Tom Fitton Warns of Massive Voter Fraud Danger in Current Presidential Election
Soon-To-Be-Released Book by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton Warns of Massive Voter Fraud Danger in Current Presidential Election
AUGUST 08, 2016
‘This is especially important because of the lack of interest of the Obama Justice Department in investigating and prosecuting voter fraud’ – from attached pre-release chapter of Clean House
(Washington, DC) – A soon-to-be-released book by New York Times bestselling author Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton warns that America may now be facing the greatest voter fraud danger in recent history. And it lays the blame for the crisis directly at the feet of President Barack Obama and his Justice Department.
The book – Clean House (to be released August 30 from Simon & Schuster/Threshold Editions) – cites examples nationwide of attempts by the Obama Justice Department to thwart efforts to clean up voter rolls, require voter ID at the polls, and prevent voter intimidation. In a chapter titled “Voter Fraud – Stealing Elections – The Danger of Voter Fraud and the Fight for Election Integrity,” Fitton describes major legal battles to protect voter integrity in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, and Indiana.
The book’s explosive “Voter Fraud” chapter reveals that:
- In Indiana, the Obama/Holder Justice Department opposed federally mandated efforts to clean up the voter lists – despite publically available information showing that “the number of people listed on voter registration roles in 12 Indiana counties exceeded 100 percent of the total number of residents of voting age in those counties.” – page 129
- In Florida, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit in 2012 to stop the state’s efforts to comply with the National Voting Rights Act by removing “53,000 registered voters who were dead-as well as an additional 2,700 noncitizens.” – page 134
- And in Pennsylvania, when the New Black Panther Party stood in a doorway of a polling place clad in black paramilitary uniforms, brandishing a nightstick, arguing with passersby, and shouting racial insults at poll watchers, “the case was abruptly curtailed and all but shut down by the newly appointed officials of the Obama administration.” – page 120
According to Clean House, America’s voter fraud crisis is both widespread and widely recognized. The book cites a recent Pew Research Center study revealing that “approximately 2.75 million people have active voter registrations in more than one state” and “20 million – one of every eight – active registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate.” And it cites a Rasmussen poll from August 2013 reporting that “only 39 percent of Americans believe elections are fair.”
“We have all heard about voter fraud and the attempts by liberal media organs like the New York Times and Ivory Tower academics to dismiss it as a nonexistent problem,” writes Fitton in the “Voter Fraud” chapter. “But is it real, widespread, and substantial to the point that it can decide elections. It also drives honest citizens out of the democratic process and breeds distrust in our government.”

Democrats Are Preparing Massive Voter Fraud Efforts Nationwide

Democrats Are Preparing Massive Voter Fraud Efforts Nationwide
The Clinton campaign and Democrats have been bringing dozens of lawsuits against the effort by any state to clamp down on voter fraud. Specific targets of the left have been Voter ID laws and efforts by the states to clean up voter registration rolls that are overly bloated with ineligible voters, dead voters and voters who have left the jurisdiction.
Funding for much of the Democrat effort to prepare for massive voter fraud is being provided by liberal billionaire George Soros through various political foundations. As Democrats are increasingly losing the legal battles to prevent voter ID laws, the have been relegated to the roll of obstructionist and they are becoming increasingly outrageous with unwinnable lawsuits.
The filing of lawsuits against states all across the country provide a clear indication that the Clinton campaign and Democrats are preparing massive voter fraud efforts. Dozens of lawsuits have been filed by the Obama Justice Department, the Democrat Party, the Clinton campaign and various other groups funded by liberal billionaire George Soros that seek to eviscerate election integrity protections. The lawsuits are just part of a coordinated effort by by the left to radically change the US electoral system to advance their liberal agenda.
Paving The Way For Voter Fraud
In much the same way an invading army bombards the defensive positions of their enemy for considerable time to soften and degrade the enemy before risking their troops in direct combat, Democrats have been softening the electorate and conservatives with media bombardment and lawsuits. For many years, Democrats and their mainstream media partners have softened the opposition to their measures, using a media blitz with multiple objectives.
Their primary and continuing objective has been to convince the electorate that there is no voter fraud, an objective with which they have had moderate success. To understand the magnitude of this effort, perform a Google exact-match search for the phrase 'voter fraud is a myth.' Google has 3,940 articles in their index that use that exact phrase. What are the odds? That is a great deal of content with the exact same phrase and message.
Their secondary goal has been to convince voters that voting rules of any kind constitute Republican voter suppression. Democrats and the mainstream media go to great lengths to sell this one, in part because it is a tougher sale, but in part because they enjoy making the claim. It's as if the very act of saying it makes them feel justified in committing voter fraud. Again looking at search trends, in the last eight years, 'Republican voter suppression' produces 11,500 exact-match Google search results and 'GOP voter suppression' produces 15,100 exact-match search results.
Their most aggressive efforts are dedicated to opposing maintenance of voter registration rolls and opposing voter ID laws. These initiatives pose a very real threat to successful voter fraud. Democrats combine media bombardment with a mind boggling assortment of frivolous lawsuits to oppose voter ID laws.
Cleaning Up Voter Registration Rolls To Prevent Voter Fraud
It seems that the most basic, most sensible efforts by State officials meets with the most venomous opposition from Democrats. I think anyone reading this article would agree that voter registration rolls for any given precinct, county or state should be comprised of living citizens who are registered to vote. They are most commonly called registered voters. It never ceases to amaze me that Democrats attack any effort to maintain or clean up voter registration rolls with such vitriol. But, they have no choice, because clean voter registration rolls leave precious little room for voter fraud.
Any time a state tries to clean up voter registration rolls, Democrats scream bloody murder, and claim Republicans are trying to purge voters. It seems Democrats get very, very upset anytime dead people are removed from voter registration rolls. They get positively apoplectic and, at times, come very close to defending the right of dead people to vote. Apparently, in Chicago, dead people have a very long history of electoral activity.
But the fact remains that swollen voter registration rolls are a very real, very expensive problem. The problem has attracted the attention of a public interest law firm that is now threatening to bring lawsuits against 141 counties in 21 states that have more registered voters than they do living residents. First of all, this is impossible on its face (the subset cannot be larger than the set). In fact, registered voters are 66.8 percent of the living population nationwide in the US, because not all adults register to vote and children never register to vote. You can see why counties with greater than 100 percent registration drew attention.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a law firm dedicated to election integrity based in Indiana, recently sent statutory notice letters to election officials in 141 counties putting them on notice of their discoveries. The group says if action is not taken to correct the questionable voter rolls, they will bring lawsuits against every single county on the list.
“Corrupted voter rolls provide the perfect environment for voter fraud,” said J. Christian Adams, president and general counsel of PILF. “Close elections tainted by voter fraud turned control of the United States Senate in 2009. Too much is at stake in 2016 to allow that to happen again.”
The statutory notice letters argue the counties are violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and urge them to correct the issue, claiming their voter rolls contain a substantially high amount of ineligible voters. The group used federally produced data to come to their conclusions.
“Voter rolls across America have been discovered that contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters, resulting in the possible disenfranchisement of legally eligible voters via ballot dilution that threatens to subvert the nation’s electoral process,” the letter sent to the violating counties reads.
“Based on our comparison of publicly available information published by the US Census Bureau and the federal Election Assistance Commission, your county is failing to comply with Section 8 of the NVRA,” it continues. “Federal law requires election officials to conduct a reasonable effort to maintain voter registration lists free of dead voters, ineligible voters and voters who have moved away.”
“In short, your county has significantly more voters on the registration rolls than it has eligible live voters and is thus not reasonably maintaining the rolls.”
More outrageous still, some counties have voter registration rates that exceed 150 percent of living residents. It came as no surprise that the counties with the greatest percentage of illegal registered voters are in Illinois. Franklin County contains the highest voter registration rate at 190 percent followed by Pulaski County with a 176 percent voter registration rate.
Mr. Adams, who is a former Justice Department lawyer who served in the civil rights division at the DOJ, said former Attorney General Eric Holder and current Attorney General Loretta Lynch refused to enforce the law because they don’t have a problem with corrupted voter rolls.
“Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch have deliberately refused to enforce this law because they have no problem with corrupted voter rolls,” Christian Adams told the Washington Free Beacon. “They don’t like the law, so they don’t enforce it. It’s a pattern that has come to characterize this Justice Department.”
Democrats Attack Virginia Voter ID Law
In order to give massive voter fraud efforts the greatest chance for success, the Democrat Party and the Clinton campaign, in conjunction with the Justice Department and numerous private groups funded by billionaire liberal George Soros, file lawsuits that oppose every single voter ID law in the country. Th
at's alot of lawsuits and they are frequently absurd.
In a recent filing in a lawsuit that opposes Virginia's voter ID law, the Democrats claim that Virginia’s voter ID law harms them because if the ID “is lost or stolen, or if they forget to bring it, they face greater hurdles to voting and, in many cases, may find themselves completely disenfranchised.” They go on to say that “many voters” “are discouraged in general by the imposition of the voter ID law and, therefore, it is the requirement that they present ID — whether they have the required ID or not — that causes them not to vote.”
In other words, Democrats contend that it is a violation of the Voting Rights Act to require a voter to remember to bring their ID to the polls and to take the ID out of their pocket when they get there.
Clinton Campaign Attacks Alabama’s Voter ID Law
Alabama has 44 driver's license offices statewide and had, until now, 31 part-time satellite offices. State budget constraints forced Alabama to close the part-time satellite offices, causing Hillary Clinton to spring into action against this obviously racist act by Alabama Republicans.
"I strongly oppose Alabama’s decision to close driver’s license offices across the state, especially in counties that have a significant majority of African Americans. Just a few years ago, Alabama passed a law requiring citizens to have a photo ID to vote. Now they’re shutting down places where people get those photo IDs. This is only going to make it harder for people to vote. It’s a blast from the Jim Crow past.
"We’re better than this. We should be encouraging more Americans to vote, not making voting harder. As President, I’ll push for automatic voter registration for every American when they turn 18, and a new national standard of at least 20 days of early in-person voting in every state. And I’ll work with Congress to restore key protections of the Voting Rights Act.
"African Americans fought for the right to vote in the face of unthinkable hatred. They stood up and were beaten down, marched and were turned back. Some were even killed. But in the end, the forces of justice overcame. Alabama should do the right thing. It should reverse this decision. And it should start protecting the franchise for every single voter, no matter the color of their skin."
Don't worry, it's not Jim Crow all over again. What the dishonest Democrat candidate didn't tell you in her little holier than thou tirade is that you can get a free voter ID card in every county in Alabama. But wait, there's more. The offices that issue free voter ID cards are in the same county buildings as the closed driver’s license offices. Imagine the African Americans who will be surprised to learn that Hillary thinks they are incapable of getting a Voter ID card on the left side of the hall, instead of the right side of the hall, in the same building in Alabama.
Perhaps the Democrats should work on policies that benefit their constituents and all Americans so they can quit lying and committing voter fraud to get elected.

Why Trump May Be Absolutely Right That Election Could Be Rigged
Why Trump May Be Absolutely Right That Election Could Be Rigged
http://www.washingtonstarnews.com/hp...-Be-Rigged.jpg
August 7, 2016
A documentary film premiered earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival that takes a look into election integrity issues, including voter irregularities and risks associated with electronic voting machines. Amid reports of high profile hacks at organizations affiliated with the Democratic Party, and Donald Trump’s assertions that the election might be rigged, election integrity issues are sure to remain a key topic this election season.
The opening scene of the trailer for Jason Grant Smith’s documentary film I Voted? really encapsulates how little the average voter thinks about how the vote is actually recorded.
“If [a voter] really stopped to examine, or of someone presses them on this, ‘Well, how do you know that your vote was recorded the way you intended?’ They have to say, ‘Well gee, I don’t know,’” former Congressman Rush Holt explains in the opening scene.
They then cut to a parking lot where a young woman is asked, “When you cast your ballot, how do you know that they are getting it right?”
“That they are getting it right? Oh, well isn’t that their job to get it right?” the somewhat confused young woman responds.
https://youtu.be/6wYQcdTwpac
A separate segment a bit later in the trailer with an activist named Frank Heindel really drives the point home.
“There is no way to prove that what you touch the button for is actually your vote,” Heindel says. “It runs through a secret proprietary software program that we have no idea what it is doing to our vote totals at the end of the day.”
In an interview with LawNewz.com, filmmaker Jason Smith explained that the goal of the film was to alert the public to the potential problems with the current voting systems used throughout the country. One major focus of the film is the inability of election officials in some areas to actually prove the outcome of the election is accurate.
For example, Smith points to Donald Trump’s recent remarks about a “rigged system,” saying they are especially significant in the event the election is decided amid some sort of electronic voting irregularity. The confusion and doubt surrounding such a scenario would be potentially worse than the 2000 election in Florida.
The reason?
Several key swing states use electronic voting systems with no backup paper trail. That type of system makes it virtually impossible for election officials to provide proof of how the election results were achieved.
The best way to prevent this type of scenario, Smith says, would be for states to incorporate voting systems with a paper trial.
“We need to have paper based voting with meaningful post election audits that are software independent,” Smith said.
A “software independent” audit refers to a type of system that uses a separate vote counting program to tabulate a recount. This way, if there is flaw in the original vote counting software, the back up audit system software is more likely to catch the irregularity.
As LawNewz.com explained earlier this week, threats from cyberattacks or hacking into the voting system are not exactly far-fetched conspiracy theories. It is true that there are no confirmed incidents of a voting machine actually getting hacked in a manner that manipulated an election outcome. However, there are multiple examples of incidents that lead experts to question the safety and reliability of voting systems across the country.
In fact, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson on Wednesday recommended the federal government consider designating the election system as “critical infrastructure.”
“I do think we should carefully consider whether our election process is critical infrastructure, like the financial sector, like the power grid,” Sec. Johnson said, according to USA Today.
Such a designation would reportedly allow DHS to take steps, working with state and local election authorities, to provide additional protections against cyberattacks and protect the integrity of the voting process.
Additional information about the film can be found at the website ivotedmovie.com. Audiences will be able to see the full movie in late September or early October, although a specific release date has not been set.
