Setting up post-election fraud

Gone but not forgotten

Supreme Court rules 4-4 to overrule Pennsylvania law and permit mail-in votes to be counted up to three days after the election, even when the postmark is illegible. Roberts joined the (other) liberals.

If election night shows Trump in the lead and that changes when a flood of “new” ballots come in to change the result, it won’t be pretty.

Swear in Barrett, soon.

Those who care about fraud, and there are no Democrats who do, will remember that Al Frankin became a senator by a margin of 312 votes out of 2.9 million cast. Investigations showed that some thousands of voters were convicted felons, ineligible under Minnesota law. 341 were prosecuted. The Bush administration sued the state, but Obama won control of the government and the investigation was dropped and the Minnesota courts dismissed the suit.

The Democratic Secretary of State Robin Carnahan refused to enforce the federal law, and the Bush administration sued. Yet, in March 2009, the Obama administration dropped the case and it has not brought any others.

J. Christian Adams, a former career Justice Department lawyer, told the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights last week that Obama's Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes ordered Justice Department lawyers to drop all these cases.  According to Adams, on November 30 last year Fernandes told 40 Justice Department lawyers: "We're not interested in those kind of cases. What do they have to do with helping increase minority access and turnout? We want to increase access to the ballot, not limit it."
