Democrats have no shame

According to the AP, Joker Al Franken’s campaign tried to add
votes to their tally that had already been disqualified.
Fortunately, the Hennepin County Board of Elections shot them down.

From the AP:

Minnesota’s largest county has declined a request from
Al Franken’s Senate campaign to reconsider some disqualified
absentee ballots. […] Board members said the ballots could be
dealt with during the upcoming recount.

These “votes” were from people whose signatures didn’t match or who
were not registered or improperly registered.

Norm Coleman’s campaign issued a statement that cuts to the
heart of the matter:

“The Al Franken campaign today tried to stuff new
ballots into the ballot box in a brazen, last minute act of
desperation. We have raised concerns repeatedly about these types
of tactics by the Franken campaign. Today is further evidence of
their intent to use whatever means necessary to counter the
decision of the people of Minnesota. We applaud the actions of the
Hennepin County Canvassing Board in rejecting this blatant,
desperate act.”

The “desperation” point is key. The Franken campaign is running out
of ways to steal the election. So they are flailing for lame
mechanisms to do so.

They are afraid.

Dems: Count the ballots we are still printing!

The Democrats are trying to steal a Senate seat in Minnesota.
The Coleman campaign is trying to block the counting of 32 ballots
because they were riding around with a Democratic election official
for 3 days. Surely you can trust those right? From the
AP:

The request from Coleman’s campaign said Minneapolis
elections director Cynthia Reichert called its office at 7:45 p.m.
Friday and reported that 32 ballots had been found and would be
counted the next morning.

“We were actually told they had been riding around in her car
for several days, which raised all kinds of integrity questions,”
said Coleman’s attorney, Fritz Knaak.

The integrity of our elections depends on the physical integrity of
our ballots. But the loony

left that doesn’t mind government being a criminal enterprise
when its their government is insisting that all the votes be
counted. Perhaps the netroots ought to get out their printers and
print out a couple thousand more absentee ballots to guarantee they
can win.

Minnesota Democrats Exposed, the only decent source of
information on the recount

Last week,
I wrote that the links between ACORN, Ohio Secretary of State
Jennifer Brunner, and the group Secretary of State Project were
concerning. I asked how many other Secretaries of State were backed
by ACORN.

Well. There’s a recount in Minnesota that will determine whether
Norm Coleman keeps his seat. And another ACORN backed, Secretary of
State Project-backed candidate will be doing the recount. Let’s see
what they say about Ritchie.

The Secretary of State Project describes him as:

In 2006, the SoS Project helped elect one of the most
progressive Secretaries of State in the nation, Mark
Ritchie. How he got his start in politics? As a community
organizer.

The SoS
Project describes Brunner and Ritchie as their success stories.
Recall that Brunner tried to throw out all of the McCain absentee
ballot applications, violated federal law by sepcifically directing
Ohio to turn off validity checks on registration, and encouraged
county election officials to not allow Republican election
officials to observe voting. In every case, courts said she was
simply wrong. There is a reason that SoS Project backed Ritchie,
just like they backed Brunner. Partisanship at the cost of
electoral integrity.

Here’s Ritchie’s background. He used
his government office for political gain:

Ritchie acknowledged asking a campaign volunteer to copy a list
of participants in a civic engagement program through the secretary
of state’s office to his campaign newsletter, which included a
political contribution request.

He was endorsed by
ACORN.

So we have a guy who was elected by a group whose practices
encourage at least voter registration fraud and make it easier to
cheat in elections. He was elected by a group that is seeking to
make sure that the people who count votes are partisans, and their
other success story in 2006 has been shot down by the court
repeatedly in her attempts to rig Ohio elections. And he misused
government resources for political purposes.

This is the guy counting the votes. Who is he going to dance
with? The ones that brought him? We know how they play.

Fox28 in South Bend, Indiana has a report of an attempt to mislead voters. After a voter told the caller that she supported John McCain, the caller said that her vote had been recorded, and she didn’t need to vote on election day:

She says she received a phone call from a woman claiming to be an elections official. “This young lady was saying they’re doing something new and something different and I don’t have to go out and vote,” she said. The caller said people could now vote by phone and asked her who she wanted to vote for. The woman said John McCain. She was then told her vote was cast and she didn’t need to vote Tuesday.

Watch it:

Hat Tip: Frugal Hoosiers

During the primaries, Election Journal

produced a little video to remind you of our greatest hits and how
serious voter fraud can be:

Palestra.net
finds that Barack Obama campaign staffer (described on an
Obama site as a field organizer and at a Zoroastrian site as
Obama staff) Minwalla Farah is registered to vote in 3 states.

Meet Farah Minwalla, an Obama field organizer in North Carolina.
She registered to vote in Mecklenburg County, NC on October
4. According to county auditor reports, the
address Minwalla used belongs to a Wanda Nabors. But oddly
– Minwalla is also registered to vote in New York AND Nevada. All
three registrations are listed as active. So, is she a resident of
North Carolina, Nevada or New York? Technically, it appears she
could vote in all three.

Minwalla’s online bio for NextGenNow says she is currently
pursuing a degree in English and Journalism in New York City. As
recently as July, Minwalla wrote a review for a band in Brooklyn,
but now she’s registered to vote in swing state North Carolina. The
latest RealClearPolitics poll shows Obama ahead by 0.3 percent, in
New York Obama leads by 29.7 percent. As I’ve heard so often from
campaigners, every vote counts.

I checked the voter file and found that Minwalla registered on
the day of the Nevada Caucus with a mailing address in  New
York.  The Nevada caucus allowed registration and
participation on the same day. Yet, two weeks later, someone with
the same name, New York City address, and birthday voted in the New
York Presidential primary.  She registered at the New York
City address in 2007.

I have not been able to confirm the North Carolina registration,
but the evidence looks solid.

It’s not just the coal industry he has it in for

Below,
Moe writes on some shocking statements by Barack Obama about
“bankrupting the coal industry” in order to address global
warming.

Obama has it in for another industry: agriculture. Check out
these statements from
an interview he gave with Time’s Joe Klein:

As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is
contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector.
And in the mean time, it’s creating monocultures that are
vulnerable to national security threats, are now vulnerable to
sky-high food prices or crashes in food prices, huge swings in
commodity prices, and are partly responsible for the explosion in
our healthcare costs because they’re contributing to type 2
diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that
are driving our huge explosion in healthcare costs. That’s just one
sector of the economy.

He is blaming our agriculture policy for global warming,
obesity, stroke, heart disease, etc.

If he is willing to “bankrupt” the coal industry over global
warming, what’s he going to do to the agriculture sector which
“actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our
transportation sector”?
