At the Future of Journalism Summit in Providence, R.I.,
sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, The Franklin Center, and
Breitbart, fellow Spectator Senior Editor John Fund and I were the
two panelists this morning in a session on vote fraud. John, of
course, literally
wrote the book on vote fraud. I’ve worked on vote fraud issues
for 19 years. Here’s the rub: All over the country, evidence of
vote fraud being a massive problem in American elections — but the
big-time establishment media ignores it. The good news is that
conservatives are on to it; conservative journalists and bloggers
will exxpose it; and organizations like True the Vote are working
to combat it. This is important. The sanctity of our elections is
at stake.

Don't forget the efforts of courageous reporters like Eric Shawn of Fox News. He and the Fox News channel are the only big media companies that doing anything remotely to bring the attention of the American public to the problem of vote fraud

If not already aware, everyone should get up to speed on what Rick Scott of Florida is doing concerning this issue, and the fact that Holder's DofJ has recently instituted some form of legal injunction against them. Scott/Florida are purging the state's voting rolls of dead people etc so that other Acorn-types cannot discover the names of same and substitute fraudent voters to vote as the dead persons. Scott/Florida has told the DofJ that they will not abide by the injunction until it is proven legally that same is based upon legal facts etc [and not just DofJ's opinion]. All other states need to follow Scott's/Florida's lead on this procedure!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose that's why you've been writing so many articles on the efforts of the governor of Florida to suppress people's right to vote.

It has always been about cheating with you. You have grown to depend on those voting slots. You need to get used to the idea that it is going to be harder to cheat in the future. The dead have won you elections in the past but those days are over.
Oldefarte| 6.10.12 @ 10:51AM
It's not suppression to require everyone to ID themselves, and to have to prove who/what they are. That is why states require a photo ID driver's license, so that law inforcement can ID motorists suspected of breaking the law, why retailers demand a photo ID of a purchaser of their products, etc. I'm sick and tired of you AH's constantly talking about SUPRESSION OF PEOPLES' RIGHTS. Talk about instead these same peoples' RESPONSIBILITY TO SOCIETY, the responsibility to vote properly in their own name, in their own person; and not vote disguised as another person. Take your ''''RIGHTS''''''and shove them where the SUN DON'T SHINE!!!!!!!

You really don't expect him to say, "look I want my party to be able to cheat using inflated rolls to get extra votes. Both voter ID and updating the rolls to eliminate the dead and those that shouldn't be voting get in the way of this." No we have got used to his obfuscating. An ID and a clean roll is what anybody but a cheater would want. The left is addicted to bad.

i am all in favor of the governor of Florida suppressing the rights of dead people and illegal aliens to vote
Oldefarte| 6.11.12 @ 10:02AM

Keep up the good work, Quin (and John Fund too) and thank-you.
Many states' voting procedures offer very poor protection against vote fraud. The 2000 Florida recount should have impressed the public on the need for a secure election process ensuring that 1) only legally qualified citizens are registered, each voter is allowed only one vote; and 3) all votes are accurately counted (no more changing standards and guessing voter intent staring at dimpled chads) . The integrity of our governments depend upon legitimate elections. Needed reform should be a bi-partisan issue. Because it isn't, I guess one party seeks to prosper with the status quo.

O.K. but the Spectator has almost silent on two issues. The first, military votes aren't being counted, especially in Democrat-held areas and nothing is being done to correct it. Second, a Spanish company will be counting the votes in this years POTUS election. Links below:

Other states are trying to clean their rolls up, also. The Secretary of State in Michigan, a Republican, reports purging the voting rolls of over 150,000 ineligible people. These include people who are dead, voters who are now in prison, and voters who are also registered in at least one other state. In a state of 7,307,878 registered voters, these ineligible "voters" would provide a 2% swing in an election outcome.
I'm glad the Republicans are finally cleaning up the voting rolls.
