Power play: Federal ruling forbids states from checking voters’ citizenship

The Washington Times, by Stephen Dinan, January 18, 2014

States are vowing to go to the courts for permission to ask newly registered voters to show proof of citizenship after a federal commission ruled late Friday that it’s up to the national government, not states, to decide what to include on registration forms.

Under the motor-voter law, federal officials distribute voter-registration forms in all of the states. Arizona, Kansas and Georgia all asked that those forms request proof of citizenship, but the federal Election Assistance Commission rejected that in a 46-page ruling released late Friday, just ahead of a court-imposed deadline.

The EAC said states can check driver’s license databases or ask federal immigration authorities for information, but they cannot tell the federal government what to include on federal forms.

The Whole Story about Voter Reforms in NC

Much has been said and written about the election law reform legislation known as VIVA (Voter Identification Verification Act – HB 589) – but too many of the reports are misleading or just plain wrong.

 

The legislation was passed in the 2013 legislative session and signed by Gov. Pat McCrory in August. Mostly, the old guard media have focused on just three provisions of the new law — the voter ID requirement, the elimination of same day registration and the shortened early voting window. These three parts of the law are the most controversial, so focusing on them gives liberal advocacy groups a platform on which to continue their assault on the people who support election reform. These three items are also the main targets of several lawsuits brought against the law filed by liberal advocacy groups, including the NAACP. Attorney General Eric Holder also announced that lawyers for the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division had filed suit against the law in October.

 

But the media have never acknowledged the bigger picture: VIVA is the first comprehensive updating of our election laws in decades. North Carolina’s election system had become a jumble of complicated and sometimes contradictory laws and administrative decisions made by the State Board of Elections, often with little or no regard for the legislature. The voting process had become confusing and dysfunctional, with no built-in security to protect the integrity of a person’s vote.

Rigging the Future: Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases With No Function Beyond Gathering Potential Voter Information, Real or Fraudulent

Since the passage of Obamacare, all fifty state Medicaid agencies have been forced to create a new standalone database that contains nothing besides the contact information of Medicaid applicants who used Healthcare.gov. 

Some of these new databases mail out voter registration forms automatically. You cannot refuse them.

No worthwhile verification occurs before the forms are mailed. Apply for Medicaid and the form will be mailed to you, be you a verifiable citizen or Ayman al-Zawahiri on a computer in Pakistan.

Further, these new databases are accessible by groups like Organizing for Action, the reconstituted ACORN, and malevolent figures like Chris Tarango.

And no reasonable purpose exists for creating the databases besides making them available to the aforementioned Democratic activists.

Heard nothing regarding this before? Not only are you not alone, several state secretaries of State we contacted had no clue any of this was occurring under their watch. One source involved in the recently initiated legal battle to expose and dismantle the databases described the situation as follows:

Evil genius.

A complete disregard for certain federal law, the skirting of others, the exploitation of existing Medicaid structures, the issuing of rules and regulations with virtually none of the required paper trail. …

Just evil genius. They friggin’ thought of everything.

The remainder of this article is composed of descriptions of the several decisions made by Obamacare authors that led to the construction of the databases. The listing of these decisions is intended to illustrate the impossibility that these databases were created unintentionally, or due to incompetence — a “fumble.”

NC Voter Integrity Project

Same-Day Chaos: Nearly 5,000 NC Voters Still Not Verified Eleven Months Later

October 23, 2013

(Raleigh, NC)-OCT 23, 2013- The Voter Integrity Project-NC, released a report today suggesting that as many as 4,857 North Carolina voters in the November 2012 election may have abused the Same-Day Registration law in order to vote illegally and 2,253 of them were in Mecklenburg County.

“These voters all registered and voted during the last 19 days before the election,” said Jay DeLancy, Executive Director of the Voter Integrity Project, “but election offices were never able to verify the addresses of a significant number. This suggests that they were never residents of the state, but their votes still counted.”

Until January 2014, NC law (§ 163-82.7) requires a “tentative determination” of the voter’s identity within 48 hours, but the follow-on verification is performed by mail and takes longer to complete.

“Anybody registering and voting illegally toward the end of the Early Voting period has a pretty good chance of safely stealing a vote,” said DeLancy. “It all depends on how quickly the county board can do the mailings.”

Under current North Carolina law, if the USPS returns as “undeliverable” the verification notice sent by nonforwardable mail, the county board is required to deny the application. VIP-NC has trouble with that process, which was mandated under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act.

“Our entire electoral system hinges on all postal carriers being 100 per cent accurate by not delivering any verification letters incorrectly,” he said, “and who among us ever received a misdirected piece of mail?”

To determine the significance of the problem, VIP-NC obtained a public record showing the complete voter history of all NC voters and then screened out all except for the voters who registered at the polls during last November’s one-stop voting period.

THE RACE HUSTLERS KEEP COMING AFTER NC VOTER ID LAW

Why there is no vote fraud in NC. . .

August 18, 2013

(Raleigh, NC)—AUG 18, 2013—After finally discovering the identities of the five persons who voted twice in the November 2012 election, the Voter Integrity Project of NC is ready to announce more stunning news: We can now reveal why there is no vote fraud in North Carolina.

But first, I need to refresh the public memory on this story. . . .

In February, 2013, we completed our research as best we could (at the time) to conclude that up to 33 people who maintained dual residences in both Florida and North Carolina had voted in both states during the November 2012 election. We then forwarded the information to election officials in both states and asked them to investigate.

Don Wright, Chief Counsel to the State Board of Elections, inspired our news announcement on March 20, 2013 when he confirmed that five of our alleged double voters “[were] continuing to be criminally investigated with preparations to refer them to the appropriate District Attorney.” The story garnered coverage from John Fund at the highly regarded National Review Online and on Fox News; but perhaps because this upsetting story happened in the middle of the Legislature’s debate over voter ID, local media ignored the story.

The one exception to this news black-out was a minor amount of interest shown by WNCT-9 news producer, Jenny Moore. She asked us for the names of our “Fab Five,” but Counselor Wright denied our query in a stern reply, “As with all criminal investigations, generally the identification of persons under criminal investigation in all cases is confidential until the suspect is arrested or indicted. The present cases are referrals of criminal cases and it will be up to the District Attorneys involved to release such information they set fit.” [sic]

Sadly, our four-term Attorney General, Roy Cooper,  has shown little interest in [investigating or making referrals for] prosecuting SBoE cases of election fraud, even though the BoE has offered up hundreds of cases. So we decided to dig deeper while we hoped Cooper would do his job . . . and we struck gold!

We finally discovered that five people we submitted had names and dates of birth that were perfect matches between the Florida and NC voter histories! Without revealing any names, some details about their cases—and the NC counties from which they voted—merit elaboration.

The Wayne County Perp is the toughest case of all because of his age. He is a 91-year-old man, living in both Port Richey, Florida and Goldsboro, NC. Maybe we’re mistaken, but it appears that a man with the same name and date of birth has a stunning history of double voting in both states. His civic practice in Florida shows participation in every November election since 2002; but this registered Unaffiliated voter apparently decided to steal extra votes in NC during the 2008, 2010 and 2012 general elections.  Whether a man this old should go to jail is up to the Wayne County DA, but we would at least ask that somebody make him stop stealing votes!

Our Wake County Perp votes from [Holly Springs and from] Jacksonville, and has cast Florida ballots since 2004. In 2008, he voted absentee in NC; but did not vote that time in Florida. Perhaps the temptation was too much for this registered Democrat, so in 2012, he voted in both states.

Blust says voting changes are meant to strike a 'proper balance'

Doug Clark | Posted: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 9:23 am

The state legislature is "striking the proper balance between ease of voting and the integrity of the voting," Republican state Rep. John Blust said in an email exchange with me yesterday.

It began when Blust sent Allen Johnson and me a series of articles by conservative analysts claiming that, with these changes, North Carolina's voting laws will fall into line with those in many other states.

I sent this response to Blust:

"Is this really your best reason for supporting rollbacks in voting opportunities – because we still won’t be as bad as some other states? And now we’re seeing the next step – attacks on college students voting by local election boards.

"The intellectual dishonesty behind this movement is staggering. So far you’ve fooled the people who can’t recognize the pattern and don’t understand the cumulative impact of all these individual changes. But please don’t insult me by suggesting I should believe these actions are meant to improve our election system and 'restore confidence' in government. I’m ashamed of it and embarrassed for otherwise good people who have climbed on board because the conductors whistled."

The following is his reply. Notable is his assurance that not one single person will be prevented from voting by the new requirements and restrictions -- and also that he actually doesn't agree with all the provisions or like that they were presented on the last night of the legislative session. Nevertheless, he voted for the entire package. It is also significant that, in portraying the moves as attempts to strike a new balance between "ease of voting and the integrity of the voting," he tacitly acknowledges that the intended effect is to constrain "ease of voting."

From Blust:

"You call me intellectually dishonest and then fail to even understand the point of the articles I sent you. I think the dishonesty of the news coverage of this and several other issues is staggering! I am not arguing that we are not “as bad as other states.” My argument is that we are striking the proper balance between ease of voting and the integrity of the voting.   (EDITOR NOTE: The legislation is actually very weak in protecting voter fraud). 

We are bringing our election laws in line with other states who have struck the same balance without the Washington Post, the New York Times , and the News & Record opining about a “neo Jim Crow.” You have made it clear that attempts to strike such a balance will only be interpreted through your template – those who want to strike the proper balance must be bad people. To disagree with you is to be immediately labeled as a bad person with evil motives. The only way to be a good person is to keep on making elections chaotic and simply trust that nothing untoward will occur.

"The college early voting sites is a whole separate issue from the bill which passed the legislature. I have nothing to do with local “attacks on college students voting” as you erroneously put it. I was always able to vote quite easily while I was in college. But I can tell you I have for years heard complaints that college students ought to vote in their home towns. Are those who think college students are smart enough to vote in a precinct are bad people who do not want the students to vote at all? No it does not.

"If you want to feel insulted that I believe the changes will improve the elections then you are free to feel insulted. That is what I truly believe. People are so used to being required to show a photo ID for everything imaginable that they do not think it is a big impediment to voting – which it is not. The disgusting talk of “voter suppression” has been proven objectively in other states with the photo requirement not to be true. Plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits against photo ID (I think it was in Georgia) could not produce a single person who could say they had been prevented from voting by the ID requirement when required to do so during discovery. NOT ONE PERSON. I am sure that fact will be kept out of the News & Record – it doesn’t fit your template.

N.C. Voter Laws Would Remain More Liberal Than In Many States

'Blue' states in Northeast and Midwest deny early voting, no-excuse absentee balloting

RALEIGH — The terms “voter suppression” and “outrageous” were bandied about during the recent debate over North Carolina's voter ID and election law reforms. Editorial boards from Raleigh to New York inveighed against the alleged “intolerance” shown by North Carolina lawmakers’ electoral reforms.

But comparing election laws in North Carolina with those of other states shows that the Tar Heel State has had and — even if Gov. Pat McCrory signs House Bill 589, passed in the legislative session’s closing hours — would continue to maintain fairly liberal access to voting, especially when contrasted with several Northeastern states.

While New York Times editorialists bemoaned what they consider a mean-spirited attitude toward low-income and minority voters from the North Carolina General Assembly, the Empire State’s election laws are more restrictive than ours.

“It shows that a great deal of the criticism, frankly, is without merit,” said Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, who co-chairs the House Elections Committee.

Brent Laurenz, executive director of the N.C. Center for Voter Education, said that he believed North Carolina’s election laws helped boost voter participation in North Carolina. Laurenz said North Carolina went from being among the 10 worst states in voter participation to being 11th nationally.

Voter Integrity PAC Commercial Attacks Voter ID Bill


RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA—June 4, 2013— Today at 12:30, in front of the State Legislature, the Voter Integrity Project announces the formation of an Independent Expenditure Political Action Committee to run advertisements that demonstrate how easily a criminal enterprise could steal elections unless the NC Senate corrects flaws in the current voter ID bill (HB 589). Supporters will then fan out to distribute DVD copies of the ad to NC Senators.

“We learned from an April 10 Legislative hearing that people were showing up at the polls with no idea where they lived until they read their address off pieces of paper,” said Jay DeLancy, Executive Director of Integrity Project of North Carolina. “We decided to dramatize how large-scale voter fraud would be a simple task under House Bill 589.

One hearing witness, Louis Stannard, reported seeing “many times over” people not knowing their address until they read it off pieces of paper. Several voters he observed used freshly printed utility bills to proof their identity.

“Beyond vote fraud, we cannot explain how large numbers of people could live somewhere long enough to get a utility bill but still not know their own address,” said DeLancy.

Current law allows utility bills and bank statements to serve as voter ID, but HB 589 would require photo ID cards from 76 public colleges and universities along with expired driver’s licenses and hundreds of various government employee ID cards. The VIP-NC concern is that too many types of ID cards make it impossible for poll workers to spot a fake.

“The main impact of the current voter ID bill,” he said, “is to raise the cost of a fake ID card from a nickel to about a dollar, so our commercial will help explain the problem to the public.”

The ad, called “Stealing Hands,” shows just hands distributing fake ID cards to three different people, while the ring leader explains how they won’t get caught.

“The current bill allows hundreds of different ID’s and none of them can be verified at the polls,” DeLancy said. “With today’s technology, it’s an open invitation to use fake ID cards for stealing elections.”

The ad closes by urging viewers to contact their NC Senators and to fix the House bill. The NC Voter Integrity PAC website (www.Fix589.org) explains the details.

CCTA Watchdog Report

North Carolina Legislative Report- May 1, 2013

Dear CCTA Members and Friends,

Last week, I spent a couple of hours reading, and underlining and highlighting House Bill 589 (Edition 4), the photo ID bill which passed the North Carolina house last Wednesday.

To say I found it distressing is to practice British understatement.

First of all, Part II, Section 4 provides for way too many forms of photo ID (I think I counted about 13), and they can be as much as 10 years out of date. It is easy to imagine illegal aliens and out-of-state college students having access to some of them. It's also easy to imagine poll workers having a hard time remembering all the possibilities.

Then, there are exceptions for voters who vote curbside and for "a registered voter who has a sincerely held religious objection to being photographed." (Older parts of the code are quoted for how to handle the exceptions, and quite frankly, I did not look them up.)

I had hoped and expected that we would get something simple and straightforward. We did not.

Then, I got to Part III, Section 22 that provides for effective dates of various parts of the bill, and that was a bummer. The beginning of implementation is July 1, 2013. Great. However, it mainly applies to voter and poll worker education, and not much else.

Part II, the main photo ID part, is effective January 1, 2016. Well, at least people can voluntarily use photo IDs when voting in 2014; however, this doesn't give me much sense of security of voter integrity.

I sent off an email to Senator Norman Sanderson, Representative Michael Speciale, and Representative John Bell objecting to the sorts of things I've just been mentioning. I got a reply from Michael that makes a lot of sense even though I don't like much of it. I gather Michael doesn't really like it either.

I'll paraphrase a little, but here is what Michael told me.

North Carolina, like six other states, is saddled with the requirement to get Justice Department pre-clearance before we can change ANYTHING to do with elections. (Personally, I now think of it as the Department of In-Justice.)

Michael says that things are incorporated into the bill that were in the bills of other states whose voter ID laws have held up to scrutiny by the Justice Department and the Supreme Court.

It appears that a majority of our North Carolina House members believe that if they limit acceptable voter IDs to just U.S. passports, U. S. military IDs, and IDs issued by the state of North Carolina, our new law would not pass muster. (Seems totally unreasonable to me, but a lot that goes on in our country today is totally unreasonable. Michael tried to get an amendment with that kind of limitation passed, and it failed.)

The 2016 effective date for much of the bill is also for the purpose of avoiding having it thrown out.

Michael pointed out that the Supreme Court is considering whether to end Title V (the thing that requires us to get pre-approval from the Justice Department before we can make any changes to NC election law). He expects the Court to announce the decision in June.

Election laws were used for inappropriate discrimination when I was young, but I haven't been young for quite some time, and that sort of inappropriate discrimination is just as far in the past as my youth. If the Supreme Court is about justice, Title V will go.

Michael ended by pointing out that several states have had their voter ID laws thrown out because they were too restrictive, and said we don't want to go there. I agree, but I surely hope we can get a little closer to the edge.

The bill has now gone to the NC Senate. Let's hope some of our truly conservative Senators can put their heads together, have some additional research done, clean the bill up a bit, and still have it pass muster.

Yes, I'm impatient. I'm ready to be not just "a little less bad," I'm ready for us to be "great!"

Sincerely,

Raynor James, Watchdog Sub-Committee Chair for NC Legislature

NC: 57 of 60 Voter Challenges Sustained by Pasquotank County Board of Elections

On Thursday, April 18, 2013 the Pasquotank Board of Elections convened a hearing to address the 60 voter challenges to voters using 1704 Weeksville Road (Elizabeth City State University) as their voting address. Richard “Pete” Gilbert, Pasquotank GOP Chairman and a resident of the 4th ward brought the challenges after successfully challenging four voters on election day.

One of the main points that Mr. Gilbert made during the proceedings is the North Carolina laws regarding residency of college students. Case law in North Carolina provides the legal presumption that college students are NOT domiciled in the college town to which they go. It is a rebut-able presumption that can be overcome with the greater weight of the evidence. (from NC State Board of Election’s General Counsel, Don Wright, in his paper Residency for Election Purposes.) Case law also provides that the person alleging the change in domicile (the student) bears the burden of proof in providing evidence of the change. Proof could be a North Carolina driver’ license or form of ID or bill that bears the name of the voter and their new address. But students do not change their address. They go home on weekends and Christmas because they have not abandoned their previous domicile.

CCTA ACTION ALERT--VOTER ID

ACTION REQUEST

PHOTO VOTER IDENTIFICATION

ACT TODAY!

 If you concur with those talking points, please help the cause by taking these specific action steps before 1 PM Tuesday if at all possible.
1. Call Speaker Thom Tillis at 919-733-3451 AND send email to Thom.Tillis@ncleg.net

2. Call and email your local Representative. (They say that 20 calls to a local Rep from his/her local constituents can rattle their cage.

We need them so concerned that they will go to Tillis and ask for amendments.

3. Forward this to as many like-minded friends as you can by early Tuesday, 4/23. We need calls and emails to be received Monday afternoon and evening and Tuesday all day (preferably before the House meets at 1 PM).

TALKING POINTS - READ BEFORE CALLING OR CONTACTING REPRESENTATIVES!  

The problem with using expired licenses is discussed in detail in the document that follows these points:

1. Homeland Security regulations require an unexpired ID for financial transactions and for air travel. The ballot box deserves the same level of security.

2. Proof of US citizenship is required for all NCDLs issued after February 2006, but any license that expired before then and was not renewed is probably tied to an undocumented alien who has no right to vote in this country. The law should prevent that type of voter. This law would encourage them to return to NC and to vote.

3. While we could support expired licenses for elderly people who never intend to drive again, granting the same exception to every person invites fraud.

4. A simple solution would be to eliminate all forms of ID other than an unexpired NCDMV product, a US passport or a military ID card and let all other voters file an affidavit with a biometric (photo or fingerprint) just as larger banks already require.

5. Could we at least set a standard as high as that of Mexico and every other developed nation when it comes to "real" voter ID?
6. House Leadership is out of touch with the voters if they are not willing to fix this bill.

Thanks again for supporting this vital issue. Other than our 2nd Amendment rights, we cannot think of anything more fundamental to our state's freedom, so the time to apply pressure is upon us.

=========================

 

This is an important message from Jay DeLancy, the head of Voter Integrity Project of North Carolina.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement of this issue, that is so near and dear to our organization.

By now, you've probably heard news that the NC House is on the verge of passing a voter ID bill (HB 589), but we've been watching the bill and it has severe problems that need the right kind of pressure on Legislators in order to motivate corrective behavior. For example, the current voter ID bill has provisions that will facilitate fraudulent voting in two major ways.

We first need to have our State House amend the legislation to deny use of expired NCDMV products of any ID cards produced beyond DMV or the Federal government.

Specifically, the law says:

"§ 163-166.13. (e) As used in this section, "photo identification" means any of the following that contain a photograph of the registered voter:

(1) An identification card that bears either a date of expiration or a date of issuance and that is not more than 10 years beyond the date of expiration or issuance, whichever is later, issued by a branch, department, agency, or entity of the United States, this State, or any other state, such as any of the following:

a. A North Carolina drivers license issued under Article 2 of Chapter 20 of the General Statutes, including a learner's permit or a provisional license.

b. A special identification card for nonoperators issued under G.S. 20-37.7."

c. A United States passport.

d. An employee identification card.

e. A United States military identification card.

f. An identification card issued by The University of North Carolina or its constituent institutions.

g. An identification card issued by a North Carolina community college.

h. An identification card issued to a fireman, EMS, hospital employee, or law enforcement officer.

i. An identification card issued by a unit of local government, public authority, or special district, all as defined in G.S.159-7.

j. An identification card issued for a government program of public assistance.

VIP-NC is a trans-partisan, volunteer organization that works for "free and fair elections" by bringing more transparency to the process in order to ensure that no voters are disenfranchised. The group uses database analysis to detect irregularities in the voting records that could suggest patterns of fraud. Their research has included embarrassing the NC State Board of Elections with a discovery of almost 30,000 deceased persons still on the voter rolls; more than a hundred people who voted in the 2008 election and then later proved to the Wake County Clerk of Courts that they were not US citizens; and (most recently) 33 people who appeared to have voted in both Florida and NC for the 2012 November election-five of whom were identified by election officials for prosecution.

URGENT! VOTER ID BILL NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!

URGENT!

VOTER ID BILL NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!

It looks like Voter ID may be in trouble.

The sign-up link will be at this address: www.ncleg.net/Applications/RTS/hce.aspx

After their GOP caucus last night, the Legislature has scheduled another public forum on the issue of voter ID. Let me be clear: this is NOT the time to call Legislators. It is time to show up and be heard.

IT IS CRITICAL THAT OUR SIDE SHOWS UP FOR THE HEARING THIS TIME.

It will be in Raleigh next Wednesday, April 10 at 4 PM, Legislative Office Building Room 643 but the sign-up for this meeting will be sometime EARLY morning (Thursday, April 4). Key to getting heard at the forum is to sign up Thursday morning, 4/4, probably around 7:30 AM.

The page they used last time is probably the same one they will use tomorrow morning. The problem last time was that Rev Barbour was able to bus in his ranters who had signed up before Conservatives even knew about the link. This time we have it!

The sign-up link will be at this address: www.ncleg.net/Applications/RTS/hce.aspx

We realize that most of us have to work for a living (unlike the other side), so this will be a major sacrifice... BUT a good law is in the balance. If you, your family or your friends want to see a REAL voter ID law in NC, then please forward this to your friends and ask them to sign up early tomorrow morning. The specific time the site will go on-line is unknown, but we recommend you start clicking the link at around 7:30 and don't quit clicking the site every few minutes. We think that by 8:00 it will be live, but probably earlier, depending on what time Legislative IT employees start working.

ONCE AGAIN, HERE IS THE SIGN-UP LINK:

Civitas Institute: Elections Bureaucrats Ran Amok

In a blatantly partisan move, the staff of the North Carolina State Board of Elections (SBE) successfully subverted state law to facilitate online voter registration in North Carolina by the 2012 Barak Obama campaign.

In doing so they coordinated with partisans behind closed doors, lied about the NC Attorney General’s Office concurring with the SBE staff on the issue, and dodged oversight by their own board and the legislature. The end result was to add thousands of people to the North Carolina voter rolls illegally.

The SBE staff’s audacity is so breath-taking that it’s hard to believe, so let us emphasize: The Civitas Institute has documented how SBE bureaucrats conspired with a private company, working for the Obama campaign, to facilitate a form of online voter registration for the 2012 General Election – in violation of state law. It’s a classic example of how bureaucrats ignore the democratic process and hijack an agency for partisan purposes.


YOU MUST READ THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE!!!!  http://www.nccivitas.org/2013/elections-bureaucrats-ran-amok/

HERE’S WHY THE RNC HAS BEEN SO SILENT ABOUT RAMPANT VOTER FRAUD

Since before November’s election, many of us have been kicking and hollering about the widespread voter fraud reported, but to no avail.

First, we had complaints from voters in at least six states that their intended votes for Mitt Romney on electronic touchscreen voting machines came up as votes for President Barack Obama

• Next we had reports of noncitizens being pressured by unions to register and vote in Nevada.

• Then we had a number of voters across the country in a bit of a shock when they were told by poll workers on Election Day they had already voted, even though they hadn’t. At the same time, others bragged about voting multiple times on Twitter.

• Next, we had reports of Obama oddly getting over 99% of the vote in certain precincts on Election Day. In fact, there were a substantial number of precincts where Mitt Romney got exactly zero votes. This doesn’t make any sense.

In addition to all these reports, True the Vote also documented:

Yet despite all these reports, crickets still seem to be chirping at the Republican National Committee (RNC).

HERE’S WHY…

In the 1982 consent decree, the Republican Party made an agreement effectively barring the RNC from “engag[ing] and assist(ing) in voter fraud prevention unless the RNC obtains the court’s approval in advance.”They basically made an agreement with the Democratic Party NOT to ensure voting integrity and NOT to pursue suspected vote fraud.

The reason for the 1982 consent decree was because during the 1981 New Jersey gubernatorial election,According to The Judicial View:

“The RNC allegedly created a voter challenge list by mailing sample ballots to individuals in precincts with a high percentage of racial or ethnic minority registered voters and, then, including individuals whose postcards were returned as undeliverable on a list of voters to challenge at the polls. The RNC also allegedly enlisted the help of off-duty sheriffs and police officers to intimidate voters by standing at polling places in minority precincts during voting with National Ballot Security Task Force armbands. Some of the officers allegedly wore firearms in a visible manner.”

To settle the lawsuit, the RNC and RSC entered into the 1982 consent decree. According to True the Vote, the decree roughly states today:

▪ The RNC may only be sued by the DNC for enforcement issues;

▪ Any activity to fight voter fraud must be submitted to the courts for a 10-day preclearance process (think Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act);

▪ Voter fraud prevention or “Ballot Security” is defined as “any program aimed at combating voter fraud by preventing potential voters from registering to vote or casting a ballot;”

▪ Poll watching is defined as “stationing individuals at polling stations to observe the voting process and report irregularities unrelated to voter fraud to duly-appointed state officials” (Emphasis ours);

▪ The Decree expires December 1, 2017 – with detailed caveats.

True the Vote continues:

“After the initial agreement, the RNC tried multiple attempts to get out of the deal, amid new evidence of fraudulent voting activities and new law. Each time, however, the federal courts denied the request and ceded little room for adjusting the agreement. Though this agreement only applies to the national parties, it effectively squashes any attempt at a coordinated effort for election integrity.”

True the Vote also explains the two glaring issues with this consent decree:

• First, the decree effectively robs poll watchers (and the ballot stakeholders that put them there) of their most important function: spotting and neutralizing attempted voter fraud. Indeed, poll watchers will mostly make note of procedural errors that could have negative impacts on voters. However, poll watchers also improve overall faith in the system when electors know that ALL of the rules are being enforced.

• Second, the definition of “Ballot Security” sets an unreasonably high, yet undefined bar for what are acceptable anti-voter fraud operations. If the RNC wanted to execute a plan that prevented non-citizens from registering and voting, the courts would basically tell them to not press their luck. The RNC is effectively jammed: choosing between developing a system that the federal court and the DNC agree would be flawless or spending time and energy on developing issue ideas or get out the vote efforts. Time and money being finite, the RNC picks GOTV over “Ballot Security.”

Quite frankly, the whole thing is a mess! The Democrats can basically commit voter fraud and get away with it — without the RNC ever stepping in to do anything about it.

However, in a phone interview with Catherine Engelbrecht from True the Vote, she said, “There are some important points that need to be made though — the main one being that the 1982 consent decree only effects actions of the national party, not state or local which is where elections and ballot security should be focused anyway.”-

Letter to the Editor: Don’t Give Up! The election is not over.

Don’t Give Up! The election is not over.

December 21, 2012
The reelection of the most constitutionally destructive president in America’s history is NOT a done deal! If you are happy with the way he stole the election....many reports of voter fraud from throughout the country… put your head back in the sand and go back to sleep. If you are disappointed. you can stop it I’ve done the research. You must act NOW!

The reelection actually takes place according to the procedure described in Title 3 of the U.S. Codes, Section 15. You can check it yourself, but here are the details. Under this law, the Congress meets in joint session in the H. of Rep., the sixth day in January, following the national election that is January 6, 2013. On that day the official tally of electoral votes will be conducted, state by state in alphabetical order. At that time the president of the Senate calls out the number of electoral votes and at that time, also inquires if there are any objections.

At that very moment if one Sen. and one Rep., from any state, either party, announces their objection and presents it in writing, the tally stops, and the objection is debated, until it is resolved. Cong. Walter Jones and Sen. Richard Burr have the legal right .and justification … to object to Obama’s reelection until the evidence that has accumulated over 4 years that Obama is not eligible to be president according to Amendment II, Sec. 1, Para 5 of the U.S. Constitution is investigated and whatever appropriate action is taken according to the findings. There is no doubt of the findings.

This evidence has been accumulating for 4 years, as more facts are revealed by forensic document and computer experts, investigative professionals and other credentialed professionals, many of whom have sworn by affidavit that the documents presented ..his b.c., his Selective Service Card…16 social security numbers he has used are fraudulent. Space does not allow, but there is much more.. Unless he can refute this evidence … that is the purpose of the objections…he has perpetrated the greatest fraud upon the American people in our nation’s history. No one in Congress has the courage to call for investigation…an issue that no one wants to handle because it might jeopardize their reelection. If they don’t have the guts, they shouldn’t be sitting in Congress!

I have contacted 12 Rep. and 2 Sen. by phone and letter, petitioning them to investigate the allegations, which are public knowledge. Only Rep Jones and Sen. Burr replied with a wimpy form letter refusing to get involved. If they receive a flood of letters from many of you, they will be forced to honor their sworn oath of office to defend the Constitution and uphold the laws of the U.S. This is the greatest Constitutional issue in our history. You can help or do nothing and allow our nation to be converted to Marxism as the Imposter continues to install himself as a Dictator and destroys our freedoms. Want to know more and what to write? Contact me.
