SunShineState News: Bureaucrats, Media Enable Voter Fraud, James O'Keefe Says

We should all be very upset. Liberals have used our voting system to get elected and re-elected when it should never have happened, but for the lack of control over our voting system to keep it viable. O'Keefe and friends have done as follows with out any problem. "Lately, O'Keefe's poses have occurred at polling places, where he obtained a ballot under the name of Attorney General Eric Holder in Arlington, Va. O'Keefe's growing legion of young "Project Veritas" pranksters/investigators has had similar success presenting themselves as NFL quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Tom Brady. In each instance, poll workers required no identification and merely asked that the voter registration roll be signed -- with an "X" if necessary. "The media aren't just biased, they're lying and trying to protect what's going on." See many instances where people are voting twice in 2 different states and so much more.

Bureaucrats, Media Enable Voter Fraud, James O'Keefe Says

What's worse, he says the mainstream media's "profound lack of curiosity" is keeping the illicit activity out of the public eye.

"Your real enemy is the mainstream media," O'Keefe told an Orlando gathering of "citizen watchdogs" hosted by the conservative Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity over the weekend. "The media aren't just biased, they're lying and trying to protect what's going on."

Waging a form of guerrilla journalism, O'Keefe, who never went to J-school, infamously dressed up as a pimp and, accompanied by a woman who played a prostitute, filmed an encounter with an ACORN worker from whom they sought cash assistance under a federally funded program.

Lately, O'Keefe's poses have occurred at polling places, where he obtained a ballot under the name of Attorney General Eric Holder in Arlington, Va. O'Keefe's growing legion of young "Project Veritas" pranksters/investigators has had similar success presenting themselves as NFL quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Tom Brady.

In each instance, poll workers required no identification and merely asked that the voter registration roll be signed -- with an "X" if necessary.

Instead of lurching into high dudgeon over the obvious security breaches, media reports ritually bash O'Keefe's acolytes, accusing them of everything from misrepresentation to criminal fraud.

O'Keefe responds that no "fraud" occurred because none of the ballots was actually cast. Still the media "push the narrative that I'm a criminal. This makes it difficult to break through with stories," he admits.

Fred Grimm, a Miami Herald columnist, typified the media's reactionary tone when he recently (a) downplayed evidence of voter fraud, and (b) childishly mocked reform initiatives.

"Florida seems to be spending a lot of time and effort and money trying to stomp out theoretical corruption instead of going after actual, real-life voter fraud," Grimm wrote.

"In 2011, the Legislature passed a 128-page election 'reform' bill that cut back on early voting, put new restrictions on third-party registration groups (like that famously subversive League of Women Voters), and eliminated the long-honored practice in Florida of allowing voters who have moved since the last election to register the change of address at the polls on Election Day."

State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, notes that the "long-honored" practice of switching addresses on Election Day is an invitation to jamming the system.

"Election Day is a voting day, not a registration event," he says.

Earlier this month, the state revealed that as many as 182,000 individuals on Florida’s voter rolls may not be U.S. citizens. The Division of Elections has also identified as many as 53,000 deceased individuals who are still eligible to vote.

Three counties -- St. Johns, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa -- have more citizens registered to vote than people alive eligible to vote, according to the most recent Election Assistance Commission report.

In Volusia County, a citizens group called Spruce Creek Patriots found 526 names of registered voters who had moved out of the county.

Confirming Baxley's concerns, the group also reported that "hundreds" of students from Stetson and Bethune-Cookman universities were bused into Daytona's City Island library to vote -- even though many had voted absentee from their home address.

"They bragged about it," said Peggy Black, of the Spruce Creek group.

Black believes that the increasing use of absentee ballots also opens the doors to fraud and abuse by part-time residents.

"Snowbirds register to vote here because of Homestead Act. I have a friend who votes here and absentee in Connecticut," she says.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
