Voter Fraud, Will ACORN Ever Be Held Accountable?
It’s getting harder and harder to believe if the government or the Democrat cronies will ever hold any institutions, organizations, or politicians on their side, accountable for their corrupt actions. Michelle Malkin posted earlier on Attny. General Eric Holder’s latest judiciary decisions regarding the Black Panthers, and his ruling on Georgia voter verification. The US Justice Department is also considering the release of two convicted corruptocrats in Alaska. I’m not sure what is going on anymore these days…
It would come as no surprise to me if Eric Holder decides to exonerate ACORN, even if found guilty of such a heinous federal crime. ACORN is currently facing charges brought against them in several states, the latest of which concerns 4 ACORN employees charged with voter fraud.
Four former ACORN workers in western Pennsylvania will face trial on charges that they forged, illegally solicited or illegally filled out voter registration cards before the November election.
That’s after a court hearing in Pittsburgh on Friday.
Twenty-year-old Pittsburgh resident Eric Jones waved his preliminary hearing. Three others were held for trial: 23-year-old West Mifflin resident Alexis Givner and two Pittsburgh residents, 21-year-old Ashley Clarke and 28-year-old Mario Grisom.
Prosecutors charged seven ACORN workers in May. One had already been ordered to stand trial and two others had their preliminary hearings postponed.
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has also come under scrutiny for registration irregularities in other states.
Now take for example the most current discovery in Minnesota, a state that was won narrowly last November… They have found that close to 3K voter registrations were illegal (not including imaginary characters like Mickey or Minnie). They registered approximately 3K dead people! I think the Democrats are getting their ideas from “Black Sheep” the Chris Farley movie!
A review of Minnesota’s statewide database of registered voters revealed at least 2,812 deceased individuals voted in last November’s general election, according to a new report by the “traditional values” advocacy group Minnesota Majority.
After obtaining the list of voters who participated in November’s election, the group hired an independent firm who specializes in “death suppression” for direct mailing lists to review the data. The process, which involved matching names and addresses to state death records, bore troubling results.
According to Minnesota statute 201.13, the commissioner of health is to report monthly the name, address, date of birth, and county of residence of voting-age deceased residents to the secretary of state.
Presumably the commissioner of health would not issue incomplete reports (read: no motive), the blame then falls elsewhere – namely, at the feet of Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, whose partisan leanings and curious alliance with vote fraud-magnet ACORN are becoming more salient by the day.
This needs to stop and it needs to be stopped now! Is it that hard to have a fair election where one person = one vote?
NY Congressional Race: Dem’s Block Military Ballots from Overseas
Democrats on the state elections board blocked GOP attempts to allow overseas military voting in the special election. Overseas ballots take weeks to reach voters and be returned unless special measures are taken to speed things up. But the elections officials refused to do anything to speed things up, or mail the ballots out early enough. The result is that perhaps 90 percent of the ballots will be tossed in the trash without ever being counted (Military ballots are cast mostly for Republican candidates).
The exclusion of these ballots violates a federal law known as UOCAVA, but the Justice Department filed only a “Potemkin Village” lawsuit in response, seeking a brief, cosmetic extension of time for returning the ballots — an extension that will result in only a handful of the wrongfully-excluded military ballots being counted. The Justice Department could easily have sought and obtained broader, more meaningful relief, as it did on several occasions during the Bush Administration. But it didn’t want to, for partisan political reasons.
So much for Obama’s campaign promise to defend the right of every American to vote (Obama’s Justice Department is also not interested in protecting the voting rights of white people denied the right to vote by black political bosses in predominantly-black counties).
This is just one facet of the continuing politicization of the Justice Department, which is now blessing unconstitutional bills that even liberal legal scholars admit violate the plain language of the Constitution.
So as usual, the “transparency” of the Democrats is as clear as Mississippi River water. The old motto win at any cost, even the at the expense of our Constitution. Where is the ACLU now? Oh yeah, that would benefit a conservative Republican candidate….
Senate GOP Considers Filibuster of Obama Judicial Nominee Who Compared Pregnancy to Slavery
President Obama’s nominee to head the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel once compared “forced pregnancy” with slavery. Now Republicans are considering a filibuster to block her confirmation.
The controversy stems from comments made 20 years ago by Dawn Johnsen, a law professor at Indiana University, whose nomination is pending before the full Senate.
In a brief filed when she was a lawyer with the National Abortion Rights Action League, Johnsen cited a footnote that said forcing women to bear children was “disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the 13th Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state’s asserted interest.”
At least 45 House Republicans have co-signed a letter to Obama asking him to withdraw Johnsen’s nomination because of her “brazen” abortion rights stance.
NARAL said this week it is mobilizing its nationwide network of activists and supporters to pressure the Senate to confirm Johnsen and two other Obama nominees — Judge David Hamilton and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius — and stop what it deems attacks on nominees who support abortion rights. Filibusters won’t be tolerated, the group said.
“The use of the ‘F’ word when referring to any of these nominees is unacceptable — and this threat will not go unanswered,” NARAL president Nancy Keenan said in a press release
But during the Bush Administration, how many appointees were filibusterd? How hypocritical can they be?
This party is so out of wack, it is just scarry.
