraud in Ohio

Palestra.net has been doing some great reporting about voter fraud and questionable activities in Columbus, especially in the last 7 days when people could both register and vote on the same day.

I’ve just seen this video with Tiffany Wilson, also from Palestra.net, reporting to Fox News about a conversation with a volunteer who was encouraging people to vote for Obama.

Wilson said the volunteer was from Faith Vote Columbus, a non-partisan organization doing get-out-the-vote efforts.
