“Election fraud not an abstract concern in W.Va.”

With early and absentee voting already under way, West Virginia and
federal officials are hoping to prevent any fraud before it happens as
Election Day approaches.
Authorities have reason to be wary. As recently as 2010, conspiracies
have plotted to sway balloting in the state. The since-resigned sheriff
and clerk of Lincoln County, along with one of its commissioners,
pleaded guilty earlier this year to federal charges arising from a
scheme to influence the 2010 Democratic primary with absentee ballots.  Link to full story.

“Republicans poised for gains in governor’s races”

Fox News reports:  Republicans are in position to extend their recent gains among
governors as they compete for seats they haven’t won in a
quarter-century.  Of the 11 states with gubernatorial elections in November, eight are
now led by Democrats, and each of the most competitive races is a GOP
pickup opportunity. The numbers suggests that Republicans soon will claim This entry was posted in Uncategorized on by .

A Hurricane Approaches Washington, and so does Sandy

Latest at PJ Media.


“Worse, Sandy threatens to blast Philadelphia. Widespread power outages and general weather mayhem will interfere with Obama’s essential ingredient to a Pennsylvania victory. Across Virginia, Obama signs are almost nonexistent except in the northern suburbs. In long drives across the commonwealth, there are more houses with single Kaine for Senate signs than houses with Obama and Kaine signs.


Obama has also suspended his campaign entirely Monday and Tuesday to perform Presidential duties. The last time a Presidential candidate suspended campaigning, it was a catastrophe.


Yesterday I saw the strangest sight while moving a boat away from the approaching wrath of Sandy. . . . “

Hans Spakovsky exposes “the New Yorker’s Voting Myths”

@NRO, the evidence shows that voter-ID laws are effective and fair.  Meanwhile turnout with photo ID in Georgia will probably increase again.

Like many liberals, Mayer resists reporting on voter fraud because it
upsets her narrative that reform efforts such as voter-ID laws are both
unnecessary and fraught with evil intent. Fortunately, neither the
American public nor the courts agree with that view.

Some Images from The Machine

I will be on with Glenn Beck on Thursday to discuss the new documentary about civil rights, voting, the Voting Rights Section and the Justice Department on November 1 on Blaze TV.  I’ve watched a screening of the documentary and it is pretty amazing.  Here is a rough collage of screenshots from the documentary:

Someone in Ohio Doesn’t Understand the Voting Rights Act

Drudge blasts the headline in Ohio that people who speak Somali are voting.  The shock!  Even worse, they aren’t speaking English!!!  The horror.  And to make it even more dangerous, they are being helped!!!!

Guess what, all of these activities are perfectly legal.  One need not speak English to vote.  That’s the law and the reactive excuse that you can’t become a citizen unless you speak English has absolutely no legal bearing on the matter.  Moreover, under Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act, every one of these Somalis can be assisted by an interpreter, and it can be the same one, and it can be a representative of the Democrat party.  The person can even tell them for whom to vote if it was the continuation of a possible prior discussion (in Somali most likely) about for whom to vote. 

This is a diversion that carries the danger of people overreacting.  People who do not speak English are allowed to vote.  They are allowed to have people in the booth with them helping them. That helper can be a democrat, at long as it is not an employer or union leader.
