Voter fraud is everywhere

Only if Obama loses will it get investigated. Check out this news video story from Atlanta about how many Georgians are voting in Florida or Ohio, both battle ground states. This morning on the radio I heard a very disturbing interview with John Fund about fraud in Wisconsin. In Ohio with the same day register and vote "golden week," it was golden for fraud. Even people like BuckeyeRINO who went to vote early said he could understand why they are careful on election day and so sloppy during early voting.
    The early voting environment in my county doesn’t lend itself to confidence in the integrity of the system that Jennifer Brunner has provided us with. No matter how the elections turn out, there will still be questions raised about how they were conducted. My early voting experience in Erie County was, at the least, unsettling.
My son said he voted early at Vet's Memorial last week (before the early rush) and was surprised no one asked for ID especially since he had moved since registering. In Ohio they're accepting park benches as addresses for the homeless. Tough to mail a confirmation to a bench. You can never match up a vote with a registration, so how will Brunner stop this fraud?

I was supposed to be a poll watcher today, but the new rules made that virtually impossible unless you can be on your feet from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.--they won't allow shifts.
    Due to the clarification issued by the Franklin County board of elections, effective Monday, October 27, 2008--Each political party is limited to one poll observer per precinct for the ENTIRE DAY. If you are receiving this email you have been scheduled for a half day shift and we are going to have to ask you to commit to the entire shift. We understand that working the entire day is a sizeable obligation. If you are NOT able to fulfill this commitment please reply to this email by 3pm Tuesday, October 28, 2008.
Most of the center left Democrats I know would not want fraud, but will they object? Would they get as angry as they did about the Supreme Court returning the decision to Florida about hanging chads, after ballots were handled multiple times in trying to determine the intention of the voter couldn't possibly be what was shown on the ballot? Unless Democrats raise the objections, I don't think we'll hear a peep from the Obamachine.

Both parties have teams of lawyers ready to go, just as they did in 2000, when the investigation would have moved on to another state even though each recount still came up with Bush as the winner. Ohio Democrats cried buckets in 2004, despite the significant advantage that Bush had. They couldn't believe their own polls or post voting surveys which had given Kerry an advantage could be wrong. Our press is useless--we have to rely on student news media and bloggers, which is just silly. Maybe one of the 3rd party candidates could investigate voter fraud--doesn't look like AG's of the winning party will do it.

Murray sez:
We emphasis the importance of voting and how it assures us some stability in a Democracy yet we leave it so exposed to fraud. Fraud that nobody cares to investigate. Is it asking too much to have a voter prove who he is and where he lives? We also discourage voting by not having enough polls thus requiring people to stand in line for hours. Then we have the electoral college that can go against the majority. It's a system that needs changed but it's apparent both parties like it that way!
The 2008 presidential outcome provides the citizens with exactly what they deserve.

The reports I was getting yesterday from bloggers in the various Ohio counties was scary. But especially the lack of controls for early voting. I'm undecided on the electoral college, because most of the corruption seems to be in the metropolitan areas which in turn would invalidate some of the smaller populated states.
