VOTER FRAUD IN OHIO?

VOTER FRAUD IN OHIO? Busloads of Somalians brought to poll, given slate cards & told to vote for certain candidates. Human Events asks if they are citizens since they don't speak English, which is required on the citizenship test.

Update: Human Events has learned that there is a Republican interpreter for Somali voters at the at the Morse Road early voter center and has modified the story.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two volunteer poll workers at an Ohio voting station told Human Events that they observed van loads of Ohio residents born in Somalia — the state is home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States — being driven to the voting station and guided by Democratic interpreters on the voting process. No Republican interpreters were present, according to these volunteers.

While it’s not unusual for get-out-the-vote groups to help voters get to the polls, the volunteers who talked to Human Events observed a number of troubling and questionable activities.

A source, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a volunteer outside the Morse Road polling center.  She has witnessed Somalis who cannot speak English come to the polling center. They are brought in groups, by van or bus. The Democrats hand them a slate card and say, “vote Brown all the way down.” Given that Sherrod Brown is the incumbent Democrat Senator in Ohio, one can assume that this is the reference.

Non-English speaking voters may use an interpreter. The interpreters are permitted by law to interpret for the individual voting; however, they are forbidden from influencing their vote in any way. Another source who also wishes to remain anonymous has seen Democrat interpreters show the non-English speaking Somalis how to vote the Democrat slate that they were handed outside. According to this second source, there are not any Republican Somali interpreters available.

The logical follow-up question is whether a non-English speaking person is an American citizen. Although Republican leadership in Ohio passed a voting reform law, it was repealed by the legislature itself after the Democrats threatened a referendum. According to the Ohio Secretary of State’s web site, someone wanting to vote early in Ohio must supply one of the following in writing on the absentee ballot form, whether voting early by mail or in person: an Ohio driver’s license number; the last four digits of the social security number; or a copy of a current and valid photo identification, military identification, or a current — within the last 12 months — utility bill, including cell phone bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the person’s name and address in addition to the voter registration acknowledgement.

The voter is not required to show the driver’s license or social security card, but must merely write it on the absentee ballot request form. While the individual would be required to show a utility bill, bank statement or other printed document if he or she chooses that option, this is in lieu of writing the driver’s license or social security number. Therefore, the information cannot be checked against the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or other state databases. Essentially, a person is asked to check a box stating that they are a citizen, and the poll worker is to trust that they are the person who is listed on the item being shown or the information being written. In other words, someone can be an illegal resident of the state of Ohio and the United States, get an apartment, turn on the heat, bring in the Columbia Gas bill, register to vote by the deadline, and vote by showing that same bill. There is then no verification that this individual is a citizen of the United States.

Matt McClellan, the press secretary for Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, explained, “There is a process to challenge a voter’s eligibility. The point in time for a challenge to be brought ended mid October. A poll worker could challenge a voter if they had questions as to whether or not a voter was registered or eligible to vote.” However, if the poll worker does not raise the issue at the time the voting occurs, that person’s vote will otherwise be counted on election day along with everyone else’s vote. McClellan was not aware of any reports of irregularities at the Morse Road voting place in Franklin County.

Two phone calls and a text message to the Public Information Office at the Franklin County Board of Elections were not returned.

According to the Somali Community Association of Ohio’s web site, over 45,000 Somalis live in Ohio. Only 40 percent have become citizens of the United States, and only 25 percent speak English well enough to get a job.

The second source mentioned has seen voter intimidation at this same voting place. A Mitt Romney bus stopped near the voting center, approximately 30 Democrats who were outside handing out the slate cards rushed over to the bus. They yelled at the bus, and swarmed around its door when anyone attempted to exit the bus. This, from the “tolerant left.”

All elements of this story are still developing and will be updated as new information is uncovered. Stay tuned.

Illegal Alien Mass Voter Fraud Discovered in Florida 

 

HUNDREDS of cases in Florida of undocumented democrats voting illegally....THIS IS JUST THE VERY TIP OF THE ICEBERG FOLKS!

Mitt Romney is already singing victory: 13,000 ads vs: 200

Mitt Romney is already singing victory with 13,000 ads vs: Newt Gingrich's 200   

The super PACs have even outspent the campaigns. The group supporting Romney, Restore Our Future, spent a whopping $8.5 million on ads in Florida, while Winning Our Future, the super PAC backing Gingrich, spent about $2.2 million.

Romney was actually on the airwaves more in 2008, when he lost the state to Sen. John McCain. But in this race, he has dominated the airwaves against his rivals, airing almost 13,000 ads on broadcast television across the state, as of Wednesday, Jan. 25 -- much more than Gingrich and his support groups, which together have aired about 200 spots, according to the Weslayan Media Project.

The polls don't close until 8 p.m. tonight in the Florida Republican presidential primary, but Mitt Romney is already singing victory in a state that could be a crucial test for candidates in the November election.

"With a turnout like this, I'm beginning to feel we might win tomorrow," the former Massachusetts governor, who kept his schedule light today, said at a campaign stop on Monday.

Only four candidates on the ballot today are still in the race, but the Florida primary is really more of competition between Romney and Newt Gingrich.

Both candidates and the super PACs supporting them have spent millions of dollars in attack ads, but the former House speaker is far outweighed by his chief rival when it comes to spending.

Romney's campaign spent nearly $7 million on television ads leading up to the primary, more than six times that of Gingrich, whose campaign spent about $1 million.

The super PACs have even outspent the campaigns. The group supporting Romney, Restore Our Future, spent a whopping $8.5 million on ads in Florida, while Winning Our Future, the super PAC backing Gingrich, spent about $2.2 million.

Neither Rick Santorum nor Ron Paul, the other two candidates in the race, are on the airwaves. Both are focusing on Nevada, the next voting state

Romney was actually on the airwaves more in 2008, when he lost the state to Sen. John McCain. But in this race, he has dominated the airwaves against his rivals, airing almost 13,000 ads on broadcast television across the state, as of Wednesday, Jan. 25 -- much more than Gingrich and his support groups, which together have aired about 200 spots, according to the Weslayan Media Project.

Ninety-two percent of all TV ads aired in the Sunshine State over the last week were negative, mostly targeted at Gingrich, according to Kantar Media Campaign Media Analysis Group.

But despite the ads against him and his slump in the polls, Gingrich has given no signs of letting up, staying firm that he will stay in the race for the foreseeable future.

"I'm not going to lose big here," the former House speaker told ABC News today, adding that it's "six months or eight months" away from being over.

"I would say June or July," he added, "unless Romney drops out earlier."

Gingrich had made his mark by stellar debate performances that set him apart from other candidates. But that changed last week as Romney aggressively attacked Gingrich on his past connections to Freddie Mac and his immigration ads, assailing the former governor in a debate sponsored by CNN, the Florida Republican Party and the Hispanic Leadership Network.

Gingrich attempted to turn the tables on his rival in subsequent ads attacking his record as Massachusetts governor. In a new robo-call released ahead of the primary, Gingrich charged Romney with taking away money for kosher food for Holocaust survivors in a senior center.

Fifty delegates are at stake in today's primary, an important number for Romney.

"Today, Florida is the most important thing in the world to me," he told ABC News today.

Romney is leading by double digits over Gingrich in most polls. The most recent poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found Romney outshining Gingrich 43 percent to 29 percent, followed by Santorum and Paul tied at 11 percent.

Santorum, whose daughter was hospitalized earlier this week, was absent from Florida, focusing instead of campaigning in Colorado and Nevada, where caucuses will be held Saturday.

Paul plans a Florida election night party today -- but in Nevada. source:

How much does it cost to be a winner ?

Gingrich, 68, a former U.S. House speaker, arrived in Florida a week ago with the momentum of a 12-percentage-point upset win in South Carolina.

Since then, Romney and his allies have pounded Gingrich with negative television ads and on the campaign trail. They spent more than $12 million on ads in Florida, compared with $1.8 million in advertising time bought by Gingrich and his backers through Jan. 29, according to data collected by New York-based Kantar Media’s CMAG, which tracks advertising. Ninety-two percent of all TV ads aired in Florida over the last week were negative, according to the company. source:
