“Other than These Two Big Cases in Texas and New York, Election Fraud Doesn’t Exist”

 Bryan Preston notes: “The Obama administration’s response to efforts to clean up our elections has been consistent: Fight those efforts to clean up our elections by whatever means are necessary. It sued Florida for cleaning up its voters rolls. It sued Texas for enacting voter ID to deal with the politiqueras and other fraud. Wherever there’s an effort to clean up elections, there’s an Eric Holder acolyte trying to stop it.”

True the Vote Statement on Voter Roll Clean Up Settlement With Ohio

Can be found here.  A snip:

“True the Vote and Judicial Watch initially gave notice to Ohio election officials in February of 2012, stating that three counties (Auglaize, Morrow, and Wood) each held over 100 percent voter registration compared against voting age population. The groups inquired into existing efforts to resolve the problem – given that another 31 counties were close to surpassing 100 percent rates as well. Secretary Husted responded, stating that efforts to maintain rolls were hampered due to conflicting legal mandates and zero enforcement from the Holder Justice Department. In August of 2012, both TTV and JW were left with no viable options but a federal lawsuit.”

“This settlement demonstrates the positive impact citizens can have when they demand better accuracy in voting records,” True theVote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. “Every person fundamentally understands the problems that come with bloated voter rolls and inefficient maintenance processes. This settlement – under Secretary Jon Husted’s leadership – will bring Ohio much closer to being on the cutting edge of smart voting policy that holds records and officials accountable.”

Breaking: True the Vote and Judicial Watch Reach Settlement With Ohio on Voter Roll Clean Up

PJ Media has the details on the settlement.


“True the Vote and Judicial Watch have reached a “historic” settlement with Ohio to ensure clean voter rolls in that state.  The settlement is historic because it marks the first case brought by a private party under Section 8 of Motor Voter against a state to require the clean up of corrupted state voter rolls.   Last fall, the American Civil Rights Union reached settlements with two Mississippi counties under the same voter roll clean up law.


As PJ Media has reported for years, private parties have been forced to bring these cases because Eric Holder’s Justice Department has lawlessly shut down enforcement of Section 8 of Motor Voter, allowing millions of dead and ineligible voters to clog the rolls.”

Voter Fraud Indictments of Politiqueras in Texas

Some call it getting out the vote.  Others call it a crime. The story:


“Three women working as politiqueras in the 2012 elections in Donna were arrested by F.B.I. agents in December and accused of giving residents cash, drugs, beer and cigarettes in exchange for their votes.


According to court documents, the typical payment to a voter was $10, a sign of the extreme poverty in the Rio Grande Valley, which is home to some of the poorest counties in America. Two of the three women — Rebecca Gonzalez and Guadalupe Escamilla — are accused of paying some voters as little as $3 for each of their votes. One voter was given a pack of cigarettes. Others were taken to buy drugs after they received cash for voting for a politiquera’s candidate.


Ms. Gonzalez, Ms. Escamilla and the third woman, Diana Castaneda, said the candidates and their campaign managers would give them the cash and instruct them to use it to pay voters in the 2012 primary and general elections, the F.B.I. said in court documents. The three women worked for several candidates running for seats on the board of the Donna Independent School District, though court documents do not identify any candidates or campaign managers.

No candidates have been arrested, although the investigation continues in an area that, unlike most of Texas, is overwhelmingly Democratic. “

Voter Impersonation: Demonstrably Easy, Show Agents

National Review Online looks at recent events where undercover agents show how easy voter impersonation is to conduct, and to detect.

Liberals who oppose efforts to prevent voter fraud claim that there is no fraud — or at least not any that involves voting in person at the polls.






But New York City’s watchdog Department of Investigations has just provided the latest evidence of how easy it is to commit voter fraud that is almost undetectable. DOI undercover agents showed up at 63 polling places last fall and pretended to be voters who should have been turned away by election officials; the agents assumed the names of individuals who had died or moved out of town, or who were sitting in jail. In 61 instances, or 97 percent of the time, the testers were allowed to vote. Those who did vote cast only a write-in vote for a “John Test” so as to not affect the outcome of any contest




…Given that we now know for certain how easy it is to commit undetectable voter fraud and how serious the consequences can be, it’s truly bizarre to have officials at the New York City Board of Elections and elsewhere savage those who shine a light on the fact that their modus operandi invites fraud. One might even think that they’re covering up their incompetence or that they don’t want to pay attention to what crimes could be occurring behind the curtains at their polling places. Or both.
