More Bogus Election Forms Found (St Louis)
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/metroeast/story/52F68CD4CC22161F86257212000E8300?OpenDocument

Hundreds of bogus address changes have surfaced at the St. Louis County Election Board, which is warning voters to make sure they get a polling-place notification card in the mail next week.

If the card doesn't show up, a voter's address may have been fraudulently changed without their knowledge, said Joseph Goeke, the county's Republican elections director.

Board employees don't know exactly how many fraudulent address changes were submitted but estimate the number in the hundreds. And they fear they may not have caught all of them.

The address changes, with a voter's bogus signature, are among questionable or fraudulent voter registration cards turned in within the past couple of months.

1. Yeah, and I heard someone on NPR yesterday
saying the idea of election fraud was all crap. Or words to that effect. He was some sort of Administration tool, as I recall.

Even NPR isn't worth listening to anymore. :banghead:

3. all the Dem voters are concentrated in two areas
St Louis and Kansas City. A big purge or voter screw up in just one of those areas could swing the election.

5. they are a non-aligned group that registers voters
They have had problems in St Louis in the past, mostly for turning in poorly filled out cards or wrong addresses.

They pay workers $8 an hour to knock on doors or go to public places like malls or court houses and have people fill out voter registration cards. The workers are paid hourly, and not by how many cards they turn in, so there is some speculation that workers may have filled out fake registrations on their own to make it look like they were working, or that people they registered at malls or such may have filled out fake names to hassle them.

To the best of my knowlegde, they have never been charged with fraud.

10. Hillary and co. are as responsible as the GOP
Hillary nor any of the Democratic big shots has never said ANYTHING about election fraud or the prospect of election fraud, or the vulnerabilities of the voting machines.

Will they ignore this news in Saint Louis as well?

If our party leaders remain silent we are screwed.

12. Provisional ballots won't be counted unless you're in the correct voting place.
That decision sounded so reasonable at first. Gee, someone didn't even know where they were supposed to vote.

Now, votes won't be counted because they WON'T HAVE TIME TO UNRAVEL a problem meant for a different department.
