-Lurid Crime Tales-
More Than 7 Million Voter Registrations Are Duplicated in Multiple States
[FreeBeacon] More than 7 million voter registrations appear to be registered in two states simultaneously, according to data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The new voter data was gathered from the Kansas-run interstate voter registration crosscheck program, which is used to identify "possible duplicate registrations among states."

The program began in December 2005 and conducted its first crosscheck in 2006. It is administered by the office of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who was tapped recently to help lead President Trump's voter fraud commission.
That sound you hear is a million demoncratic sphincters slamming shut
The newest data is from crosschecks of voter registrations across 28 states that participate in the program. At least 7.2 million registrations appeared in two states at once, according to the data.

Georgia (660,708), North Carolina (561,811), and Illinois (542,065) lead the 28 states studied in potential duplicated voter registrations across state lines.

The study shows that more than 916,000 people appear to be registered multiple times within their state of residence. North Carolina accounts for 90 percent of potential intrastate duplicates.
Definitely enough to tip the balance of an election
There was a big Democrat-pushed registration effort in North Carolina before the last election, as I recall. People came in from across the country to help...
Nearly 68,000 registered voters across the 28 states had "invalid" dates of birth, a category that include missing, incomplete, or placeholder birth dates, which can reflect older records before dates of birth were kept on file.

The program also found 32,000 registered voters who appeared to have invalid Social Security Numbers tied to their voter records, which can result either from clerical mistakes or fraud.

The new data remains virtually unchanged from a 2014 study conducted by the secretary of state's office, when 7.3 million voters were registered in more than one state.

President Trump signed an executive order on May 11 establishing a commission to investigate voter fraud in the United States that will be led by Vice President Mike Pence and Kobach.

The commission, which will study "vulnerabilities" in the voting system and look at voter suppression and fraud in terms of registration and actual voting, will meet for the first time this summer and present its findings in 2018.

Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a group that litigates to protect election integrity, said the most recent data from the Kansas interstate crosscheck program serves as a foundation for the commission.

"This is foundational data the Trump election integrity commission needs to assess how well voter rolls are being maintained for a society that is increasingly mobile," Churchwell told the Washington Free Beacon. "Academics and activists attacking this commission are accessories to fraud and mismanagement of voter rolls."
And those activists and commission fucks are all demoncrat too.
ID to vote; when and where you voted is recorded. Multiple entries leads to instant execution. Problem solved.

#4  A guy like Trump and many other wealthy people have domiciles in more than one state. They should only be allowed to vote for one President. Should they be able to vote in more than one State election and also in local elections? Should they be able to vote for U.S. Senators, say in Florida as well as George if they maintain homes in each state?

#5  Easy to fix. If they are registered to vote in your state, make sure they have to file a tax return.
Posted by: Iblis || 05/20/2017 12:42 Comments || Top||

#6  Some states have no income tax. Almost all the states have property tax. Then we get the 'taxation without representation' line. So, being able to own property in two or more states makes you entitled to vote more than once? Poor hit hardest!

Huma Abedin finally files for divorce from Carlos Danger
[NYPOST] Huma Abedin filed for divorce Friday from disgraced perv hubby Anthony Weiner — the same day he pleaded guilty to sexting with a minor. Abedin brought an “Anonymous vs. Anonymous” action in Manhattan Supreme Court, asking for the court to seal the case.

#1  The marriage always seemed to be a marriage of convenience. Human has connections to the MWL and the MB through her family's publication, the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The family receives cover from Media Matters, a Soros-funded organization, the Clintons, and some RINO congressmen.

Anthony Weiner will probably receive somewhere around a two-year sentence for sexting a 15-yr old girl according to published information. Strange but a Secret Service officer who sexted underage girls while on duty at the WH received a 20-yr sentence for the same offense earlier in the week.

Bob Beckel Fired by Fox News for ‘Making Insensitive Remark to an African-American’ Staffer
[MEDIAITE] Beckel has always been something of a loose cannon on live television, perhaps best evidenced by the now poignant “fuck off” during a stint on a 2012 episode of Hannity.

#3  Fox is going to have to install a revolving door just for Beckel.
Posted by: JohnQC || 05/20/2017 9:11 Comments || Top||

#4  He became more dickish after Eric Bolling left, especially to Jesse Watters. I assume Beckel thought himself more qualified for the center seat, and his sourness at not getting bled through.

The Missus swears he was "TUI" a few times towards the end.

Lindsey Graham: I Have Reason to Believe Clinton Camp and DOJ Colluded on Hillary Email Investigation
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] “I don’t know what caused the appointment. I haven’t seen any evidence of a crime yet. The bottom line is I respect the decision, but this pretty much shuts Congress down. Democrats, you got what you wanted. You got a special counsel. Now we’ll just move on. We’re not prosecutors.”

“There’s a new front opening here. I have reason to believe that there are emails between Clinton campaign officials, democratic operatives to the Department of Justice regarding the Clinton email investigation that happened on Obama’s watch. I have reason to believe those emails exist.

I’m on the Judiciary Committee. And I think it’s important that the Judiciary Committee be given any emails that were directed to the Department of Justice by Clinton campaign officials or operatives because we have jurisdiction over the Department of Justice.”

#3  Graham's a little late in making the announcement but better late than never. Maybe the narrative will switch away from the fake Russian scandal to the real scandal that got covered up in the last admin. by Obama's DOJ; there's real criminality in the latter.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D) Gives Media Pep Talk: ‘This Is Your Moment...We Cannot Afford to Lose This One’
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] While speaking to news hounds Friday morning at the U.S. Capitol, liberal Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings
...Representative-for-life from Maryland, representing half of Baltimore City, which makes his district ultra-safe, and most of Howard County, which is out-populated by the city. Cummings' politix are so liberal they're tedious...
(Md.) gave his fellow lefties a pep talk and marching orders, telling them that "this is your moment" and "we cannot afford to lose" this fight for America (against President Trump and his supporters).

Cummings spoke following a briefing from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on the firing of FBI Director James Comey and, prior to his mini-speech, complained about the firing having "turned into a mess" and applauded Robert Mueller’s appointment as special counsel on the Russia investigation.


He thanked news hounds and began walking away, but turned back to the media stakeout to inform his fans that "if there is any moment that the press in our country's history has a major role, it is this moment."

"This is your moment. You have got to put it out there so people can understand what is going on. I have said it before and I'll say it again, this is about the fight for the soul of our democracy. We cannot afford to lose this one. Thank you very much," Cummings concluded.
