From FOX:

The Obama/Biden lawn sign remains proudly planted in front of Melowese Richardson’s Cincinnati home, three months after the presidential election.

It seems that President Obama has an especially ardent supporter in the veteran Ohio poll worker.

Richardson told a local television station this month that she voted twice for Obama last November. She cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well.

“Yes, I voted twice,” Richardson told WCPO-TV. “I, after registering thousands of people, certainly wanted my vote to count, so I voted. I voted at the polls.”

But there’s no voter fraud.

Authorities also are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election.

“I’ll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States,” Richardson vowed when asked about the voter fraud investigation that is now under way.

Richardson is one of 19 people suspected of illegal voting by the Hamilton County Board of Elections in the last election.

Nope, no voter fraud there.

Also note that she says she’ll fight for “Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States”.  It’s his “right” to rule you, no matter how many laws are broken to put him there – and she’ll make sure that he gets his “right” to be your president – no matter how many times she has to vote to make it happen.  It’s his right to be your leader.

Obama Supporters Exposed by Howard Stern

In general, I find Howard Stern’s humor and show don’t coincide with my tastes, but occasionally he does some interesting bits.  This one in particular is worth listening to and being enlightened as to how the Obama voter thinks:

Voter ID Laws In Court

Posted: September 14, 2012 by ShortTimer in Leftists, Politics, Progressives and Left, Voting

A couple weeks ago, Texas’ voter ID law was struck down, because, y’know, it’s a burden on the poor to have to get ID to exercise their rights.

(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON – A federal court has ruled against a Texas law that would require voters to present photo IDs to election officials before being allowed to cast ballots in November.

A three-judge panel in Washington ruled Thursday that the law imposes “strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor” and noted that racial minorities in Texas are more likely to live in poverty.

Makes sense… since you can go and exercise so many other rights without ID.  Like your right to assemble.  Or your right to bear arms.  Oh, that’s right… you can’t do those things.  Heck, you couldn’t even keep soldiers from quartering on your property if you couldn’t prove it was your property.

Now, Pennsylvania’s voter ID law is being challenged by the ACLU and other leftist groups that want illegal voting.  There’s no real way around that.  You can’t support democracy by letting non-citizens vote, by letting one man equal twenty votes, etc.  They’re for illegal voting and voter fraud.  They’re hoping that they can make things so difficult that states will be forced to allow anyone to vote.

After all, that’s the Chicago way.

 

Live here on C-SPAN.

Started with some notes of Fast & Furious, going on with national security leaks and voter fraud in FL.

Because there was a recall election where free people chose their representatives.  Wait, that’s democracy, right?

Not according to the histrionics of this leftist cheesehead:

It’s the end of the USA!  Democracy is dead!

This Wisconsin voter shared the same opinion:

Reuters laments that there will be further “attacks on unions“.  And as usual, pics or it didn’t happen:

Wisconsin’s 119% Voter Turnout

Posted: June 5, 2012 by ShortTimer in Voting, Wisconsin

Speaking of voter fraud:

A Madison City Clerk has told a Wisconsin radio host that turnout for the area is expected at over 100%, up to 119%. What makes it all the more interesting is that this story comes from a far-left site.

Progressives shrug the 119% figure off as evidence that people are registering at the polls to vote. Considering that Wisconsin has oddly relaxed voter ID laws and a judge granted an injunction against measures that would have protected people’s votes, is it any surprise?

The whole Wisconsin election is going to set the stage for the national one.  There will be screaming, yelling, gnashing of teeth, and Democrats will simply try to count votes until they find enough for their guy to win as was done with the joke Al Franken in Minnesota.

And as usual, it’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes.

Update: Well, Walker won by a large margin.  Of course, the left’s complete reaction remains to be seen.  There could still be a few hundred thousand votes outstanding, and plenty of lawyers sent to try and screw up the actual democratic process.  Apparently some of that 119% came from voters who registered and voted the same day, thus causing odd numbers.  Who they voted for, and what Walker’s actual margin would’ve been, we don’t know.  Apparently it was sufficient to take care of any out-of-state interference.

That’s every election day in Chicago, but interestingly also the case in Florida.  Florida’s Secretary of State has been working to get the dead voters (and illegal aliens and criminals ineligible to vote) off the voter rolls:

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Can you be in the grave, but still have a pulse to vote? The answer is yes, in South Florida.

Using a new data base, the Florida Department of State found nearly 52,000 dead people still listed as active voters. So far, Broward has pulled out 4,482 names of dead voters from the rolls; Miami-Dade has dropped 4,860 dead voters from the rolls, according to Chris Cate, the Communications director at the Florida Department of State.

Seems like a reasonable thing to do to prevent voter fraud, right?  Take the dead off the rolls so no one can claim their vote.

Except:

A simple way to help prevent voter fraud and election abuse is for states to purge voter rolls. What does this mean? Getting rid of names on voter rolls of people ineligible to vote such as illegal aliens, dead people, duplicates, etc. For nearly a year, Florida election officials have asked the Department of Homeland Security for access to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement database in order to take illegal aliens and non-citizens off Florida voter rolls. Not surprisingly, DHS has been dragging its feet and has yet to comply with the request and now, the Department of Justice is stepping into the purging process and ordering Florida, a vital swing state, to stop.

The Justice Department sent a letter to Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner Thursday evening demanding the state cease purging its voting rolls because the process it is using has not been cleared under the Voting Rights Act, TPM has learned.

Yeah, the DOJ, which never prosecuted anyone for the Black Panthers hanging out at a polling place in 2008, is now pushing to make sure the dead can still vote.  From Katie Pavlich at Townhall:

But who is really behind the letter? Mean radical DOJ attorney Elise Shore. Christian Adams has more:

What do we know about Elise Shore from the installment about the Voting Section?

    Elise Shore. Ms. Shore came to the Voting Section by way of the “Southern Coalition for Social Justice,” where she worked as a legal consultant focusing on “voting rights, immigrant rights, and other civil rights and social justice issues.” The far left-wing positions of this group are nicely summarized on its website. Ms. Shore also made a $1,000 contribution to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

    Before joining the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, she worked for more than two years as a Regional Counsel for MALDEF [Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund]. There, she was an outspoken critic of Georgia’s voter ID law and well as its proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration (which, incidentally, have been found to be non-discriminatory by a federal court) and described how heartened she was that the Civil Rights Division had objected to the registration law under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.

Of course, not letting the dead or illegal aliens vote is so totally racist and stupid and racist or something.  From some imbecile leftist at The Ledger of FL:

Research has shown time and time again that there is no widespread voter fraud in Florida or the nation. Not enough people care to vote, let alone let alone getting caught committing a felony, in order to cast a vote.

Throughout our history, there have been efforts to keep citizens from exercising their right to vote, whether it was property ownership, poll taxes, the ability to interpret Bible passages, or out-and-out intimidation.

We know these were blatant efforts to keep poor people, African-Americans, Native Americans, women and now Hispanic people from voting.

Florida is at it again, as if we don’t already have an abysmal record of keeping citizens from voting, Florida has begun purging voter records of the dead and illegal registrants. Certainly voter records should be up-to-date and accurate, but dead people can’t vote and illegal people are afraid to. They are more concerned with being deported and the less contact they have with government the less likely they are to be.

That’s a whole lot of ideological idiocy in one short section there, and plenty of grasping at straws… or straw men.  Dead people and illegal aliens vote all the time.  If their names are on the rolls, their vote can be cast.  Voter ID laws are constantly attacked by leftist Democrats as being “disenfranchising”, which is code for “we break the law all the time so don’t enforce it or we’ll throw a fit and then lose”.  The dead person won’t show up, but someone else will vote in their place.  The illegal alien, promised handouts, will show up – and the Democrat party’s constant attack on voter ID laws will mean that they won’t be deported even when they’re in the process of negating a citizen’s sovereign franchise to vote.
