Sleight of Hand in America

Sleight of Hand in America

Al Ritter 

The distraction of the public’s attention is so obvious over sexual trysts between Gen. David Petraeus and his biographer and Gen John Allen and a socialite friend that nobody is paying attention to the REAL problem staring us in the face. 

Election Day is long over now, but more and more reports are coming in as to the pattern of voting inconsistencies. In 59 polling places in Philadelphia and 9 polling places in Cuyahoga County specifically Cleveland, not one vote was cast for Mitt Romney. While that sounds mysterious and inconsistent, it becomes rather obvious there was some sort of voter fraud as some votes were cast for third party candidates. If not for Cuyahoga County’s rampant voter fraud, Romney would have won Ohio. 

Here is where the problem lies; The Federal Election Commission’s only mission is to enforce campaign finance laws and has nothing to do with elections or even fraud. Our forefathers chose to separate elections from the Federal Government and give the laws and enforcement of voting to individual states. 

There have been 47 states that are circulating “petitions for secession.” Even extremely liberal states have filed them, to show their extreme displeasure in the results from Election Day. 

With 50 (or 57 depending on who you talk to) states charged with maintaining voting integrity, it becomes a real problem to address the problem as one issue. I know that with the corruption in liberal Maryland a recount would never be ordered as long as their candidate won! I’m sure many other liberal states would fall lock stock behind Obama too. 

Let’s just for argument sake forget this election results entirely because nothing will ever be addressed. How do we assure that future elections will be honest and free from voter fraud? Unless universal rules are passed by each state to assure honesty (including voter ID) nothing will change.  

Our forefather’s handling of state’s rights leaves a lot to be desired in this issue. Of course they were faced with only 13 original states but we will probably be faced with 51 states in the next election cycle as Puerto Rico gets ratified as a state. 

Who do you report voter fraud to? The FBI gave a phone number to report it to, but so far they have been extremely silent on the issue. The answer is obvious to me. Because the FBI and every other agency reports to the DOJ first and then to the Whitehouse indirectly, the inhabitant in the Oval Office is the last voice to whether the fraud gets investigated or not.

 

Past history of picking and choosing on what laws to enforce by way of the DOJ have shown to be dismal at best, criminal at worst. 

Nothing will ever happen from this voting fraud………we are the 47.6% that didn’t vote for him and as he said before the election……..”Vote for revenge!” 

Sad statement on our country when the President isn’t one for the people…..only a spokesperson for the Democratic Party.
