As a companion piece to my CFIF column earlier this week on the True the Vote summit held last weekend, here is a stats/examples-filled column for the publication affiliated with the impressive University of Mobile. An excerpt:
More numbers: In Texas, a voter must by law identify a permanent address, but in 2008 alone, 6,178 new registrants were accepted without one. Overall in Texas there are 29,345 names on the rolls with no address. In the town of Nacogdoches, 1,665 are registered from one P.O. Box. Statewide, 74,730 names of dead people remain on the rolls. In Florida, 29,935 dead people are still listed. In the largest county in Wisconsin, only 709,854 people are adults eligible to vote, but a stunning 954,008 names are on the registration lists.
John Fund also wrote about the summit, here. And Kevin Mooney, here. Katie Pavlich, here. Karen Townsend at Red County, here.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Point back to articles like these when Obama's re-election numbers don't match the exit polls.
Park Bench Registered Voter| 5.5.12 @ 11:04AM
Is Madison that largest city in Wisconsin? (I suppose this makes sense. After all, there is extra credit for Univ. of Wisconsin students, grad students, AND faculty for voting more than once, right?)
I bet one could find hundreds of thousands of combinations of 7 or 8 or 10 voters all registered at the same street address. What? This is a family of Mormons of three different generations all living under the same roof? Quakers? Mennonites? Very unlikely.
Must be murder when someone has to actually "open?" (or unload -- with forklift?) the mail in that one Nacogdoches P.O. box.
There ought to be instant alarm systems in the voter database when there are more than 5 current. active registered voters at the same address.
Alarm means: Must be checked out/verified.
Bill| 5.5.12 @ 11:16AM
I'm on board with the True the Vote, and that we must stop those 20 million amigos from voting Obama.
Oldefarte| 5.5.12 @ 11:32AM
These voters should indicate their address as being that of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave; Washington DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please follow up with what's being done. I'd like to know.

Obama’s system of local soviets, as the community organizations were known in the defunct Soviet Union, consisting of brown shirts and thugs supplied by ACORN, SEIU, AFL-CIO, AFSCME, NEA, AFT, Teamsters, Steel workers, municipal unions, ACLU lawyers, environmentalists, and other local government employees unions, is in charge of assuring the acceptable election results by illegal alien votes, by felon votes, by repeated voting of same people under manufactured names, by transporting illegal voters across voting districts, and by stuffing the voting machines with phony votes – all exactly as in those communist hells well known by us the refugees. These Obama’s striking forces will be financed in 2012 by the still unspent $8.7 billion from his original stimulus bill. AG Holder will make sure that no ID is required for voting. According to the statement by Obama – “We need a domestic military with a budget as large as that of the Pentagon” – these local soviets will soon be equipped with guns and bullets.

Marc: I think they're too gutless for guns and one of the down sides of making people dependent is you also make them dissatisfied, demanding and apathetic. The attempt to bribe through entitlement may hit a natural wall at some point, making ballot-stuffing a necessity. It could be this realization that is fueling their desperation to make sure people incompetent to get ID get to vote. It they can't get ID, they don't have the mes rea to vote, imo.
