Massive Vote Fraud Plans
Democrats have been out-registering Republican voters by 5 to 1 in key states such as Ohio and Florida. In some states, such as Iowa, Democrats already have supplied absentee ballots to election boards at a rate of more than 2 to 1 over Republicans.
NewsMax has been warning readers that Democrats and their supporters may be laying the groundwork for a massive effort to "steal" the election come Election Day.
But that is not how it will be played by the big media. If John Kerry wins, the media spin will be about the "new voters" who threw the election to Kerry in swing states and were "undercounted" by the polls.
The record rise in the number of registrants has jammed boards of election from Pennsylvania to Oregon, as the registration deadlines for the largest of the crucial swing states was Oct. 4.
Oct. 4 was the deadline for registering new voters in Pennsylvania as well as Ohio, Michigan, Florida and 12 other states, and election workers will go on mandatory overtime to chip away at the thousands of forms that have been arriving daily, the Times reported.
In Cleveland, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has spent $200,000 on temporary workers this year to deal with 230,000 new registrations, more than double the number in 2000.
The number of registrations in Tallahassee, Fla., is up 20 percent since the presidential primary in March.
St. Louis reports the largest increase ever in potential new voters. "We are moving toward having the largest number of registered voters in the history of St. Louis County," David Welch, one of the directors of elections told the Times.
The paper noted that the pace of new registrations is particularly high in urban areas of swing states, where independent Democratic groups and community organizations have been running a huge voter registration campaign for just over a year.
Election officials told the Times that some of the big groups seem to be signing up anyone on the streets in order to reach quotas, with half-filled-out forms suggesting something less than true enthusiasm.
At any rate, with so many new voters on the rolls, election officials are starting to worry about what will happen at the polls on Election Day.
But the worst fear is that these new registrations will be used as the basis for vote fraud.
Still, Republican strategists tell NewsMax that by increasing voter registrations in inner city and heavily Democratic areas, there is an increased worry that multiple voting schemes will take place on Election Day.
Republicans typically do not have enough volunteers or do not wish to go to inner city areas as poll watchers.
Without a check on these polling places, schemes can be concocted where one person may cast votes for many people who were registered but did not bother to show up.
Republicans have been loath to make an issue of such practices because of allegations that such charges are racist.
