The MIT study is Bullcrap – it is from 2002 and it doesn’t take the voting rolls from after the election and compare them to actual voter’s claimed home addresses. In Wisconsin they are having issues after election having to clear the voting rolls of people who voted that are not real Wisconsin voters – they call them travelling voters – especially from Illinois.. If MIT wants to do a real study take the damn voting rolls including absentees and find out how many of those people that voted actually exist in the place they claimed to live. THIS HAS VOTER FRAUD EXPANSION ALL OVER IT!!!!

PS, in case you did not find my comment on Facebook,I had NOT dismissed the MIT report, I had ignored it. NOW that I have read it, I DISMISS IT!

Regarding voting fraud, “In particular, we have interviewed local election officials in Minnesota and Wisconsin, especially in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Milwaukee areas, and have found only a handful of cases of fraud involving a very small number of votes over the last decade.” Following to the footnotes, I found that only THREE Minnesota election officials were interviewed. This “evidence” does not even BEGIN to justify the statement in the report.

The report DOES go on to state measures that can be taken to reduce the possibility of fraud. For example, “Simply by requiring that those who are registering on election day provide some form of valid identification is one important safeguard.” The report fails to reveal that, in Minnesota, at least, NONE of these measures are employed!

As it exists in Minnesota, EDR is a joke that allows groups like ACORN to place a clown into a very important office.

Jason: Thirty-two — not 500 — ballots were said to be an election director’s car trunk, however the story is totally false. The ballots were never in the woman’s car. And ACORN wasn’t involved at all.

I agree with Joel. What we should strive for isn’t the quantity of voters but quality. If someone disagrees with me politically but has an opinion that is thought out and considered fine. Unfortunately a great many of the voters brought to the polls by a ACORN bus and the promise of a few bucks probably couldn’t identify even one policy stand of Obama. They just knew he was tall, slender, and black and that was good enough for them.

Jennifer, it gives me so much more confidence in your objectivity as an election volunteer, to see you white wash conservatives as ‘righties’ and calling Rep. Bachmann a lunatic. Let’s see, wasn’t it an ACORN worker who came up with 500 ballots for Frankenstein AFTER the vote recount started?? (oh, I nearly forgot…he found them in the trunk of his car, and of course they were ‘all legit’..you just can’t make this stuff up!!!nobody would BELIEVE YOU!!). Ms. Bachmann is truly a breath of fresh air, and all I can say is ‘God forgive Minnesotans for ‘electing’ Frankenstein to a seat in Washington, on the public dole, a job he can finally retire with, and of course he now has the last laugh…how very sick.
And you think ‘righties’ are wrong and lefties are RIGHT??? Give me a Franken break!!! (but I would turn it down..I do have my self respect..)

On the matter of same day reg. I don’t particularly have an issue with it, but with people like partisan Ritchie and Jennifer in charge of handling the votes, I DO have issues with that!

Obviously, the supporters of this travesty do not live in a state overrun by illegals, most of whom sport stolen identies up the ying-yang. In CA and the southwest states, it would be a disaster.

You cannot say that the only problems were with absentee ballots. A neighbor went in to vote before work and someone had already voted for him. Someone had forged his name and stolen his vote! Without a photo ID there was no way that the judges knew who that person was. Now you can count all of the voters that voted on election day that have been counted as a fraudulent vote. Those that voted in the wrong precinct, those that voted even though they were not a citizen, those that voted in multiple places, those that voted even though they lived in another state. Thank God we have same day registration so that we can’t find this out until after the election has passed. We don’t want anyone’s vote not to count, over and over and over again.
