Voter Fraud Review - Part 1

One of the most important cornerstones of our country and our democracy is the ability to elect people to office to carry out the wishes of the citizenry. The bedrock of that concept is that one person has one vote which makes all of us equal under this doctrine, rich or poor, white or black, young or old, every vote should be legitimate and count as one person voicing their own opinion in the voting booth.

When this principle of one person one vote is violated or appears to have been violated, the whole foundation of our democracy and freedoms is undermined. We can never be quite sure if the election results actually reflect the will of the people or if those election results have been skewed by incompetence, deceit, criminal behavior, and anti-freedom forces.

I have people in my life that pooh pooh the idea that there is massive voter fraud in this country, either intentional or unintentional, due to incompetence or deceit of government officials and politicians. We are going to take a look at their hypothesis that voter fraud is insignificant over the next few days. I think that when we are done, you will agree that our voting processes are badly broken and possibly criminally broken and skewed and that unless actions are taken to restore the faith in our election processes, the country and the freedoms we enjoy are in serious trouble.

1) Consider a recent article from the American Outlook website regarding some voting irregularities in California:

• Apparently, at least eleven California counties have more registered voters today than they have eligible citizens living in those counties.
• This is the conclusion that watchdog Judicial Watch reached after examining state government documents.
• Judicial Watch took action and sent a letter to the California Secretary of State, Alex Padilla, on behalf of the Election Integrity Project, pointing out this fact and alleging the state was in violation of Federal law: “NVRA [National Voter Registration Act] Section 8 requires states to conduct reasonable list maintenance so as to maintain an accurate record of eligible voters for use in conducting federal elections.1 As you may know, Congress enacted Section 8 of the NVRA to protect the integrity of the electoral process. Allowing the names of ineligible voters to remain on the voting rolls harms the integrity of the electoral process and undermines voter confidence in the legitimacy of elections...As the top election official in California, it is your responsibility under federal law to coordinate California’s statewide effort to conduct a program that reasonably ensures the lists of eligible voters are accurate.”
• The letter then listed out, on a ratio basis, the counties where there were more registered voters than eligible citizens to vote: Imperial (102%), Lassen (102%), Los Angeles (112%), Monterey (104%), San Diego (138%), San Francisco (114%), San Mateo (111%), Santa Cruz (109%), Solano (111%), Stanislaus (102%), and Yolo (110%).” 
• The letter to Padilla pointed out that the Los Angeles County ratio could be as high as 144%.
• The letter also pointed out that Padilla had 90 days under the law to fix what is apparently broken.

At this point we do not know if this voting problem is intentional fraud or just incompetence. But it does not matter: something is amiss in at least eleven California counties that helps to undermine the entire California voting process integrity.

2) But it is not just in California where there may be voting fraud and irregularities going on. Consider a September 24, 2017 article from Meagan Devlin and Hans von Spakovsky, writing for the Heritage Foundation, about potential voting fraud in Philadelphia:

• Since 2006 at least 317 registered Philadelphia voters, who are not even American citizens, have contacted local officials to tell them that they are NOT legal Philadelphia voters even though they appear on Philadelphia voting records.
• It appears many of them were registered as voters when they applied for or renewed their driver’s license even though they provided documentation to DMV officials that they were not citizens.
• The 317 have been removed from the voting rolls but no one knows how many other bogus non-citizens are registered as legal city residents and U.S. citizens.
• At least 44 of the 317 voted in one election and 46 voted in multiple elections even though they were not U.S. citizens.
• The Public Interest Legal Foundation has published a research report that found 86 instances of Pennsylvania non-citizens who had their voting registrations revoked between 2013 and 2015 but still, almost half of them had actually voted in state elections.
• Statewide, the Pennsylvania Department of State has identified 1,160 people who were registered voters who asked to be removed from the voting registration lists because they were not U.SA. citizens.
• The article reports similar problems with non-U.S. citizens voting in New Jersey and Virginia.

The good news is that there are some honest people out there that self reported a problem and fixed it, even though they may have voted illegally in at least one election before doing so. The bad news is that we have no idea how widespread such idiocy is, allowing non-citizens to register as an American voter even though they are not an American citizen. And it is that unknown that undermines confidence in our voting processes.

3) According to Bob Unruh, writing for the WND website recently, California is not the only state where there are counties with more registered voters than their are eligible voters living in that county:

• Mr. Unruh starts off with the fact that Lowndes County in Alabama may have 131% of registered voters vs. the total eligible citizens in the county.
• Lowndes is one of 247 counties across the country that the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has identified in its research that had more registered voters than eligible citizens living in their county.
• The PILF contacted these counties to explain that “federal law requires election officials to conduct a reasonable effort to maintain voter registration lists free of dead voters, ineligible voters, and voters who have moved away” and that these counties have “significantly more voters on the registration rolls than it has eligible, living, citizen voters.”
• A total of 12 Alabama counties have more registered voters than eligible citizens.
• Other states with counties having more registered voters than eligible citizens include Kentucky (41 counties), Michigan (32 counties), Iowa (31), Illinois (22), Mississippi(19),Colorado (17), Texas (12), South Dakota (12), and Nebraska, Georgia, New York, West Virginia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Louisiana, Montana, Virginia, Arizona and Florida which all have less than 10 counties with more registered voters than eligible citizens.
• PILF President J. Christian Adams explained said that during the 2016 election, 24 states had “bloated voter rolls” and that, “Voter fraud begins with corrupted voter rolls. Our nation’s voter rolls have records that cannot be distinguished between living or dead; citizen or alien; resident or relocated. We hear about possible cyber-attacks, but we aren’t doing enough to fix voter rolls that are certainly corrupt.” 
• He continued to observe: “The voter rolls are so bad in some states that election officials would have a hard time telling the difference between sabotage and negligence.”

Again, no one knows how many of these bloated voter lists resulted in fraudulent voting and criminal activity. But again, perception is reality and it does not provide a warm feeling that the political class and government officials have a handle on clean voting processes and keeping integrity in those voting processes. We have only just begun to show that voting irregularities are possibly endangering the vote and voice of Americans across the country.

The Abysmal Fiscal and Financial Skills Of American Politicians

We have often discussed how absolutely horrid the American political class has been in managing the fiscal affairs at all levels of government in this country:

• The Washington political class has run up a whopping $20 TRILLION in national debt, doubling the debt in just the eight years of the Obama administration.
• The per person Federal debt comes out to roughly a $61,000 debt burden for every man, woman, and child in this country, or almost a quarter of million dollars for a family of four.
• Just the three state governments of Illinois, New Jersey, and California have hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities coming due in the coming years.
• The state government of Illinois is so dysfunctional that they have not been able to pay out state lottery winners due to their budget crisis even though they continue to sell state lottery tickets, a bait and switch strategy that would get everyone else thrown in jail for running such a fraudulent scam.
• Local governments across the country like Detroit, Michigan and Stockton, California have filed for bankruptcy protection since they already could not meet their fiscal obligations and promises.
• And Puerto Rico was a financial and economic basket case before it was devastated by Hurricane Marie.

What often happens is that these politicians at each level of government get themselves and their constituents into a death spiral: they need more tax revenue to fund the financial promises they made which depresses economic growth which reduces tax revenue which results in higher tax rates which depresses economic growth more, etc., etc.

We recently came across a useful analysis from the League Of Power website by Mark Patricks which offered the following question and then proceeded to try and answer that question: “Which American Cities and States Will File Bankruptcy Next?” His analysis updated many of the discussion we have had and have listed above on how the political class are pretty inane and useless when it comes to fiscal sanity:

• The state of Illinois recently raised its state income tax 32% as it has entered into the fiscal death spiral.
• The unfunded government liabilities, outside of the Federal $20 TRILLION national debt, is between $5 and $8 TRILLION, a hole that even massive tax increases may not resolve.
• Political promises are so bad in Chicago that over 60% of the city’s tax revenues goes solely to supporting the pension requirements of retired city workers and the city’s massive debt load, leaving less than 40% of the tax revenue to be used for schools, roads, etc.
• According to the article, “Lubbock, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Honolulu, Hawaii; Dallas, Texas; Oakland, California; Phoenix, Arizona; Houston, Texas; and Los Angeles also have huge liabilities that are just under the range of Chicago's.”
• In each of these cities, at least 50% of their tax revenue is used to fund their city’s past promises on pensions and for debt payment.
• JP MorganChase says that any city with a figure of more than 30% of their tax revenue being used for pensions and debt management will find it difficult to invest in infrastructure, bond repayment, pensions, non-pension spending, and other expenses.
• JP MorganChase estimates that the city of Honolulu could only fix its budget problems with at least a 30% hike in taxes or a 76,000% increase in worker pension contributions, either of which will likely never happen in time to avoid an eventual fiscal implosion.
• City government pensions in Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh are considered by JP MorganChase to be in “crisis” mode since their future pension payouts are funded at 55% or less with Chicago’s funded pension payouts are only at 23%, a level that will drop to a mere 15% in 10 years if nothing is changed.
• A study by the moving company, United Van Lines, found that the top six states with the highest out migration rates have an average taxpayer burden that is five times higher than the nine states with the highest in migration rates, which is part of the death spiral discussed above: the higher the taxes the more likely citizens will move to more tax-friendly states which leaves their past states with a smaller tax base which requires higher tax rates which drives up more out migration and the death spiral is in place.
• Chicago was found to have the highest out migration rate, not surprising given its putrid fiscal situation and high tax rates.
• Not only is Chicago in an out migration and economic death spiral, but the whole state of Illinois is in the same condition, having led the country in the out migration rate for three years in a row.
• But this situation in Illinois is not surprising since Forbes ranked Illinois as having the 46th worst tax burden in the country BEFORE the state raised income tax rates 32%.
• In lower taxed northwestern Indiana, on the Illinois border, home construction was up 19% in 2016 while in Cook County, Illinois, home of Chicago, home construction is down 6%.
• As people have migrated out of Chicago, home values have dropped leaving the city with one of the highest rates in the country for mortgages being “under water,” i.e. the amount of mortgage owed is more than the value of the homes.

Economic death spirals all over the country as people decide how best to keep their hard earned money away from politicians that have over promised goodies to their voting blocs over the years without regard to the fiscal consequences. And people will do what is best for themselves and their families and move to situations where they get to keep more of what they earned.

The really sad part of the whole fiscal insanity of American politicians is that while we have these mountains of debt we have nothing to show for it. Our roads, bridges, and dams are falling apart across the country. Our public schools still under educate our kids. Our electric grid is outdated and subject to attack and disruption. Our social welfare programs, Social Security, Obama Care, Medicare, and Medicaid, are rushing quickly into insolvency. We have no national energy strategy or plan to make us energy independent. We have not cured the major diseases of our times including cancer, Alzheimer’s and dementia illnesses, Parkinson’s disease, etc. We have nothing despite the tens of trillions of dollars in debt.

So don’t worry about Trump and the Russians. Don’t worry about Hillary and the Russians. Don’t worry about any other issue at the state, local, or Federal levels. Because unless we fix our debt problem very soon, that dam is going to break and the red ink that it is holding it back will wipe out every other paltry political issue that exists today.

October, 2017, Part 5, The Unfolding Disaster That Is Obama Care: Real Stories Of Real Sufferings of Real Americans Under a Really Bad Law

Every month for years now we have had to discuss how bad Obama Care is turning out to be under the continuing theme, “the unfolding disaster that is Obama Care.” This month is no different. As the legislation continues to march through America, driving up health care and health insurance prices as it serves as dead weight on economic growth, it cements its rightful place as the worst piece of legislation Washington has ever produced.

It never had a chance to be successful since it really never addressed the underlying root causes of our ever increasing health costs in the country:

• Americans eat too much of the wrong kind of food, resulting in obscenely high obesity rates for the country.
• Our food chain is infested with overdoses of high fructose corn syrup, salt, sugar, and other unhealthy additives.
• Americans smoke too much.
• Americans do not exercise enough.
• The country is in serious need of health care tort reform.
• Barriers to insurance company competition across state lines need to come down.
• Obama Care never “followed the money” to find out who is actually profiting from the ever escalating healthcare costs in this country and how to get those factors under control.
• Obama Care never got the immense amount of fraud and abuse in current government healthcare programs, Medicare and Medicaid, under control in order to save money to efficiently fund other government health care initiatives.
• Obama Care never put serious research money towards curing the major diseases that drive high healthcare costs such as high frequency cancers and dementia type diseases.

You cannot resolve any problem unless you understand and address the underlying root causes. No difference here: Obama Care legislation never addressed these listed root causes and thus, has no chance of ever being successful.

But it is not just missing the root causes of our healthcare costs that makes Obama Care so horrible. It resulted in millions of Americans losing access to their favored doctors, hospitals, and insurance policies. It has caused insurance premiums, deductibles and copays to escalate substantially. It will likely add trillions of dollars to the national debt. It has exposed millions of Americans to higher than necessary identity theft chances. It has created government bureaucracies that are wastefully spending taxpayer wealth and being exploited by criminal elements. It has stifled economic growth and job creation.

These are just a sample of the types of idiocy that we have been reviewing for the past several years in this blog relative to Obama Care. To read those past posts, just enter the phrase, “the unfolding disaster,” in the search box above.

As we often do each month in the last post on the unfolding disasters of Obama Care is we highlight the real hassles, problems, and health threatening events that the law has caused real Americans. From higher premiums and deductibles to lost coverage to lost access to preferred doctors, the Obama Care legislation has caused real agony across America, agony that does not appear to be registering with the Washington political class, given their inability or non-desire to fit what they have broken. As always, our source of these heartbreaking stories is:

www.ourhealthcarestories.com

MARK, IDAHO - Mark A. York, a 60-year-old freelance writer in Hailey, Idaho, said he began shopping after he received a letter saying that his current insurance policy would be canceled because it did not meet the requirements of the health care law. In the exchange, he said, he found policies with premiums similar to what he is now paying, $440 a month, but “the deductibles were so high — $4,000 to $6,000 a year — that it defeats the purpose of having insurance."

SALLY - MICHIGAN: I live in Michigan and today I took my car in for routine service. My family dealership has recently been sold to a multi-brand company with over well over 50 employees. When I was checking out and talking to the cashier, she told me that she and all the other office and service workers were given at least 40 hour work weeks and the family dealership paid for their health insurance. Now, she told me, most of the employees had their hours cut to 34 per week so the new company did NOT have to pay for the health insurance under the new Obamacare rules. The costs to the new company, with all the minimum requirements, was just too great. This was costing her, a hard working office person in a car dealership, pay for 6 hours per week and an additional $300/month to foot the bill for her own health care. These rules are negatively affecting the working class people which was NOT the way it was sold to the American public. This is a real life example of just that.

KATHLEEN- MICHIGAN: Kathleen Forster, 64, a retired interior designer in Grosse Point, Mich., who received a cancellation notice in the mail several weeks ago, said she holds no hope that her provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, will rescind the cancellation notice it sent her and her husband several weeks ago.

"Why would they?" Forster said. "They jumped through all these hoops to come up with something new. Now they are going to rescind that? To make President Obama look good?"

The Forsters ended up buying a new policy from Blue Cross that meets the ACA requirements. Their premium ticked up from $762 per month to $820; their deductible shot up from $1,000 to $12,000.

LARRY - NEVADA: The hospital bills are hitting Larry Basich’s mailbox.

That would be OK if Basich had health insurance. But he doesn’t.

Thing is, he should be covered. Basich, 62, bought a plan through the state’s Nevada Health Link insurance exchange in the fall. He’s been paying monthly premiums since November.

Yet the Las Vegan is stranded in a no-man’s-land where no carrier claims him, and his tab is mounting: Basich owes $407,000 for care received in January and February, when his policy was supposed to be in effect. Instead, he’s covered only for March and beyond.

Basich has begged for weeks for help from the exchange and its contractor, Xerox. But Basich’s insurance broker said Xerox seems more interested in lawyering up and covering its hide than in working out Basich’s problems. Nor is Basich the only client facing plan-selection errors through the exchange, she added.

Xerox, meanwhile, said it’s working every day to fix Basich’s problem, and its legal counsel is routine.

In the rollout of the Affordable Care Act and its insurance exchanges, you can find a success story for every failure. But Basich’s case is extreme.

LINDA - CONNECTICUT: I am self employed and my insurance premium increased by $307.00 a month. Guess I'll stop eating! Not only that but at the age of 58, I'm required to carry maternity coverage! To further add insult to injury, my prescription which was costing me $26.00 a month is now costing me $87.00 per month.

MAXINE - NORTH CAROLINA: My husband and I had United Health Care's Medicare Advantage Plan for the past couple of years. It was very cost effective, and my husband and I were quite satisfied with it. However, last October we received a letter from UHC stating that due to the Affordable Care Act our plan was cancelled, no other information given at that time. We were quite upset about this and decided that we had to find another alternative; having only Medicare was not an option. After doing quite a bit of research, my husband finally came up with the best solution. We both enrolled in BCBS of North Carolina, called a supplement, but is basically an advantage plan that includes drug coverage. I got one of the best plans, and my husband chose a lesser plan (as he has VA benefits). Now we will be paying about $2,300 yearly for health coverage, which fortunately we can manage financially despite having Social Security as our primary source of income. (I feel sorry for those who can only afford Medicare.)

P.S. We finally got another letter from UHC offering us a supplement plan that was even more expensive than BCBS. However, we had already decided that we wanted nothing more to do with United Health Care!

Forced to pay higher costs, forced to buy coverage they will never need, forced to find new doctors, forced to cut workers’ hours, you could not have come up with a more destructive law if you tried. And each month the disasters keep on unfolding. More suffering next month for sure.

October, 2017, Part 4, The Unfolding Disaster That Is Obama Care: Stopping Illegal Insurance Company Payments and Giving Freedom and Power Back To Individuals

Every month for years now we have had to discuss how bad Obama Care is turning out to be under the continuing theme, “the unfolding disaster that is Obama Care.” This month is no different. As the legislation continues to march through America, driving up health care and health insurance prices as it serves as dead weight on economic growth, it cements its rightful place as the worst piece of legislation Washington has ever produced.

It never had a chance to be successful since it really never addressed the underlying root causes of our ever increasing health costs in the country:

• Obama Care never got the immense amount of fraud and abuse in current government healthcare programs, Medicare and Medicaid, under control in order to save money to efficiently fund other government health care initiatives.
• Obama Care never put serious research money towards curing the major diseases that drive high healthcare costs such as high frequency cancers and dementia type diseases.

You cannot resolve any problem unless you understand and address the underlying root causes. No difference here: Obama Care legislation never addressed these listed root causes and thus, has no chance of ever being successful.

But it is not just missing the root causes of our healthcare costs that makes Obama Care so horrible. It resulted in millions of Americans losing access to their favored doctors, hospitals, and insurance policies. It has caused insurance premiums, deductibles and copays to escalate substantially. It will likely add trillions of dollars to the national debt. It has exposed millions of Americans to higher than necessary identity theft chances. It has created government bureaucracies that are wastefully spending taxpayer wealth and being exploited by criminal elements. It has stifled economic growth and job creation.

These are just a sample of the types of idiocy that we have been reviewing for the past several years in this blog relative to Obama Care. To read those past posts, just enter the phrase, “the unfolding disaster,” in the search box above.

1) There has been so much done in the name of Obama Care that was either illegal or un-Constitutional. One of the likely un-Constitutional actions taken under the Obama Care umbrella was killed off by Trump last week. He signed an executive order that terminated the illegal and un-Consitutional payments to insurance companies 

These payments were called cost-sharing reduction payments (CSRs) that were made directly to insurance companies to help them offset their potential losses under Obama Care’s tenets. This action has absolutely no bearing on the Federal subsidies that low income Obama Care customers receive legally under the Obama Care legislation, they are strictly bribery payments directly to insurance companies to entice them to continue to offer Obama Care policies.

This termination follows court actions that Congressional Republicans took in which they rightfully argued that Congress never approved such payments and thus, under the articles of the Constitution, they were illegal. After two years of legal motions and arguments, a Federal court ruled that their complaint had legal validity and would be allowed to go forward.

Part of the White House press release read as follows and highlighted the reasons for the termination: “The bailout of insurance companies through these unlawful payments is yet another example of how the previous administration abused taxpayer dollars and skirted the law to prop up a broken system. Congress needs to repeal and replace the disastrous Obamacare law and provide real relief to the American people.”

This closes out another disaster from Obama Care, a piece of legislation that was so bad that insurance companies had to be illegally bribed with taxpayer wealth seven years after Obama Care started to do its damage. Again, this action does nothing to directly affect the Federal subsidies that low income Americans receive to help pay for their Obama Care policies. That legal process is still intact and working under the direction of the IRS. It is the direct billion dollar payments to insurance corporations that have been stopped.

2) The Trump administration also moved positively forward on several other Obama Care issues. First, it is relaxing the rules that stipulate that every Obama Care policy had to fulfill many, many unwanted requirements as far as what was covered. For example, a 64 year old gay male, if he wanted an Obama Care policy, had to pay for coverage of maternity costs as required by the legislation. An Amish family, if they wanted an Obama Care policy would have to pay for drug and alcohol addiction treatment coverage, habits that they usually do not partake in.

Obviously, the insurance companies loved these requirement since it forced customers to pay for more coverage than they needed or wanted and were for options that the insurance companies would likely never have to pay out for. But this drove up the cost of Obama Care policies which made them more expensive than what the customers needed them for. Hopefully, by relaxing these onerous Obama Care requirements, the cost for health insurance policies will go down as companies can now customize policies to specific needs of potential customers.

The President also signed an order that allowed it easier for Americans to band together to form Association Health Plans (AHPs) including the ability to band together across state lines (see our root cause list above where we have always recommended that): “Barriers to insurance company competition across state lines need to come down.” This should help independent contractors such as web designers, artists, writers, etc. to get together and go to insurance companies as a formal group to negotiate lower insurance rates for their AHP members. 

And finally, the President ordered the Federal government to expand the use of tax advantaged health reimbursement accounts to help Americans pay for their health insurance.

It is refreshing to finally report some good news in our continuing series of the “unfolding disasters of Obama Care.” Since Congress has refused to do anything to fix this horrible law and the heartbreak it has caused millions and millions of Americans, these first three steps under Trump are a welcome set of good news for a change: no more bring rich insurance companies, no more buying coverage that was not needed, and allowing individuals to get together to negotiate better health insurance terms.

Rand Paul one of the few advocates for freedom now serving in Congress found the President’s actions to be commendable as do we:  “President Trump is doing what I believe is the biggest free-market reform of healthcare in a generation. I want to commend the president for having the boldness and foresight and leadership to get this done.”

So, some good news finally on the Obama Care front. The President has restored Constitutional order by stopping illegal payments to insurance companies and he has given back some control of Americans’ health insurance choices to the folks that actually know best what is best for their health needs, the individuals themselves. One more post on the unfolding disaster that is Obama Care yet to come.
