Breitbart- Big Government has the story:
Indiana State Police raided the offices of Indiana Voter Registration in downtown Indianapolis, a group run by longtime Democratic operative Craig Varoga.
The raid was part of an ongoing investigation which originally started in two counties and has now spread to nine: Hendricks, Marion, Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake, and Madison counties.
As TV station Fox 59 reports:
State police say an investigation of this nature is complex, time consuming and is expected to continue for several more weeks or months.
“Some people are having the incorrect names, with incorrect addresses, or the correct names with incorrect addresses, or the correct names with incorrect date of birth and that will come to play, if you go to vote, they’re not going to let you vote,” said ISP Sgt. Rich Myers.
Varoga claims this is a partisan driven investigation that will, (yah dah, yah dah, yah dah), disenfranchise blacks: “After all is said and done, when this partisan investigation finds no wrongdoing by the organization, Connie Lawson and the Indiana State Police will have prevented 45,000 African Americans from voting in this year’s elections. That is why today we reported their outrageous actions to the Department of Justice.”
But Varoga has a long activist history in Democrat politics including targeting of Tea Party groups. It will be interesting to see what this raid reveals.
Pretty simple to curb voter registration fraud: require proof of citizenship along with photo ID – just like you must when getting a passport.
And require that anyone benefiting from election fraud be required to resign their elected office.
AZ has a great law – anyone holding an elected office must first resign that office in order to campaign for a different office.
Sounds like voter suppression to me.
Reminds me of back when Enloe Hospital, Deukmejian, et al., tried to get the Chico Women’s Health shut down … and failed.
You know, these voter suppression laws and state police raids only stiffen people’s resolve.
Resolve to vote legally is a good thing.
Democrats have a history of cheating and voter fraud, a criminal act. They also have a history of support for illegal activity…the end justifies the mans.
Nothing is being done to suppress the voters. This is about protecting and validating ALL legal votes.
Yes, investigating voter fraud disenfranchises blacks. Bicycles are sexist. Barbecue is racist.
Really Libby give it a rest, Voter suppression, I don’t think so More like Voter fraud, where Election manipulation, electoral fraud or vote rigging would be a more apt description.
If your remembrance of the Deukmejian/Enloe issue where Governor budget cuts put a slow down to the procreation of abortion promoting clinics, I am sure you remembered your parties own Senate Pro Tem David Roberti stating that this was likely caused by “family planning program” brought the budget cut on itself.
As I recall even Roberti claimed that the clinics have encouraged abortions.
But I am sure you meant to include that point as well, so that your statement about Deukmejian was not just another Liberal misinformation type of spin, that is what you intended isn’t it?
Lippy is a goosestepping useful idiot. This is as good as it will ever get.
By what logic does a perfectly above-board, Democratic operation in Indiana, organizing to get out the vote, that gets raided and padlocked by the state government, a week before the election, not stink of voter suppression?
You know, a similar thing happened to Amnesty International in Moscow this week.
Real creepy-doodle.
Did they ever track down the cause of that mysterious internet outage a week or two ago? How much you wanna bet we have something like that happen next Tuesday?
More creepy-doodle.
By the simple logic that the state police must have quite a bit of solid evidence to get permission to raid the registrars headquarters!
No, no, no … raids are for gathering evidence … ostensibly … sometimes, though, they are only for being disruptive. All you need for permission is for somebody marginally credible, like a Republican county operative, to make assertions in an affidavit, and for the Republican county judge to go along with it.
This is not a perfect system we got going here.
“The raid was part of an ongoing investigation which originally started in two counties and has now spread to nine”
Something more than a “republican accusation” is going on. The police get involved when citizens report to them. (Like those California ballots delivered to a single address with 85 different names attached to them…85! Can you imagine 85 people living at the same address? Of course not…highly suspicious…worth investigating)
I’m happy that someone is at least paying attention and following through. There is a strong need to discourage this type of activity that we know has gone on for many moons.
So, I see a report that a voting machine at a local precinct changed the vote(s) of a voter. Precinct officials are called over and correct the problem, stating that the voting machine just needed to be “re-set”.
Blink, blink.
That’s it? Really?
How the he77 did the machine get “un-set” in the first place?
What guarantee is there that it will stay re-set?
What about the previous voter(s)?
What about the next voter(s)?
What about the rest of the machines in that polling place?
Why wasn’t the entire polling place locked down until all the machines are checked and re-certified?
Sleep soundly, America. Or not.
