Secretary of State vows swift action against voter fraud

[flashl]

MARION -- They crowded into a chapel Thursday night to talk about those who sacrificed, sometimes life itself, for the right to cast votes and about those who are stealing them.

"We all have just one vote except in some counties in Alabama," Secretary of State Beth Chapman told an attentive audience that had come to the Marion Military Institute chapel to hear about election laws and alleged voter fraud in Perry County and elsewhere in the state.

In 1965, a state trooper shot Jimmy Lee Jackson to death, sparking a series of protests that helped lead to the eventual signing of the Voting Rights Act. Thursday night, in the same city, people came to the event sponsored by the Perry County and Hale County chapters of the Democracy Defense League to talk about how their right to vote was once again being abused -- this time through voter fraud and stolen elections.

Chapman, the state's chief election official, recently formed a voter fraud unit in her office after reports flooded in following the June 3 Alabama primaries.

1. Not So Much Voter Fraud as Voter Supression and Vote COUNTER Fraud

2. In other words, Election fraud.

Real voter fraud is almost non existent. Election fraud on the other hand has been rampant since 2000, as evidenced by the actions of the criminals in the White House.
