Voter Fraud Investigation Could Reverse New Jersey Election Result -- Again
By Carla Baranauckas - Politics DailyIn the kind of case that seems relatively rare in the United States these days, 11 people in New Jersey have been arrested since Tuesday in a voter fraud investigation in connection with the Paterson City Council election in May, the state attorney general and criminal justice director announced on Wednesday. A 12th person was being sought by law-enforcement authorities on Wednesday night. The investigation relates to the election of Councilman Rigo Rodriguez, who narrowly defeated Kenneth McDaniel.

Did Harry Reid 'Steal' the Nevada Senate Election?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 3) -- Dirty tricks? On Tuesday night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was basking in the glow of his narrow victory over tea party upstart Sharron Angle. Throughout the course of the campaign, polls had shown the race to be an extremely tight contest, with the lead swinging back and forth between the two candidates all the way down to the wire. But let's back up to the waning days of the battle, with the contest far from decided. That's when Cleta Mitchell, Angle's attorney, sent out a fundraising letter in which she proclaimed the following: As Sharron Angle's campaign attorney, I ...
ACORN Filing for Bankruptcy
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- Talk about timing. As millions of Americans headed to the polls to vote today, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, aka ACORN, announced that it was filing for bankruptcy. The news came in the form of a letter written by Bertha Lewis, ACORN's CEO, that was posted to the group's website. "We have seen this coming for some time," Lewis wrote. "Our chapters closed in the first quarter of the year. We have spent our remaining resources trying to dissolve the organization with integrity, while continuing to respond to the extremist attacks. Allegations and reports ...
Today in Voter Fraud: Minnesota Showdown Over 'Please ID Me' Buttons
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Nov. 2) -- An act of civil disobedience meant to curb voter fraud or a wanton display of voter intimidation? That's the question facing a group calling itself Minnesota Majority, which is sending just over 10,000 people to monitor polling stations across that state today in an aggressive campaign to fight what organizers claim is a widespread problem of voter fraud. While monitoring and even contesting the eligibility of some voters is entirely legal, Minnesota Majority is directing its members to wear "Please ID Me" buttons in violation of a federal judge's orders, the blog Talking Points ...
Today in Voter Fraud: Hysteria or Imminent Threat?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 27) -- As another election draws near, it's worth asking: Which is the larger problem in America, voter fraud or voter intimidation? On Tuesday, 47 people in Minnesota were charged with voter fraud stemming from the 2008 general election, Minnesota Public Radio reported. That location is significant, as conservative activists have long alleged that Sen. Al Franken was only elected because of voter fraud. Unfortunately for the groups trying to prove that Norm Coleman was the real winner of the contest, initial claims that some 1,250 people had acted to throw the election Franken's way ...

Rush Limbaugh and Voter Fraud
By Dave - Politics DailyRush Limbaugh is not going to be prosecuted for this. Let me explain, but first the money quotes: In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh, the nation's top-rated talk radio host, was urging Republicans in Texas and Ohio to skip their party's primary on March 4 and instead cast a vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prolong the fight between her and Barack Obama. And that Tuesday, as media in both states reported, thousands of Republicans did just what Limbaugh and others had suggested -- they changed parties to vote for Clinton. ... While this all makes for great talk radio and sounds like fun, ...
