J. Christian Adams is
an election lawyer who served in the Voting Rights Section at the U.S.
Department of Justice. His New York Times bestselling book is Injustice:
Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department (Regnery).
His website is www.electionlawcenter.com.
Many readers will recognize Adams as a
frequent guest on prime-time TV news programs. He recently weighed in on various aspects
of voter fraud, all of which will affect this year’s election. Here’s an
extract from his article at PJ Media:
The integrity
of our elections [is] suffering from a coordinated, multi-million dollar attack
on multiple fronts. It’s far more complicated than one centralized
high-powered conspiracy to “rig” the election. A more sophisticated
understanding of what is happening is essential to combat the real threat
to our elections.
Here are five
ways that the integrity of elections are under attack:
5. Big money
organizations fight against election integrity
Large
brick-and-mortar organizations with multi-million dollar endowments are
fighting to undermine the integrity of American elections. These organizations,
such as Project Vote, Demos, the ACLU, Advancement Project, and the League of
Women Voters have vast financial resources. They have used these resources in
key states such as Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and
elsewhere to attack election integrity measures. They bring attacks against
Voter ID laws, but they also bring more important efforts, such as attacks
against citizenship verification.
. . .
I am involved
in litigation across the
country to help election integrity. In one lawsuit in a swing state,
we discovered that non-citizens were voting illegally in Presidential
elections. This is both a federal and state felony. When we asked the election
supervisor for records showing referral to law enforcement officials, none
existed -- because no referral was ever made. Never mind that dozens and
dozens of aliens were participating in the election process in just one county.
Imagine how many participate statewide. Yet nothing was done to prosecute the
illegal voting -- so word spreads through the community that illegal voting is
a hobby that goes unpunished.
Rigged?
These same big
money organizations send swarms of lawyers to the smallest court hearings, so
many that sometimes there isn’t enough room for them in the courtroom.
. . .
Non-citizen
voting helps the left win elections. Most of the groups in this traveling
roadshow are 501(c)(3) charities.
I doubt very
much that Lois Lerner’s Exempt Organizations Unit at the IRS has sent them a
letter asking for their social media passwords or the text of prayers
recited at meetings.
4. A focus on
process brings policy results
Republicans
focus on policy. Democrats focus on process. Democrats and the left know
if they alter the rules, they can win the elections. Better still, if they
alter the rules and brand it a civil rights matter, they disguise their
partisan goals with something that sounds better.
What do I mean
by process?
Years ago, we
all voted on Election Day. That made it harder for the machine to motivate the
unmotivated on one single day. Now? The election is spread out over weeks of
early voting.
We used to
register to vote in advance. Now, instant registration is another process that
helps the demographic that has difficulty planning ahead. It means you can
register and vote at the same time, making it harder to verify eligibility.
In Ohio, you
could register to vote and vote weeks in advance at the same time. When Ohio
discovered that California and New York residents such as Amy
Little and Yolanda Hippensteele were registering and voting simultaneously
for Obama in 2008, Ohio changed the law to eliminate this “Golden Week.”
Naturally, the Big Money Organizations (See #[5], above) sued.
Bush-appointed
federal judge Michael Watson ruled that such a change violates the Voting
Rights Act and struck down the election integrity measure.
Out-of-precinct
voting, mandatory voter registration, felon voting, dirty voter rolls, underage
registration, and simple refusal to enforce election integrity laws are process
priorities of the left.
You don’t need
someone sitting in a smoke-filled command bunker to rig an election. There are
more subtle and more effective ways to affect elections.
3. Big Law
The well-funded
organizations fighting to block election integrity laws are helped by some of
the nation’s largest law firms -- for free!
These law
firms use the inflated fees their corporate clients pay to subsidize helping
left-wing groups attack election integrity laws.
. . .
The attack on
Voter ID isn’t the only instance where large law firms donate their free time
to leftist organizations with multi-million dollar endowments. Nearly any time
there is an attack on election integrity, Big Law helps.
. . .
2. Failure to
maintain rolls
Millions of
voter registrations are wrong or out of date. Hundreds of counties, including
many in swing states, have more registrants than eligible people alive. That
doesn’t mean millions of votes are being cast illegally -- but corrupted rolls
provide the perfect environment for election corruption. It’s what allowed
Democratic Congressional nominee Wendy Rosen to vote twice for President Obama
in both Maryland and Florida.
The guiltiest
culprit for corrupted rolls is the Obama Justice Department. It refuses to do
anything about the failure to keep rolls clean. Their failure to act is both
deliberate and ideologically driven.
. . .
If Trump
becomes president, sweeping away the lawlessness inside the Justice Department
that turned the federal government into silent partners with election gangsters
like Wendy Rosen should be a top priority. It’s no accident that vote
fraudsters across the country, including Melowese Richardson and others, get a
free ride from this DOJ and never face criminal prosecution.
1. Academics and
media lying about election integrity
The final way
our electoral system is endangered is through the pack of lies pushed by
academics and the media. If you pay attention to legacy media, voter fraud
doesn’t exist -- only racists want election integrity, and Jim Crow is back.
When it comes
to covering election integrity, some of the media are lazy, the rest are
activists with by-lines.
. . .
Is the
November election rigged? Certainly not in the way you might have thought it
was. The election is afflicted with something far more dangerous than a single
plot to flip the outcome. The affliction is diffuse, decentralized, and funded
by millions of dollars.
