Preventing voter fraud in close elections a concern for Kansas Secretary of State



A “handful” of fraudulent votes is enough to steal a close election, a valid concern for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who introduced the Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act in 2011 to prevent voter fraud:


 


Kobach said his concern is with the way voter fraud can impact close elections. 


 


“The question is, are there any close elections and the answer is, of course, yes. We have many close elections in Kansas. We had one primary on the Democrat side in 2012 which was a dead tie and the race had to be settled by a coin toss. We had another primary where it came down to eight votes. We had a case in 2006 where it came down to two votes in the general election. And these are all state legislative races I’m talking about, so these are significant offices, and if you have a race that comes down to two votes or eight votes, then just a handful of fraudulent ballots is enough to steal the election.”


 


“U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia’s staff chief implicated in fraudulent-ballot scheme”

Miami Herald reports on a absentee ballot fraud and voter fraud scheme in South Florida. When the dust settles and all the search warrants issued, the evidence will likely reveal the motive behind the plot was to scare potential Republican absentee voters away from requesting absentee ballots online. In Florida, Republicans and Cuban Republicans are more likely to vote absentee. By making thousands of fraudulent requests from an foreign IP address, the plot would unnecessarily raise public fears of a lack of online security.  Once the media reported on the alleged breach of security in requesting ballots, voters would shy away from making legitimate online absentee ballot requests.  



 

Illegal Aliens May Become Key Vote in New York City

 Fox News: “A controversial proposal in New York City to give voting rights to hundreds of thousands of non-citizen immigrants could make them into a key vote in America’s largest city.

The Big Apple proposal, though, could resonate with other municipalities, inspiring them to follow suit — and, if Congress approves an otherwise unrelated immigration overhaul, the number of newly eligible immigrant voters could swell into a potent voting bloc on the local level.”

South Carolina Senator/Voter ID Opponent Resigns for Campaign Cash for Sex Toy Spree

Senator Robert Ford has resigned.  Ford was one of the leading opponents against the South Carolina Voter ID law.  Ford resigned today amid allegations that he used campaign cash to buy sex toys, and more.



Also, Ford is accused of using campaign cash to buy penis enlargement pills.  Fits News:

The most bizarre allegation of all? That Ford used his campaign debit card to purchase Cyvita – penis enlargement pills that have yet to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Tom Perez: Obama’s Man at the White House

Third ranked visitor overall: “The Daily Caller study of the White House visitor logs demonstrates that Perez was the third overall most frequent visitor to the White House, just behind Deputy Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank. Perez visited the White House 83 times during a period in which he overrode the recommendations of career Justice Department lawyers to preclear South Carolina voter ID under the Voting Rights Act and blocked Texas Voter ID.


During the same period, Perez allowed the nation’s voter rolls to become bloated with millions of dead voters by refusing to bring any cases under Section 8 of the Motor Voter law.”
