Vote Early and Often

One example of how the Democrat’s permissive attitude toward voter fraud has emboldened Republican campaign operatives is being played out in California in the campaign of Tan D. Nguyen, a Republican challenger to Democratic U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez. The LA Times reported on Wednesday that Hispanic voters were receiving letters in their mailboxes warning them that it was illegal for them to vote and that they would be arrested and deported if they showed up at the polls. The actual text of the flyer, written in Spanish states: "You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time." Of course there is no law preventing immigrants with legal status to vote. It is also noteworthy that only registered Democrats received the letters.

The story in the paper precipitated a federal and state investigation which revealed today that the letters were linked to Republican Nguyen’s office. Nguyen declined to comment on the illegal mailing. Look for more of these sleazy illegal tricks to come oozing out of tight races all over the country. Speaking of dirty tricks...

While Daily Kos and other lefty bloggers have dedicated their recent postings to the analysis of every poll showing upward Democratic movement in tight Congressional races, arguably the more important story about the potential for massive voter this fall has gone underreported. The Times had a great story on the issue in today’s paper; just follow this link. The most salient point made in the story from my perspective is that “votes in about half of the 45 most competitive Congressional races, including contests in Florida, Georgia and Indiana, will be cast on electronic machines that provide no independent means of verification. “In a close race, a machine error in one precinct could leave the results in doubt and the losing candidates won’t be able to get a recount,” said Warren Stewart, policy director for VoteTrustUSA, an advocacy group that has criticized electronic voting.”

Remember, they stole two presidential elections already so what’s to stop them from a little fraud during the mid-terms?
