Get ready for the right's post-election delegitimization drive
Crooks and Liars — ... . John Fund also held forth in Politico at length about how, yes, those falsified voter-registration form can in fact turn into real votes. Well, yes, it is possible for fake registrations to be used for actual votes -- but to do so takes a large number of hoops to jump through on an individual basis. And it's what you call a low-reward crime; there isn't much incentive for large numbers of people to actually jump through all these hoops. Fact is, the vast majority of fake registrations are winnowed out before Election Day. And if fake voters actually do make it to the ...

If It Ain't Real, Fake It
Wizbang — ... By last count, that criminal conspiracy known as ACORN has submitted over 400,000 bogus registration forms across the nation. And for those who repeat that talking point that "phony registrations aren't phony votes," here's an article describing just how that Change can come to pass. And sometimes it doesn't even take ACORN's blessing to bring about voter fraud. In Cleveland, ...

Manufacturing the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy
Newshoggers.com — ...

First, we have never had so many ...

The Volokh Conspiracy — ... which year since 1952 was more corrupt and what arguments or evidence he has for such a claim. In some of the early elections (eg, 1952, 1956, and 1960), African-American voters were suppressed quite substantially by poll taxes and the like, but that is not the sort of "corruption" I was talking about. As I made clear, I pointed to the extent of phony registrations, illegal contributions, and press bias. FRAUDULENT VOTER REGISTRATION In my post, I linked as evidence to John Fund’s piece at Politico : Anita MonCrief [is] an ACORN whistle-blower who worked for both it and its ...

“Registered by the State, for the State and to the State, so that Democrat Rule shall not Perish from the Earth.”
Cold Fury — ... you moved several times, you are registered at all your addresses. If you are a foreign national here legally or illegally, on any list, you’re registered. Same with felons. Are you a foreigner who illegally contributed to Obama’s campaign last year? On the list! Dead? How can you be dead…you’re on the list! This would doubtless be accompanied by the abolition of ID requirements. Even Jimmy Carter supports voter ID laws. Know why? His first election was stolen by Democrats! Fund at Politico last year:…ACORN had hired 59 inmates from a work-release program at a nearby prison ...
