Right Wing group attempting to raise money by frightening people into believing that Hillary Clinton will steal the presidency. You know, like Barack Obama already did.

Remember True the Vote? 

It’s the right-wing voter-monitoring group based out of Houston dedicated to cracking down on (largely imaginary!) voter fraud. The organization, led by Catherine Engelbrecht, recruits eager, aggressive election monitors and (naturally) advocates for controversial voter ID laws. True the Vote has also itself been accused of intimidating minority (read: Democratic) voters and having a slippery grip on facts, so it has that going for it, as well. 

One of the group’s latest fundraising emails floats the idea that the Republican National Committee is absolutely powerless to stop the Democrats and Hillary Clinton from rigging and stealing the 2016 election. 

"It's really a simple question," the email reads. "Do you believe Hillary is capable of stealing the election? If your answer is yes, then please give generously to True the Vote. The Republican Party can't and won't stop this election from being stolen...I kid you not...If you want honest elections, True the Vote is your best defense. We will keep fighting when others cannot — or will not."

Of course the Daily Beast goes on to remind its readers that in person voter fraud is as rare as UFO sightings.

However that is not enough to dissuade people who are absolutely convinced that we live in a country based on conservative values, and that anyone elected who does not embrace that ideology must have cheated.

Remember projection is a real thing. Accusing others of the unethical things that you, or your party, engage in is more common than you might think. 

Which is funny because the only REAL evidence of vote tampering comes from conservatives, using things like voter caging and rigged voting machines.  

Shannyn Moore has some interesting questions for a notorious vote caging expert who was up here during our last election cycle.

Who is Tim Griffin? Why was he here? Prepare for less than savory answers.

On May 30, 2007, investigative journalist, BBC Correspondent and best selling author, Greg Palast, turned over 500 emails to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers. The emails were inadvertently sent to the wrong email address during the 2004 campaign. Those wrongly addressed emails revealed the caging of over 70,000 voters in Florida. The targets of registration scrubbing were Black soldiers and poor Black and Hispanic citizens. Disenfranchising voters based on race has been a felony since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Palast’s information had been published for nearly 2 years, but on the day it went to Washington, Tim Griffin resigned from his Rovian created job as US Attorney in Arkansas.

This tubesteak flew up to Alaska over 20 times last year apparently to help defeat a mining initiative, but what else might he have been up to during that same period?

Please click the link and read ALL of Shannyn's post. As usual it is very well researched and chock full of interesting revelations.

Democrats are finally investigating the voter fraud charges from the 2004 election.

Senate Democrats urged the Justice Department on Monday to investigate whether one of its former prosecutors led attempts to suppress Florida voter turnout during the 2004 presidential election.

One of the fired prosecutors, Bud Cummins in Little Rock, Ark., was replaced on an interim basis by Tim Griffin - a protege of presidential political adviser Karl Rove who worked at the Republican National Committee in 2004. The two senators Monday pointed to two e-mails to Griffin - titled “caging” and dated August 2004 - listing nearly 2,000 potential voters in Jacksonville, Fla.

“Caging” refers to efforts to disqualify voters who fail to sign for registered campaign mail sent to their houses. In theory, the practice identifies homes where voters no longer live. But the Democrats said in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales that “there are many reasons why registered mail might be ‘returned to sender’ that have nothing to do with a voter’s eligibility.”

The caging lists targeted predominantly African-American neighborhoods in Jacksonville, the senators said in their letter.

This is another reason why Republicans should not be an alternate choice if the Democrats do not perform as well as their constituents would like. The Democrats may not be as effective as we would like, but at least they did not have to cheat their way into office.

All Republicans are tainted by this scandal and it just goes to show that those who wave the flag or morality are more then likely showing you a false face.
