When You Can’t Win – Cheat: Election Fraud From Coast To Coast
May 27, 2012
By Wendy Gittleson


Look for election fraud and voter suppression to be an overriding theme in this year’s Presidential election, even if it’s underreported in the mainstream media. Nearly six months before the election, we are already seeing local and statewide efforts to purge the voter rolls of Democratic voters.

In an effort to clear the voter rolls of “non-citizens,” Florida’s Governor, Rick Scott is targeting Hispanic, Democratic and independent-minded voters by sending them notices informing that without proof of citizenship, they will not be eligible to vote. According to the Tampa Bay Times, out of the more than 2,600 people that have been sent the notices, White people and Republicans were the least likely to have been targeted. The Times found that:

About 58 percent of those identified as potential noncitizens are Hispanics, Florida’s largest ethnic immigrant population. They make up just 13 percent of the overall 11.3 million active registered voters.

“I’m upset, because if someone is an American citizen, it is his right to vote. How can they be asking for this?” said Juan Artabe, a 41-year-old Democrat from Cuba who said he became a citizen in 2009.

“Very poor job by the elections department,” Artabe said. He said he was contacted last week by the Miami-Dade elections office and sent in a copy of his citizenship papers so he wasn’t struck from the voter rolls.

Think Progress reports that hundreds of the targeted people are in fact, US citizens.

- 1638 people in Miami-Dade County were flagged by the state as “non-citizens” and sent letters informing them that they were ineligible to vote.

- Of that group, 359 people have subsquently provided the county with proof of citizenship.

- Another 26 people were identified as U.S. citizens directly by the county.

- The bulk of the remaining 1200 people have simply not responded yet to a letter sent to them by the Supervisor of Elections.

In addition to targeting non-citizens, Florida is targeting felons, who are predominantly African-American and Democratic in Florida (from the Miami Herald).

1. this is 'supercaging' -- they're purging voter rolls + requiring addition action

in order to exercise your right to vote.

2. I suspect that if it's close

the Repigs will find a way to lie and cheat their way into the WH. If that happens, I say we take to the streets to demand a full audit of the votes and those that were excluded from voting.
It's going to be an interesting year.
