[EL] Fw: The GOP Can Not Legally Help Stop Voter Fraud

[Soren Dayton]

There is a consent decree based out of a 1982 New Jersey issue that binds
the RNC and the NJ GOP. It does not bind campaigns or state parties in
other states. Therefore the RNC Election Day  programs cannot involve
certain activities, but those activities can be done by campaigns or state
parties outside of New Jersey.

Normally, poll watchers are assigned by county parties which are not
parties to the consent decree. That is only one part of a long list of
things that blog post got wrong

My good friend Alan Vera of True the Vote told me long ago that we have a
two party system: the Corrupt Party and the Stupid Party.  To that fact,
during the weekly True the Vote webcast, Catherine Engelbrecht related a
meeting she had with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, asking what the GOP would
do about voter integrity.  The answer?

Nothing.  They aren’t legally able to.  (I’m not joking.)

As part of a lawsuit settlement with the Democrat
Party<http://judicialview.com/Court-Cases/Civil-Procedure/Democratic-National-Committee-v-Republican-National-Committee/10/201975>,
the Gutless Old Party* agreed to not engage in any voter protection
initiatives.* Two of the clauses read this way:

(e) refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling
places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such
districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of,
such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such
activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and the conduct of
such activities disproportionately in or directed toward districts that
have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations shall be
considered relevant evidence of the existence of such a factor and purpose;

(f) refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement
personnel in connection with ballot security activities.

ACORN Whistleblower Anita Moncrief added that when she spoke at the
Republican National Convention, she had to submit her speech to make
sure *nothing
she said could be construed as violating the order not to assist voter
integrity.*

I now think the characterization “the Stupid Party” may be too kind.

Engelbrecht said to add insult to injury, the judge who signed the
agreement has long since retired, but every single year comes back for the
sole purpose of renewing the order for another year.

Moncrief pointed out during her comments [in the conference] that in
visiting the Democrat advocacy groups in Ohio, they were organized,
motivated and purposeful in getting out their vote as was witnessed by the
long line of Somali and Ethiopian voters bussed in to polling places.  When
she visited the Romney campaign offices, she said there was utter
confusion, many were just sitting around waxing about how the couldn’t wait
to “Free Willy.”  (ORCA was the name of the failed computer program the
Romney campaign tried to use to “micro-target” volunteers to get out the
vote where it was needed.)

It was down *all day,* and finally late in the day people were sent out
with printed registration cards to go find people to vote.

Wasn’t I told by all the non-TEA Party Republicans that Romney was the best
chance we had because he ran such great businesses and had the money to
compete with Obama?   Just asking.

Moncrief said one other thing of interest.  When she visited random Ohio
polling places, there was almost *never* a GOP poll watcher and *always* a
Democratic one.

We wondered why the RNC wasn’t screaming bloody murder over the evidence of
voting fraud?  Of course, the RNC petitioned to get it changed this year
but the Obama appointee<http://www.afj.org/judicial-selection/nominees/joseph-a-greenway.html>
denied
it. Surprise, surprise.

Now you know.

And while True the
Vote<http://www.politijim.com/2012/11/www.truethevote.org> has
done amazing things in bringing awareness to the issue of voter integrity,
it is clear from the comments made tonight that they are just resigning
themselves to the lost election and enormity of the Democratic advantage.
