At least 3.5 million more people are on U.S. election rolls
than are eligible to vote.
Elections: American democracy has a problem — a
voting problem. According to a new study of U.S. Census data, America has more
registered voters than actual live voters. It's a troubling fact that puts our
nation's future in peril.
The data come from Judicial Watch's
Election Integrity Project. The group looked at data from 2011 to 2015 produced
by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, along with data from the
federal Election Assistance Commission.
As reported by
the National Review's Deroy Murdock, who did some numbers-crunching of his
own, "some 3.5 million more people are registered to vote in the U.S. than
are alive among America's adult citizens. Such staggering inaccuracy is an
engraved invitation to voter fraud."
. . .
In his spread sheet, he listed Delaware county as the Ohio county with the
largest number of “ghost” voters. Delaware County includes heavily
red Columbus. His chart did not list Cuyahoga County, so I did a little search of
my own and found the following at a blog called End of The American Dream, by a blogger named Michael Snyder, reporting on the 2012 election:
Barack Obama received more than 99%
of the vote in more than 100 precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on election
day. In fact, there were a substantial number of precincts where Mitt
Romney got exactly zero votes. So how in the world did this
happen? Third world dictators don’t even get 99% of the vote.
Overall, Mitt Romney received 30.12% of the vote in Cuyahoga
County. There were even a bunch of precincts in Cuyahoga County that
Romney actually won. But everyone certainly expected that Cuyahoga County
would be Obama territory. And in most of the precincts that is exactly what
we saw – large numbers of votes for both candidates but a definite
edge for Obama.
However, there are more than 100
precincts in Cuyahoga County where the voting results can only be described as
truly bizarre. Yes, we always knew that urban areas would lean very
heavily toward Obama, but are we actually expected to believe that Obama got
over 99% of the votes in those areas? In more than 50 different precincts,
Romney received 2 votes or less. Considering how important the swing
state of Ohio was to the national election, one would think that such
improbable results would get the attention of somebody out there. Could
we be looking at evidence of election fraud hidden in plain sight?
Perhaps if there were just one or
two precincts where Obama got more than 99% of the vote we could dismiss the
results as “statistical anomalies” and ignore them.
But there were more than 100 precincts where this happened in the most
important swing state in the nation.
Maybe there is some rational explanation for the numbers that you are
about to see. If there is, I would really love to hear it.
What
makes all of this even more alarming is that there were reports of voting
machine problems during early voting in Ohio. It was being reported that some voters were claiming that they tried
to vote for Romney but that the voting machines kept recording their votes as
votes for Obama…
Lots more here, including
specific data on precincts in Cuyahoga County.
Some Cleveland Tea Party readers often volunteer at the
polls as observers. Glenn Reynolds has argued for a return to paper ballots. I wish.
