Democrat confirms rampant voter fraud

Democrats long have labeled voter fraud in the United States a myth or such a rare occurence that it's not an issue.

But now one of their own has blown the whistle.

Project Veritas and its founder, James O'Keefe, have released an undercover video of Alan Schulkin, the New York Democratic commissioner of the Board of Elections, confirming there is widespread fraud.

In the video, he is heard disclosing that organizers use buses to haul people from poll to poll to vote.

"Yeah, they should ask for your ID. I think there is a lot of voter fraud," he said in the video that was recorded some months ago.

Inside sources also have revealed that O'Keefe is planning to release more results of his explosive undercover investigation exposing fraud and corruption at the highest levels among operatives close to the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton.

It is rumored that O'Keefe managed to infiltrate the Democrats' "smoke-filled rooms" with a hidden camera showing their conspiracy to rig the election and other important issues. He plans to release what he found between now and Election Day.

Schuklin's comments included, "You know, I don't think it’s too much to ask somebody to show some kind of an ID. … Like I say, people don't realize, certain neighborhoods in particular they bus people around to vote."

He blamed New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio for part of the headache.

"He gave out ID cards. De Blasio. That's in lieu of a driver's license, but you can use it for anything. But, they didn't vet people to see who they really are. Anybody can go in there and say I am Joe Smith, I want an ID card. It's absurd. There's a lot of fraud. Not just voter fraud, all kinds of fraud."

WND reported in July that activists were gearing up to try to take down voter ID laws before November's election in states such as Missouri, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Texas and North Dakota.

The most common argument is that voter ID laws would disenfranchise certain groups of people, including racial minorities, the poor and younger voters.

But Daniel Horowitz, a senior editor at Conservative Review, believes the opposition is an example of the left's tendency to twist the concept of rights in order to grant special privileges to protected classes of individuals at the expense of the rest of the population.

"They're basically saying that there is a mandate, a right for an individual to vote fraudulently and thereby strip rights away from everyone else," Horowitz told WND in an interview.

Horowitz details the many ways American voters are being disenfranchised in his new book, "Stolen Sovereignty: How to Stop Unelected Judges From Transforming America." Although he did not discuss voter ID laws in the book, he said attacks on such laws are part of the left-wing effort to disenfranchise Americans who have a legitimate right to vote.

"It ties in to the general sense of them refusing to adopt basic bedrock regulations to illegal immigrants voting, having illegal immigrants come here and getting citizenship for their children," Horowitz said. "It's a disenfranchising of the public, diluting what it means to be an American. Diluting the franchise really undercuts the guaranteed liberty that we all have to vote in elections."

Matthew Vadum, senior vice president at the investigative think tank Capital Research Center, agreed with Horowitz about liberals' true motive for opposing voter ID.

"It makes it harder for them to cheat," Vadum told WND. "There's no rational reason to oppose voter ID requirements."

Vadum, author of "Subversion, Inc.," noted even Mexico makes voters get a special ID card to vote. He said he's not advocating that for the United States, but the requirement in many states that voters show a photo ID to prove they are eligible to vote does not strike him as an unreasonable request.

"Anyone who wouldn't be willing to prove that isn't a citizen," Vadum declared. "They're trying to commit fraud, either by voting a second or third or fourth or fifth time, or by voting under false pretenses or using someone else's identity, and so on. Voter ID nips voting fraud in the bud."

Vadum said there are myriad left-wing pressure groups behind the effort to dismantle voter ID laws, including Project Vote, Demos, People for the American Way, Campaign for America's Future and all of the ACORN successor groups.

"ACORN itself doesn’t exist anymore, but many of its state organizations have incorporated themselves under new names, like in California, one of the bigger successor groups is Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, or ACCE," Vadum explained. "So they're quite active in fighting electoral integrity measures."

After the 2012 presidential election, WND released its Big List of Vote Fraud Reports, recounting the 59 Philadelphia precincts in which Mitt Romney received zero votes compared to Obama’s 19,605. And the Cleveland precinct in which Obama beat Romney 542 to 0. (Romney received zero votes in nine Cleveland precincts.) And that’s just the beginning.

Among the reports from that election:

The Market Daily News reported on the 100 precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, that on election day gave Romney zero votes while Obama got 99 percent. "In more than 50 different precincts, Romney received two votes or less," the report said. "One would think that such improbable results would get the attention of somebody out there."

According to Philly.com, 59 voting divisions in Philadelphia produced a "head-spinning figure," not one vote for Romney. "The unanimous support for Obama in these Philadelphia neighborhoods – clustered in almost exclusively black sections of West and North Philadelphia – fertilizes fears of fraud, despite little hard evidence," the newspaper said.

A poll watcher told WND up to 10 percent of the ballots cast at a polling station in Pennsylvania reverted to a default, which gave Barack Obama a vote no matter who the voter had selected. The incident took place in the state where officials claimed Obama got a total of 19,605 votes in 59 voting divisions to zero for Mitt Romney and not far from the 100 precincts in Ohio where Obama got 99 percent of the vote, a feat not even achieved by third-world dictators. It was in Upper Macungie Township, near Allentown, Pa., where an auditor, Robert Ashcroft, was dispatched by Republicans to monitor the vote on Election Day. He said the software he observed would "change the selection back to default – to Obama."
