Ohio: Somali Voters, ACORN Tactics, and Voter Fraud Allegations
Within the Columbus Somali enclave there have been accusations that community organizers have been exaggerating their numbers in order to secure larger infusions of government cash and handouts. Farrah also spent time as a census specialist (the guy is everywhere) and has complained that the government is not counting all of the Somalis. Meanwhile, many in the state have complained about state-funded, Islamic-themed charter schools, where children (a majority of them Somalis) are taught in Arabic and CAIR board members call the shots. The schools have been given failing academic grades in recent years.

The SEIU also has its hooks in the Somali community. An SEIU Local 1 newsletter from last year appears to be written in the Somali language and shows pictures of Somalis in union garb campaigning against Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers. So it’s not surprising that poll observers reported seeing large groups of Somalis being hauled to the polling location in “union vans.” Recall Farah’s comment about how vulnerable members of the Somali community are: “Somebody can just change your mind and tell you if you blow yourself up and things…” Are union operatives pressuring Somalis to vote a certain way?
History often repeats itself. In 2010, a State House race in Missouri was decided by one vote. In the fallout of the requisite lawsuits, there were allegations that as many as 30 Somalis had been instructed to vote for certain candidates by their interpreters. One affidavit said:
That morning a group of three or four Somali adults came in to vote. None of the Somali’s were able to speak any English whatsoever. An adult male escorted them into the polling location. … The adult male stood over the women while they voted … instructing the women how to cast their vote and for whom to vote for.
Anyone know how to say “ACORN” in Somali?
It’s long past time to change federal election laws, at least insofar as an election can have a national impact. While states can and should be free to set their own rules with respect to electing their governors, state legislators, even their Washington delegations, I am tired of the shenanigans they get away with in their blatant attempts to steal Presidential elections. I should think that Congress could pass a law regarding elections for federal office which prohibit the type of six-weeks long early voting we have seen in some states this cycle, as well as mandating the circumstances under which one could vote absentee and ensuring that military deployed overseas are able to vote their federal ballots and have them received in their precincts by Election Day.
There’s a reason it’s called Election “DAY”. Our elections are far too important to permit the kind of namby-pamby free-for-alls that they have become.
About 12 years ago I saw with my own eyes a Mexican national who was working in the US illegally who procured himself a Registered Voter Card which back then he could use to go to Mexico and come back. That man was not a voter but he could easily vote today. Back then he was a resident of Albemarle County, Virginia. How he obtained the card, I don’t know but when I went to register –and I am an American citizen– the clerk recognized me and refused to let me have my card. I had to call a supervisor and raise a stink. Apparently the clerk recognized me as “one of those Conservatives”—Charlottesville is a small Liberal town after all. So, think underage, think foreigners, hobos, twice and thrice registered clones, and soon to come: robots!
This circus is called “the presidential elections”.
Why do we need this circus in all 50 states? Let’s have it only in the so-called swing states, and the rest of the country can just bet on it.
It will save a lot of money.
Mexico solved a lot of their voting problems by moving all federal elections to Sunday. So everyone has the day off and can vote anytime during the day while the polls are open.
So my suggestion is make federal general Election Day(s)(every two years) a federal holiday give everyone the day off. I agree with E4L, standardize the reasons one can vote absentee, and ensure deployed military personnel, contractors, and their families are provided their absentee ballots in time for them to complete them and return them to their precinct.
It’s not election fraud when Democrats do it!
Go back and do research the only party that commited sofar FRAUD anyway read this http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/breaking-nathan-sproul-employed-man-arrested-for-throwing-voter-registrations-in-dumpster/politics/2012/10/19/51637
“there is no proof of citizenship in OH”…
Of course not, there’s a Democrat as SecState there. He will certainly see that non-citizens dilute any conservative vote in Ohio…George Soros put him there to do so.
Actually, we have a Republican SOS. In fact, Republicans hold every statewide office and control both houses of the legislature. SOS Husted (who many say aspires to be the next governor) publicly opposed the photo ID law as it made it’s way through the legislature. It died shortly thereafter. The Dems were threatening a referendum to repeal it the minute the governor signed it, but still, surveys show most Americans support photo ID laws and Ohio’s was a particularly reasonable one, providing free ID’s to those who couldn’t afford them and not requiring them at all for absentee voting.
I would say your so-called Republican SoS is a Democrat mole.
Before you post any SOP and baseless comments, do some soul search i mean find the truth. Do you know the only people that went to jail because of election fraud afiliated to RepubliCons! Hmmmm or you do not want to hear or see the truth because that is where you belong RepubliCons”They will never tell you the truth only what they wanted you to hear. That is it” but WHY?

I added a key clip with George Bush about repeating the propaganda. Special thanks to Duncan Brown for the new video intro and Julian Machala for the original music.

Until you start addressing the massive election fraud/voter fraud under investigation by the FBI by that firm that just happens to share an address with that Karl Rove super pac, you come off as biased and not-exactly-credible. THE TRUTH IS THAT VOTER FRAUD AND INTIMIDATION THAT IS COMING TO LIGHT IN THIS ELECTION IS REPUBLICAN SPONSORED. To include papers connecting conservative candidates in Montana illegally coordinating with PAC’s in 2008-which would not have been found out if papers hadn’t been found in a meth-house?!
While conservatives often claim to be interested in stopping this illegal behavior even if their own side is responsible, the scale and absence of conservative coverage points to duplicity.
I agree completely=I remember the day when republicans actually made sense when they spoke. Now it’s all word salad. Amazing how far downhill my party of lincoln has fallen. One would ask=is it really about people voting, or about brown people voting that bothers these new republicans.
Racism and bigotry fuels the right and that is why they are losing all minorities including the Somalis who are socially for conservative but crap like this is why we stay away from the GOP with 10 feel pole. FYI 80% of the Somali community in Ohio are American Citizens who came here legally to begin with.!!!!!!!!
I am really saddened by today’s GOP base. They exude a stench of racism and bigotry. Somali Americans have the constitutional right or whatever to exercise to their free speech. No right-wing is talking about Cubans, Chinese or Russians voting in long lines.
Somalis are more socially conservative than the most conservative American Republican, but how can they share a tent with people who live in “Fringeland”.
No matter how fired up and passionate right-wing Republicans are, they are for sure a dwindling electorate. They better appeal to all Americans without bigotry, racism, slander, hate.
God bless the righteous.
At the risk of sounding completely rational, why shouldn’t there be some small proof of compos mentis as criteria for voting?
I mean, do you really want to put the fate of the country in the hands of someone who is unable to obtain any identification at all? In four years?
Not even a library card?
Is it too much to ask for a full face photo and maybe a thumb print?
Perhaps I have lived in Europe too long, but like most people here, I have a minimum of 4 photo IDs, and carry at least two at all times.
Here come the DNC trolls to deny the issue or lie outright about it.
