JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- The woman named "Democrat of The Year" this year by the Jefferson County Democratic Party has been convicted of felony theft by a Jefferson County jury for stealing from a developmentally disabled 71-year-old woman.
Estelle, it's easier to be a consultant for SSDI and take the money that way...
On Thursday, a jury convicted 66-year-old Estelle Carson of felony identify theft and felony theft from an at risk adult for stealing checks from the woman and using them to pay her own cable, cell phone and internet bills.
Estelle wasn't convicted of theft, she was convicted for thinking small...
The victim is partially blind, developmentally disabled, has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. She is on a fixed income of $596 per month according to the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.
I'll bet Estelle had the victim vote about elebenteen times as well...
Nearly as bothersome as the theft itself to Maxwell and other supporters of the victim, is the fact the Jefferson County Democratic Party was made aware of the ongoing criminal investigation and honored Carson anyway.
ACORN was considering a bronze bust, I hear...
According to documents obtained by CBS4, in November of 2011, the Jeffco Democratic Party announced it planned to honor Carson for her activism on behalf of Democratic causes and her efforts to register voters.
And you thinking I'm joking about voting elebenteen times...

WOW the JC Demo Party actually chose someone with the perfect Demo skills and attitude for their award!!
[Denver Post] Abound Solar, the defunct solar-panel manufacturer, is under criminal investigation for possible securities fraud, consumer fraud and financial misrepresentation, the Weld County district attorney's office said Thursday.
Loveland-based Abound closed its Colorado plant in July and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in a move that left 125 workers without jobs and taxpayers holding the bag for up to $60 million in defaulted loans.
The DA's office said no criminal charges have been filed.
Weld County officials confirmed the existence of an investigation to The Denver Post last week, but Thursday's announcement provided more detail on the nature of the investigation.
The securities-fraud investigation stems from allegations that "officials at Abound Solar knew products the company was selling were defective, and then asked investors to invest in the company without telling them about the defective products," the DA's office said in a news release.
Similarly, the consumer-fraud allegation is that Abound knowingly sold defective panels to customers.

Yes, this is another green job Obama screw up which was highly touted by the Denver Post when it was started up. Praise of Obama went on for weeks and the chanting in Boulder could be heard in conservative villas in the mountains.

And the oil and gas drilling jobs went north to the Bakken field...CO is a swing state and while the Front Range is lib, the rural areas are conservative. All is not lost, just the hopey changey thing.

I don't imagine Franklin Co., OH is a place they would be watching; http://www.humanevents.com/2012/10/26/is-voter-fraud-being-committed-in-ohio/
Somalis who cannot speak English come to the (Franklin Co., OH) polling center. They are brought in groups, by van or bus. The Democrats hand them a slate card and say, vote Brown all the way down.
Non-English speaking voters may use an interpreter. The interpreters are permitted by law to interpret for the individual voting; however, they are forbidden from influencing their vote in any way.
(When did the requirement of ability to speak English to become a citizen end?)
A Mitt Romney bus stopped near the voting center, approximately 30 Democrats who were outside handing out the slate cards rushed over to the bus. They yelled at the bus, and swarmed around its door when anyone attempted to exit the bus.

We talked about this yesterday.
1) Not U.N. Observers, but OSCE Observers
2) Observers, not controllers with any power
3) OSCE also sent election observers to the German elections of 2009. Nobody has a problem with that.
4) The OSCE boss praised the last two U.S. elections.

Frank, the liberal Democrat groups haven't studied the role of OSCE observers very well.
They will only come if invited by someone. Actually George Buch personally invited OSCE observers to attend the last two US elections. The OSCE had no complaint to file (or whatever they noted were very minor issues).
I don't think this will change this time. OSCE observers are held to strict non-partisanship. Those Democrat groups might be very disappointed.

I also went out and read their reports on 2004 and 2008.
Their main beef seems to be that felons aren't allowed to vote in most states. For the observers, it sounds like it was a nice vacation in a non third world hellhole on the OSCE's dime.

#14 - most rights (including voting rights) can be petitioned to be restored based on behavior, original crime, etc. It's hard to do that when you keep committing felonies. Recidivism should be a roadblock to voting Democrat

#14 I'd have some beef with those felony rules, too, especially because (e.g. Florida) felons are barred from voting even long after time served.
We have a legal process in most (or all) states whereby voter rights can be restored after a felony conviction.
#19
After sentence is completed and some period of time without further crime elapses. Sometimes this process is automatic for first time offenders dependending upon the type of crime. In other places, it is a formal process where the process occurs through the courts. In other states, a direct appeal to the Governor or President is made for a pardon.
[CNS NEWS] In a blog on the Department of Homeland Security website, Secretary Janet Napolitano said her department is working to develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity beginning in kindergarten.
In a blog titled, "Inspiring the Next Generation of Cyber Professionals," Napolitano said, "In addition, we are extending the scope of cyber education beyond the federal workplace through the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, involving students from kindergarten through post-graduate school."
"At DHS, we're working to develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity while fostering an environment for talented staff to grow in this field. We are building strong cybersecurity career paths within the Department, and in partnership with other government agencies," the secretary said.
DHS also sponsors the U.S. Cyber Challenge, she said, "a program that works with academia and the private sector to identify and develop the best and brightest cyber talent to meet our nation's growing and changing security needs."

[HUMAN EVENTS] COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Two volunteer poll workers at an Ohio voting station told Human Events that they observed van loads of Ohio residents born in Somalia -- the state is home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States -- being driven to the voting station and guided by Democratic interpreters on the voting process. No Republican interpreters were present, according to these volunteers.
While it's not unusual for get-out-the-vote groups to help voters get to the polls, the volunteers who talked to Human Events observed a number of troubling and questionable activities.
A source, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a volunteer outside the Morse Road polling center. She has witnessed Somalis who cannot speak English come to the polling center. They are brought in groups, by van or bus. The Democrats hand them a slate card and say, "vote Brown all the way down." Given that Sherrod Brown is the incumbent Democrat Senator in Ohio, one can assume that this is the reference.
Non-English speaking voters may use an interpreter. The interpreters are permitted by law to interpret for the individual voting; however, they are forbidden from influencing their vote in any way. Another source who also wishes to remain anonymous has seen Democrat interpreters show the non-English speaking Somalis how to vote the Democrat slate that they were handed outside. According to this second source, there are not any Republican Somali interpreters available.

Busloads of illegal voters in Ohio (just like in the Wisconsin recall elections).
Ballots vanishing in a crash and fire for military folks.
Voting machines registering Obama when you attempt to vote Romney in at least 2 states.
Top Democrat officials caught on video explaining how to commit mass voter fraud.
The question is not IS voter fraud being committed in Ohio, it's how MUCH voter fraud is being committed in Ohio - and the rest of the country.
These are not isolated incidents - just like with roaches, if you see one when you turn the light on, how many more are there where you cannot see them?
Our country has become a banana republic, complete with a posturing leader, fake elections, and a tame state Media.

Technically yes, but all you have to be able to do is mouth the words of a pre-determined text in something resembling English. Not sure if they give you a karaoke machine to do it with.

The White House is weighing the idea of a tax cut that it believes would lift Americans' take-home pay and boost a still-struggling economy, according to people familiar with the administration's thinking, as the presidential candidates continue battling over whose tax policies would do more for the country. But the evil Romney will only cut taxes for the rich! He can propose a new tax cut in the last week of October, huh? Wonder what the shelf life will be for that if Champ manages to win...
Any new tax cut would require congressional approval after the election. Administration officials have said in the past that the payroll tax cut should be allowed to expire at the end of the year, and the White House has not said publicly whether it is considering an alternative.

-toot toot-
[The Hill] The head of the House Democratic campaign arm this week proposed a constitutional amendment that would give the winner of the popular vote in the presidential race an additional 29 electoral votes.
Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) did not offer an explanation in the joint resolution filed in the House for why he was proposing to change the way elections in the U.S. are decided.
Under the Constitution, the candidate who wins at least 270 electoral votes wins the presidency, regardless of the popular vote.
The prospect of a split between the popular vote and the Electoral College usually provokes cries of abolishing the Electoral College completely, but rather than simplifying the process, Israel's resolution would add an additional level of intrigue to the electoral puzzle.
Swing states would retain their importance in the Electoral College, but the additional 29 delegates awarded to the popular-vote winner would fundamentally alter the focus of the campaigns. Candidates would have to target voters in states they have no chance of winning, as well as in states they have no chance of losing.

Since there it is conceivable to have a tie in the electoral college I would have no problem with the popular-vote then gaining the win. Otherwise I don't think so and I think in a week or two a lot of Dems will agree with me.
#3
Amendment Smendment. If the prohibition, and repeal, went through the process then the health care act should have. Why forcing people/companies to purchase health insurance is not a form of Unfree Labor is beyond me.
#4
Twenty nine votes, eh? Interesting to see the math behind that. I suspect that number is designed to fix certain imbalances in the current election demographics. Did I say 'fix'? I meant skew.
#5
Don't buy into this, a Constitutional Amendment of the US Constitution, and 66% of the States agreeing; ? The State legislatures decide who is named elector by vote, with the Governors deciding the ultimate make-up of the electors based upon the popular vote. No chance for this election nor any other in the future.

So why have states? A dozen + major metro areas will run the country which will, as we've seen, loot the suburbs and rural areas to feed their unending resource needs.
The Electoral College was a compromise between big states and small states to prohibit a few large states, with large populations, from basically taking over, giving substantial fodder to their opponents.
The depth of the historical illiteracy of our Congresscritters never ceases to amazes me. They all should have to take a test before the elections, not to preclude, but to amply demonstrate their ignorance.

I have a better way to 'fix' the problem: have every state divvy up their Electoral College votes the same way Maine and Nebraska do.
They do it by giving one vote to the candidate per congressional district won, and the two overall votes to the winner of the state.
So California, currently 55 votes, goes to Obama since he'll win the state 55%-45% by popular vote. But if you did it by district, Romney might win 15 to 18 districts, and the EV would be (say) 38-17. There's a big swing there.
Of course Florida, 29 EV, might end up 19-10 for Romney, and New York, 29 EV, might end up 21-8 for Obama, etc.
This would force candidates to spend more time around the country working areas that would flip districts to them, and less time in 'battleground' states. Heck, the concept of a 'battleground state' would melt away.
Campaigns would have to be truly national to win.

Congressional districts are proportional to population [60s era one man, one vote rule from SCOTUS]. As such, once again, one just has to focus on winning the districts which are massed in metro areas. The strategy would be to pander to the metro inhabitants which would then concentrate on less than a third of the states with most of those major metro areas.
#11
the solution to the electoral college problem lies in making it more like what the founders intended instead of less. it was not intended as a means for the people to select the president, but for the people to select the people who would select the president. how to do this is a problem we have had since 1796.
#12
It's probably very difficult to find better solutions.
It's true that a popular vote would make smaller, less populated states irrelevant.
But the current system gives way to much power to a few "swing states". This means that millions of citizens of New York or Houston can pound sand while a few hundred people in the boondocks of Ohio could decide the elections.

Why not just give 16 trillion electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote?
#14
This is retarded. There is no need to amend the Constitution to fix this thing. Just change one law from 1929.
To make the Presidential election more closely correlate with the popular vote, then we need more House of Representatives districts. Just doubling the size of the House would have given us Gore and Kerry.
Would the Representatives be unhappy that their power was lessened by having to share with all the new members. Um, yah. That is why they won't fix it.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Federal officials say that absentee ballots being sent to U.S. military serving in Afghanistan may have been burned in a plane crash.
A top official in the Federal Voting Assistance Program this week notified election officials across the nation that a transport plane crashed at Shindad Air Base on Oct. 19. The crash resulted in the destruction of 4,700 pounds of mail inbound to troops serving in the area.
Federal officials in their email to state election offices said they did not know if any ballots were destroyed. They also said the lost mail was limited to one zip code. But they recommended that election officials resend a new ballot to anyone who requested one since the first ballot may have been destroyed in the crash and fire.

[UPI] U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Philander C. Knox ... says she will stay in office until a successor is in place but she plans to leave "after the inauguration."
One day after The Wall Street Journal reported Clinton may stay in her post for a while if President Barack Obama This is a teachable moment... is re-elected, she told The Washington Post she hasn't had an opportunity "to sit down and talk to the president yet because he's trying to win an election."
She said, as she has in the past, she intends to leave the State Department whether Obama is re-elected nor not.
