A Denver Post column on election legislation designed to keep sending absentee ballots to inactive voter despite previous mail and ballots coming back undeliverable from that address or even the post office program informing the election official that the person has moved.  

The
Colorado legislature isn’t helping matters with House Bill 1303, which
has passed both chambers and awaits the governor’s signature. The bill
requires mail ballots be sent to all registered voters, whether they’ve
cast ballots in recent elections or not — and halted when the ballot is
returned or the state learns through other checks that someone has
moved or died.

One critical backstop is the National Change of
Address file maintained by the Postal Service. But in an era in which
snail mail is rapidly losing its relevance, particularly for young
adults, that file is hardly comprehensive. And yet as Pew points out,
“Census numbers from 2009 reveal one in four adults ages 25 to 34
changed residences.”

So what happens in homes where, say, a 20-something takes a job in another state? The ballots could just keep on coming.

So despite a voter having passed away or moved out of the state, the absentee ballots will just keep arriving to the same old address, over and over again, much to the chagrin of the new residents of the home.  Imagine getting a ballot over and over addressed to someone else and it keeps coming.  Democratic politicians and now the election clerks in Colorado are simply harassing legitimate voters at their homes, just asking for absentee voter fraud and mistaken voting, both of which threaten the integrity of the voting
process.

The RNC filed its opening brief in a case challenging limits on the
total amount one person can donate in a single election cycle. The RNC
says the limits are unconstitutional.

Results are in for South Carolina’s 1^st congressional district race – and for implementation of the state’s photo voter ID requirement in today’s election.  In Dorchester County:

“Three more people were charged today with voter fraud related to voting in Hamilton County in the 2012 presidential election… If convicted, they face up to 18 months in prison.”

“County Clerks have been clamoring for all-mail ballots for a number of years now because it makes their life easier. But making life easier for bureaucrats shouldn’t be the driving force behind election reform. Sometimes the headaches county clerks have to endure are necessary to ensure integrity in elections.”

An accused voter fraudster has blamed the supervisor of elections: Allen Prudent “says the real culprits were poll workers who allowed him to vote.”

“Whenever Congress acts in the area of political speech, there’s a touch stone for everything we do, should be the first amendment to the Constitution. And I think that the public should be particularly skeptical when you have elected politicians of either part enacting rules limiting the ability of public citizens to criticize the behavior of their elected officials,” Cruz said recently during a Senate hearing on campaign finance reform.

I had occassion to spend some time at an event with Ted Cruz in Dallas last weekend.  The future is bright for this Senator. 

Watt also claimed that black voters — unlike white voters — don’t have “an absolute commitment” to voting for a candidate based on race.”

Perhaps Mr. Watt was looking at polarization coefficients from his own Congressional district history, but reversing the labels on the columns.

A voter fraudster’s worst nightmare come true: “Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) is likely to be granted the power to investigate and prosecute election fraud cases.”
