How the DoJ allowed voter fraud in Minnesota
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/07/10/audio-how-the-doj-allowed-voter-fraud-in-minnesota/
Former Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams has blown the whistle on politicization within Justice in enforcing election laws, specifically the laws requiring cleaning voter
rolls of the deceased and convicted felons. While the main focus of the media (such as it is) has been on the politics of the issue, Adams wants to get more of a focus on the consequences of
politicization. He talks with Twin Cities talk-show host Chris Baker about the impact of this politicization in Minnesota, a subject that Minnesota Majority knows all too well. The conservative
organization has spent the past 20 months attempting to get the attention of the DoJ on this very subject, to no avail: |

DOJ Whistleblower: Obama Administration is Planning November Vote Fraud
http://www.uncoverage.net/2010/07/doj-whistleblower-obama-administration-is-planning-november-vote-fraud/
Posted on 07 July 2010
Organized and intentional voter fraud is what
we have suspected of the "community-organizer-in-chief" Barack Obama and now the proof. A very brave former employee who was working under Obama political appointees has quit his job and is
spilling the truth to Fox News and Pajamas Media. Tea parties and Republican party organizations around the country should take note, clean up those voter rolls in every county and
organize volunteers to monitor each and every polling place in this country.
Former Department of Justice attorney and now whistleblower J. Christian Adams keeps lobbing more "political grenades" at the Obama administration.
Adams has now testified under
oath to the U.S. Civil Rights commission that the "motor voter" registration records will not be purged for ineligible voters (dead, illegal aliens) in time for the November 2010 election,
per orders from the Obama adminstration.
Pajamas Media says it has even more Department of Justice employees who are willing to step forward and support Adams.
John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, who has written extensively on voter fraud over the years, asks today in his column:
"Who Will Investigate the Investigators?" Who, indeed? What will become of this democracy if our election is stolen?

Stealing Elections "If they make Puerto Rico a state and legalize the illegals we will be in trouble."- Keith at the DeLand 9/12 meeting Saturday night.
We
need to keep a eye on the Progressives or we may be wondering what happened next election. If Progressives bring Puerto Rico in it will be hard to have a conservative victory in either this or
the next election. I saw some disbelief in the group after I said that so I wanted everyone to see the possibility as Glenn Beck outlined it in April.
Puerto Rican Statehood Ahead?
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
By Glenn Beck
I want to talk to you about the fundamental transformation of America. It could happen tomorrow. (Update - HR 2499 Passed the Next Day)
But first, you have to understand progressives. What is it that progressives believe?
· Big government, power and control: It's not about Democrats or Republicans, people. It's power and
control. You can't choose for yourself. You're too dumb, so progressives will choose and regulate everything for you
· Democratic elections: This is important to progressives. You'll hear it
"democratically elected" to refer to leaders like Hitler, Chavez and Castro - all democratically elected
· Social justice: Collective redemption through the government: Call it socialism, Marxism, whatever - it's all about the redistribution of wealth
Now, I want to talk to you about Puerto Rico. Understand: This is not about Hispanics. It's not about freedom. It's about power and control.
Puerto Rico is a self-governing commonwealth, but
is subject to U.S. jurisdiction and sovereignty. It's been a U.S. territory since after the Spanish-American War of 1898. They're not an independent country. It's similar to Guam, the Virgin
Islands and American Samoa. Some people like it, others don't; they get to enjoy many of the benefits of America - like protection - and they don't have to pay any taxes. That's a pretty sweet
deal.
So it's no wonder "the people" have consistently voted against becoming America's 51st state; three times since 1967 - the latest in 1998. It's always been the same
question: Do you want to be a state?
Now, let's take you to Washington, where there's important vote happening: HR 2499 - it's called "The Puerto Rico Democracy Act." Gosh darn
it, who could be against that? The bill is a non-binding resolution, supposedly to support Puerto Rico's "self-determination" on if they want to be a state or not.
That's so cute.
Wait, I thought they already had a right to vote? They do. So I'm left with the question: Why do they need a non-binding resolution to support their self-determination? Is there something going
on that I'm not aware of that is so important that we need to take attention away from the economy or immigration?
We've asked some of the Republicans in Congress who are supporting this bill and here are some of the answers:
"This is a vote about freedom."
"This vote does not grant Puerto Rico statehood, it simply gives Puerto Ricans the right to determine if statehood is something they want for themselves."
See, I thought they
already had that. Three times they voted on that. It's almost like something else is going on. But remember, they keep telling me it's "non-binding."
If I just trusted
progressives. With progressives, democratic elections always comes with a trick. For instance, Hitler was democratically elected. But as the chancellor, not the fuhrer. Whether it be through
parliamentary tricks or corruption, it's important to progressives to have the appearance of "the republic." Remember: They went through the democratic process for health care.
So what's the trick?
HR 2499 - if it passes - would force a yes or no vote in Puerto Rico on whether Puerto Rico should maintain the "current status" of the island. Wait, that's not
a vote on statehood. That's a vote on do you want to "maintain the status quo."
Let me ask you this: Do you want to maintain the status quo of America? ACORN's Bertha Lewis would
agree with me and say no, I don't want our current direction. But we would disagree on the reasons why.
See the trick?
In the past, statehood fails because some people like the status
quo, some want to be a state and some want to be independent. There are too many choices, too many options. They need to unite people. Do you want to maintain the status quo unites them, not on
the answer but on the question.
See, the folks that like the status quo are more likely to vote for statehood than independence.
In 1998, there were five options on the ballot: Limited
self-government; free association; statehood; sovereignty and none of the above. Which one won? None of the above.
But now, the vote is going to happen in two stages. The first stage: Do you
want to maintain the status quo? Then a chair is removed. The second vote leaves you with three choices: statehood; full independence or modified commonwealth.
Remember, full independence
and modified commonwealth historically get less than 3 percent of the vote. So those options will be the only thing standing in the way of Puerto Rico becoming a state.
But Glenn, it's
non-binding. Big deal! True, but here's where if you don't know history, you are destined to repeat it. Let me introduce something to you called the Tennessee Plan. (This is probably going to
sound like a conspiracy theory, but I have one thing the conspiracy theories never have.)
OK - so the Tennessee Plan, you've probably never heard of it unless you are from Tennessee or
Alaska. Apparently, some of those who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution haven't heard of it either. When Tennessee first came to the Union, it had a different name; it was first
called "Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio." It was a U.S. territory, just like Puerto Rico is now.
But instead of waiting for Congress to decide if they wanted to make the territory a state, they took a different, bold route: They forced the issue themselves:
· They elected delegates for Congress
· They voted on statehood
· They drafted a state constitution
· And applied for statehood
· Then, when Congress dragged their feet, they went to the Capitol and demanded to be seated
Congress was unsure of how to proceed; this was the first territory going for statehood. They relented and Tennessee became America's 16th state.
Alaska did many of the same things.
Again, the Tennessee plan in a nutshell:
· Unsuccessfully petitioning Congress for admission
· Drafting a state constitution without prior congressional intervention
· Holding state elections for state officers, U.S. senators and representatives
· In some cases, sending the entire congressional delegation to Washington to demand statehood and claim their seats
· Finally, Congress has little choice but to admit a new state through the passage of a simple act of admission
Congressmen, voting for HR 2499 are like sheep being led to slaughter.
They'll say the people of Puerto Rico have a right to vote for themselves. They'll vote yes. The progressives will then present a false choice to the people. Instead of saying "do you want
to be a state?"it's "Do you want the status quo?" If voters vote no, the next vote removes the status quo from the ballot, leaving statehood against two far less popular options.
They'll vote yes for statehood. Then they'll elect their congressman and senators, they'll demand to be seated and a 51st star will be attached to the flag.
How could this happen? Look at
the immigration debate. What are Arizona and Texas being called? Racists. Anyone opposing Puerto Rico as state 51 would be called a hatemonger. Why do you hate Puerto Ricans so much? Why do you
hate freedom?
This is not about Hispanics or freedom or sovereignty. It's about power and control. If progressives convince Hispanics that everyone besides progressives are racist, you'll
have their vote for 60 years. But it's more than that.
Why are Democrats and Republicans for this? Because it's not about Republicans and Democrats. The progressives in our country know
that this is the moment they've been waiting for; every Marxist daydream they've ever had, now is their time to get it done. They are not going to let it pass. That's what's happening: The
fundamental transformation of America. And this is only the beginning.
I told that this sounds like a conspiracy theory. But who is orchestrating this effort in Puerto Rico? Lo and behold,
the New Progressive Party; from their own party platform:
"The New Progressive Party adopts the Tennessee Plan as an additional strategy for the decolonization and the claim for the
admission of Puerto Rico as the 51st State of the United States of America."
And: "This shall be done through legislation which will establish a process for the adoption and
ratification of the Constitution of the State of Puerto Rico, and the election of two senators and six federal congresspersons to appear before Congress in Washington D.C. to claim their seats
and the admission of Puerto Rico as the 51st State of the United States of America."
They're going to paint this as a vote for freedom, but Puerto Rico has already voted and they've
already spoken. When they send the delegates to Washington, if you stand against this you'll be labeled a racist |

Felons Voting Illegally May Have Put Franken Over the Top in Minnesota, Study Finds
By Ed Barnes
Published July 12, 2010
| FoxNews.com
AP
A
study finds that at least 341 convicted felons voted illegally in the election that made former "Saturday Night Live" comedian Al Franken a U.S. senator in 2008.
The six-month
election recount that turned former "Saturday Night Live" comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota's Twin
Cities.
That's the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic
Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.
The final recount vote in the
race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes -- fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota
Majority's newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.
Furthermore, the report charges that efforts to get state and federal authorities to act on its findings have been "stonewalled."
"We aren't trying to change the result of
the last election. That legally can't be done," said Dan McGrath, Minnesota Majority's executive director. "We are just trying to make sure the integrity of the next election isn't
compromised."
He said his group was largely ignored when it turned over a list of hundreds of names to prosecutors in two of the state's largest counties, Ramsey and Hennepin, where
fraud seemed to be the greatest.
A spokesman for both county attorneys' offices belittled the information, saying it was "just plain wrong" and full of errors, which prompted
the group to go back and start an in-depth look at the records.
"What we did this time is irrefutable," McGrath said. "We took the voting lists and matched them with
conviction lists and then went back to the records and found the roster lists, where voters sign in before walking to the voting booth, and matched them by hand.
"The only way we can
be wrong is if someone with the same first, middle and last names, same year of birth as the felon, and living in the same community, has voted. And that isn't very likely."
The
report said that in Hennepin County, which in includes Minneapolis, 899 suspected felons had been matched on the county's voting records, and the review showed 289 voters were conclusively
matched to felon records. The report says only three people in the county have been charged with voter fraud so far.
A representative of the Hennepin County attorney's office, who declined to give her name, said "there was no one in the office today to talk about the charges."
But the report
got a far different review in Ramsey County, which contains St. Paul. Phil Carruthers of the Ramsey County attorney's office said his agency had taken the charges "very seriously" and
found that the Minnesota Majority "had done a good job in their review."
The report says that in Ramsey, 460 names on voting records were matched with felon lists, and a further review found 52 were conclusive matches.
Carruthers attributed differences in the
numbers to Minnesota Majority's lack of access to nonpublic information, such as exact birth dates and other court records. For example, he said, "public records might show a felon was given
10 years probation, but internal records the county attorney has might show that the probation period was cut to five and the felon was eligible to vote."
Carruthers said Ramsey
County is still investigating all the names and has asked that 15 investigators be hired to complete the process. "So far we have charged 28 people with felonies, have 17 more under review
and have 182 cases still open," he said. "And there is a good chance we may match or even exceed their numbers."
McGrath says the report shows that more still has to be done.
"Prosecutors have to act more swiftly in prosecuting cases from the 2008 election to deter fraud in the future," he
said, "and the state has to make sure that existing system, that flags convicted felons so voting officials can challenge them at the ballot, is effective. In 90 percent of the cases we
looked at, the felons weren't flagged."
"If the state had done that," he said, "things might be very different today."
