Voter Fraud: Houston Fraud Just One of Many

Prevent Voter Fraud: Get involved

A voter fraud case uncovered by an amateur citizens group in Houston TX highlights one of the elections strategies of Progressives: register everyone, even the dead to hold onto power. SEIU, whose employee ran the Houston operation, and ACORN have been their shocktroops.

RHETORICAL QUESTIONS:
WHICH PARTY USUALLY BENEFITS FROM VOTER FRAUD?
WHICH PARTY WORKS TO PREVENT VOTER ID LAWS?
WHICH PARTY HAS USED SEIU and ACORN TO FOR PHONY REGISTRATIONS?

Election Day is only 36 days away and the smell of election fraud is once more in the air. It’s widespread in urban areas and absentee ballots are many times the key that unlocks the election fraud door.

One amateur group of citizens in Houston uncovered massive voter fraud perpetrated by a group headed by a SEIU employee, Steve Caddle.

Citizens’ Group Helps Uncover Alleged Rampant Voter Fraud in Houston

Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Steve Caddle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid. The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.

Caddle told local newspapers that there “had been mistakes made,” and he said he had fired 30 workers for filing defective voter registration applications. He could not be reached for this article.

In past elections, SEIU and ACORN have proved to be the shock troops of phony registrations which lead to voter fraud. During the 2008 election, both groups were instrumental in delivering fraudulent registrations and have been charged across the country in connection with fraudulent voting.

Who investigated the Houston case? A group of amateur citizens, operating with volunteers and donated computers checking the voter rolls.

Like most voter watchdog groups, she [Catherine Engelbrecht] said, her group started small. They decided to investigate voting fraud in general, not just at the polling places, and at first they weren’t even sure what to look for — and where to look for it.

“The first thing we started to do was look at houses with more than six voters in them” Engelbrecht said, because those houses were the most likely to have fraudulent registrations attached to them. “Most voting districts had 1,800 if they were Republican and 2,400 of these houses if they were Democratic . . .

“But we came across one with 24,000, and that was where we started looking.”

The widespread, systematic voter fraud perpetrated by ACORN was exposed by whistle-blower and former ACORN employee, Anita Moncrief. Moncrief’s effectiveness in describing the mechanics of ACORN–and the Left’s machinery for stealing elections–is demonstrated by the relentless attacks against her by Progressive publications such as Mother Jones and Talking Points Memo.

Even states which require photo ID at the polls on election day run into problems with voter fraud. The most common culprit? Absentee ballots, naturally.

Opportunity for fraud ripe in dealing with absentee ballots

Another report by political observer Jim Walls highlights the apparent rampant opportunity for voter fraud with Georgia’s absentee ballots. The report says fraudsters bent on circumventing Georgia’s voter photo identification requirements resort to tinkering with absentee ballots:

Who’s marking those ballots? All kinds of folks, judging from records of the State Election Board. Members last month heard at least six cases alleging candidates, campaign workers, registrars and others had improperly marked and handled hundreds of absentee votes.

Professor James J. Woodruff II, a law professor and lawyer in Florida, highlighted the problem in America’s vote fraud epidemic:

Headlines tell of the recent rash of vote fraud infecting the nation. From accusations and indictments to convictions, 2010 has been a busy year for prosecutors dealing with vote fraud issues.
Prosecutors filed charges in vote fraud cases this year from the West Coast to the East Coast and in all the regions in between. Regardless of the criminal penalties the practice is alive and well in the 21st century. The dead even rose in Ohio to cast votes in the 2008 election.

Often the basis for jokes, it should not be forgotten that vote fraud is a serious problem. An American is stripped of her civil rights every time vote fraud occurs. The injury is felt when her legally cast vote is cancelled out by the fraudulently cast vote. This leads to the core American belief of “one person, one vote” becoming a myth and places the outcomes of elections in doubt as vote fraud pervades our election process. Contrary to the belief of some, vote fraud is not a victimless crime.

What can be done by ordinary citizens to prevent voter fraud from taking hold in their communities?

Get involved. Become a poll watcher. Ask local newspapers to keep tabs on inordinately high amounts of absentee ballots. Pay attention to elections for Secretary of State.

George Soros has intentionally targeted Secretaries of State to implement candidates who favor implementing schemes which favor looser rules on who can vote and what votes can be counted.

The SOS Project’s website trumpets the fact that they’ve “won 11 of 13 Secretary of State races since 2006–including Ohio!”

Soros-backed SOS Project candidates running in 2010 include Mark Ritchie of Minnesota (of Al Franken come-from-behind-with-trunkloads-of ballots-for-Franken fame); Jocelyn Benson (MI), Debra Bowen (CA) and Michael Mauro (IA).

The last thing to do is to oppose the Universal Voting Act whenever it rears its head in Congress. [See Universal Voter Registration means Universal Voter Fraud and Universal Voting Registration: Democrat Full-Employment Act]

One of the ways to prove which party usually benefits from voter fraud is see which way the New York Times writes it up: The Myth of Voter Fraud. Who could possibly be against laws in 19 states requiring voters to prove that they are U.S. citizens?

The New York Times and the Democratic Party.

Voter fraud is real and it has been increasing.

Readers would be wise not to ignore it.
