From NewsNet5:And we have this from Detroit:
The state of Ohio is stepping in to investigate possible voter fraud in Summit County. And the Lake County prosecutor is also looking into fraud there.
The Board of Elections said the voter registration cards in question are for addresses that don't exist, spelling mistakes or have similar handwriting.
Fifty of those questionable cards apparently came from the AFL-CIO central office in Cleveland, WEWS reported.
The AFL-CIO said it's registering thousands of union members this year, and had no knowledge of the faulty cards, which are filled out by volunteers. [yeah, right... - MARK]
In the meantime in Lake County, elections officials said some voter advocacy groups are forging registration cards. [you mean, like ACT, which employs felons to register people and canvas houses?...There I go again.... - MARK]
In one example, a man who's been dead for 20 years is apparently a new registered voter.
And in another case, it looks as if an entire neighborhood will be out of town on Election Day. Everyone there applied for absentee ballots.
Overzealous or unscrupulous campaign workers in several Michigan counties are under investigation for voter-registration fraud, suspected of attempting to register nonexistent people or forging applications for already-registered voters, election and law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
Representatives from two groups whose workers have submitted apparently-fraudulent applications -- the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM) and Project Vote -- downplayed the issue Wednesday, insisting that it involved only a handful of workers and a limited number of registrations.
David Leland, national director of Project Vote, said fewer than 100 of the thousands of applications his group has collected in Detroit, Pontiac and other four other urban centers had been identified as fraudulent.
Mark's Remarks
How much fraud does it take to be 'significant'? One? A hundred? A thousand? And for the record, the two groups discussed in the article are Democrat-leaning groups.I guess they still are practicing the Daley method--unbury them, forge them, create them...anything as long as it slants for us....
One fraudulent registration undermines the integrity of the process. It is a disgrace that groups which claim to represent liberty and freedom and expression would engage in undermining the democratic process for their own gain. Of course, when you look at the leadership, it kind of makes sense....
It must be the suppression of FRAUDULENT votes that Kerry is accusing the Bush campaign of....that's the only thing that actually has any, you know, evidence....
