Historically, the Democrats have stolen elections for at least 100 years. Chicago/Cooke County election fraud is well documented. ACORN has finally surfaced as a major player in voter fraud and like an slime, sunlight kills. Even, the FBI is now looking at an overarching conspiracy. Hopefully, they will be prosecuted as a corrupt criminal enterprise.
How about documented cases of Republican voter fraud -- no innuendoes, no statement of outrage, or hints of conspiracies -- actual investigations and prosecutions.
Review these stories -- Democrat voter fraud and attempted MURDER convictions -- are these a myth?
The real story of the many democratic convictions of voter fraud in the United States since 2004. This gives you a shocking look at who is really stealing elections and much, much more!
Here are a few of the more memorable stories:
In Washington State, the blog Sound Politics reported that election officials knowingly and unlawfully counted ballots from ineligible voters in 2004 and then modified computer records to cover it up.
Democrats took the governor’s office on the third recount, by 129 votes.
In New Jersey… Dead people cast more than 4,000 votes in 2004, and nearly 11,000 people appear to have voted twice.
In West Virginia At least ten democrats entered guilty pleas for voter fraud in Logan and neighboring Lincoln County. Votes were bought in these West Virginia counties with booze, cash, payment of college tuition, and promises of gravel roads!
This brings us to St. Louis where Convicting Democrats has become the new Pastime. At least 16 local Democrats were convicted of election crimes in the last two years.
-In December 2004, Six volunteers for "Operation Big Vote" entered guilty pleas to dozens of election law violations for filling out the cards with names of the dead and other bogus information at a local McDonalds. Election officials launched an investigation after noticing that among the new voters registered was longtime Alderman Albert "Red" Villa, who died in 1990.
-In February 2005, Democrat Nonaresa Montgomery who ran Operation Big Vote, was found guilty of perjury in the St. Louis Circuit Court in her voter fraud trial.
This leads us to one of the most shocking and the largest voter fraud cases in the region’s history.
The story starts on October 31, 2004 at the East St. Louis VFW Hall…
Illinois State Board of Elections records reveal that 40 (of 44) ESL democratic precinct committeemen have received nearly $230,000 (collectively), over the past four years, for their 'political activism' in ESL elections.
Sources also stated that, on October 31, 2004 just days before the national elections over $80,000 was distributed to ESL politicians, at the East St. Louis VFW Hall, for the purpose of "getting out the vote".
Around this time, Illinois State Treasurer, Republican Judy Topinka, who is currently running for governor of Illinois, traveled to East St. Louis to question absentee ballot procedures.
A boarding house came into question at 1232 Cleveland Avenue. Oliver Hamilton, a Democratic precinct committeeman, owned the boardinghouse.
It is a home for the mentally ill in East St. Louis. Eleven of the voters at this address requested absentee ballots for the 2004 election.
Another questionable registration was a woman who listed her home address as 200 S. Front St. This, of course, happens to be the address of the Casino Queen!
Steve McGlynn, a former chairman of the St. Clair County Republican Party, said he had received "specific information" that Democrats planned to buy votes, particularly in East St. Louis, with cash and crack cocaine.
McGlynn said he had delivered to the East St. Louis Election Board lists of hundreds of registered voters that he had cross-referenced with names from local obituary pages.
When questioned, Robert Sprague, the St. Clair County Democratic chairman, dismissed McGlynn's allegations as "hogwash." Sprague said the Democrats were planning an aggressive get-out-the-vote push but declined to describe those efforts in detail.
LinkDays earlier… Kelvin Ellis, an East St. Louis top administrator and ex-con, heard that a female acquaintance of his had met with FBI agents on October 5th for questioning about voter fraud. That is when Ellis took action. He first talked of keeping her quiet but the taped conversations with an undisclosed witness quickly got more sinister.
"I want her credibility destroyed," Ellis is reported to have said. "She is trying to destroy us. No telling what she's saying."
Ellis worked on a plan to plant one-half ounce of crack cocaine on the witness and have her arrested.
As the weeks passed, the conversations turned more sinister, with Ellis saying on Nov. 19, "I want her... taken out, however we have to do it."
The talk shifted from a set-up to Ellis' alleged instructions to "dispose of her."
Later, Ellis was shown a photograph "depicting what appeared to be the murdered" witness. Ellis was told, falsely, that she was thrown to the bottom of Horseshoe Lake in Madison County, Illinois.
Ellis was indicted for voter fraud and/or conspiracy and attempted murder.
These local democrats were convicted of election violations and/or attempted murder:
-In March 2005, Democratic Precinct committeemen Leroy Scott Jr., Lillie Nichols,; Terrance R. Stith, and his wife, precinct worker Sandra Stith,; entered guilty pleas to one count each of vote-buying.
-In July 2005 a jury in the East St. Louis gave out guilty verdicts for all five defendants in the biggest vote fraud case in the area’s history:
Convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit vote fraud was Charles Powell Jr., head of the city's powerful Democratic Central Committee and a former city council member.
Convicted of conspiracy and vote fraud were:
• Kelvin Ellis, East St. Louis top administrator, who previously served a federal prison term for extortion in the early 1990s.
• Yvette Johnson, secretary to the city Democratic organization.
• Democratic precinct committeemen Sheila Thomas and Jesse Lewis.
Kelvin Ellis later entered a guilty plea for attempted murder.
However, his "running a prostitution ring out of City Hall" charge did not make it to court!
The State of Missouri heard final arguments on Wednesday, September 6th, against the voter ID legislation passed by Republican Governor Matt Blunt. ACLU lawyer Burton Newman is challenging the law and represents the city governments of St. Louis and Kansas City.
The law is a step in the right direction and will increase confidence in the election process. It will also keep Alderman Albert "Red" Villa out of the polling booth and let him rest in peace after his many years of public service.
LinkVOTER FRAUD CONVICTIONS IN EAST CHICAGO

LinkSeven charged in vote-fraud scheme
By Keith Ervin, Seattle Times staff reporter
Friday, July 27, 2007
Workers accused of concocting the biggest voter-registration-fraud scheme in state history said they were under pressure from the community-organizing group that hired them to sign up more voters, according to charging papers filed Thursday.
To boost their output, the defendants allegedly went to the downtown Seattle Public Library, where they filled out voter-registration forms using names they made up or found in phone books, newspapers and baby-naming books.
One defendant "said it was hard work making up all those cards," and another "said he would often sit at home, smoke marijuana and fill out cards," according to a probable-cause statement written by King County sheriff's Detective Christopher Johnson.
Prosecutors in King and Pierce counties filed felony charges Thursday against seven employees of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, claiming they turned in more than 1,800 phony voter-registration forms, including an estimated 55 in Pierce County.
The defendants have not entered pleas. They are scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 2. None of the defendants has been arrested in connection with the alleged scheme. Two are in jail in unrelated cases.
The defendants faked cards as an easy way to get paid, not as an attempt to influence the outcome of elections, said King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg. None of the phony registrations led to illegal voting.
"This is the worst case of voter-registration fraud in the history of the state of Washington. There has been nothing comparable to this," state Secretary of State Sam Reed said at a news conference with Satterberg, King County Executive Ron Sims and acting U.S. Attorney Jeff Sullivan.
State and local officials said they have signed a five-year agreement with ACORN that requires the organization to beef up its training and procedures for detecting and reporting fraud. ACORN agreed to pay King County $25,000 for investigative costs and acknowledged it could be subject to criminal prosecution if fraud occurs again.
Most of the alleged fraud took place in King County, whose Elections Canvassing Board on Thursday revoked 1,762 voter registrations filled out by ACORN canvassers. Most of the registrations used the addresses of Seattle homeless shelters.
Little Rock, Ark.-based ACORN organizes low- and moderate-income communities on issues including affordable housing, interest limits on payday loans and wider participation in elections.
King County prosecutors coordinated the probe, which began after election workers discovered in October that signatures on registration cards submitted by ACORN seemed to have been written by only a few people. The King County Sheriff's Office, Pierce County prosecutors, U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI participated.
King County prosecutors charged Tina Marie Johnson, 24, of Tacoma, and Jayson Lee Woods, 19, of Elkridge, Md., with eight counts each of providing false information on a voter registration. Clifton Eugene Mitchell, 44, of Lakewood, Pierce County, and Ryan Edward Olson, 28, of Needles, Calif., were charged with two counts each, and Robert Edward Greene, 56, of Tacoma, and Kendra Lynn Thill, 18, no known address, with one count each.
Brianna Rose Debwa, 35, of Tacoma, was charged with one count of providing false information on a voter registration and one count of making a false statement to a public official. The penalty for each charge is up to one year behind bars.
None of the defendants could be reached for comment Thursday.
Satterberg called Mitchell "a ringleader." According to charging papers, he encouraged canvassers he supervised to forge registration forms to meet ACORN's quota of 18 to 20 registrations per canvasser per day at a time when the organization was threatening to shut down the Puget Sound voter drive for poor performance.
Mitchell allegedly told investigators that a staff member in the ACORN national office promised him a $25,000-a-year job with benefits "if he got the numbers up."
Charging papers said Debwa, who was responsible for verifying the identity of newly registered voters and submitting cards to election officials, suspected canvassers were falsifying registrations in the final weeks of the two-county registration drive but didn't report it to higher ACORN officials for fear of losing her job.
Canvassers were paid $8 an hour, prosecutors said.
ACORN's Washington state president, John Jones, said he will put the emphasis in future campaigns on "doing it right" rather than meeting a quota. To guard against fraud in the future, he said, "We're going to screen people better, we're going to do background checks on them, we're going to check their references, we're going to get people with a track record in doing this. ...
"I apologize to the residents of the state of Washington. One thing we know for sure is ACORN is coming back, we're coming back stronger and we're going to give you a better product."
Jones said he was unaware of canvassers' criminal records.
According to court documents, Mitchell has two convictions for violating orders of protection against his girlfriend. He is currently booked into Pierce County Jail on a charge of violating a protection order issued in June.
Johnson pleaded guilty in Pierce County in 2002 to two counts of second-degree child molestation for taking part in a "truth or dare" game that resulted in a 12-year-old girl touching the private parts of an adult man. She also has convictions for burglary and theft in King County Superior Court.
Olson pleaded guilty in Pierce County to a 2005 charge of harassment for writing a bomb-threat note he claimed was intended as a prank on a co-worker. Greene is in Pierce County Jail on charges of possessing crack cocaine.
Elsewhere, four ACORN canvassers in Kansas City, Mo., have pleaded guilty in federal court to felony voter-registration fraud.
