The Party Of Fraud

They're up to their old tricks again. The ironically misnamed Democratic Party has dispatched literally thousands of lawyers and has greased its disinformation machine to win through fraud what they can't win through an honest vote.

November 2 will be the culmination of a four year crusade to facilitate fraudulent voting accross the country. Lawyers have been dispatched to ensure that reliable demographics like convicted felons and illegal aliens get to voter. They'll be there to win the right to cast multiple votes. They'll be there to ensure that the dead vote, that dogs vote, and that Democrats cast votes in other people's names.

The latest Democratic trick for stuffing the ballot box with illegitimate votes is call the "provisional ballot."

You don't have to be a cynic to imagine that some polling places will be rushed with dozens, even hundreds, of unregistered voters, perhaps just as the polls are scheduled to close. The right to cast a provisional ballot will then become an excuse to sue to keep polls open later, which is precisely what happened in 2000 in St. Louis and might have cost then-Senator John Ashcroft his seat. Any refusal would be cause for another equal-protection lawsuit that could take weeks to settle.





Don't take our word for it. Listen to John Kerry, who laid out the strategy at a rally in April: "We are going to bring legal challenges in those districts that make it difficult for people to register," and his aides are telling reporters they'll insist that "every vote is counted," implying every provisional vote.
Not that the partisans care, but there's a larger principle that is in danger of being trampled here. A fair election requires two things: The ability to cast a ballot but also the confidence that any vote is honestly cast. The count-'em-all-legal-or-not-and-sue strategy stomps on the second principle in order to serve the first. Denying the right to vote was common in many areas before the Voting Rights Act of the 1960s, but there is no evidence that it was a problem at all in 2000.

What we are seeing now isn't an attempt to prevent injustice but looks to be a calculated political strategy to create enough confusion at the polls to justify legal challenges that will cloud any close Presidential outcome. Let's hope we have a clear winner on Election Night, or we may all wish we were in Afghanistan.
