http://bloggingblue.com/2014/06/republican-caught-voting-multiple-times-in-multiple-states/A text message sent from Monroes phone on Aug. 4, 2011, urged a woman: Election is next Tuesday! U better show up. If out of town go to city hall and vote early. Alberta Darling is name to check. On May 21 another text read: Are u and your family ready to vote June 5? I am driving my kids to make sure they cast their votes. Every vote counts.

During the 2012 recall election of Walker, Monroe voted at least six times: once from a Shorewood home he shares with his girlfriend; once from a home in Milwaukee that is part of a family trust; once from each of those addresses using absentee ballots, and voting absentee using the name of his son and his girlfriends son.
Monroe also allegedly voted multiple times in the 2012 election from Milwaukee and Shorewood then driving to Indiana, where he voted using a home he owns there as his residence.

(37,428 posts)Projection is practically written into he GOP platform.
Ann Coulter voted in the wrote precinct because she didn't want to stand in line or she hadn't changed her voting registration or something.

A Nevada Republican arrested for voter fraud in the 2012 election, after claiming she was trying to test the system's integrity, pled guilty and accepted a plea deal Thursday, forcing her to pay almost $2,500 and promise to stay out of trouble.
Roxanne Rubin, 56, a casino worker on the Las Vegas Strip, was arrested on Nov. 3, 2012 after trying to vote twice, once at her poling site in Henderson and then at a second site in Las Vegas. The poll workers at the second site said that she had already voted, but Rubin said that she hadn't and insisted on casting a ballot, which the poll workers refused to allow her to do.
Rubin said that she was trying to show how easy it would be to commit voter fraud with just a signature. "This has always been an issue with me. I just feel the system is flawed," she told the AP Thursday. "If were showing ID for everything else, why wouldnt we show our ID in order to vote?

Democratic Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller, who has called for a photo ID law, slammed Rubin in a statement. "If Ms. Rubin was trying to demonstrate how easy it is to commit voter fraud, she clearly failed and proved just the opposite," he said.

(9,645 posts)10,000 votes can appear or disappear with the click of a button
but if they set the program too high the results show impossible numbers (100 ballots cast but 150 votes)
so they resort to voting from multiple sites and/or restricting access to voting with either id laws or long lines
so while this is just the tip of the ice berg,it is a tip we can prove and my colleges will continue looking for "multiple voters" , especially in wealthy vacation areas
<smiles> for the people of wisconsin who simply do not give up!!!!!

Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)In many cases he voted in his own real name. He had simply registered in more than one jurisdiction where he had a claim to residence.
When he voted in other people's names it was by absentee ballots. More than one election protection expert has said that absentee ballots are where the real serious fraud is, and of course voter ID makes no difference there.

(32,074 posts)I'm guessing this is just the tip of the ice berg.
Except for a few slips of the tongue, they always claim their voting restrictions are non partisan, a means of addressing ALL voter fraud.
I'm not sure if this helps in the fight against voter suppression.

(109 posts)...when the Republicans can win their own argument for the need for voter ID by perpetrating the very offense that they are simultaneously trying to legislate against! They are basically saying: "We require legislation to stop ourselves from cheating! Look!!! We're doing it now!" Makes it hard to argue with them!
It is rather brilliant in its own twisted way, as long as they don't mind looking like idiots- which clearly they don't.

(111 posts)When Republicans talk about voter fraud, they're talking about a black woman on welfare, living in government housing, on food stamps, using an expired drivers license for identification. They DON'T mean rich white men using each of their multiple homes as their legal residence and voting multiple times in one election. Why, that would be stupid wouldn't it?
How else can a rich white man have more of a voice in government than a poor woman if he can't vote more times than her in an election? If he has more money, why shouldn't he have more privileges than a poor woman, especially if that poor woman is Black?
I'll bet that Monroe's name doesn't come up once the next time a Republican talks about voter fraud. What do you think?
