Flashback: ‘Ohio’s Pro-Fraud Republican’

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted released a report on May 23 on the 2012 election that liberals claim shows no threat of serious vote fraud in the Buckeye State. For perspective, here's a line from an article from the Wall Street Journal Political Diary, August 4, 2011: "It's somewhat surprising to see a Republican secretary of state, Ohio's Jon Husted, effectively kill a nascent voter ID law before it was put to a vote in the Republican-controlled state Senate."

Adams Talks of Dead Voters, Alabama Voter Fraud

A lawyer who resigned in protest from his government job took his message of an out-of-control Justice Department to the Port City on May 21, 2013, focusing on several Alabama anecdotes. J. Christian Adams spoke to the Mobile chapter of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group, about an ends-justifies-the-means mentality that he contends has infected the Justice Department under Attorney General Eric Holder. Adams, author of "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department," rose to prominence in 2010 after alleging that political considerations scuttled the prosecution of members of the New Black Panther Party accused of intimidating white voters in Philadelphia during the 2008 election. Adams said Holder and political appointees are undermining the rule of law. The framers drafted the Constitution to prevent that kind of corruption, he said. "They had these guys in mind," he said. Adams discussed three parts of his book dealing with Alabama - its history of voter fraud, its inflated voter registration rolls and its attempt to enact a voter identification law. Adams cited Perry and Hale counties, both of which have a history of voter fraud - particularly with respect to absentee voting. He said "wranglers" have filled out absentee ballots in local elections and coerced residents to sign them "by the hundreds."

An Electoral Reform Tsunami

Jefferson Davis County in southwest Mississippi has the distinction of being named after Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis. That's good or bad, depending on whether you regard what occurred between 1861 and 1865 as the Civil War or as the War Between the States. Jefferson Davis County may soon have another distinction as the place where a serious national legal effort to push back against vote fraud was launched. On April 26, three former U.S. Justice Department attorneys filed lawsuits on behalf of the ACRU in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi seeking an order to compel election officials in Jefferson Davis County, as well as in nearby Walthall County, to clean up their voter rolls.
