[WashingtonTimes] Melowese Richardson is the poster girl for vote fraud. The Ohio poll worker was sentenced last July to five years in prison after being convicted of voting twice in the 2012 election and voting three times -- in 2008, 2011 and 2012 -- in the name of her sister, in a coma since 2003, according to USA Today.
This might be below reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... graveyard standards, but it's still impressive.

One would expect the battleground states/swing states such Ohio and Pennsylvania would be ripe for voter fraud. An old Hungarian adage attribute to Stalin is: "Its not who votes that counts, its who counts the votes." It turns out that both are important in the scheme of voter fraud and voter suppression. The Columbus Dispatch recently had an article regarding the potential for voter fraud. Columbus Dispatch.

But fewer than previously, JohnQC. Also from your very good article:
Since taking office in January 2011, Husted has removed the names of more than 150,000 dead voters as well as hundreds of thousands of duplicate registrations, Ostrowski said. The state now gets access to records for Ohioans who die outside the state; previously, they saw only in-state death records.
[Ynet] If the rise of brownshirt tactics and anti-Semitism on US campuses goes on at its current pace, it will destroy higher education in the United States.
Jill Schneiderman is an unlikely warrior for Jewish rights. A professor of Earth sciences at Vassar College and a lesbian activist, Schneiderman's political passions put her smack in the middle of the far-Left academic mainstream.
At least they did until she decided to organize a student trip to Israel to study water issues.
To get a sense of just how far to the Left Schneiderman is, when her initiative ran into trouble, she contacted fanatic anti-Israel activist Phillip Weiss to ask for his support. Hers was not going to be a ZOA student mission to Israel.
Scheiderman needed help, because when the Vassar chapter of the anti-Semitic hate group, Students for Justice in Palestine, got wind of her initiative, their members began picketing her pre-trip seminar. They stood outside the classroom and pressured students to drop the class.
Spooked by this thuggish behavior, Schneiderman complained to the college's administrators and sought redress for her students whose academic freedom and civil rights were being obstructed.
In response to her complaint, earlier this month the administration convened a meeting of the school's Committee on Inclusion and Excellence. Rather than take action against the thugs from the SJP, both the members of the committee and the audience quickly joined forces with them and doubled down on their assault against all even mildly pro-Israel voices on campus.
As Scheneiderman wrote on her blog, at the meeting she was "knocked off-center by a belligerent academic community dedicated to vilifying anyone who dares set foot in Israel."
Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas...
Weiss wrote of the meeting, "The spirit of that young progressive space was that Israel is a blot on civilization, and boycott is right and necessary. If a student had gotten up and said, I love Israel, he or she would have been mocked and scorned into silence."
Weiss is pleased with the air of intimidation. As he sees it, this is the whole point of the so called boycott, sanctions, and divestment movement that calls for institutions to boycott businesses that do business with Jews in Israel. As Weiss explained, the real purpose of the BDS movement in all its component parts is to make it impossible to voice any sentiment in relation to the Middle East on college campuses that isn't anti-Israel.
And the brownshirts at Vassar are from a unique phenomenon.
As Scheiderman and her students were being intimidated for daring to study about and plan travel to Israel, members of the University of Michigan's student government voted to indefinitely suspend debate on a resolution submitted by an anti-Jewish campus group that called for the university to boycott and divest from companies that do business with the Jewish state.
The anti-Jewish goons behind the resolution hail from an organization that ironically refers to itself as SAFE, an acronym for Students Allied for Freedom and Equality. They responded to the student government's decision with rage and violence. They staged sit-ins at the student government, where they cursed Jewish members of the council, calling them "dirty Jew" and "kike." According to The Washington Free Beacon, some students received death threats from the anti-Jewish activists.
According to the Free Beacon, rather than defend its students from these criminal assaults and protect their civil rights, university administrators forced the head of the student government to apologize to the aggressors from SAFE for voting to table the anti-Israel resolution. They also reportedly compelled the student government to hold an immediate vote on the measure.
As one Jewish leader told the Free Beacon ahead of the vote, "University administrators are allowing students to be bullied into taking an anti-Israel vote with a gun pointed to their heads."
That's because the administrators agree with the BDS crowd...
And he was not exaggerating. The anti-Jewish protesters are open in their embrace of violence.
In January, Yazan Kherallah, who serves as SAFE's "divestment coordinator," posted a photo of himself on his Facebook page. In the picture, titled, "It's on," Kherallah's face is covered in a khafiyyeh and he is stabbing a pineapple.
Speaking to the Free Beacon, Kenneth Marcus, the former staff director for the US Civil Rights Commission who now heads the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, explained that by not protecting its students from anti-Semitic harassment and threats of violence, the University of Michigan is exposing itself to civil litigation for civil rights violations and to federal investigation.
Not that our current Attorney General will do anything about it...
Marcus explained, "If the university allows a hostile environment to form without taking effective action, it could be liable for a civil lawsuit or federal investigation....If Jewish students are being called 'kike' and 'dirty Jew' and the university is not addressing it in a firm and effective way, the university may be liable under federal law."
And this is really the point. As Weiss made clear, brownshirt tactics are the new norm for anti-Semitic activists on college campuses. Indeed, he said that the movement to silence pro-Israel voices on US college campuses is where the "progressive" movement is going these days.
This is not only a Jewish problem. If the rise of brownshirt tactics and anti-Semitism on US campuses goes on at its current pace, it will destroy higher education in the United States.
Anti-Semitism is predicated and can only survive and grow in an atmosphere in which reason is rejected. Brownshirt tactics are designed to replace reasoned discussion with intimidation and violence. And when violence and unreasoning hatred reign, there is no learning. Hence the threat to the entire university system.
Unfortunately, the administrators at too many universities do not seem to care. The only instances where university administrators have taken action against anti-Semites on their campuses have been when outside forces compelled them to do so. And in all cases where action has been taken, administrators have done as little as possible.
These instances, and the steps that led up to them must become the basis for developing a general plan for stemming the rise of anti-Semitism on US campuses.
Two recent examples illustrate the general trajectory of successful action.
Last February, Brooklyn College held a BDS event that was co-sponsored by the college and Students for Justice in Palestine. Four Jewish students who attended the event were forcibly removed by campus police acting on orders from the event organizers, who identified the four as potential sources of pointed questions that the BDS advocates could not answer well.
Rather than defend the students, Brooklyn College's administrators attacked them and endorsed SJP's transparently false claim that the four -- who had been sitting quietly -- had been "disruptive."
Three of the students turned to the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and the Brandeis Center for Human Rights for legal assistance. And as a result of legal pressure, City University of New York, of which Brooklyn College is a part, conducted an investigation that found the students had been persecuted for their viewpoints, in violation of their civil rights. On March 10, Brooklyn College's president issued a public apology to the four Jewish students. She also promised to institute new procedures to ensure that students' civil rights are respected.
Proof's in the pudding. Let's see what happens next time at Brooklyn College...

Remember when der Fuerer drove an armed column of SS up the mountain to that hotel full of homosexual SA on a confab together ( very together)...and whatever happened to those guys?
Who ran the SA in those days..a guy named Stern? Was that it?
A funny little fat guy with a small mustache and boots..( they all looked so much alike really ) you remember him. Liked to get behind naked fat boys and use his swagger stichk. Yeah, that guy.

So what should be done with these thugs? Seems to me as though it's time to appeal to the non-academic authorities. Let's see some pro-Israel marches reminiscent of MLK. Take good pictures and sue the ass off the thugs in Federal or State court.

Philistines, Hitites, Ammonites and Nazi Germany, once anti-Israel, or any other people once firmly anti-Israel would fight to the death before coming on board. Now the US has many of the savages.

a university that allows and encourages a climate of hate and discrimination shouldn't be allowed federal funds, no? Sue 'em

Use the Holder DoJ standard of evidence (as in sexual assault on campuses) - preponderance of evidence rather than 'beyond a reasonable doubt' aka Guilty till Proven Innocent.
However, given that Christians are now being officially prosecuted for their fundamental beliefs, one can expect that Holder and Co give a crap about antisemitism from among their party members as well.

The "progressive" movement went nuts over a decade ago, and events like this are showing results as they play out over time.
Bolshevism has simply moved from the carcass of the USSR to US universities, like plague fleas.

Nice re-writing of history to make hitler look pro-capitalist!
Well it IS Wikipedia, BP, where trolling leftist editors run rampant.

Free speech has been shut down on campuses using the tool of the radical left, political correctness." When does the book burning begin? The way to correct this trend on major state-funded universities is through the purse strings of state government--providing those purse strings are not also controlled by the radical left.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
