Voter Fraud |
Nationwide voter fraud has occurred in Election 2000. If all these fraudulent votes were subtracted from Gore's total, would he really have won the popular vote? |

Friday, December 1, 2000—Hundreds of felons cast votes illegally At least 445 Florida felons voted illegally on Nov. 7, casting another cloud over a disputed presidential election already mired in legal challenges, a Herald investigation has found. The tainted votes -- found in a review of nearly half a million votes cast in 12 Florida counties -- provide evidence that the presidential race was influenced by thousands of ineligible voters. Nearly six million voters in Florida's 67 counties cast ballots. They also point out the failure of Florida's multimillion-dollar effort to prevent election fraud by eliminating dead and illegal voters from the registration rolls. "This just goes to show that the most expensive voting equipment in the world is worthless when the voting rolls are that filthy," said Deborah Phillips, president of the nonprofit Voting Integrity Project in Arlington, Va. "It's just an invitation to lower the integrity of the election." TWO KEY COUNTIES The majority of the illegal votes -- 330 -- were cast in Palm Beach and Duval counties, which decided not to participate in the statewide effort this year to purge felons, dead people and double registrants from the rolls.

| Tuesday, November 28, 2000—Felons turn up on city's list of Nov. 7 voters: Spot check shows at least 2 appear ineligible for ballots Nemencio Rivas and Rodney Marshall, both felons on probation, are not supposed to vote. But on Nov. 7, Rivas and Marshall both walked into Ward 327 at the Highland Park Housing Complex, filled out new registrant cards and cast votes for Al Gore. Felons who are still serving their sentences - including probation and parole - may not vote, under state law. If they do, they are committing a felony that is punishable by up to four years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The votes of Rivas, 20, and Marshall, 28, were uncovered during a spot check by the Journal Sentinel of the more than 750 people who registered to vote on election day at Ward 327, on the city's west side.

Tuesday, November 7, 2000—
Non-citizens vote with "Clinton card"? A mailer signed by Bill
Clinton provided unofficial, paper "voter identification cards" to
unregistered non-citizens in California, increasing the potential for
rampant voter fraud today in the battleground state with the most
electoral votes. A 20-year-old Guatemalan legally residing in Los Angeles
County received the "Clinton card" just three days before the election.
The California Democratic Party, which paid for the mailer, said
yesterday that information about recipients was taken from voter
files. Such files are open to candidates and political parties for
campaign purposes. However, WorldNetDaily today confirmed that the
woman is not registered to vote and therefore does not have a voter
file, raising serious questions as to the party's information source.
The Guatemalan woman and her mother, both of whom wish to remain
anonymous, have struggled to obtain U.S. citizenship through the
Immigration and Naturalization Service for the better part of decade, but
to no avail. Surprised to have received the mailer congratulating her
for registering to vote, the young woman contacted WND. World Net Daily article |

Tuesday, November 14, 2000—Marquette
U students voted more than once, survey finds Freshman says he did it to
draw attention to 'screwed up' system Of the 174 Marquette students
who said they voted more than once, 95 said they voted both by absentee
ballots from their home state and also in Wisconsin. Forty-one said they
voted twice in Wisconsin, 25 said they voted three times in Wisconsin and
13 said they voted four or more times in Wisconsin. McGraw, the student
editor, said the multiple voting occurred at three polling places: the
university's Alumni Memorial Union, the Highland Park Housing Complex and
Grand Avenue Middle School. McGraw stressed that all three sites were
operated by the City of Milwaukee Election Commission. "They said they saw
the system was being run poorly, wanted to show how easily it could be
abused and how it needed to be reformed," McGraw said. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article |

Fill Voter Rolls. Indianapolis, Indiana. Indiana's voter rolls are
bursting with a record 4 million names, but hundreds of thousands of them
are bogus, according to a newspaper report. The Indianapolis Star reported
yesterday that many of the people behind those names have moved, died or
gone to prison, and tens of thousands are registered in more than one
county. Sloppy record keeping makes it appear people have voted twice in
the same election, at old addresses and in one case even after death, the
newspaper reported. Report: Bogus names fill voter rolls |
| Thursday, November 5, 1998—Voter
Fraud Epidemic As part of the front-page report, headlined "Voter
Fraud: Simple as 1, 2, 3," the paper registered a fictitious voter,
"Sandra L. Klaus." Under California law, the story explained, registering
to vote requires only that individuals give a name and an address and
declare that they are eligible to vote. They are then be entered on the
rolls and sent a form -- at whatever mailing address they specify, even if
it's a post office box in another state or another country -- asking if
they would like to vote absentee. If they say yes, a ballot is then sent
to that address. The entire process can be conducted by mail without the
voter ever being asked to provide evidence of their true identity.
Elections officials make no attempt to verify the eligibility -- or even
the existence -- of people submitting voter registration forms. World Net Daily article |

Saturday, November 11, 2000—Did the
INS import votes? "The Immigration and Naturalization Service's
Florida district was engaged in a "systematic" program of speeding aliens
through the citizenship process in an effort to enhance Democratic voter
turnout on election day, according to a legal watchdog organization.
Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based public-interest legal group that
has launched a number of lawsuits against the Clinton administration, says
an INS source told the group's lawyers the program in question "is
nearly identical to the now infamous 1996 'Citizenship USA' program."
Then, Judicial Watch said, thousands of aliens -- some with criminal
backgrounds -- were "improperly and illegally rushed through the
naturalization process in order to obtain Democratic votes for the
presidential election." The Judicial Watch charges about the 1996
election have been confirmed by David Schippers, the former chief
counsel for the House Judiciary Committee who prosecuted President
Clinton's impeachment." World Net Daily article |

Backlog Reduction Program. Repeats 1996 . Citizenship USA. Scandal: INS
Examiners Given Extra 40 Hours Paid Time Off For Rushing
Naturalization Based on discussions with an Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) source, Judicial Watch said today that the
Florida District of the INS has engaged in a systematic program of rushing
aliens through the naturalization process to meet INS headquarters "
goals" by October 1, 1999 and October 1, 2000. In Florida, a new citizen
can register to vote up to October 10th. An INS source told Judicial Watch
that the program is nearly identical to the now infamous 1996 "Citizenship
USA" program, wherein thousands of aliens—some with criminal
backgrounds—were improperly and illegally rushed through the
naturalization process in order to obtain Democratic votes for the
presidential election. The Florida INS effort has been termed the
"Backlog Reduction Program,"—a neutral, bureaucratic-sounding title
designed to lower the program's visibility with the media and the general
public. INS examiners and clerks who met or exceeded headquarters goals
and quotas for the program were rewarded with various types of bonuses,
including an extra 40 hours of paid time off. Judicial Watch has also
learned that, as part of this program, non-English speakers have had
naturalization interviews illegally conducted in the alien's native
language, as well as a case where an alien without any residence, family
or business ties in the US was naturalized only three days after returning
to the US from an 11 - ½ month absence from the country. Judicial Watch article |

No Dateline—Explicit statistical
evidence of massive ballot tampering in Palm Beach, FL
Note: The following statistical analysis was sent to [Mike Reagan] by Robert Cook, PE, a
nuclear engineer, with an MS in statistical quality control, a software testing
specialist and QA manager, who has a track record for analyzing and correcting
trends, errors, and mistakes in heavy construction projects (ships, power plants,
nuclear reactors, military and aerospace vehicles, etc. for more than twenty years.
Robert Cook presents here a remarkable statistical analysis of the Palm Beach
presidential ballot controversy that deserves serious investigation. He says
that the controversial 19,120 Presidential race ballots at issue there were
destroyed by deliberate double-punching ballots in Palm Beach County FL with
a 'second punch' for Al Gore or Pat Buchanan. (In 1996, an additional 15,000
Dole and Perot ballots were destroyed by double-punching presidential ballots
in Palm Beach County, FL. *)
"It uses simplified but wide-ranging statistical comparisons to establish
beyond doubt that democratic operatives "stole" by double-punching ballots
approximately 15,000 Bush votes in Palm Beach County; and approximately
3,400 additional Buchanan votes."

2000—Seasoned Democratic Army Hits the Shores of
Florida This is the Democrats' last, best stand--their
final hope to find non-tallied votes that could put Al Gore in the White
House. Here in Broward County, a Democrat can hardly take a step without
running into a party operative from somewhere else in the country. To
scrounge for every last vote, Gore has flooded Fort Lauderdale with tough,
seasoned Democrats, the sort who are used to keeping wafflers in line and
to count and recount votes until they know exactly what it will take to
outdo their opponents. Many of the hired hands speak with a Boston
brogue--no accident considering the man who was dispatched here to do
the impossible for Gore one more time. To win in Broward, Gore summoned
his best on-the-ground political operative: Michael Whouley, the Boston
political consultant who helped deliver Iowa and New Hampshire for him
during the Democratic presidential primaries and who, on election
night, vigilantly phoned the vice president at the last minute to head him
off from delivering a concession speech to supporters in Nashville.
Not far away, in an abandoned Payless shoe store, vanloads of AFL-CIO
staffers and Gore loyalists from New York, Chicago, Nashville,
Philadelphia, San Francisco and elsewhere had disembarked to learn how to
observe the ballot count. "Our goal," said one lawyer as he patiently
lectured his new charges, "is to preserve the Al Gore vote." The
volunteers nodded. "It's very, very important that if you see any kind of
mark--a scratch, a dent, a pinprick in Al Gore's column--that you
challenge." When someone then asked what they should do if they found a
Bush ballot with an indent, the lawyer said: "Keep your lips
sealed." L. A. Times article |

Voting Mechanism Recovered: Police Say Florida Democrat Had a "Votamatic"
in His Car Several days after presidential votes were
tallied in what has become the hotbed of Florida's post-election
confusion, police in Palm Beach County confiscated a ballot-box mechanism
from the car of a well-known local Democrat. The mechanism, called a "
Votamatic," did not contain any ballots. It's a device used on some
types of ballot boxes to punch votes through ballot cards, which are
then tallied by computers....Slosberg, a 53-year-old resident of nearby
Boca Raton who owns a handbag company, recently won a seat in the state
Legislature amid allegations he tried to buy his election....Elected

extremely close election....In the primary election, Slosberg had barely
squeaked past Levine. He reportedly had 50.5 percent of the votes to

recount of the votes. ABC News article |
| Monday, November 13, 2000—'How
Democrats steal elections' "Regarding the 1980 California Assembly
race ...[the] Republican won "by about 54 votes or so." But after the
election, Democrats "brought in their junkyard dog lawyers from around the
country...and basically harassed the local registrar—got in their faces
and demanded to handle ballots"—which were of the same type now in
dispute in Palm Beach. The same issue of "hanging chads—the little
squares in the punch cards—was also an issue in Stockton," says [former
California Assemblyman Pat] Nolan. The Democrats' strategy, he says, was
to handle them as often as possible—perhaps bending, crinkling or
otherwise altering them—so that additional chads become displaced,
thereby disqualifying the ballot. |

Monday, November 6, 2000—Huckabee:
State like a 'banana republic' The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported
Saturday that many county clerks had been instructed by election
commissions to open their offices for early voting on weekends. A survey
by the Democrat-Gazette found that 39 of the state's 75 county clerks
opened their offices for voting the weekend of Oct. 26-27 or planned to do
so last weekend. The state GOP says the early voting law, Arkansas Code
Annotated 7-5-418, permits early voting only during regular, weekday
office hours of the county clerk. The state Democratic Party contends that
early voting should be permitted on weekends to ensure maximum voter
participation and that the law isn't restricted as the GOP contends.
The law says: "Early voting shall be available to any qualified elector
who applies to the county clerk during regular office hours, beginning
fifteen (15) days before an election and ending on the day before Election
Day at the time the county clerk's office regularly closes." An
alternate provision applying only to Pulaski County is worded differently
and has nine subsections giving Pulaski County officials more latitude in
providing conditions for early voting. Priest said her interpretation is
that county clerks can decide what the regular office hours are. If any
county clerk wants to keep the office open on weekends, that's his
prerogative, she said. Huckabee: State like a 'banana republic' |

November 4, 2000—Chicanery Roils
Election 2000 There were some irregularities in St. Louis, when a
state judge—who is a former staffer for House Minority Leader Richard
Gephardt—ordered the polls to remain open an additional three hours,
but that was quickly overturned when an appeals judge closed them down
less than an hour later. The same official explained, however, that
"because it appears that the late votes put [the late Gov. Mel] Carnahan
ahead of [Republican Sen. John] Ashcroft, the Republicans retained lawyers
to look into possible fraud in the [gubernatorial] contest." Chicanery Roils Election 2000 [Note: There are many
anecdotal reports indicating that polls were open much later than the
"extended" hours specified by the former-Gephardt-staffer judge.]

Friday, November 17,
2000. Hundreds of Overseas Ballots Rejected More than
1,000 overseas absentee ballots were thrown out Friday as Republicans
complained of a coordinated challenge by Democrats, particularly against
ballots from military personnel. In some counties, half or nearly all of
the ballots were rejected, many of them military ballots that apparently
didn't have postmarks. Orange County, for example, rejected 117 of its 147
overseas ballots. "The party of the man who wants to be the next
commander-in-chief is trying to throw out the votes of the men and women
he will be commanding," charged Jim Post, a Republican lawyer in Duval
County, where 107 ballots were rejected....Earlier this week, Mark Herron,
a Tallahassee lawyer helping shepherd Democratic presidential election
lawsuits through the local courts, sent a five-page letter to
Democratic attorneys throughout Florida giving them tips on how to lodge
protests against overseas ballots. |
| Wednesday, November 15, 2000—Absentee
Ballot Fraud among Democrats in Florida an Old Story ...the State of
Florida has a history of campaign fraud with absentee ballots. In fact,
the Miami Herald received a Pulitzer prize for uncovering the absentee
voter fraud in the 1997 Miami election for Mayor. In fact, an appeals
court threw out 4,799 absentee ballots in the first election; and all
44,000 votes in the run-off and declared the loser in the first election
the winner. In that race there were reported "ballot brokers" passing out
absentee ballots and helping people vote for the "right" candidates. I
have had reports from various areas about absentee voter fraud in this
election. One of the charges has been the absentee ballots simply not
getting to voters - especially voters in the military. In my own
household, a young woman from Florida who stayed with me while in school
was unable to vote because, although requested, her absentee ballot never
arrived. In a couple of cases, absentee ballots have been stolen from the
mail, filled out and sent in. Absentee Ballot Fraud among Democrats in Florida an Old

anguishes over missing ballots: Some claim overseas mail sent 4th-class
instead of 1st Many overseas military personnel ... continue to say
they have been "cheated" out of their vote -- due to their absentee
ballots either arriving late or never arriving at all. WorldNetDaily has
received an enormous amount of e-mail from military families overseas,
or their stateside relatives, complaining that the service personnel did
not receive absentee ballots they had requested. A number of WND's
military readers have specifically reported that their ballots were sent
fourth class "bulk mail" -- which in some cases delays delivery by a month
or more -- instead of first class. In fact, some American military
families in Germany are reportedly flying the American flag upside down --
a traditional sign of distress -- at their places of residence, as a
result of the presidential election and the subsequent balloting
difficulties. In some cases, local military police have forced personnel
to take the inverted flags down. Meanwhile, Oregonian Judy Krutsinger
tells WorldNetDaily that her brother-in-law, stationed on board the USS
Tarawa near Yemen, reports that "thousands" of ballots are still sitting
in mailbags aboard a U.S. Navy warship. He says they were never picked up,
though mail recently has been delivered to the same warship. Krutsinger
alleges that the Pentagon had contacted Florida election officials to
inform them that mail from all area warships had been picked up Nov. 7,
but that her relative aboard the Tarawa denies that. ...said e-mail aboard
the Tarawa has since been "shut down"... World Net Daily on Missing Ballots |

would be flown back to the United States "expeditiously"—hopefully in

service hurrying military ballots to Florida counties The U.S. Postal
Service is hurrying military overseas ballots arriving in Florida through
the delivery process, getting them to the 67 county election departments
the same day they arrive in the country....the envelopes are marked
"absentee ballot," making them easy to spot among the hundreds and
sometimes thousands of pieces of military mail arriving at the center
about midnight daily. Workers pull the ballots and mark each with a
tracking number so it can be followed through the process. Within hours,
the ballots are put on trucks and planes heading throughout the state and
delivered to the counties that afternoon. A regular piece of mail, such as
a letter, normally takes one or two days to reach its recipient, Rice
said. She said such a procedure cannot be done with civilian overseas
absentee ballots because they arrive at numerous air mail centers
throughout the country, not just in Florida. ABC News article |
| Tuesday, November 14, 2000—Gore has
advantage in military ballots Republicans hoping that George W. Bush
will get a big boost when Florida's absentee vote is tallied on Friday
November 17 may be in for a big disappointment. While military absentee
voters are expected to break heavily for Bush, most of their ballots
arrived stateside by Election Day via the military's "fast mail" system.
Those votes have already been counted, according to election supervisors
interviewed by the Tallahassee Democrat. If true, that would severely
diminish what was expected to be a big Bush vote windfall. Counties:

| Tuesday, November 7, 2000—Pentagon not
interfering with military voters Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon Tuesday
labeled "ludicrous" an Internet news story suggesting the military vote is
being suppressed....The military is presumed to be a largely conservative
voting block more likely to support Republican George W. Bush than
Democrat Al Gore. "I have no idea what the military vote will be, but the
premise of that story is ludicrous," Bacon said. Bacon says the story is
flat wrong. The Pentagon does not send out absentee ballots. Individual
service members request ballots from their home states that are then
delivered to them wherever they are by mail. If a service
member fails to request a ballot on time, or the ballot is not sent out
quickly enough, or the ballot is not returned in time, the service
member may not get to vote....Nevertheless, more than 100,000 military
members were unable to vote in the 1996 election that said they wanted to.
"It is not the Pentagon's fault. We're sorry if there were some glitches,"
said Bacon. About 64 percent of the military voted in the 1996 election
compared to 49 percent of the public at large. [NOTE: Kenneth Bacon
previously denied releasing Linda Tripp's personnel
records.] Pentagon not interfering with military voters
