Court Ruling Stokes Voter-Fraud Fight - Wall Street Journal

The U.S. Supreme Court quashed attempts to force hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters to undergo added scrutiny in Ohio, potentially dealing a setback to John McCain less than three weeks before the election.

The unanimous decision set aside a lower-court order that would require election officials to examine more closely the legitimacy of many new voter registrations.

No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio, and polls there currently show the race a toss-up between Sen. McCain and Barack Obama. In a close race, the difference could be the hundreds of thousands of new voters registered there. A disproportionate number of new voters throughout the U.S. are registering as Democrats.

"It remains our belief that American citizens should be guaranteed that their legitimate votes are not wiped away by illegally cast ballots," McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said in a statement Friday.

While the high court decision undercuts the Republican attempts to challenge the new wave of Democratic registrations, the McCain campaign and other party leaders are using it to amplify a political case they will make in the closing weeks of the campaign: that Democrats and their allies are trying to steal the election. Republicans have repeatedly challenged Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat who campaigned vigorously for the post by vowing to change rules set by her Republican predecessor that Democrats say could have cost them the election in 2004.

The ruling also comes amid an escalating war of words between both parties that is spilling beyond the issues that divide them to voting rules -- with Republicans alleging Democrats are trying to steal the election by registering illegitimate voters, and Democrats charging Republicans are trying to suppress the vote.

Allegations of voter registration fraud have surfaced in about a dozen states, and federal agents have joined state investigations looking into thousands of suspicious voter applications.

Friday's high court decision also shows the continuing impact of its Bush v. Gore ruling deciding the outcome of the 2000 election. U.S. elections still are shaped by complex, inconsistent rules and a patchwork of state laws, of which the high court remains an uncomfortable referee.

"A disproportionate number of new voters throughout the U.S. are registering as Democrats." --Wall Street Urinal

Disproportionate, compared to what? A million innocent Iraqis slaughtered for their oil? A ten trillion dollar deficit? Multiple tax cuts for the rich? The number of lies the Bushwhacks have told? The financial 9/11 they just pulled?

Big Democratic registration is only "disproportionate" if you don't understand the reasons for it, and have been lapdogs to the Bushwhack criminals for eight years, and agree with slaughtering Iraqis to get their oil, and placing the humongous debt for that on the poor, unto the 7th generation, and cleaned up in the recent induced "meltdown," and ignored the huge Democratic voter registration back in 2004, when the grass roots Dems blew the Pukes away in new registrations, nearly 60/40, one of the compelling statistics that points to massive Bushwhack election fraud in 2004.

Dirtbag journalists. DISPROPORTIONATE, MY ASS!

Look at this framing:

"Allegations of voter registration fraud have surfaced in about a dozen states, and federal agents have joined state investigations looking into thousands of suspicious voter applications.

"Friday's high court decision also shows the continuing impact of its Bush v. Gore ruling deciding the outcome of the 2000 election. U.S. elections still are shaped by complex, inconsistent rules and a patchwork of state laws, of which the high court remains an uncomfortable referee."

God, where to begin? Allegations "surface" (are scraped up by Bushwhacks, making something out of nothing). Bushwhack "federal agents" are on the case! "Thousands" of "suspicious" voter applications! You know how many people voted in 2004 (the COUNTED votes): ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION! A few thousand "suspicious" voter registrations is NOTHING. It is statistically INEVITABLE. And what the frack does "suspicious" mean? They didn't sign with their middle initial?

The second paragraph is subtler, but much worse as to lies and disinformation. "An uncomfortable referee" my friggin ass! Those cowardly or corrupt so-called "justices" of the Supreme Court couldn't have been more happy to put that warmongering, lying, Corpo/fascist bunch of pigs in the White House! Some "referee"! What they did was ILLEGAL. It broke the law. It was a coup d'etat!

The states' election laws are "inconsistent" and "a patchwork" for A REASON. The Founders of this country WANTED the states to control elections because state government is closer to the people. It was part of their "balance of power" design of the U.S. Constitution. The last thing in the world they wanted was for the Supreme Court to ILLEGALLY override a state's clear-as-a-bell election laws for recounts, as they did in Florida 2000. And these jerkwads of "Wall Street" are setting something up here--they are setting up federalization and centralization of our election laws, to remove power over elections as far away from the people as possible, and then, of course, to REQUIRE electronic voting, with no audit/recount controls, which will be computed in some basement in Hong Kong or, hey, Saudi Arabia. They own our asses. They might as well own the 'TRADE SECRET' code in our voting machines, and maybe they already do.

Think about that! The sheiks of Araby buying Diebold and ES&S. Ha-ha on us!

That's what we're set up for NOW--stolen elections 'ad infinitum'--with private corporations in total, 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY control of the vote counts. And the best hope for undoing this travesty is...guess what? ...state/local control of election systems.

We should celebrate this "patchwork." It is probably our only hope of restoring democracy in this country. The Diebold III Congress ain't gonna do it, believe me. We, the people, have to do it--down at our local county registrars and in our state legislatures, where ordinary people still have some influence.

That's the sneakiest, most diabolical thing in this wretched article--that those poor, weary, so-called 'justices' on the Supreme Court--with their lifelong jobs, and fat salaries and benefits, and their hunting trips with the super-rich and super-powerful--are just so "uncomfortable" being the "referee" to this "complex" set of rules that gives their poor, weary little heads such terrible migraines. Best we simplify things for them--one computer, based in Mecca, or maybe Rome, huh?--dedicated to (s)electing worshipers of the Great Prick in the Sky to rule over us.

Yeah, I'm fuming.
