The biggest electoral fraudsters are the right-wing groups out trying to pass initiatives and referenda on taxes, “sanctity of heterosexual marriage”, English First, and anti-immigrant/anti-minority issues. Most States are fairly liberal when it comes to allowing “improper” unregistered names on petitions. But even allowing up to 20% of the signatures on a petition to be duplicates, out-of-county, unregistered, and simply created “fraudulent” voters, audits show that Republican financed groups often have 30%-50% of the signatures that are illegal.

And yet the Repugs freak about a handful of self-reported and self-”flagged” registration forms that never even were finalized? That had names so bogus that no one would think they were legal, or would have been impossible to successfully pass inspection (i.e. someone who registered at the same address 20 times would have been denied long before they ever were able to actually sign in at the precinct).

Just who was it that attempted to convince the Minnesota Supreme Court that an absentee vote made by some guys girlfriend who had illegally sent in registration materials signing his name was a “legal vote”? It wasn’t Franken, BTW. Then it was discovered that this guy had actually voted in person. Not only did Coleman’s Repug lawyers try to pull a fraud over the court, but they attempted to double-up on it.

After the political assassination of progressive Senator Paul Wellstone (D - Minn) in 2002, the door was open for the Republican criminal regime to seize control of the US Senate. And so it was done, with electronically rigged election thefts in Georgia and Minnesota. So Norm Coleman never was an honestly-elected representative of the citizens of Minnesota.

Actually, just do a search on Chuck Hagel in Nebraska and you can learn about how this Republican stole his Senate seat electronically - back in 1996 or 1997. His company’s machines “counted the votes.” Republicans electronically stole elections in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

We need to return to 100% hand-counted paper ballots in all of our elections. We need to have observers that can watch the ballot/vote counting to ensure honesty. Now the recently stolen election in Iran featured some forty million votes “counted” in about three hours, with no scanners or any other aid. However, only the regime’s power structure “counted” the votes. When tyrants “count the votes,” tyrants will.

Gary Sinise has great potential. More than Fred Thompson or the guy from Loveboat and at least as much star power as Sonny Bono had at the time.

Meanwhile, JEB, and his son George P Bush are strategizing the Bush comeback.

Many voters will be stupid enough to vote for either of them.

Unless we can get the Katherine Harris’s and the Blackwell’s out of the State Secretary positions, we will obviously have more problems in tight races.

Plunger is right. It looks like Rove is teaching Steele some of his rhetorical tricks like Projection.

I’d like to see Soros sue his ass off for this. That’s a court case I’d like to watch unfold.

AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Blue Texan and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

It is imperative that Obama mobilize the troops to ram through all appointments to the federal courts includin’ the SCOTUS immediately…I don’t care how many other legislative items are on the agenda ‘cuz unless we purge the court system of the crypto-Nazi Federalist Society stooges there won’t be another federal office filled by election, they’ll all be done in the courts.

The coup of November 1980 was consolidated in the 1990’s and we’re lookin’ at the American version of the last days of Weimar.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, NOT ALL FASCISTS CALL THEMSELVES REPUBLICANS!!

The fundies will hold their nose, they’ll be so desperate to rid themselves of the closet Muslim/Marxist/pro-abortionist.

One really has to work at it to get the site to load. I had many problems with it too. The link at comment 23 works.

I did NOT know that her district was up for re-alignment but speculation over the last few days about her new rant on the census that her district would in fact cease to exist if she got enough of the current folks in that district to actually not respond to the census questions!!

Either way, her district going away would be a hoot !!

Excellent. A rich white guy. And a Mormon to boot. I don’t suppose religion will be an issue during that campaign.
