The Minnesota Senate election was very close:  GOP incumbent Norm Coleman led liberal ex-comedian Al Franken by just 725 votes.  As a result, Franken demanded a recount.   The Minnesota Canvassing Board is mischievously changing the result of the election by treating clear votes for Coleman as non-votes, or even as votes for Franken.   Liberal blogs like Daily Kos are already celebrating the anticipated result of the shenanigans: a Franken win.  The Minnesota Secretary of State, who oversees voting, is backed by the left-wing groups MoveOn.Org and ACORN.  ACORN has a long…

USA Today has an editorial opposing a massive proposed bailout for the automakers. The automakers would be leaner, more efficient, and more able to survive in the long run if they filed for bankruptcy in order to abrogate their absurdly generous union contracts, rather than being bailed out by taxpayers to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. Airlines keep operating all the time after filing for bankruptcy. By contrast, when England bailed out its automakers in the 1970s,…

In Minnesota, votes are appearing, seemingly out of thin air, for the liberal Senate candidate (and onetime comedian) Al Franken. Attorney Scott Johnson says that “the election appears to be in the process of being stolen.”

Incumbent Senator Norm Coleman led in election-day results, but his lead keeps shrinking and shrinking, and is now down to an infinitesmal 200 votes out of more than 2 million votes cast.

For example, a bunch of new votes suddenly appeared in Minnesota’s Mountain Iron precinct.…

Law professor Glenn Reynolds writes about widespread voter fraud in the New York Post. Earlier, we wrote about voter fraud in Virginia, and voter fraud by the radical group ACORN.  ACORN has received taxpayer subsidies courtesy of liberal lawmakers, despite a history of financial and voting fraud.

Thousands of out-of-state college students have illegally registered to vote in swing states like Virginia, even while registering, and applying for absentee ballots, in their home state as well.  Forty such names have already been forwarded to Virginia State Police. 

This process has been abetted by Virginia’s liberal governor, Tim Kaine, and his chief of staff, who did so in response to complaints by the Obama campaign, over protests by local voting officials across the political spectrum.

Kaine appointees attempted to illegally block the counting of military absentee…

Trust in the integrity of a government’s voting process is critical. If you don’t believe me, think Venezuela and Zimbabwe. In the US, public outcry is already beginning over widespread voting fraud issues, yet the government is doing little. Quin Hillyer, in his piece “No Righting Voting Wrongs in Ohio“, details what can and should be done to start to restore public trust in the system.

The nation’s highest court ruled Friday that, for now, a federal district court cannot force…

In Virginia’s liberal Fairfax County, officials are illegally discarding absentee ballots cast by members of the military based on a technical requirement that is preempted by federal law.  Meanwhile, people who live out-of-state are being allowed to vote (some people have boasted of being registered to vote, and voting, both in Virginia and another state) in Virginia elections, contrary to state law, based on instructions from liberal state voting officials and false claims by liberal advocacy groups.

The Washington Examiner reports on October 24 that “Fairfax County elections officials…

People openly boast about fraudulently registering to vote in Virginia, a swing state, even though they actually live, and are registered to vote, in other states.  The Norfolk, Virginia election board tried to do something about that, by making sure that people registering to vote in Virginia actually do live in the state.  One way it did that was to send questionnaires to students who came from out-of-state to attend Virginia colleges, and then registered in Virginia, to see if those students really qualify as…

The upcoming election has given me new relatives, all of them imaginary.  The Obama campaign’s get-out-the-vote operation calls my house on an almost daily basis, trying to reach people who don’t live there, like Cyrus and Hassan Bader.  But I’ve never heard of either of them, even though I share their last name.  The Obama people have also tried repeatedly to reach my 18-month old daughter Sarah.

I live in a liberal bastion, Arlington, Virginia, where high voter turnout favors the Democratic Party.  The Party hopes to…

Virginia is a key battleground state in this election, with polls showing Obama and McCain very close to each other in the polls.  My family has gotten many calls from political campaigns.  That includes my 18-month-old daughter Sarah.  The Obama campaign has repeatedly attempted to contact Sarah, as part of its get-out-the-vote-effort, despite my wife’s explanation that she is not old enough to vote.

I hope that no one has registered to vote in Sarah’s name.   I’ve called the Arlington County Office of Voter Registration to try to find out…
