What’s interesting in the news today?
Open Thread. Here’s a few to start off with.
1. Just keep telling yourself vote fraud is a myth. First we had thousands of voters registered in 2 states that involved South Carolina, now we have thousands more. And there are more.
From WatchDog.org “A crosscheck of voter rolls in Virginia and Maryland turned up 44,000 people registered in both states, a vote-integrity group reported Wednesday. And that’s just the beginning.
“The Virginia Voters Alliance is investigating how to identify voters who are registered and vote in Virginia but live in the states that surround us,” Alliance President Reagan George told the State Board of Elections.
George acknowledged that the number of voters who actually cast multiple ballots is relatively small. In the case of Maryland and Virginia, he revealed that 164 people voted in both states during the 2012 election.
But George said his group will expand their search for duplicate voters in the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and Georgia.”

2. And yet another example.
From AL.com “Less than three months before the June primary, four Alabama counties had more voters on their rolls than what the Census Bureau says is their voting age population.
Officials give a number of reasons for that, including under-counting by the census.
Secretary of State Jim Bennett said the discrepancies create opportunity for voting fraud.”
““Every duplicate name and every bad address is just an opportunity for crooks to attempt to manipulate our elections,” Bennett said.”

3. Time for a special prosecutor. This relationship between the Obama admin and the MB was never in the country’s best interest. They’re a terrorist supporting group, and should be treated as one, not given the special access they’ve gotten.
From TheClarionProject “Newly declassified documents obtained by the Clarion Project show that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) misled members of Congress in 2012 about its involvement with Muslim Brotherhood-linked entities.”
“The story of the deception began when the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified to Congress on February 10, 2011 saying that the Muslim Brotherhood is “a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has described Al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam.”
“The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s denial of any government engagement with U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entities is even more shocking considering the history of internal emails sent around the ODNI.”
“The members of Congress – and the American people – have a right to know the truth: The Office of the Director of National Intelligence does have a relationship with domestic organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood – and, it is a truth that needs a formal evaluation and investigation.”

I have a question. When you move and register to vote. Is it your responsibility to inform your old state or is it automatic?

When I moved to NC, I never said anything to Virginia. I may still be registered there. But I didn’t vote there. That may be the reason Virginia went for Obama. 😦

Alabama is also running TV ads to get your FREE identification card. You will be required to show ID when you vote in June.

KBells,
Your old voting place is notified, and they’re supposed to remove you. That’s not always happening. You’re supposed to be removed after 5 years of no voting too, but again, doesn’t always happen. It opens it up to fraud, as these additional 164 cases show.

I never notified anyone when we moved from one home to another. Others would have been at the addresses we left behind. One of those places has actually been demolished. I have never heard anyone tell us to remove your name from these rolls. I have always lived in the same state, however.

I got a card in the mail just the other day. The DMV let the elections people know I’d moved. I hadn’t bothered to tell them, so I filled out the card and sent it in. They mailed another card asking me if I wanted to be on permanent “vote by mail.”
I’ve done that every time we’ve lived out of California, but see no need to do it here, so I declined.
I did note the one time we didn’t receive our ballots by mail was also the one time there was a voting scandal in the district just north of Donna, which is where we voted. Amazing coincidence, no?
