Voter fraud

Dunn went back to change her vote, she said, and it again switched from Hogan to Brown. She said she fixed it and made sure her vote was correct before submitting her ballot.

But Dunn said her problems didn't stop there.

When she called the Maryland Board of Elections voting hotline, she said the woman who answered the phone had trouble understanding the problem. Ultimately the call was disconnected.

“She sounded like she got very flustered with me and hung up,” Dunn said.

Dunn has since sent an email to county and state election officials to notify them of her problem. She wonders how many other people had their votes switched but didn't notice.

“If I was really in a hurry I probably wouldn't have caught it,” she said. “It bothers me that some people who aren't comfortable with electronics or who didn't double check it might not have caught it.”

Voting machine problems also were reported last week in Severna Park.

Voters who have experienced problems can call the Maryland Board of Elections voter hotline at 1-800-222-8683.

New Haven, Conn. (WTNH) — New Haven voting officials were overwhelmed with more than 1,000 people who showed up the polls today to register to vote.

An analysis of federal campaign contributions finds that key figures at six of America's most prominent Islamist organizations have favored Democrats over Republicans by a ratio of 12 to 1 since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This trend began with multiple donations to Cynthia McKinney dated September 11, 2001, reversing a previous pattern that had seen Islamist officials spend slightly more on Republicans. Their preference for Democrats has solidified during the past 13 years and shows no signs of waning. What does this say about the politicians who benefit from Islamist largesse?

A crosscheck of voter rolls in Virginia and Maryland turned up 44,000 people registered in both states, a vote-integrity group reported Wednesday.

And that’s just the beginning.

“The Virginia Voters Alliance is investigating how to identify voters who are registered and vote in Virginia but live in the states that surround us,” Alliance President Reagan George told the State Board of Elections.

George acknowledged that the number of voters who actually cast multiple ballots is relatively small. In the case of Maryland and Virginia, he revealed that 164 people voted in both states during the 2012 election.

But George said his group will expand their search for duplicate voters in the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and Georgia.

Staggering statistics that show nearly a half-million people were caught trying to enter the U.S. illegally -- and more than half were not Mexican, a number far higher than in 2013 -- reportedly were posted on a U.S. government website for just a few hours last month before being taken down.

According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, the numbers were posted on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website on Oct. 10 for roughly five hours. The dramatic numbers raised questions over whether they were yanked to protect the administration before key midterm elections.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told the Center he's worried "they may have been taken down for purely political reasons."

Allegations of widespread fraud by malevolent voters are easy to make, but often prove to be inflated or inaccurate. Crying “wolf” when the claims are unsubstantiated distracts attention from real problems that need real solutions. Moreover, these claims are frequently used to justify policies – including restrictive photo identification rules – that could not solve the alleged wrongs, but that could well disenfranchise legitimate voters.

The Brennan Center carefully examines allegations of fraud to get at the truth behind the claims.

It's been estimated that Republicans have to overcome 6+ percent of fraudulent votes to defeat the Democrats.

The only source he has is James O'Keefe!

"...Well, it looks like things have settled down. It doesn't appear that ISIL will be placing their flag on the White House lawn anytime soon, and it doesn't appear that we're all going to die of Ebola anytime soon, and the zillions of armed felons who have been sneaking across the border have apparently gone back..."

I wouldn't get too comfortable with that since the Republicans will have to defend some 20 seats in 2016 and they won't have Obama to bash anymore. In the meantime the gridlock continues with the Democrats now in a position to return the favor of excessive filibusters, and any ridiculous legislation that gets to Obama will be vetoed. Your wave means very little!!!
Stay tuned for an executive order on immigration, and then we'll hear all of this blustery gasbag talk of impeachment! The BS just goes on and on!!!

Keep this in mind while thinking about "The Wave" of the past week:
