We’re told by the left that voter fraud doesn’t happen. Except, apparently, when it does.
Deisy Penton de Cabrera, 56, was charged with absentee-ballot fraud, a third-degree felony, and two misdemeanor counts of violating a county ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone to possess more than two ballots belonging to other voters. Investigators suspect Cabrera, a ballot broker known in Spanish as a boletera, of illegally collecting at least 31 absentee ballots.
Police detectives followed Cabrera over two days last week. On July 24, according to an arrest affidavit unsealed Thursday, she dropped off 19 absentee ballots at a Hialeah post office.
The next day, detectives followed Cabrera into a nursing home, where she went into the room of a woman identified by police as Z.G. The officers overheard Cabrera telling Z.G. that she was sent there by the woman’s sister to get her signature. A few minutes later, Cabrera left.
When the detectives went into the room to speak to Z.G., they found she was unresponsive. The detective said hello and waved to Z.G., whose eyes were open, the warrant says, “but she [stared] off into space and did not respond to the greeting.”
Cabrera then visited five more assistant-living facilities before police stopped her and found 12 absentee ballots in her possession. They also detained and questioned Matilde M. Rendueles, the woman driving Cabrera around in a red Toyota Corolla. (Rendueles had earlier been identified in reports as Matilde Martinez.)
Detectives visited the unresponsive woman at the nursing home two more times, according to the warrant. They also interviewed Z.G.’s sisters, one of whom said the woman is terminally ill and “cannot write, comprehend or communicate.”
This broker surely is not the only one trolling America’s assisted living facilities, casting votes on behalf of defenseless people who cannot stop them. A slew of these ballot brokers were busted in the Texas Rio Grande Valley a few years back. Those cases played a big role in the drive to enact voter photo ID. Those cases had nothing to do with assisted living facilities, though, the brokers were working on behalf of Democrat machine candidates in the area and making sure that they had enough ballots on hand to win their primary elections.
Pursuing and prosecuting these criminals, unfortunately, often depends on having local elected officials who believe in protecting the integrity of elections. And one party, the Democrats, have publicly declared that protecting election integrity is the last thing they want to do.
There was also some kind of fraud going on in Virginia. Someone sent around voter information requests to hundreds of thousands of people in the state. My mother may have gotten one though I did not. I haven’t seen much about it in the news aside from that it was some manner of fraud.
There is no way these women decided on their own to just drive around and collect absentee ballots at nursing homes from people in a vegetative state. Someone is paying them. They need to get the bigger fish too. Start by looking at phone records.
You need a clip of Brian Donlevy voting 37 times from the beginning of The Great McGinty.
It isn’t the dark red states you have to worry about; they actually prosecute this stuff. It’s the purple states with strong donkey penetration into government operations where this is, for all practical intents, legal. I’m sure this is rampant and essentially legal in places like PA, OH, MI, and VA. Of course, it’s also essentially legal in the blue states, but that won’t affect the presidential outcome.
It’s highly dependent on location. I can’t speak for the Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo areas, but here in the Cincinnati suburbs I contacted the county board of elections after a story about fraudulent registrations in Cincinnati in 2004. As I recall, there were a few hundred in Hamilton county (downtown Cincinnati) that were returned as undeliverable, all connected with ACORN — and who knows how many got delivered.
In my county? One.
They don’t really have to here in Toledo, which is reliably Democrat, heavily union. Now, violating the distance to the polling machine (voter intimidation), that’s another story.
