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) Over the past few days we have showed many examples where there is nation wide voter fraud going on, either through incompetence or criminal fraud. Donald Trump has claimed that this situation existed during the entire 2016 Presidential campaign and set out to do something about it. He set up a commission that was planning to look into voting fraud and deal with it to protect the integrity of our voting processes and democracy.
The state of Colorado decided to help Trump weed out voter fraud. According to the Washington Examiner, shortly after Colorado agreed to turn over state voting records over to the effort, hundreds and hundreds of people across Colorado’s voting districts started to withdrawal their voter registrations.
In Denver alone 175 people pulled their voter registrations immediately. In Arapahoe County, Colorado, 160 people pulled their voter registrations immediately even though the usual rate over the same time period is usually around 10.
The obvious conclusion is that these were fraudulent voter registrations, either being pulled by people that were ineligible votes or were fake registration altogether. If they were legitimate voters who wanted to voice their positions on the issues, what reason would they have to pull their registrations in light of being investigated?
It is great that even the threat of investigating voter fraud results in likely fraudulent voters going underground. Unfortunately, 14 states have decided not to help Trump and America ferret out voter fraud in their states, further leaving the integrity of our voting processes in doubt.
2) Let’s move over to the state of Virginia and see how bad that state is faring relative to voter fraud and voting irregularities. According to a May 31, 2017 article on the Federalist Papers website by Robert Gehl:
- A report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PLIF) found that over 5,000 non-citizens were registered to vote in Virginia sponsored elections.
- These 5,000 illegally registered voters were eventually removed from the voting records.
- But they were removed not because of any kind of government investigation but because they self-reported that they were not legal to vote.
- Which leaves the question that if 5,000 people honestly removed themselves from the voting rolls, how more thousands who were not that honest are still on the voting registration lists and still illegally voting in Virginia?
- According to PILF President, Christian Adams: “At the instruction of [Virginia] Governor McAuliffe’s political appointees, local election officials spent countless resources to prevent this information from spilling into the open. From NoVa to Norfolk and all urban and rural points in between, alien voters are casting ballots with practically no legal consequences in response.”
3) Let’s keep the voter fraud issue rolling and look at a national picture of voter fraud, as painted by an analysis and research by the Election Integrity Project of Judicial Watch, as reported by Deroy Murdock and the National Review website on August 11, 2017:
- The basis of their analysis was data from the Census Bureau’s 2011-2015 American Community Survey and July, 2017 data from the Federal Election Assistance Commission.
- Their analysis covered data from 38 states and overall resulted in an estimate that says there are at least 3.5 million more people on U.S. election rolls than citizens that are eligible to vote.
- 462 counties across the country had more voters registered than eligible voters in those counties.
- These 462 counties were 18.5% of all the counties studied.
- The most blatant example was Harding County in New Mexico which had 62% more registered voters than adults living in the county.
- Washington’s Clark county had 54% more voters than citizens eligible to vote which represents at least 166,811 “ghost” voters.
- California’s San Diego county had at least 810,966 ghost or over registered voters while Los Angeles county, at a 112% ratio of registered voters compared to eligible voters, had 707,475 ghost voters.
- But according to Judicial Watch, LA County employees told Judicial Watch that the real ratio in LA County is 144%, not 112%.
- In total, all of California counties have at least a whopping 1,736,556 ghost voters.
- According to Judicial Watch President, Tom Fitton: “California’s voting rolls are an absolute mess that undermines the very idea of clean elections. It is urgent that California take reasonable steps to clean up its rolls. We will sue if state officials fail to act.”
- Other states found to have significant numbers of ghost voters, enough to swing a Presidential election and the resultant Electoral College votes, include Colorado: 159,373, Florida: 100,782, Iowa: 31,077, Michigan: 225,235, New Hampshire: 8,211, North Carolina: 189,721, and Virginia: 89,979.
- Note that Hillary Clinton won both Colorado and New Hampshire with winning popular vote margins that were far less than the number of ghost voters registered in each of those two states.
- Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and co-chairman of Trump’s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity: “When you have an extremely large number of stale names on the voter rolls in a county, it makes voter fraud much easier to commit. It’s easier to identify a large number of names of people who have moved away or are deceased. At that point, if there is no photo-ID requirement in the state, those identities can be used to vote fraudulently.”
- The CBS network affiliate in Chicago in October, 2016 compared local voting records with the Social Security Administration’s master death file and found that, “the analysis showed 119 dead people have voted a total of 229 times in Chicago in the last decade.”
- The CBS network affiliate in Los Angeles reported in May, 2016 that at least 265 dead voters had voted in southern California “year after year.”
- Democratic Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed common sense legislation earlier this year that would have required investigations of elections in which ballots cast outnumbered eligible voters.
- When Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott tried to follow Federal law and clean up Florida’s voting records by removing 51,308 dead voters from the voting rolls, Obama’s Justice Department field a Federal lawsuit to stop him from doing another common sense deed to protect voting integrity.
More distressing tales of voter fraud to follow.
