EDITOR OF REDSTATE

Screw Integrity. Steal Ohio.

RESIZE: AAA

Here is Soren explaining what’s going on in Ohio:

And now here is Jeff Ortega at the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office hanging up on a talk radio host in Cleveland who wanted to know what the Secretary of State was refusing to put safeguards in place at Ohio early voting locations.

On election day the law requires Republican and Democrat poll watchers. But during early voting, the law is silent. The Secretary of State has decided that means there will be no poll watchers even though, as Soren and others have documented, we have evidence of vote fraud going on right now in Ohio.

    They are in fact planning to do themselves.
    They did it in Florida in 2000. They did it in Ohio in 2004.
    They hired a telephone marketing company to plant seeds in deomcratic controlled counties of a ridiculous claim the ballot was flawed.
    They made false vague claims of voter fraud in Ohio in 2004.
    Now we can literally watch them doing it in 2008 in Ohio.
    It is time for a huge Civil Rights lawsuit and filing with the US Attorney General NOW.
    Democrats, as shown by nation wide convictions of ACORN, are crooks in elections.
    It is long since past time to force the public to realilze the basis of democrat victory is almost invariably blatant lying and fraud.

    Let me propose, under the old practice of demonstrating absurdity by being absurd, that everyone reading this who is in Ohio go to the next county and register with an address of the local YMCA and vote. Then go to the next county and the next. If you live in a state that is close, take a bus in like the guy in Chicago did and have at it.

    I wonder if poll workers would flinch if I came in well dressed, driving my own car, filled out the registration form with a nice Mount Blanc pen or something, put my address as a homeless shelter or YMCA, and expected to vote. Maybe, just maybe, they would stop and think, “Hey, maybe there’s potential for massive fraud here …”

    when I bring up how Ohio is being stolen is “so what? It makes up for what YOU did in Florida!”
    Liberals just don’t care. They are willing to do anything to win. The issue here is this moron from the SOS office just couldn’t name ONE safeguard they have in place to prevent voter fraud.
    Here is what I see happening. Obama wins Ohio. After the election is over, a good chunk of the early voting voters will come back with unverifiable addresses, or we find out they’re deceased. Well, the election is over, so what can the Republicans do?

    The way to end these shenanigans is simple.

    If Republicans started organizing similar types of “gray” voter fraud, both sides would finally agree that this has to stop in order to preserve the integrity of our democracy.

    I’m not saying it right for our side to engage in this type of behavior, but I do believe that if we did, the other side would finally agree to sensible reforms.

    Until that point, the Democrats have nothing to lose by continuing to push the envelope like they do. The media is certainly not going to take them to task over this, if anything, they’ll call us racists for even bringing it up.

    As long as it works for Democrats, and it does, they’ll keep doing it.

    With regards to having observers at the polling places, they keep saying “they are banned because the Legislature does not provide for them”.

    But the Legislature does not provide for early voting either. This was done by “directive” of the SoS.

    Hypocrisy anyone?

    I think we should be like the Iraqis,
    And dip a finger in ink.
    For conservatives, one finger from either hand.
    For liberals, one finger from both hands.

    This would be a cheap way to give it the oversight it needs.

    “Those 30 days are essential to ensure that the registered voter 1) is a

    citizen 2) lives in the district 3) is of voting age 4) is not a felon. When

    you don’t take those safeguards, you encourage voter fraud.”

    This says the whole nine yards. You can’t say any more
    than this.

    we really should have some smart College Republicans from Michigan and PA take some buses over and pull the same bs the libs are doing. that will force the SOS to start asking for ID. two can play this game- and we should be matching them move for move

    Democrats aspire to be felons. Republicans not so much.

    The worst thing about these shenanigans is that the with each click of the pawl, the left ratchets more and more tension into the red/blue relations in this country. The blatant disregard for one of the core tenets of our self-government—the sanctity of the vote—is an act of violence against all citizens. This won’t be addressed. The tension will continue to build. The breaking point is going to bring one ugly backlash.

    Regardless, I could never advocate violating the sanctity of the vote in a tit-for-tat. I want a clear conscience should the time ever come that we are free to give them what they deserve.

    …to be exposed as a sycophant to the likes of ACORN on public airwaves.

    I’m sure there was a big ‘attaboy’ for Jeff Ortega in the SOS office after that one.
