Voters Take to Social Media to Report Massive Vote Fraud

The efficacy of the voting process is being called into question today as people report massive vote fraud on social media websites.

Twitchy.com has posted a number of Tweets from people who say they either voted more than once or somebody had previously voted using their names.

“A friend of mine (former GOP official) showed up to vote in VA this morning and was informed he’d already done so. He had not,” one tweet complained. “Voted voted voted! I voted three times,” said another.

A Republican voter in Nevada was arrested last week for attempting to vote twice. Nevada’s Election Integrity Task Force was investigating other alleged incidents of vote fraud in the state.

In early October, Project Veritas covertly recorded a Obama for America campaign staffer instructing an undercover reporter posing as a Obama activist how to vote twice.

While the Democratic National Committee quickly fired Regional Field Director Stephanie Caballero after House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Lamar Smith called for Democrats to fire all paid staffers involved in vote fraud, the clandestinely recorded encounter revealed a disturbing mindset – an undetermined number of Obama activists believe fraud is acceptable to get Obama back in the White House for a second term.

Democrats vehemently oppose any sort of voter identification requirement at the polls. They claim the effort to eliminate vote fraud is a scheme by Republicans to disenfranchise voters who are “are disproportionately low-income, disabled, minority, young, and older,” according to the Democratic National Committee.

Reports Of Voting Machine Problems, Vote Flipping Begin to Pour In

Multiple reports of electronic voting machine irregularities have begun to pour in from all over the country as Americans take to the polls today.

Voters in Hamilton County Indianapolis were forced to wait for 30 minutes to begin voting because the machines were not working when the polling station opened.

The AP reports that “cards used to clear tallies from machines before voting begins were improperly programmed,” meaning that around 500 machines had to be “reset”.

The Toledo Blade reports that some 100 voters were unable to cast ballots this morning in Bedford, Ohio, because a voting machine was not working. Officials said that a memory card had to be replaced. Long lines led to people walking away.

In Dubuque, Iowa, more voters were delayed when machines failed to operate for around 45 minutes after the polling station opened.

Reports from across North Carolina, one of the key swing states, are pouring in suggesting that voting machines are flipping votes from one candidate to the other.

In Greensboro, “a voter complained that they tried to vote for Mitt Romney three times but that the ballot cast was instead for Barack Obama. Other voters in Guilford County and in some other parts of the state said they experienced similar issues.”

In Charlotte, another voter reported the same problem.

In Rehoboth, Massachusetts problems with voting machines were also noted. The machines officials are using are 14 years old, according to the report. Problems were also reported in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.

In Milford Township, Pennsylvania, three voting machines stopped working after just one hour of voting. After a technician got them working again, one of them broke down a second time, causing waiting voters to begin discussing their distrust of the machines and the potential for voter fraud.

In Crawford County, problems with machines were also reported. They had not been set to the correct time, so were unable to be used for a short period of time.

In Missouri, the Secretary of State’s office has been forced to respond after numerous voters claimed that machines were flipping votes for Romney to votes for Obama.

In Pittsburgh, voters have reported multiple problems with voting machines.

In Sandy Springs, Georgia, hundreds of people were delayed when voting machines went down at around 11 a.m.

In Nashville, Tennessee, technical issues with the machines were reported by many voters, while inChattanooga, machines malfunctioned, meaning some voters had to put their ballots in the machine without them being scanned.

In Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, hundreds of voters were turned away as all of the electronic voting machines at one polling station failed to operate. Polling workers only had 50 paper ballots available. Worse still, some voters who used the machines were told that their votes would not count if they had placed them before 8am.

In Spartanburg County, South Carolina, voting machines have failed to work all day and election officials have twice run out of paper ballots.

In Faulkner County, Arkansas, machines were reported inoperable.

Some areas in Virginia reported voting machine problems.

Voters in California have complained that voting machines switched their votes for Obama to Romney.

A video uploaded to YouTube today purports to show a voting machine flipping a vote for Obama to a vote for Romney. The voter notes:

“I first thought the calibration was off and tried selecting Jill Stein to actually highlight Obama. Nope. Jill Stein was selected just fine. Next I deselected her and started at the top of Romney’s name and started tapping very closely together to find the ‘active areas’. From the top of Romney’s button down to the bottom of the black checkbox beside Obama’s name was all active for Romney. From the bottom of that same checkbox to the bottom of the Obama button (basically a small white sliver) is what let me choose Obama. Stein’s button was fine. All other buttons worked fine.”

A jump in the video before the voter presses the button has caused some to suspect that the footage has been altered. The YouTube user insists this is not the case, and that the jumping is because of his cell phone camera. Decide for yourself below:

Last week this same problem was reported in six other states.

In Ohio, a lawsuit has been filed following the installation of software into voting machines by the state that experts say could allow “back door” vote manipulation by non-election board officials.

Green Party candidate Robert J. Fitrakis filed papers yesterday in federal court in Columbus, seeking an order blocking the use of the machines and the software in vote counting. Named as defendants in the case are Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted and Omaha, Nebraska- based Election Systems & Software Inc.

As we have routinely reported during elections, electronic voting machines have caused significant problems. Many security experts are adamant that the machines can easily be hacked, and past cases have shown that vote fraud has been facilitated by the use of electronic voting machines.

Philly GOP: Poll inspectors being ousted for Dems

Paul Bedard

The Washington Examiner
November 6, 2012

Court-appointed Republican poll inspectors are being forcibly removed from voting stations in some Philadelphia wards and replaced in some cases by Democratic inspectors and even members of the Black Panthers, according to GOP officials.

Secrets just received this memo from GOP officials:

The Philadelphia GOP is reporting that court appointed Minority (read GOP) Inspectors are being thrown out of polling locations in several Wards.

These Inspectors are election officials – again, court appointed — and are reportedly being thrown out by the Head Judges of Elections (these Judges are elected Democrats) and being replaced by Democrats.

Obama: “You Know I Tell The Truth” – FACT CHECK

You know when Obama is lying because his lips are moving

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet.com
November 6, 2012

During a campaign event in New Hampshire, Barack Obama told an audience of his supporters, “you know I tell the truth.”

Here are ten flagrant examples where Obama has not told the truth and in fact has lied to cover up his own administration’s failings, or as a deliberate act of deception.

1) As part of his 2008 campaign pledge, Obama promised to close down Guantanamo Bay. The Obama administration not only failed to close the infamous prison camp, they expanded its use.

2) Last year (after campaigning to protect Habeas Corpus before he was elected), Obama promised not to sign the National Defense Authorization Act, with its provisions for the indefinite detention of American citizens, yet put his signature on the bill in the dead of night on New Year’s Eve. Indeed, it was the Obama administration itself which argued for the removal of language that would have protected Americans from the provisions and then had them re-instituted after a court had struck them down.

3) Obama has lied time and time again about Operation Fast and Furious, the program which saw guns delivered directly into the hands of Mexican drug lords. Obama told a national television station that the program had begun under Bush when in fact it began under Obama’s watch in October 2009.

4) Emails sent shortly after the incident as well as a CBS 60 Minutes interview from September 12 prove that the White House knew the assault on the US Consulate in Benghazi was a pre-meditated terrorist attack yet the administration spent over a week claiming the incident was a protest against a You Tube video.

5) As part of his campaign pitch, Obama promised to “not use signing statements as a way of doing an end run around Congress.” Obama has issued no less than 19 signing statements since he took office.

6) In 2010, Obama said “we’ve excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions.” Not only have dozens of lobbyists had regular access to the White House, but Obama has hired over a dozen lobbyists, breaking a campaign promise to ensure that lobbyists “won’t find a job in my White House.”

7) As part of his efforts to bypass congressional authorization for the war on Libya, Obama gave a speech in which he promised there would be “no boots on the ground” in Libya. This promise was broken when four uniformed military personnel were sent into Libya, in addition to widespread reports that US Special Forces had arrived in Libya months before the overthrow of Gaddafi.

8) Under Obamacare, Obama claimed that there would be no state-funded abortions. It later emergedthat federally funded abortions would be expanded under Obamacare.

9) In 2008, Obama promised “no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens.” Just months after he took office, Obama expanded Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program. The invasiveness of illegal wiretapping is worse under Obama than it was under Bush.

10) Before the passage of Obamacare, Obama claimed that the bill was “absolutely not a tax increase” on all Americans. When the Supreme Court rubber-stamped Obamacare, they were only able to do so byclassifying the new mandate as a tax, otherwise it would have been unconstitutional.

Tell the truth? Obama doesn’t know the meaning of the word.

Final Ohio Poll shows Romney, Obama in virtual dead heat

Meghashyam Mali

The Hill
November 6, 2012

The final Ohio Poll, released late Monday, finds President Obama with a lead over GOP nominee Mitt Romney, 50 percent support to 48.5.

The president’s edge is within the poll’s 3-point margin of error and marks little change since last week’s poll, which gave the president a 2-point lead.

In the state’s Senate race, the Ohio Poll also finds Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown topping GOP contender Josh Mandel with 51 percent support to 47.

The final Ohio Poll is the latest in a number of surveys that show the crucial battleground is still a toss-up as voters head to the polls.

Are Military Voters Being Suppressed?

Kurt Hyde

New American
November 6, 2012

Numerous news sources are reporting reduced requests for absentee ballots by military personnel and their families this year compared to 2008. A Human Events article dated September 27 noted significant drops in applications for absentee ballots by military voters in swing states such as Ohio and Virginia. The article reported:

In the pivotal swing state of Ohio, roughly 9,700 absentee ballots had been requested by military and overseas voters as of Sept. 22, compared with well over 32,000 in 2008 total ballots cast for those groups. In Virginia, another swing state with a significant military presence, the nearly 12,300 military and overseas ballots requested so far are something less than 30 percent of the more than 41,700 absentee military and overseas cast four years ago.

The September 22 date is significant because that was 45 days before the election. Forty-five days is the lead time established by the federal government as sufficient for an absentee ballot to be mailed to military voter and have ample time to be completed and mailed back to be counted. All military voters are strongly encouraged to get their absentee ballots requests well in advance of this 45-day deadline.

Who Would Be Motivated To Suppress Military Voters?

Military voters are a strong conservative and Republican demographic group and have been for many years. On Oct 7 of this year,Military Times released the results of its presidential poll of 3,100 active and reserve troops and reported: “Military Times Poll: Romney bests Obama, 2-1.” This year’s poll is consistent with their poll of four years ago when the results were published in the October 28, 2008 issue of The Air Force Times. Even in the electoral disaster for Republicans in 2008 with John McCain at the top of the ticket, the poll indicated 68 percent of those polled said they would vote for McCain and only 23 percent indicated they would vote for Democrat nominee Barack Obama.

The military voters are also a conservative demographic group within the Republican Party as witnessed by their campaign donations. Ron Paul’s donations from active military far surpassed the other Republican candidates during the nomination process. The obvious beneficiaries of suppressing the military vote would be the more liberal candidates.

Military Voters’ Experiences in the Past

Florida 2000

While the liberal news media was focusing its attention on the hanging chads in the Florida recount in the presidential election of 2000, another vote counting activity was largely ignored — The military absentee ballots. Author and television newscaster Bill Sammon reported numerous examples in his book, At Any Cost:  How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election, of how much effort was expended disqualifying military absentee ballots. Here’s an example from Duval County:

“At 4:11 A.M. — more than nineteen hours after it began — the nightmarish battle over Duval’s military ballots finally came to an end. Duval was the last of Florida’s sixty-seven counties to complete the arduous task. When the canvassing board announced that the ballots of 149 soldiers, sailors, and airmen had been disqualified, a pair of jubilant Gore lawyers exchanged high-fives.

A Republican, visibly shaken by this sight, demanded to know how they could celebrate the disenfranchisement of U.S. military members risking their lives around the world. One of the Gore lawyers glibly replied: ‘A win’s a win.’ ”

Another example from Florida in 2000 that was cited in Sammon’s book was the ballot cast by Navy Lieutenant John Russell. His case made national news when his ballot was disqualified because it didn’t have a postmark. Lieutenant Russell’s ballot envelope didn’t have a postmark because it didn’t need a stamp. He mailed his absentee ballot from the U.S. Navy ship to which he was assigned. It arrived in Duval County, Florida before election day, so there was no question regarding whether or not it was mailed in a timely manner. Still, it was disqualified because of a lack of a postmark.

Val Verdi County, Texas, 1996

Military absentee ballots made the difference in the Val Verde County, Texas election in 1996. What happened as a result of that election has been virtually ignored by the liberal news media, but was given major coverage in the military news sources. A February 3, 1997 Air Force Times article entitled “Federal Lawsuit Ignites A Political Firestorm / Troops And Spouses Who Voted Absentee Face Grilling” listed details of what was required by all voters who voted absentee, most of whom were military:

“They thought were simply exercising their right to vote, but about 800 troops and troops’ spouses now find themselves under court order to answer questions about their criminal records, bank accounts and organization memberships.… The questions are part of a 21-page, 54-question deposition that has been sent to voters who cast absentee ballots in Val Verde County, Texas, home of Laughlin Air Force Base and about 150 miles west of San Antonio.”

The article went on to say: “They are also asked approximately how many nights, if any, they have spent in Val Verde in each of the last four years; whether and where they have been a member of a parent-teacher association or any other organization; and whether they had a subscription with any Val Verde newspaper at the time of the election.”

The lawsuit was filed by a federally funded organization, Texas Rural Aid, with a goal of overturning the election results.

Federal law allows military people to change their residence to any state while they are serving in the military. Of course, the U.S. Constitution does not grant that power to the federal government. Many people change their state of residence to Texas when they are stationed at military bases in Texas because Texas doesn’t have a state income tax. They register to vote in Texas and keep Texas as their state of residence so they won’t be required to pay state income tax if they are transferred to a state that has a state income tax. In some cases they’d need to pay state income tax.

The article quoted Gorge Kobel, one of the plaintiff attorneys saying about the 54-question deposition to each absentee voter: “It’s intended to ask questions that should be dealt with to determine if they should be considered residents.” But this lawsuit, when compared to lawsuits regarding voter ID law, raises an inconsistency: If it’s fair to require these military voters to answer the 54-question deposition under oath to determine if they are bona fide residents of a county, how can courts disapprove of requiring voters to show a photo ID to determine if they are who they say they are and not phantom voters?

Federal Government Makes Matters Worse

In July of 2009, Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) introduced S1415, The Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act). S1415 never passed, but most of the MOVE Act became law when key provisions of it were placed into Subtitle H of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2010 (HR 2647) in committee. This is disturbingly similar to the way in which sub-sections 1021 and 1022, dealing with indefinite detainment without trial, were slipped into the NDAA for 2012.

Perhaps the worst part of this bill was the section entitled Technology Pilot Program which would allow a “Presidential designee” to implement new technologies in voting, some of them being:

the Presidential designee may consider the following issues:

(1) The transmission of electronic voting material across military networks.

(2) Virtual private networks, cryptographic voting systems, centrally controlled voting stations, and

other information security techniques.

(3) The transmission of ballot representations and scanned pictures in a secure manner.

(4) Capturing, retaining, and comparing electronic and physical ballot representations

(5) Utilization of voting stations at military bases

The Obama Administration wasted no time in taking the wording above to be permission to attempt an Internet voting project for military and overseas voters. Fortunately, their pilot program was shot down when a team of computer science students at The University of Michigan proved it could be hacked from the outside.

The even bigger danger, which has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, is the role of the “Presidential designee.” Whoever runs the show also hires the people who have the master passwords. The threat of an inside job is far greater than any threat of being hacked from someone on the outside. As long as one person has that much authority, no vote in that system is safe from being altered and no “ballot box” database is safe from being stuffed.

Three years after passage, it has become obvious that the MOVE Act or Sub-Title H of the NDAA for 2010, whichever you prefer to call it, is a failure. Even if it were constitutional, it creates dangers to voting integrity sufficient to warrant its repeal.

What Is The Solution?

Too much of the absentee ballot process is not done in the open. It isn’t that hard to identify where the military voters’ absentee ballot requests and absentee ballots are being delayed or discarded. The information just isn’t available to the public.

Let’s consider a military voter stationed inside the United States. He mails his absentee ballot request to his local elections office, which in some states is at the county level and in some states elections are run by the city or town. There are only two places where his request can be discarded or significantly delayed — The U.S. Postal Service or his local elections office. If he is stationed in a remote location or on a ship, there might be an additional link in the transportation.

Today, the military voter doesn’t have the tools to learn where in the process his absentee ballot or request for one might be discarded or delayed, but he could if he were allowed to appoint a monitor. The monitor might be a friend, a spouse, or another relative — anyone the voter trusts. The monitor’s contact information would be on the outside of the envelope. When he mails his request, he notifies his monitor. When his request is received at the local voting office, the local voting office contacts the monitor. The local voting office contacts the monitor when the blank ballot is mailed and the monitor is in communication with the military voter. The process is continued until the completed ballot is received at the local elections office. The monitor will be allowed to be present and witness the absentee ballot count.

Using the procedure outlined above is not expensive in these days of texting, cell phones and email. If there is any significant delay or if the ballot or request is lost, the military voter and his monitor will know where it happened. This alone will be a deterent to keep a government employee, who might be delaying or discarding military absentee ballots as a political errand for the benefit of a politician who got him his job, from doing so because there will be evidence pointing in the general direction.

Counting the absentee ballots in public on election day would also open the process. Access to the public is the best antidote to vote fraud.

Video: Black Panthers Return To Philly Polling Place

Breitbart.com

November 6, 2012

The report about the New Black Panthers returning to the same Philadelphia polling place they were at in 2008 has been confirmed by Fox News with this video:

In 2008, the Black Panthers were filmed at this same Philadelphia polling location in full uniform and holding what looked like a baton. It was an obvious attempt at voter intimidation. Eric Holder’s Justice Department would eventually drop the charges against the Panthers, in what many claimed was a slam-dunk case of voter intimidation.

Now that the Panthers know they can get away with this kind of behavior, why not return, right?

Obama Supporters Mark Election Day With More Threats to Kill Romney

Are these young people the vanguard of “hope” and “change”?

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
November 6, 2012

Even if you dismiss the possibility that just one of the thousands of Obama supporters who have threatened to assassinate Mitt Romney if he wins the election is actually serious, the level of intelligence displayed by these individuals should be a wake up call for every American.

Following the Secret Service’s announcement that it was monitoring the threats made against Romney on Twitter over the last few weeks, the deluge of violent tweets by Obama voters has if anything increased.

Although he remains the underdog, it seems inevitable that some form of civil unrest will ensue should Romney defeat Obama, given the countless number of Obama supporters who have openly broadcast their plans to riot and stoke racial violence.

Tweets collected this morning underscore the fact that Obama supporters’ appetite for intimidation knows no bounds. It’s no surprise that given the sheer volume of threats being thrown around that some fear the Black Panthers will make a re-appearance at polling stations in an effort to intimidate voters.

The examples below are just a small selection of what people have been tweeting over the last 8 hours. Some of the tweets are from people attempting to report the original threat to the Secret Service.
