18 voter fraud warrants issued in NY

New York authorities have issued 18 arrest warrants for voter fraud charges.  The Times Herald Record has more.

“Warrants for 18 people have been issued following a months long voter fraud investigation, Orange County Sheriff’s Office officials said Saturday.


One person was arrested Thursday and another 17 people are expected to turn themselves in Monday on charges that could include forgery and filing a false instrument, sheriff’s office officials said Saturday. Ralph Caruso, campaign manager for state Sen. Bill Larkin, R-C-Cornwall-on-Hudson, said that just before the November elections, he filed a complaint with the Orange County Board of Elections, naming a number of registered voters suspected of using addresses belonging to summer camps in the Village of Woodbury.”

Arizona Republic on New Black Panther dismissal

Arizona’s largest newspaper opines on Sunday:

“But where law in the United States is concerned, policies that prop up group victimization as a reason to apply laws differently simply invite contempt for the law itself. . . .



But, then, we learned that unequal application of the law wasn’t something unique to this case. We learned it is the accepted if unwritten policy of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department that violations of voting rights are never pursued against minority defendants. And, suddenly, all the potatoes got really, really big.”



 

Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote: “How much vote fraud is ok?”

Congratulations to Houston’s True the Vote and Mark Antill and Catherine Englebrecht of True the Vote.  They won the extremely prestigious Ronald Reagan Award at CPAC 2011 for their efforts to combat voter fraud.  I’ve written about them and their upcoming National Summit in March here at Pajamas.  An interview with Catherine Englebrecht after she won the Reagan award is here.
