We have all heard about voter fraud; and as you will learn in reading through this citizen guide, the problem is real, widespread, and substantial to
the point that it can decide elections.

Voter Fraud — Fact or Fiction?
The Obama administration and its leftist and partisan surrogates would like you to think that voter fraud and errors on Election Day hardly exist and have had no impact on elections. We sometimes also hear claims suggesting that voter registration fraud is somehow not voter fraud. These are myths intended to mask a blatant attempt to keep this administration in office by registering people — both legally and illegally — who are likely to support President Obama and the Democratic Party. The bottom line, of course, is that all Americans who are legally eligible to vote, regardless of their political beliefs, should be able to vote…and to have that vote
counted. The perception of fraud keeps people who should vote away from the polls; and the existence of fraud can neutralize legitimate votes and even change the outcome of elections.

There are good reasons to believe that the American public needs to be reassured that elections are fair and honest. In poll after poll, for some time now, large segments of the American public have expressed their dismay with various aspects of our electoral
system. A Rasmussen poll from August of 2013 reported that only 39% of Americans believe elections are fair.

In 2012, a Monmouth University poll reported that more than two-thirds of registered voters thought voter fraud was a problem.

In 2008, when a Gallup poll asked respondents around the world whether they had “confidence in the honesty of elections,” 53% of Americans said that they did not.

These polls reveal a startling lack of faith in our electoral system.

Examples:

Evidence of a name signed multiple times on a Wisconsin petition to recall Governor Scott Walker. The name on the petition is that of a person who claims he never signed it at all.

The sad truth is that our nation’s recent history consists of far too many elections which have been called into question due to allegations of incompetence and outright misconduct. Most notable have been the abuses by ACORN and its state organizations, which in 2008 were implicated in at least 35 well-documented election fraud schemes in 17 states, leading to multiple convictions, fines, and even prison. And while ACORN activities became so nefarious, it was forced to officially disband (though, in reality, spinoff groups have survived). Project Vote, an affiliate of ACORN, remains very active in its flagrant attempts to influence elections for its leftist allies

Contrary to the claims of the Obama administration and election officials in some states, fraud, incompetence, intimidation, and inaccurate voter registration records do exist, and the consequences are alarming. In fact, according to a recent study by the non-
partisan Pew Center on the States (PCS) research organization, more than 24 million voter registration records in the United States — about one in eight — are inaccurate, out-of- date, or duplicates. Some 2.8 million people are registered in two or more states, and as many as 1.8 million registered voters are dead.

Then there’s the problem of intimidation. Perhaps the most flagrant example of interference with the election process occurred during the 2008 general election. Two members of the New Black Panther Party, Minister King Shabazz and Jerry Jackson, were charged with voter intimidation for confronting voters attempting to enter a precinct polling station in Philadelphia.

Witnesses stated that both men shouted racial slurs, including “you’re about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.” One, Shabazz, carried a billy club. Poll watchers reported that they saw voters approach the polls and then turn away after seeing the two men standing at the entrance. You may have read that Attorney General Eric Holder has been insisting that voter fraud is not a problem. Well, he pretty much has egg on his face after a video surfacedin which James O’Keefe — the undercover reporter who caught ACORN employees providing advice on how to violate tax and prostitution laws — rather easily and illegallyobtained a ballot to vote under Holder’s name in his Washington, DC precinct.Undoubtedly stung by the embarrassment, Holder, of course, struck back, and the District of Columbia Board of Elections investigated O’Keefe for “potential criminal activity.” Apparently, the Election Board is more concerned about punishing O’Keefe than ensuring the validity of the voting process.
