Are there ANY Signs of GOP Cheating or Fraud Yet?

Question

Has anyone heard anthing on Republican Fraud so far....please post a link if so.

Answer 1

Lauran Ingraham, A right wing radio host, urged her listeners to jam phone lines intended to help voter fraud. See link # 1 below.

Troops overseas received info on how to vote for Foley's replacement, but were told nothing of the opposing party. See link #2 below.

The FBI is currently looking into complaints of voter intimidation in Virginia where incumbent Allen (R) is struggling to keep his seat. See link #3 below

Daggett County in Utah has more registered voters than they do residents. The story also indicates that the fraud here was intended to help republicans. See link #4 below.

Fraudulent "robo-calls" in Nebraska were obviously created to deter or discourage voters from voting democrat. See link # 5 below.

And keep in mind, this is just a few. The voting stations aren't even closed yet. Democracy is at stake. We need to wake up.

Answer 2

Interesting that you say "yet." I'm a Democrat, but I'm ashamed to say that most of the fraud is by my own party.

I live in Ohio; during the 2004 Presidential election the only fraud that was proved was an attempt by a voter recruiter employed by the NAACP (surely he wasn't stumping for Bush) to submit 200 fraudulent voter registrations. He was caught on his way to deliver the registrations when he stopped off to sell some recreational pharmaceuticals and was arrested.

The thugs who have taken over my party rant and rave about dirty tricks, but during the last election the only dirty trick that was proved (that is, in court where MSNBC doesn't get to decide the rules of evidence) was in Wisconsin where Democratic Party operatives were convicted of slashing the tires of the Republic Party's vans to be used on election day to ferry votes to the polls.

The only election that was decided by fraud (again, proved) of which I'm aware was the 1994 Maryland Governor's election. Parris Glendenning defeated Ellen Sauerbrey, who charged fraud and sued. A year and a half into Glendenning's term a judge ruled that the election outcome had in fact been determined by fraud in Baltimore (dead people voting), but declined to overturn the election reuslts because there was no proof that Glendenning had any direct participation in the fraud.

No, we haven't heard any stories about GOP cheating or fraud. Yet.

Answer 3

Well take a load of this:

"November 7, 2006 - Virginia election officials say an FBI investigation is under way into reported attempts to intimidate voters.

As voters head to polls in a closely watched US Senate race, agents are looking into reports of phone calls apparently aimed at sending people to the wrong polling places - or tricking them into staying home.

Authorities say voters in several cities got calls in recent days telling them their polling places had changed, when they had not.

An elections official says the FBI is on the case because the state board lacks investigative power. A telephone call left for the FBI's Richmond office Tuesday afternoon wasn't immediately returned.

A campaign statement from Democrat Jim Webb's office says the calls to voters were intended to confuse Virginians and keep them from voting. A consultant with Senator George Allen's office says the calls aren't coming from them."

Answer 4

No, and it wouldn't be the GOP or the DNC that would be guilty of cheating, it would be individual voters of either party. I did hear something about liquid paper being poured into a ballot box but I'm not sure if its confirmed or which party the suspect was involved with.

Answer 5

NO but there's just as much chance that the Democrats will CHEAT or commit FRAUD. Kind of like the election where JFK's father paid big money to steal the election in Chicago.

Fraud isn't limited to one group of people. Get a grip.

Answer 6

A few weeks ago there was someone on the GOP side sending letters to hispanic voters telling them that they weren't eligible to vote. I don't have a link but the news stories were everywhere.

Answer 7

The closest thing that COULD be construed as GOP cheating is the long lines, especially if they are occurring in strong Democratic ares, or in areas with Deibold machines (especially if votes are lost,etc.).

Answer 8

CNN reported this AM that Florida polls opened late due to problems with the machines. And we all know how things are done in Florida....they also reported possible voter suppression in Virginnia. I'm sure they'll investigate that.

Answer 9

GOP fraud? It has been the Democrats that have a history of cheating. Chicago Ill had the dead voting. It is the Dems that are calling fowl like little kids. Dems want to change the rules when they are losing.

Answer 10

Not today, but Tan Nguyen's campaign in Califorina sent lettes to registered Hispanic voters, informing them they would be imprisoned or deported if they vote on election day. He denied any involvement, but officials searched his office and seized some computers and evidence.
