The hazard of automatically mailing ballots to voters: “They sent a ballot, and I voted. I usually [vote]. If you send me a ballot to vote, I vote,” said Michelle Lambrigger. NBC-2 spoke with William and Michelle Lambrigger, who have acknowledged voting in Cape Coral, as well as several Lee County elections over the past six years, while residents of Charlotte County: They could now face criminal charges or even jail time if convicted. William Lambrigger says he is frustrated and wants it all to blow over. In court last month, his wife Michelle tried to explain to attorneys that it was all a big misunderstanding. Lee County Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington countered on what she called a “blatant case of voter fraud”: “The Lambriggers had six years to contact the elections office in Charlotte County. In accordance with Florida Law, it is a voter’s responsibility to keep his or her voter records up-to-date and current.”
“Court Rules Feds Must Recognize Voter ID Laws”
American Spectator: We all know that’s not the real reason Democrats fight these laws. They do it for the purpose of hiding voter fraud. With the Arizona and Kansas precedent set, hopefully more states that were previously concerned about the feds’ refusal to recognize their voter ID laws will instead follow these states’ example. The more frightened liberals get about the upcoming mid-term elections, the more prone to fudging the truth through voter fraud they will get. These laws are hardly radical – they are absolutely necessary.
“Woman Convicted of Voter Fraud Honored by Ohio Democrats”
Ohio Democrats, still pushing their phony “voter suppression” meme, kicked off a campaign tonight to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot. They even brought in Al Sharpton for support.
The interesting twist to the “campaign against suppression” was that Ohio Democrats have embraced the early release of a serial fraudster sentenced to 5 years in prison for multiple voting fraud crimes. This glamorization of criminals should not be surprising, as it is the same Democratic party and MSNBC media that has eagerly placed Al Sharpton on a pedestal for his racial activism.

UPDATE: “Pennsylvania Attorney General Kane lawyers up”
Responding to reports on her dropped investigation into multiple bribe-taking Democrats, including a Philadelphia state legislator paid to vote “no” on Voter ID, Pennsylvania’s Democrat Attorney General Kathleen Kane has hired a lawyer and threatened to sue the newspaper reporting the story: Kane, apparently frustrated by continuing scrutiny of her decision, has now escalated further, hiring counsel and suggesting that if the Inquirer continues to pursue the story, she would start suing people! The decision to lawyer up and take “appropriate action” against either the leakers or the papers goes far beyond the bounds of a reasonable response. This is indisputably a newsworthy story. The public deserves to know what happened with this investigation and why it happened. Kane’s acceleration from “it was racism” to “it’s the Good Ol’ Boys” to “I will start suing people” is despicable in any public servant, but even more so from the state’s top prosecutor.
Dredging Up Dred
Shelby compared to Dred Scott. No surprise from Adam Serwer, for whom anything intended to aid the integrity of American elections is the second coming of Hampton’s Red Shirts and who believes that America is a structurally racist oppressive nation.
South Texas county’s Democrat primary voting machines seized
Hidalgo County initiates tampering investigation The Monitor reports on the latest election irregularities in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley: A state District Court judge on Wednesday ordered the impounding of all voting machines used in the Hidalgo County Democratic primary this year. “Upon review of information received by the Hidalgo County District Attorney’s Office, regarding the forenamed election, criminal conduct may have occurred in connection with said election, therefore requiring impoundment of all the election returns, voted ballots, signature roster and other election records and equipment for an investigation and ultimately a determination of whether or not criminal conduct occurred,” the application states.
Voting machines and other materials used in the primary during early voting in late February and Election Day on March 4 were impounded Wednesday afternoon following an application the District Attorney’s Office filed in the morning in the 398th state District Court alleging possible criminal vote tampering.
“Texans Take to Voter ID”
“Photo ID went great“ The Texas Voter ID law continues to face legal challenges, including one from the U.S. Department of Justice. Meantime, it’s so-far, so-good as the law is implemented across the Lone Star State.
The latest successful example is the March 4th Texas primary elections. Harris County has now completed all canvassing results for the primary, and found there was a 99.9% compliance rate with the Photo ID law. The primary marked the first statewide election since the law took effect last year, and just as with last fall’s municipal elections, there were no issues.
“The results are the photo ID went great,” says Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart.
Disappointing perhaps to the anti-ID crowd and plaintiffs’ attorneys, but great news for Texas voters who value honest, accessible and fair elections.
Virginia Rolls On With Voter ID Education
If you don’t have an ID to vote in Virginia, you must not want one deliberately based on the above-and-beyond efforts of the Commonwealth.

Kobach v. EAC: “A Big Win for Electoral Integrity”
Von Spakovsky at National Review.
“As Judge Melgren said, the Supreme Court made clear in the Arizona decision that under the Constitution, ‘the states, not Congress, set the voter qualifications for federal elections.’ Congress can set the rules for voter registration, but it would raise ‘serious constitutional doubts’ if the NVR A were interpreted to prevent states such as Arizona and Kansas from obtaining information necessary to enforce its voter qualifications.”
Melgren’s opinion is important because it emphasizes the constitutional power of states to run their own elections – an axiom that many despise because it interferes with an agenda to centralize power. Naturally, the reason the Constitutional axiom exists is to preserve liberty. Decentralization of power promotes individual freedom.
