The disenfranchisement of America continues

The election season is a few weeks away and fraud and irregularities have become a staple of our elections. Why aren’t these crimes prosecuted? John Hayward explains the high stakes of not prosecuting voter fraud and wonders why this serious crime isn’t being treated as such in this week’s Impertinent Question.

IMPERTINENT QUESTIONS:
Why Take Elections Seriously?
By John Hayward

There’s really no reason to take elections seriously.

I’m not talking about voters. We need to take them very seriously indeed. A large portion of our lives has come under political control. Voting the wrong way can cause the industry you work for to be bankrupted, or nationalized. The damage caused by a poor choice of President in 2008 will take many years to undo.

I mean politicians don’t need to take election law seriously. Vote fraud and other irregularities have become staples of our elections. Like most crimes, they are perpetrated on a rational basis, by people who have measured risk against reward. The risk of punishment for election tampering is minimal, while the rewards are huge. There is virtually no chance a major race will be invalidated due
to ballot or financial irregularities. The winners of elections gain control over the very agencies that would investigate their campaigns. Once victory is secured, the worst consequences awaiting dirty
politicians are fines, which deep-pocketed contributors will be happy to help them repay.

Consider Barack Obama, who has the astonishing chutzpah to complain about foreign money influencing political campaigns. As Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit reminds us, Obama’s presidential campaign was swimming in illegal foreign money, obtained by disabling security measures on his campaign website. Obama is an important asset of the sinister George Soros international network. Many of his economy-crushing decisions, which look like shocking incompetence to the casual observer, have allowed Soros to rake in gigantic profits. For example, the Obama moratorium on offshore oil drilling – maintained in defiance of common sense and court judgments – proved to be a windfall for Petrobras, the Brazilian national oil company, which counts Soros as a billion-dollar investor.

Defying our campaign finance laws to collect those foreign contributions was a winning strategic move for Obama. There was no chance of significant repercussions, as the media strongly supported
Obama’s candidacy, and had absolutely zero interest in investigating his finances. There was no chance his campaign would be suspended upon discovery of these shady contributions. Once his election was secured, Obama was completely out of the woods. He was able to shrug off the
entire controversy by saying proper identification of donors “would be a pretty hard thing for us to be able to process.”

I have been screaming about this for 2 years. The people need to wake up and force the votes to be counted properly and the illegal votes thrown out. New York failed to send out 38000 write in voter pamphlets to our military voters who normally vote 80% conservative. The people who are responsable for this should be jailed and the key thrown away as it is TREASON. I know there are a few on the left that are good people but they did not stand up to Obama and voted for all his illegal unconstitutional garbage. The Supreme court has ruled 3 times in the last 200 years that an unconstitutional law is null and void and can not be enforced. Any election official that refuses to eliminate illegal votes should be arrested on the spot and thrown in jail.

Thanks for posting. It's very true.. and though the solutions differ among people I think it's becoming difficult to excuse both the Republican and Democrat parties from their corruption.
It's true not every Republican or Democrat is corrupt, however I think it's time America woke up and realized the two party system has a kink in it that needs to be worked out.
As a write-in candidate in Utah pledging to bring the Obama eligibiltiy issue to the floor of the Senate, neither Republican, Democrat, or Constitution Party candidates have peeped a word about this, I believe I'm the only choice for Utah to save our principles and values held within our Constitution.
If you believe a U.S. Senator would be a value to you in this regard please help me with $5 to bring the commercials my campaign has ready to air.
I believe I am the only U.S. Senate Candidate in the Nation who has filed legal action on the 'natural born citizen' clause of our Constitution.

Please help me if you care about retiring Obama's pen, and demanding a hearing of verification of qualification in the U.S. Senate, my pledge to ask for one Nov. 3rd,2010. We have the commercials ready to go that you can see on my web site www.codyjudy.us , we desperately need $ dollars to air them. If you can help, please do. I am not just talking the talk, I'm walking my talk. Hope you hold all your political dollars to the same degree of Constitutional Protection in regards to this National Security interest.

Somehow we have more people in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA voting than in the rest of the state. This can not be and yet know one does anything about it.

That's because Rothschilds, Soros, Hilary and many others in our government, past and present, are members of the SAME club! This didn't start with this administration; it's been building for decades, even centuries; it's just we're now near the culmination of their evil plot against all humanity, not just Americans, but WE are a target more so than most, BECAUSE so many of us still have these "absurd Constitutional notions" and IT is an obstacle to achieving what they want! It's at the root of the attacks on Israel too; same reason, essentially.
