WWAY-TV reports problems with voters who never requested absentee ballots having ballots voted in their name. Even worse, the investigating police officers reportedly told voters there was a lack of a signature match, but that’s ok because the voter “voted for the right man.” This implies that the officer was a participant in curing any facial defects in the ballots, and also knew for whom the ballot was marked. There were federal candidates on this ballot and George Holding should be all over this matter. It may involve both voter fraud in a federal election as well as public corruption by the law enforcement officials offering to “run the ballot out to the house” to get it fixed up right:
“[An investigating police officer] said that, ‘Randall had sent in his absentee ballot, but they couldn’t make out his signature that good, but it’s OK because he voted for the right man.'” Corbett said. “And he said, ‘I could go get the ballot and bring it to your house,’ talking about my mother and father, ‘and ya’ll can take it inside, and one of ya’ll can sign it, sign his signature to it and bring it out to me and I’ll turn it in.'” The problem is Corbett says he never voted at all. “I didn’t apply for or request an absentee ballot,” he said.
Thanks for starting this site. Hopefully, you’re gaining readers daily. It’s very useful to find all the voting irregularities, accusations, etc., gathered together at one site like this.
Ironically, you could end up making a bigger difference now than you were able to while working within the Justice Department where your job was to prosecute voting violations.
People I talk to would be perfectly willing to go to Iraq’s “purple finger” solution if that’s what it would take to keep people from voting more than once. And if we’re going to continue this trend toward more and more absentee ballots being cast, the jail time for fraud needs to be consequential.
Keep up the good work!
