Stealing an Election

I have heard rumors of this for years, but there has been very little proof until now. With the advent of tiny video cameras that a person can have in things like a pen or eye glasses, it has become possible to catch people saying things that they wouldn't normally say publicly, but they do say to people they trust. Thus, at the American Thinker today, Selwyn Duke has the story of people plotting to steal elections. Go check out the whole thing, and also the links.

Patrick Moran is right about one thing, the requirement to have a photo ID when you vote is not related to minorities and the poor not being able to get such ID.  Most states offer these forms of identification free of charge.  The expense involves simply getting to a local Department of Motor Vehicles to both register to vote, and to obtain an identification.  No, the resistance on the part of the Democrat party is because voter fraud is harder to accomplish when photo ID is in place.  Harder, but not impossible.

With so many states in play at this point, perhaps the regime feels that they can "count their way to victory," as did "Senator" Al Franken.  "Oh, we just discovered some uncounted ballots in the trunk of a car, and look, they all voted for me!  Who wooda thunk it!"

Here in North Carolina, we seem to have some voting machines that magically switch your vote if you voted for the wrong candidate **cough, cough, Romney, cough, cough**. Apparently the machines know when you do this, and for your convenience, they just change your vote automatically.  Nothing to see here, move along.  In that case, I don't know how anyone can trust the vote, no matter how it turns out.

Selwyn Duke ends his piece on this disturbing note:

I've said for a long time that this election is going to be the dirtiest in US history, mainly because the left moves ever further down the rabbit hole of relativism, which begets an end-justifies-the-means mentality. Moreover, I truly believe that these liberal political operatives can steal enough votes in swing states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico to turn them in Obama's favor and thus steal the election. Remember, you don't need an October Surprise when you have a November 6 Surprise.

Conservatives had better wise up, load up, and realize that this is a war.

It is a war, and it needs to be fought seriously for the stakes it represents, but it needn't be fought fire with fire. We need to push voter ID, and we need boots on the ground watching the polls alert to any fraud.

Update: Patriot Update has a similar story to the North Carolina case of voting machines automatically checking Obama despite repeatedly voting for Romney. I suspect this may be happening other places as well.
