Did you send in an absentee ballot in Missouri?
If you have, and have not yet received it, leave a comment or send me an email.
Ours hasn't arrived yet. I hope it's an oversight. Maybe it's because the SecState's office is burdened with Acorn business.
Update: FoxNews is running a story on the counties in Missouri where registrations outnumber voters. Keep in mind the Bush Justice Department sued in 2004 over the failure to clean up voter registration rolls, and Robin Carnahan, with the help of Nanette Laughrey, was able to defeat the suit with the idea that it wasn't the Secretary of State's job to clean up rolls. It was the individual county's job. That suit is on appeal.
Do note that Robin Carnahan could have come out and said that over registration was a problem. She could have used her position and her office to put presure on the governor or the state legislature to make funds available to the counties to clean up their rolls. But she doesn't.
Her office works in collaboration with Project Vote, SEIU, and ACORN to defeat the Voter ID act, and the hires employees from those groups to staff her offices. In any sane world, the press would be asking her these questions. In our world, they're still fixated on the idea that voter registration fraud is not the same as vote fraud.
Think vote fraud doesn't happen? In 1982, the city of Chicago had a massive vote fraud case where as many as 100,000 fraudulent votess were cast, and the FBI concluded this has been going on for decades. One of the ways they did this was to wait until the polls close, then have poll workers feed ballots into the machines on behalf of registered voters who didn't show.
There's a reason that every election year, Democratic lawyers sue to keep the polls open late in heavily Democratic districts. Is it to allow everyone to vote, or is it to wait until the vote counting is over in other districts?
In rare moments of truth, Democratic officials let the truth slip. Remember Montana's governor, Brian Schweitzer, who bragged to a group of trial lawyers that he kept counting votes until they got the result they wanted? Oops.
“ ‘I want you to listen, I want you to listen close,’ ” Mr. Schweitzer said he told Ms. McMahon. “ ‘I’ll call you when you’re done counting — now do you understand it?’ ” The lawyers laughed. “She’s from Butte — she understood exactly,” Mr. Schweitzer said.
Vote fraud is something that cannot be ignored, but it can be obscured, as Democrats scream "vote suppression," and try to accuse Republicans of being racist. That silly ACORN ad out today accusing John McCain of practicing 1960's type vote suppresson is a prime example. Can't win an argument? Call your opponent a racist.
At some point, the American people are going to have to wake up to the fact that large numbers of elected Democrats are attempting to build structural changes in counting votes to prepare for vote fraud. That it hasn't been proven on a large scale doesn't mean it hasn't occurred, or won't occur.
After all - in 1980 - I'm sure Illinois Democrats were claiming that no vote fraud was occurring. Will 2008 be Missouri's 1982?
Hello!
