Voter fraud investigated in Louisiana mayoral election



“The West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Louisiana Secretary of State’s Office have launched an investigation into allegations of voter fraud in the Port Allen mayoral race… the Sheriff’s Office received multiple complaints about hundreds of mail-in and faxed requests for early voting ballots that did not match voter information on file with the parish Registrar of Voters Office…


 


“Johnson said at least one of the ballots under review in the special election is from someone tied to the campaign of former Mayor Demetric ‘Deedy’ Slaughter, who is seeking re-election after her Nov. 16 recall, less than six months into her first term as mayor.”




Slaughter’s “historic” recall was prompted by an administration “peppered with controversy, beginning immediately after she took office in January when she was criticized for charging taxpayers the $2,500 cost of a trip to Washington, D.C., to attend President Barack Obama’s second inauguration.”


Pittsburgh Tribune Review: “Voter fraud: Multiple-voting Melowese Richardson gets a federal pass”

More on DOJ’s failure to prosecute confessed voter fraud on Ohio.

“Eric Holder’s Justice Department wastes no time suing states over their voter ID laws — to protect the franchise, he says. But a fraudster who repeatedly voted for President Obama? Why, she gets a pass.


Consider the celebrity status bestowed upon Melowese Richardson, the Ohio poll worker who admitted she voted six times for President Obama in 2012. Typically, voting just twice for president is enough to draw a federal felony charge.”

Florida voter roll cleanup delayed again, until after 2014 election



Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner told local election supervisors that efforts to identify and remove non-U.S. citizens from the state’s voter rolls will be delayed again – this time due to changes to the DHS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, used to help identify potential ineligible non-citizens, that won’t be done before the 2014 election.


 


The state wanted to match potential ineligible voters found on the voter rolls with the names maintained by the federal government. Detzner said the changes proposed for the database should “enhance and improve the credibility” of the system, but that the work would not be complete until 2015…


 


Detzner did remind election supervisors that they remain responsible for removing any ineligible voters if they receive any information questioning a person’s voter registration status.


NYC Dem councilwoman’s campaign staff indicted for fraud, forgery



Really bad forgery:

“The three workers were paid a dollar for each signature they collected last summer on Arroyo’s re-election petitions. When staffers for Arroyo’s opponent, Julio Pabon, noticed signatures from celebrities like Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter and model Kate Moss, authorities launched an investigation,” which found “a whopping 81 percent of the signatures were invalid.”
