Its virtually axiomatic. Anytime the GOP attacks Democrats about an issue you can count they are engaging in an unscrupulous activity at massive levels. Today its nationwide voter fraud, probably being produced by a firm, whom the GOP has paid in excess of $3 million to date to engage in this across the nation and specifically in toss up states. Simply the GOP is trying to steal the election from American voters. More GOP paid for voter fraud was found in the past week or so than 2 years of hard research by the extremist Republican Governor of the state over the last two years The GOP spread money to this firm through state GOP groups to conduct fraudulent voter registration in swing states: Colorado, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Ohio. The firm has not yet been paid in Wisconsin and Ohio. Here is how the owner of this firm described being hired by the GOP: The GOP knew he was a crook, albeit an effective crook, and tried to hide the name and origin of the firm. Sproul was reportedly paid up to $8 million during 2004 by the GOP and Bush campaign. (If being a crook works once....keep trying it.---Seems like an appropriate motto for the GOP) Meanwhile in California there are additional claims of regional GOP inspired voter fraud Apparently this is standard operating process among Republicans. In California in a local area the GOP is trying to twist the election and financial results by duping people into being registered as a Republican when they have no intention of doing so The Riverside, Cal situation is another example of the GOP trying to steal an election. The expensive GOP funded voter registration project is being funded by these election thiefs: Here is the reaction of one person who was lied to with regard to registration: During the Bush administration the political operatives in the Justice Department spent 4 years trying to prosecute Democrats for voter fraud. When the attorneys partially tasked with this job failed to find any examples they were all fired for political reasons. Major scandal. The GOP/Bush administration tried to turn the Department of Justice into a Soviet styled political attack organization. Now for the past 2 years states under GOP political control have been screaming voter fraud, finding nothing, and disenfranchising voters. The GOP simply wants to cut down on voters that don't like its agenda. After 150 years of trying to expand the vote to all Americans the GOP is trying to restrict voting to its supporters. Damn the rest. ....and then of course they spread millions of dollars to unscrupulous firms to further disenfranchise voters and Americans. I suppose if Mitt Romney tells his rich friends he doesn't care about one half of Americans...he and his GOP buddies are going to make sure these people can't vote. This is easily the closest thing to an effort at Soviet styled One Party Rule you will ever see.
The investigation into widespread GOP voter fraud efforts is widening. North Carolina is now looking into activities by the problematic firm: http://video.msnbc.msn.com/martin-bashir/49247261/#49247261
I wonder if they were trying to be like... [video=youtube;NO4b-5BlheQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO4b-5BlheQ[/video]
Its a bit hard to compare the two. * Acorn used taxpayer dollars * Strategic Allied was paid by the RNC * Acorn was recorded on video * Strategic Allied is being investigated over irregularities * The RNC immediately fired Strategic Allied once allegations surfaced * The Democrats actively fought in Congress to prevent Acorn's funding from being cut * Acorn continues to operate to this very day, albeit without taxpayer funding * Nathan Sproul is likely done for should these allegations prove to be true Speaking of voter registration irregularities, what do you make of this? Do you think the military and overseas voters, who tend to favor Republicans have become disinterested in this election en-masse?
Honestly, I couldn't say. The military tends to favor Republicans. And, it's true that the DOD appears to be in violation of the MOVE Act to provide assistance to military voters for this election. Although, I think intentional Military voter suppression (influenced by the Obama administration) would be more evident if there were a significant change in assistance (for the worst) from the past election.
70% drop is more than "significant". There's no way in hell 7 outta 10 decided they just dont care this time.
Alright, but I said: The level of assistance appears to be about the same(maybe slightly better compared to last election). The writer of the article Obamanation quoted seems to be saying that the cause is not fully implementing the Move act. And, based upon this, I've read other articles that suggest the Obama administration is suppressing the military vote. It doesn't add up, at least not by the evidence they're providing. They weren't implementing it in 2008 either. Yet, in 2008 they had a much higher number of military voters request absentee ballots. So, I don't get it. What has changed? If he is doing something to cause this, I don't see how it could have anything to do with the MOVE act, and I'm not aware of any other evidence being presented besides this. That's all I was trying to say.
Rebecca, I agree, it is hard to see the smoking gun here. All we have is the corpse with bullet holes in it. Check this out: Basically, Obama has almost no support among the military, yet somehow or other, all the military folks stationed overseas were not interested in voting in this very close election. Very strange.
With statistics like that, Obama should just resign. I mean, if he truly wants to support the troops. lol. But seriously, the numbers for the absentee ballot requests are discouraging. Certainly, you'd think the military should have a higher voter percentage.
Given the choice, I'm sure they would. I dont for a minute believe the 70 percent drop was a choice. It defies human nature, and when an explanation does that, there's generally a better explanation.
It is strange. Even when they request the absentee ballot, they don't always get it. In the same article (in the middle) it says: So maybe they can still vote by email in VA?? Not really sure.
