Will Voter Fraud swing this election?
Once again, we yearn for the ‘good old days’ when individual rights and responsibilities were carried out by them, by the individuals. And…. generally speaking, America was the better for it! It was often times referred to as rugged individualism and that in itself was a desired lifestyle. But over many years it has changed. Enter liberalism with all its dubious goals and the list is very long.
As we all know now, one element on this list is voter registration and assisting voters to get to the voting booths on Election Day. While this might at first sound very admirable and praiseworthy, we question the need for it though when it is being done in such excessive ways as we have recently seen by the ACORN groups. There have reportedly registered over 1.3 million individuals for this election cycle and are now under investigation in several States for fraudulent registrations and will undoubtedly be very active on Election Day to make sure most of their newly registered voters will actually vote.
ACORN is an acronym for Associations of Community Organizers for Reform Now and is allied with many civic groups and has over many years received millions of taxpayer dollars from the Federal and many State governments. While they claim to be non-partisan, they in fact are not! They have officially endorsed the Democrat’s candidate Barack Obama, a former fellow community organizer in Chicago who sort of returned the favor by sending them over $800,000 for get out the vote efforts. ACORN has registered approximately 600,000 new voters in Ohio alone of which 200,000 were found to be very questionable. When the Ohio Republican Party challenged these registrations, the Democrat Ohio Secretary of State, Ms. Jennifer Brunner ignored them. We only focus on Ohio since George Bush won this State’s electoral votes in 2004 over John Kerry by a mere 120,000 votes. A switch of 60,000 votes could have made John Kerry President. When there are now 200,000 questionable registrations, voter registration fraud leading to voter fraud could very well swing this election.
We here at Common Sense Politics are very concerned that our election process is now so flawed and compromised by fraudulent activities that the results are criminally tinged. We have a very clear position on this: Make active voter registration illegal! With this we are coming back to our opening sentence that we yearn for the good old days. We have a very hard time accepting that there are millions of citizens in America that do not care enough to make the effort to be a registered voter by contacting their respective County Registrar’s office by phone, mail or visiting the offices in order to exercise this precious right, to have a voice in elections by voting. These people are being referred to in the media and many liberals as being disenfranchised and therefore need help in becoming registered and to vote. To this we say: That is just plain nonsense, yet if true, that’s tough! We refuse to believe that a legal citizen of America who has gone through an education process called K-12 is incapable of registering to vote by him or herself and is therefore not disenfranchised but simply does not care enough to register to vote. As a consequence, we also question that person’s mental capability to think for him or herself and should possible refrain from voting. We do not want to insult such a person by calling them stupid but we have to question the basic attitude of such people when they have to depend so totally on active voter registration operations like ACORN. Think of the outcry if an alcohol company took everyone turning 21 to a bar on their birthday and paid for their drinks. Shouldn’t our pick for President be as important?
If a young person turns 18, should we not expect this young person to decide for him or herself whether or not to partake in an election and then exercise his right to become a voter actively? And if the decision to sit this one out for lack of interest or for other reasons, so be it, but let us not refer to them as disenfranchised individuals, that is clearly lacking any common sense. At the same time, we also reject the charges by liberals, Democrats and the majority of the media that Republicans are guilty at every election of voter suppression. We do not understand how this can happen other than assuming that when a voter shows up at a voting place and is not allowed to vote because he or she is not on the official voting rolls. They are still being given so called ‘provisional ballots’ to be verified for accuracy at a later time. If it is ‘voter suppression’ when an election official at a polling place does his or her job by verifying a person’s registration, then we might as well do away with any rules and accept ‘anything goes’ from now on. If long lines at polling places are interpreted as voter suppression, how can that be the fault of Republicans? We cannot believe that we are even writing about this nonsense. The only kind of ‘voter suppression’ we can accept – and we say this humorously – is when a Republican tells a Democrat voter that they are supposed to vote on the next day. In other words: Republicans vote on November 4 while Democrats vote on November 5. But this is of course of not happening anywhere other than as part of a prank or a joke.
In conclusion, we are very concerned that this Presidential election on November 4 might be so effected by fraudulent activities by ‘Get-Out-the-vote’ drives by all groups who are participating in this. Unfortunately, we will never truly know how many fraudulent votes will be cast on or before November 4 and will simply have to accept the overall results for lack of proof that fraud was a major factor for the winner. But in about ten days this year’s election will be over and we hope it is as clean as possible.
