No one should be surprised or
shocked with the information published by The Heritage Foundation about voter
fraud. This site gives the following information about voter fraud: 1,177 proven instances of
voter fraud, 1,019 criminal convictions, 48 civil penalties, 81 diversion
program, 14 judicial finding, and 15 official finding. You can find the
information for any state. I repeat that these are proven cases of voter fraud.
Conservatives have, for years, been
trying to clean up voter rolls and make sure that only living Americans vote
and vote only once. Democrats, on the other hand, register dead people and
encourage people to vote more than once. They even encouraged illegal aliens to
vote in our elections. Just a few days ago Nancy Pelosi suggested that all the “newcomers”
coming across the border illegally should have the right to vote! This site looked at The Heritage Foundation information and wrote the following.
The Heritage Foundation has released documentation
revealing nearly 1,200 “proven” instances of voter fraud in just the last
couple of years….
It found a long list of ways to cheat in
the American elections.
They include ballot-petition fraud,
which involves forging the signatures of registered voters. Another is buying
votes, simply paying voters to cast a ballot one particular way. A third is
duplicate voting, where voters register in more than one jurisdiction.
Then there are false registrations,
using a phony name or fake address, fraudulent use of absentee ballots, which
involves getting someone else’s ballot and turning it in, and illegal “assistance”
at the polls. That’s forcing or intimidating voters – particularly the elderly,
disabled, illiterate, and those for whom English is a second language – “to
vote for particular candidates.”
Impersonation involves voting in the
name of someone else – who is a legitimate voter, and ineligible voting covers
illegal registrations and voting by those who are not citizens, or are
convicted felons.
There are many ways to commit voter
fraud, and some of the people who do so are quite brave. It has not been too
many years since Anchorage discovered that one of its police officers was an
illegal alien. Here is some of the latest news on this want-a-be officer.
Records from the Alaska Division of
Elections reveal that a former Anchorage Police Officer convicted on federal
charges for false claims of citizenship and passport fraud has voted repeatedly
in federal, state, and local elections in Alaska dating back to 1991. Raphael
Mora-Lopez – a.k.a. Raphael A. Espinoza – voted most recently in 2010, casting
ballots in the local municipal elections as well as both primary and general
state-wide elections. In all he voted no less than 41 times over a 20-year
period.
Mora-Lopez
was not charged with any of the 41 counts of voter fraud – a class C felony in
the State of Alaska. The State did press charges over the $27,000 that
Mora-Lopez obtained from Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend payouts, but they
only slapped his hands. He was sentence to 24 months in jail but all 24 months
were suspended.
The Alaska Division of Elections
purged Mora-Lopez’s name from the voter rolls, but officials do not seem
over-anxious to correct the weaknesses that allowed him to commit voter fraud
in the first place and to restore residents’ confidence in the integrity of
Alaskan elections. Alaska is supposedly a conservative state, and it is not
taking action to insure integrity in its system. There is little wonder that
there are bigger problems in the liberal states.
