The Pentagon’s Inspector General discovered nearly half of U.S. military bases abroad lack offices where troops can register to vote or apply for absentee ballots. The Pentagon’s report notes the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act, which President Barack Obama signed into law in 2009, requires an installation voting assistance office (IVAO) on every military base that is not in a war zone.
The Pentagon attempted to contact the offices at 229 military bases, but could only reach 114 IVAOs. Republicans have accused the the Obama administration, which just recently sued to make it more difficult for military voters to vote in Ohio, of not doing all that it could to implement the voter-assistance offices because military voters tend to vote for Republicans.
The Military Voter Protection Project last month discovered military requests for absentee ballots were lower in swing states like Florida than they were in 2008.

STEAL THE VOTE
Election Day fraud found all over U.S.
Complaints of illegal votes, bribes, ballot irregularities commonplace

During each election cycle, news stories emerge of voter irregularities and ballot malfunctions, prompting volunteer organizations to fight what they say is rampant fraud, while many authorities and other organizations dismiss the charges as unfounded.
2010 is proving no different.
An organization called Minnesota Majority, for example, claims it found hundreds of ineligible votes by convicted felons cast in the 2008 election, possibly turning the tide in the very narrowly decided election of Sen. Al Franken.
But Dan McGrath, executive director of TakeAction Minnesota, told the St. Paul Legal Ledger, "There is no evidence of any sort of systemic voter fraud in this state. … There's barely any evidence of voter fraud at all."
Now Minnesota is a hotbed of controversy again, as Fox News reports officials are investigating an allegation that mentally disabled voters in Crow Wing County were coached by their attendants to cast ballots for specific candidates. The charges say attendants even filled out the ballots themselves for people so incapacitated they may not have even been eligible to vote in the first place.
Other investigations from around the country have also arisen, including the following:
Kentucky's Lexington Herald-Reader reports state officials received over 100 calls to a voter fraud hotline from 46 counties by early this afternoon. The state's attorney general's office told the paper the calls ran the gamut – complaints about voting machines and election officials, electioneering, general election fraud, disrupting the polls and more. Four counties even had allegations of vote buying.
In the heated race in Nevada between Democratic Sen. Harry Reid and GOP challenger Sharron Angle, the Associated Press reports, Republican Party legal counsel has already filed a 44-page complaint alleging voter logs in a pair of counties showed the number of ballots cast was larger than the number of voters who signed the election registers. Furthermore, Angle's campaign has alleged Reid and Democratic union backers were illegally buying votes with free food and Starbucks gift cards in repeated e-mails to supporters.
Angle's lawyers have also filed a complaint with the Justice Department alleging casino executives sympathetic to Reid put pressure on union employees to vote, even telling bosses to "put a headlock" on supervisors to make sure their workers vote.
In Houston, Texas, a volunteer watchdog organization discovered evidence another organization had registered as many as 23,000 phony voter registrations in Harris County, including a woman who registered six times in the same day, registrations of non-citizens and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.
In North Carolina, Washington's WITN-TV reports, a federal judge ordered written notices placed on voting machines after a string of complaints that voting machines were "flipping" straight-ticket Republican votes to straight-ticket Democrat votes was verified.
In Pennsylvania, letters from Bucks County Democratic Party falsely warned voters they may not be eligible to vote unless they sent their absentee ballot applications into a Party post office box, rather than county voter registration office.
Colorado's Greeley Gazette reports a Democratic Get Out The Vote volunteer offering to pay postage on people's absentee ballots, a violation of state law.
In Prairie du Chien, Wis., a man is charged with filling out multiple absentee ballots.
And as WND has reported, delays in overseas ballots for the military that resulted in thousands of soldiers' votes not counting in the 2008 election still haven't been fully fixed for 2010.
Dozens of other allegations of voting irregularities have come in from WND readers, who have filed their personal stories and observations with WND's Voter Fraud Hotline:
Kate from Pennsylvania reports poll workers insisting that a straight-party vote is required.
Elizabeth in Philadelphia reports a voting assistance attendant helping the elderly … with an "official Democratic ballot" in her hand.
Chris in Nevada reports waiting for 15 minutes for the ballot reader to process, eventually leaving the polling place without being able to register a vote.
Robert in Illinois reports a poll worker telling a voter he was not allowed to take personal notes into the polling booth.
Greg in North Carolina reports confirmation of the electronic voting machines switching straight-ticket Republican votes to straight-ticket Democrat votes.
Mike in Washington reports absentee ballots being returned to senders too late to count because of insufficient postage.
Thus far, America's two major political parties have taken different public stances on the voter fraud issue.
Democratic National Committee National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan told ABC News, "We have confidence that voters are going to be able to go to the polls and have their votes counted and we are working with partners and officials at all levels to ensure that's the case."
Republicans, however, told ABC News, "[Fraud is] a concern for us every cycle. It's a concern I think in particular this cycle because we have close races in states where historically we've had issues – Illinois, Pennsylvania and Washington State."

ALERT..Ellison Video Busted Lying and Leaves Stage
On Thursday, October 28, Election Integrity Watch filed a federal lawsuit against an illegal and unconstitutional policy instituted by Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, blocking people from voting if they are wearing “Tea Party” apparel or “Election Integrity Watch / Please ID Me” buttons.

A WISE LADY ADVISES US ABOUT VOTING AND FRAUD
Dear Friends and Patriots,
A friend who is a very faithful voter and Patriot just found in checking his voting history according to the Board of Elections that the records show he had voted early in the past election. He told me that he has NEVER voted early. He and his family have always gone together to the polls on Election Day. He remembers voting on election day (as he has always done in the past) and placed his ballot in the machine as he was leaving. As usual, the machine let him know what number he was in the polls.
My friend is naturally very upset and has called the Board of Elections and has requested a copy of both signatures. (The signature from the early voting and his signature on Election Day.) Obviously, there is something very WRONG here. Does this mean that his vote ALSO counted since the machine also accepted his ballot? We don’t know, but he is going to follow up. He is expecting the Board of Elections to give him feedback. My friend in speaking with two other gentlemen today found out that their information in the Board of Elections website was ALSO INCORRECT. IMAGINE THAT!
I spoke to another Patriot friend who is very active in getting the vote out. She happened to be speaking to an elderly lady on the phone and found out that this elderly lady had always voted in person. And yet, the computer showed that she had voted by absentee ballot in the past (I think she told me) four elections. NOW, how could this be? I encourage each one of you to take the time to search the records in the Board of Elections in your state (Hopefully, this should be available online. I am going to verify mine also.) If it is not correct take the time to call your BOE and request the same information. We have a right to find out what has happened in instances such as these. I think that if we voice our findings and have them provide us the information, they will wear themselves out and hopefully see how critical it is to make sure that the computer is checked BEFORE THE ELECTION in case it is taking TWO OR MORE votes for one name. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE CHECKED. (Some of you have already found out that there were over 100,000 votes that were fraud in North Carolina in 2008, 8,000 were from Wake County. This is factual information that came from the BOE) Hopefully after the election we can pursue new legislation that will require proof of id.
Friends and Patriots, as you can see these are REAL people who are discovering a fraud situation with the election that has affected their vote. I am sure that we need to find out what happened to their vote when the ballot machine took in their ballot and gave them a number. Please KNOW that with the law that is in place that does not require voters to show their ID at the polls it gives an advantage to those that don’t mind voting EARLY and OFTEN.
PLEASE take VOTING EARLY VERY SERIOUSLY. KNOW that there ARE early voting places that will be starting as early as next week at the Board of Elections in your state and the following week at a polling place NEAR YOU. Please do your duty to VOTE EARLY to MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS. In the meantime, my friend is going to pursue finding out WHY the ballot machine did not kick out the second vote. Please SHARE this information with everyone you know and take time to find out who your conservative judges are so that you know what the names of the judges are when you go and vote. They need our support. Voting a straight ticket DOES NOT INCLUDE THE JUDGES. They are non-partisan and they need your vote! Please do your part to make sure GOOD judges are elected.
GOD BLESS YOU and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
