Stanly Hall Last Night

Last night the CCTA (Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association) held their monthly meeting at Stanly Hall in downtown New Bern, North Carolina. The meeting was a forum on voter integrity. The featured speaker of the night was Jay Delancy of the Voter Integrity Project. Jay brought us up to date on some of the issues in North Carolina involving voter fraud.

There was also a question and answer section of the meeting with questions directed at a panel consisting of Senator Norm Sanderson, Representative Michael Speciale, Representative Keith Kidwell, Meloni Wray, Director of the Craven County Board of Elections, and Caitlin Sabadish, Director of the Carteret Board of Elections. The legislators explained some of the changes to election laws during the recent legislative session.

Voter integrity is going to be an issue in the upcoming election. Please visit the site linked above to learn more about the issue.

 

Dead Voters In North Carolina

A group called the Voter Integrity Project of North Carolina has done a ‘citizen audit’ of the North Carolina voter roles and found 30,000 dead registered voters.

The group’s website reports:

The group decided to conduct their audit of the voter rolls amid concerns about how well the State maintains the voter rolls. While they have not completed the full report, the group is still analyzing the actual cases of deceased persons who may have had votes cast in their names after having already died.

“It’s pretty clear that a few of those cases involved clerical errors on a busy election day,” DeLancy said, “but others look a lot like identity theft at the ballot box. Either way, we will need to review each one very carefully.”

The research almost ground to a halt when the group learned that some of the names on the list were from out-of-state deaths and are considered “unofficial,” even though the deaths were all reported through official government channels.

“It would seem normal for all states to share their death records with their out-of-state counterpart agencies,” said John Pizzo, Director of Research for VIP-NC, “but we were floored when North Carolina’s Registrar told us that South Carolina and Virginia have laws explicitly prohibiting the use of their mortality information for voter roll maintenance. Imagine that! We can use it for issues like corporate ownership and taxation, but not for taking dead people off the voter rolls!”

As the election approaches, we need to remember that voter fraud is an issue. In 2006, George Soros funded the Secretary of State Project (see Investors.com for further information). Generally speaking, the idea was to make sure the Secretary of State in every state (particularly in swing states) would make decisions that would support Democrat victories in elections. The stubborn refusal of many states (often abetted by the Obama Department of Justice) to verify their voting roles is part of that idea.

All states need to do a better job of maintaining their voting roles so that every American’s vote is counted once.
