How Many Ways To Commit Voter Fraud

I started wondering recently, just how many ways are there to commit voter fraud. I may be naive, but I am shocked at what has been found thus far and I am beginning to suspect that is just the tip of the iceberg.

My wondering turned into research and over the next few days I will post some of the stories and articles I have found. This is the first. The disinfranchised voter is a blogger.

An attempt at disfranchisement

Well drinkers, it appears your tallglassofmilk is a victim of voter fraud. Turns out that if I hadn't voted early, there's a pretty good chance I might have been hauled off in handcuffs on November 2, for attempting to vote twice. Now it might be somebody else who gets hauled away.

Sometime between the recall election and today, someone other than myself has taken the liberty of registering me as a democrat at an address I do not and have never lived at--and they used or forged my signature to do it.

I am unclear at this time if this is widespread or an isolated indident, random or personal, and if personal, against the tallglassofmilk or her real life persona.

The woman at the polling site was very helpful and referred me to a someone in the Los Angeles Registrar's Office, who was not very helpful and who was surprisingly uninterested in getting to the bottom of the fraud. The woman only seemed concerned with the fact that I was able to cast my vote--which I was. But that doesn't mean a crime hasn't been committed! I requested a copy of the voter registration affidavit, but I won't receive it til later next week.

I do not know if someone intends to show up and vote as if they were me. If they do, they are in for a big surprise. I was assured that any attempt to vote twice under the same name and signature would result in immediate arrest. Of course, I realize that by blogging this, that if the person who perpetrated this fraud is reading and was planning to vote, they will be disuaded and will not be caught. But I think that's unlikely and besides, I thought it more important to make you aware of the lengths that the democrats (seriously, who else would register me as one) are going to "steal back" the vote.
