The dead, felons and Ritzy the dog water down votes
|
 Following their defeat by the narrowest of margins -- a loss they took with all the grace of a kindergarten class losing its candy -- Democrats have vowed to make every vote count. I wonder if that includes the vote of a woman who died in 1993 and still managed to vote in the 1994 Mingo County election. Thankfully, U.S. Attorney Kasey Warner is gathering guilty pleas from the latest johns in the latest Southern West Virginia vote-pimping scheme. But vote fraud is not a spring and autumnal sport known only to West Virginia. Consider these reports:- John Fund, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, found that eight of the 19 hijackers on Sept. 11 were registered to vote in either Florida or Virginia in the 2000 election.
- The New York Daily News reports that 46,000 people were registered to vote both in New York and Florida. The News found 68 percent were Democrats, 12 percent Republicans and 16 percent independents.
- The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that more than 1,000 voter registration forms and requests for absentee ballots may be fraudulent. They were the work of the NAACP's National Voter Fund and Americans Coming Together-Ohio.
- The Detroit Free Press blasted attempts to add "fraudulent, duplicative or otherwise phony names to the voter rolls." This was the work of Public Interest Research Group in Michigan and Project Vote.
- The Kansas City Star found hundreds of people who voted in both Kansas and Missouri in the 2000 and 2002 elections. Election officials lack the ability to cross-check. Missouri also is the home to Ritzy the dog, who voted in the 1994 election. He has since departed for doggy heaven, but may still be voting.
- The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News reported that eight people used the same apartment number to register to vote in the August primary. A knock on the door revealed that only one man lived there.
- The Alamogordo (N.M.) News found a 13-year-old boy received a voter registration application in the mail.
The reaction from Democrats to this widespread fraud is appalling. Unable to win fairly and squarely, at best they turn their heads to this shame. That 13-year-old boy's vote? New Mexico requires a photo ID at the polls for first-time voters. Secretary of State Rebecca Virgil-Giron, a Democrat, ordered county clerks to ignore the law. John Kerry accused Republicans of racism for daring to enforce election laws. He told the Congressional Black Caucus last month, "We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression." Statements like that show why Kerry deserves to lose. Until Democrats are willing to enforce laws that protect the votes of the law-abiding, they cannot be trusted with the leadership of the free world.
