Republican U.S. House Staffers Indicted for Felony Election Fraud as GOP Fraud Epidemic Continues

MI prosecutors: 'Blatant', 'disgraceful' aides 'lost moral compass', were 'completely indifferent to requirements of law'
ALSO: 10+ recent cases of voter fraud by very high-profile GOPers

Given disenfranchising polling place Photo ID restriction laws Republicans have enacted in nearly a dozen states over the past year, you'd think there was an epidemic of Democratic "voter fraud" in this nation. That's certainly the way the GOP has framed it, fooled the corporate mainstream media into reporting it, and even scammed the White House and Congressional Democrats into going along with it when they signed legislation that defunded ACORN, a four-decade old community organization never found to have committed voter fraud, or even helped to see a single fraudulent vote cast in any election anywhere.

As it turns out, not only is there no such epidemic of Democratic voter fraud, but the opposite is true. Over the past year, very high profile Republicans --- including this year's presumed standard bearer, Mitt Romney; the Sec. of State of Indiana (the first state to institute polling place Photo ID restrictions) Charlie White; one time GOP front-runner Newt Gingrich; MO's new GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate Todd Akin; and the group hired the Sacramento, CA Republican Party to collect voter registrations this year for Rep. Dan Lungren; among others (all detailed below) --- have each been revealed as having committed or participated in election fraud --- both voter registration fraud and actual voter fraud --- in state after state.

One might even call it "an epidemic". Or, if you prefer, "one of the greatest frauds in voter history, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy," as then GOP Presidential nominee John McCain described what Republicans pretended ACORN was doing back in 2008 (just before it was revealed he had previously been the group's keynote speaker where he told ACORN's members they were "what makes America special.&quot

...

With each new case of high-profile Republican Election Fraud that has emerged over the past year or so, we've tried to summarize the most notable. Here then, as a public service, is a quick round-up of many (but by no means all!) of the high profile cases, most of which --- ironically enough, and unlike imaginary cases of "Democratic voter fraud" --- you probably have not have even heard about...

Next up on the list: Mitt Romney, followed by Indiana Secy of State Charlie White. Voter fraud - it's a Republican core value.

3. The issue here is ...

... filing fraudulent petitions to get their candidate on the ballot. It looks like this was not the first time they've done this, just the first time they got caught.

Do you know what kind of sentences they would get for this?

18. In a rational world?

"Voting irregularities" have been excuses for us to go in and invade countries in times past. It's roughly equivalent to treason, so you'd think at least 30 years and a King's ransom in fines.

I bet most of them never see the inside of a cell, and the people they put in office stay there. GWB comes to mind.

4. How about some of this election fraud JUSTICE spreading across Lake Michigan to WI?

5. If this scum is bitching about it, that means they're already doing it!

6. Just what I was going to comment - they warn us time after time what they are up to but we just

don't pay attention. Everything that *any* 'pug says, no matter how small and insignificant needs to parsed and sent to our Congress person, Senator, Obama campaign, whomever. They have told us time after time what their agenda actually is.

7. I've noticed it seems every time the repukes accuses someone of something wrong

you can be assured the repukes are already guilty of it.

11. I'm STILL angry over how FAST the Democratic Party Leadership abandonned ACORN,

....and threw them to the wolves.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

12. Yep, a golden opportunity was squandered. We could have saved ACORN and ....

... exposed O'Keefe, Brietbart, et al, as the scummy propagandists there are/were.

Huge mistake by the Democrats.

13. Why does everyone LOOK THE OTHER WAY when the GOP blatantly cheats?

It's maddening.

[99Forever]

15. The words ...

Corrupt and paid off come to mind.

16. So it turns out voter fraud is really just another case or GOP projection.

Might we be able to apply this as a rule from now on?

17. Election FRAUD was provable in the 2000 election,

...and probable in Ohio in 2004.
You would think that Secure Elections would be a Red Hot Front Burner Issue with the Democratic Party,
and, yet, not a PEEP from the party leadership.
Deafening Silence.
You have to go waaaaaay out on the Left Wing Fringe to find a Democrat even willing to talk about "Secure, Accountable, Transparent Elections",
and HE got "redistricted" and exiled.
There are MORE opaque, Black Box Voting Machines and Tabulators with Secret, Proprietary, Privately Owned Code counting our votes and reporting the "WINNER" than there were in 2008.

With over 92% of the American people supporting Transparent, Verifiable Elections,
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x446445
...this would be and easy WIN/WIN for whichever politicians made this and issue.

But No.
Venezuela has transparent, verifiable elections.
So does every single developed country in the World,
but we are stuck with another "Uniquely American Solution" when it comes to OUR elections.

Does this scare anyone else but me?
