On Nov. 2, in Springfield, Mass., metropolis election officers nailed mayoral candidate Justin Hurst for allegedly shopping for votes throughout early voting.
Videotape exhibits people being dropped off in black Suburbans and Expeditions and getting into City Hall to vote.
When they exited, a person “takes out what seems to be a big bundle of money” and peels off a invoice for every particular person, Springfield Elections Commissioner Gladys Oyola-Lopez mentioned in an affidavit.
In one week, election fraudsters had been busted in three main Northeastern cities.
Leftist organizations such because the Brennan Center for Justice and the League of Women Voters declare voter fraud is a “phantom” and “extraordinarily uncommon.”
Don’t purchase it. The proof is throughout us.
Cheating is a cakewalk due to lodging pushed by Democrats, together with common mail-in voting and unmanned drop bins.

In Bridgeport’s 2023 mayoral major, Democratic candidate John Gomes was forward, till he bought crushed late within the course of when absentee votes favoring incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim had been counted.
One Bridgeport pol described using absentee ballots there as “an artwork kind.”
That “artwork kind” could partially clarify how Ganim, who was Bridgeport’s mayor from 1991 to 2003, earlier than serving years in federal jail for racketeering, extortion, submitting false tax returns and different crimes, was in a position to stage a comeback upon his launch from jail and win election in 2015 and 2019.
In Connecticut, Democrats are singing one music: Fraud is “distinctive to Bridgeport” and isn’t an issue elsewhere. Wrong.

But Democrats, who management each homes of the state Legislature and all statewide workplaces, refuse to tighten voting procedures.
That’s not onerous to elucidate: In statewide races, together with for governor or president, Republicans traditionally have been forward till absentee ballots in Connecticut’s Democrat-controlled cities are tallied.
Across the nation, Republicans are urgent state Legislatures to get rid of drop bins and bar third events from gathering enormous numbers of accomplished ballots — a follow known as “harvesting.”
Republicans additionally need to use software program to match the signature on the mail-in poll to the signature on the voter registration kind.
Democrats virtually universally oppose these safeguards, calling them “voter suppression.”
“Cheating suppression” is extra prefer it.
Most European nations require voters to indicate up in particular person, until they’re in a foreign country or disabled. These nations tried mail-in voting and eradicated it within the face of widespread fraud.
Americans must get good. Convenience shouldn’t take precedence over safety.
Before you board a airplane, you must wait in line whereas your carry-ons are inspected. It’s inconvenient however price it.
Same is true for voting. When you activate the TV election night time to look at the returns, you need to know the outcomes are trustworthy. Whether your candidate wins or not.
America has one yr to get the job performed.
