The Democrat Rackeeteering Fix is in: NJ-GOV: Jon Corzine’s Absentee Ballot Slush Fund

Is there one, (one?!) honest Democrat? C'mon, New Jersey!

 NJ-GOV: Jon Corzine’s Absentee Ballot Slush Fund NRO via Redstate

National Review’s Jim Geraghty has a tremendously important story. Jon Corzine is trying to build an absentee ballot slush fund to win a recount in the New Jersey Governor’s race. Basically, the Democratic Party has asked the Secretary of State to send provisional absentee ballots out to people whose signatures on their absentee ballot requests don’t match:

In a development that is depressingly predictable, the New Jersey Democratic party is asking the state to provide provisional ballots for all these voters. Those ballots could, presumably, be used to overcome any narrow lead by Republican Chris Christie over Democrat Jon Corzine on Election Day.

Now, let’s be clear how the absentee process works in New Jersey. Third parties can pick up and return absentee ballots.  A couple of weeks ago, a Democratic operative in Atlantic City plead guilty to a lesser charge of tampering with ballots. One practice mentioned in the indictment was the person picking up ballots from people and throwing them out if they weren’t for his candidate.  Another example was:

They allegedly solicited applications for messenger absentee ballots from individuals not qualified to receive them and had the voters not fill in the name of the messenger, so they could fraudulently designate themselves as the authorized messengers or bearers.

And:

They allegedly obtained messenger ballots from the county clerk and submitted them to the board of elections as vote s on behalf of voters who, in fact, never received or voted the ballots or, in some cases, were given only the security envelope for the ballot and were told to sign it. Those voters were not given the opportunity to vote in most instances.

So when ballots are getting into the hands of people who didn’t even ask for them, you have to wonder what is going on.

And lest we not forget the dead vote: Thanks to the increasing popularity of absentee voting, a rising number of the recently deceased are casting ballots -- legally.

Moving them isn't the problem. Its the judicial process after you have to deal with, when the vote count is so close and the libs win again in court.

The Democrats were hurt big time by McGreevey coming out as gay and quitting as governor in NJ plus all the corruption and bribery in that state, so now they have to do "whatever it takes" to win there. They know they awakened a sleeping giant in the American middle class and are afraid that in the 2010 elections they will lose everything they cheated, lied and stole so hard to get.

Every single election where the non democrats say nothing about thuggery and mass inner city fraud ESCALATES the problem

SILENT NO MORE!!!

SILENCE IS THE NEW TREASON!!!

[Joy]

Absolutely agree that SILENCE is no longer an option! We must speak out whenever close elections seem to bring out fraudent activity and ineligble voters! Noise & heat should throw the lib perps off base - at least, until their criminal & illegal activities are exposed.
