Did voter fraud
swing election?
By Joseph Farah
Contrary to popular opinion, I am not a "conspiracy theorist."
I live in the real world – always have. I've been a journalist who goes
where the facts lead him all my life – unlike most of my colleagues
whose "facts" are predetermined by their ideology.
Bill Ayers… I understand Barack Obama and Bill Ayers because I was one
of them early in my life. I even met Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and Tom
Hayden and Jane Fonda in the old days. I admired them. If Obama had
been old enough during the 1960s and 1970s, I probably would have run
into him, too.
If anyone has a balanced approach to the realities of political life in
America, it's me. I've looked at life from both sides. I know the
arguments of the other side and can still spout them before most of
today's practitioners of so-called "progressive" thought can.
I also know that the reigning ethos of this movement represented so
ably today by Obama is this: "By any means necessary..." It was first
articulated by Jean Paul Sartre in his play "Dirty Hands." But it
became popularized as a slogan of the revolutionary left by Malcolm X.
What it means, in short, is that the ends justify the means. It means
violence is fine in achieving a worthwhile objective. It means lying,
stealing, cheating and all those other bourgeoisie "sins" are
appropriate means of furthering the cause.
Is there any doubt in your mind today that this is now the reigning
ethos of the Democratic Party and its various tentacles and allies?
There is no doubt in my mind.
And that's why stealing the vote is not only an acceptable practice by
these people, it is a moral imperative in their twisted worldview.
Am I suggesting that the recent presidential election was stolen
through voter fraud and manipulation?
Without a doubt.
Do I have evidence?
Yes, I have plenty of anecdotal evidence to show that it was committed
by one side in the election in various ways. And I am convinced that at
least 5 percent of the Democratic vote can be attributed to fraud –
illegal voters, illegal campaign contributions, rigged balloting,
intimidation at the polls, you name it.
Here's just some of the evidence for the skeptical:
• In September the Columbus Dispatch in Ohio
reported this sad and ugly news: "More than one out of every five
registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote. In two counties,
the number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age
population: Northwestern Ohio's Wood County shows 109 registered voters
for every 100 eligible, while in Lawrence County along the Ohio River
it's a mere 104 registered per 100 eligible. Another 31 counties show
registrations at more than 90 percent of those eligible, a rate
regarded as unrealistic by most voting experts. The national average is
a little more than 70 percent. In a close presidential election where
every vote might count, which ones to count might become paramount on
Election Day — and in possible legal battles afterward." The Dispatch
asked Ohio's chief elections official, Secretary of State Jon Husted,
what could be done about this problem. His answer? Not enough. Nine
months ago, he asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for a personal
meeting to discuss how to balance seemingly conflicting federal laws so
he could pare Ohio's dirty voter list without removing truly eligible
voters. Holder's office never even bothered to reply – to either Husted
or the newspaper. What does that tell you? It tells me voter fraud is
and was an important tactic in re-electing Holder's boss and Democrats
throughout the country. Anyway, we all know how Ohio voted.
• How about Michigan – Romney's home state? How did
Obama win such a resounding victory when the polls showed the two
candidates in a virtual tie? And how is it that Obama won by 9 points
while Democrats suffered a string of defeats down the entire state
ballot? For instance, Republicans maintained control of both the state
House and the Supreme Court, while Democrats lost three ballot
propositions.
• Then, of course, there is the fine work of James
O'Keefe and Project Veritas, which demonstrated, over and over again on
camera, the willingness and ability of Democratic operatives to cheat
and commit fraud to win elections.
• How about WND's own investigation in which it
demonstrated conclusively that the Obama campaign welcomed foreign
contributions by intentionally leaving vulnerabilities in its web
donation page that allowed even those using bogus names, disposable
credit cards and foreign IP addresses to donate cash. The classic
example was when WND staffers did just this using the name Osama bin
Laden, listing his occupation as "deceased terrorist" and employer as
"al-Qaida." The contributions were accepted by the Team Obama, just as
it accepted foreign contributions from the Palestinian Authority in
2008, as WND's Aaron Klein demonstrated.
How much evidence does one need to be convinced? This is just the tip
of the iceberg.
Did it make a difference in this close race?
Without question.
Is there anything we can do about it now?
Not likely.
But if we want to ensure that America has free and fair elections in
the future, we better get to work. America's political system is
becoming a thugocracy.
I'm fighting back.
