You probably haven't heard this from the 'liberal' media: Republican could be ousted over vote fraud
It's always funny that the 'liberal' media tries to tie voter fraud to Democrats and ACORN, but when an actual case of voter fraud comes up, just what party does the suspect always belong to...

"Democrat Vop Osili lost the election for secretary of state by more than 340,000 votes, but his party hasn't given up hope that he'll claim the office.

The Republican winner, Charlie White, is under investigation by two special prosecutors on allegations of felony voter fraud. He's accused of voting in a precinct in which he did not live.

Democrats say he should be found ineligible to serve as Indiana's chief elections officer, and that state law provides for the second-highest vote-getter to be elected instead.

Friday, Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker filed a petition with the Indiana Recount Commission contesting White's election. He argued that White was trying to cover up the fact that he had moved outside the Fishers Town Council district he represented, so he voted in the May 2010 primary in a precinct in which he no longer lived.

Parker said White was fraudulently registered to vote at the wrong address, so was ineligible to be nominated by the GOP and ineligible to serve now that he's been elected.

And, he said in the petition, White would also be ineligible to serve if he's convicted of a felony."

4. Not too many are convinced that voter fraud exists except for a
bunch of computer software engineers who know how easy it is to rig the voting machines. But what do they know?

5. I agree but the correct term for that illegal action is election fraud
Voter fraud has to do with fraud committed by the voters, not the counters or ballot stuffers.
An important distinction because "voter fraud" is used as an excuse to suppress certain voters from actually voting by putting up roadblocks, usually against minorities, but sometimes against the poor in general.

As a programmer all I can say is it is pathetically easy to rig elections via computer tabulation as well as on the actual voting machine's software. I am completely convinced it has been and is taking place at least since 2002 on a fairly regular basis.
