The perfect vote fraud
2005-06-28
Advisory - the link goes to Sound Politics (a blog) I could have linked to the actual legislation but didn't want the legalese....
This discusses the 'Voter Reform' bill (written specifically to restore voter confidence...) which recently because law in Washington State.


The bill even provides explicit instructions for committing this fraud. See (SB 5743, Sec. 7):

(1) If a voter who registered by mail indicates on the voter registration form that he or she does not have a Washington state driver's license, Washington state identification card, or Social Security number, he or she must provide one of the following forms of identification the first time he or she votes after registering:
(a) Valid photo identification;
(b) A valid enrollment card of a federally recognized Indian tribe in Washington state;
(c) A copy of a current utility bill; Yup - that proves citzenship!
(d) A current bank statement;
(e) A copy of a current government check;
(f) A copy of a current paycheck; or
(g) A government document that shows both the name and address of the voter.
(2) If the voter fails to provide one of the above forms of identification prior to or at the time of voting, the ballot must be treated as a provisional ballot regardless of whether the voter is voting at a poll site or by mail. The ballot may only be counted if the voter's signature on the outside envelope matches the signature in the voter registration records.

Translation: if the signatures match you must count - regardless of lack of identification, citizenship, etc...

Here's all one needs to do to commit this fraud. I publicize this not to encourage people to commit fraud, but to show how thoroughly cynical the Democrats were in hiding this behind the "voter identification" provision, and to encourage people to demand that Christine Gregoire, Jim Kastama and the other Democrats in the Legislature who gave us this abomination go back and fix it.

Here's how to commit Gregoire-Kastama fraud --
1) Download a voter registration form from the Sec. of State's website.

2) Fill it out, using a made-up name and any plausible address in the county/city/legislative district where you wish to vote. In the box that asks for ID, write "none". In the box that asks for last 4 digits of social security number, write "none". Just remember the signature you used.

3) On election day vote a provisional ballot. Go to a polling place in a community where nobody knows who you are. A busy polling place that attracts a lot of transients, such as near a university or in a large city downtown would be ideal. When you sign your provisional envelope, be sure to use the signature you used for the registration.

4) Repeat steps 1 - 3 for several different names. Use different addresses, in order to avoid suspicion. Naturally, you will want to cast your ballots at different polling places.

As an enhancement to (2) above, pick an address that is designed to avoid suspicions, such as a large apartment building. To really throw off anybody who is bold enough to attempt "proportional deduction" in the future, give yourself a residence in a precinct that votes the opposite way that you do. e.g. if you want to swing the vote to a Democrat, register your phony persona in a Republican precinct.

What makes Gregoire-Kastama fraud so perfect?

1. A Gregoire-Kastama voter is impossible to challenge. Under existing law, in order to challenge an illegal voter

The person filing the challenge must furnish the address at which the challenged voter actually resides.

so it's impossible to challenge a voter who doesn't exist and has no address.

2. Even if discovered after the fact, a Gregoire-Kastama vote wil stand. For the purposes of the election contest statute, a Gregoire-Kastama vote will not be considered an illegal vote, because: Illegal votes do not include votes cast by improperly registered voters who were not properly challenged under RCW 29A.08.810 and 29A.08.820.
