15. Thanks for the link, but they still can't vote

Foreigners have to jump through dozens of hoops to live in the US.
Almost none of them are willing to jeopardize their status by voting for some schmo in some rigged election.

There was some lie doing the rounds about how some of the hijackers got some illegal alien to go down to the DMV and vouch for them so they could get drivers licenses from Virginia.

No way.
The DMV would have double-triple checked the person doing the vouching and they would soon have discovered that his Social Security number and INS entry info were not kosher. Then they would have nabbed the entire group.
Those boys had inside help.

Even in Tennessee, which did not require a valid SS Number to be submitted, the middle-easterners had to enlist the assistance of Katherine Smith who was later found torched in a car belonging to her middle-eastern business partner.

In any case,
why should ANYONE give one fig for foreigners voting
when DIEBOLD doesn't count ANY DAMN DEMOCRAT votes in the first place?
Furthermore,
the non-white foreigners who are being targeted by this article
have to wait HOURS ON END to get with arms reach of a voting booth
and pass a few dozen Republican KKKhallengers along the way.

This whole thing is yet another way in which
the Republicans seek to deny us all the power to vote for DEMOCRATS.

12. Wow! nice little tool, thanks. n/t

8. Which election are you saying should be thrown out, I'm curious?

One guy, who checked "No" to the "I am a citizen" question, and got registered anyway through a clerical error, should invalidate an entire election?

That's not anywhere NEAR as big of a deal as all the other crap we've seen out there, IMO.

[Lisabtrucking]

10. I know both elections were screwed up, but we must work on this

one because it has just happened. I am very aware of what is going on in every state, and because of all the blunders and thief that accrued in this election. The election should be thrown out, and a new vote be taken. IMO

[crispini]

11. So you're advocating throwing out the Democrat who won, eh?

How very bipartisan of you.

[Lisabtrucking]

13. What drug are you on? How does this have anything to do with

The democratic party?

[crispini]

14. That's why I asked you which election you were referring to.

Although I guess I should have specified, National, or Local. The incident you are talking about has specific impact on a local Houston race. From the article you quoted:

The issue of foreigners voting in local elections came up recently with the discovery that Henning Eilert-Olsen, a Norwegian living in Katy, had voted in the state legislative race between Talmadge Heflin and Hubert Vo in November. Democrat Vo defeated incumbent Republican Heflin by 33 votes, but Heflin is contesting the election in the state House.

Saying "this election should be thrown out" has a pretty specific meaning in the context of the Vo-Heflin race, IMO.

[Lisabtrucking]

16. I guess I should of been clearer, I want the entire election thrown out.

It shouldn't matter what party it is. If there is so many mistakes the election should be redone. I believe that is the only way to make things right, for all Americans.

[crispini]

18. Well, I guess my confusion arose from the fact that

there really is a realistic chance for the Vo-Heflin race to be thrown out, which would be a pity, IMO. And ... although it would be lovely... there's not a snowball's chance in hell we're getting a redo on the federal election.

Oh well, I guess we have to work harder between now and 06....

Ever hear of
The Democrat Youth Community of Europe (DEMYC) is the international umbrella organisation of the youth wings of Christian-Democratic, Conservative and like-minded parties of Europe. With currently now more than one million affiliates in its member organisations, DEMYC is one of the strongest political youth organisations in Europe.
http://www.demyc.org/this_is_demyc/

The 1970s – COCDYC’s membership constantly grows, which requires the broadening of the ideological basis; activities on specific topics like environmental policy or social services are organised. Organisations adopt resolutions on current political issues like the violation of human rights by Iran, the Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty, the Cyprus problem or the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Multilateral meetings between Western and Eastern Europe are carried out.

Not all voters on the list of 167 have received subpoenas or questionnaires.
One who hasn't is Henning Eilert-Olsen of Katy, who has lived in the area for nearly 14 years and voted in the November election even though he is not an American citizen and is therefore not eligible to vote.
Although Eilert-Olsen, a Norwegian, said he does not recall registering to vote, an application on file in Bettencourt's office appears to bear his signature. But the application also states that Eilert-Olsen is not a U.S. citizen. Nevertheless, he was issued a voter's card and CAST A STRAIGH REPUBLICAN TICKET in November.
Bettencourt acknowledged his office erred in giving Eilert-Olsen a voter card.

20. Inside Job

Paul Bettencourt, Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector, was re-elected to his second full term on Nov. 2, 2004. Bettencourt received 58.3 percent of votes cast in his race. Of all candidates on the ballot in Harris County, he was the only one to receive more than 600,000. (President George W. Bush collected 580,553 votes for re-election from voters in Harris County.)

BIO: Paul Bettencourt, Republican
Occupation:
Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector; vice president-sales, chemical, oil and gas division, ABB Industrial Systems, 1988-98, treasurer, 1996-97
Experience:
Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector, since 1998; Republican chairman, Harris County Precinct 309, 1998; vice chairman, Harris County GOP, 1996-97.

State Republican Chairwoman Tina Benkiser wrote, in a letter to all Republicans, that THREE SEATS WERE STOLEN FROM THE GOP: "In light of the voter fraud and suspicious activity uncovered in House Districts 35, 50 and 149, an election contest is the only way for the people in these districts to be confident that their representatives are the ones they chose. Each Republican victim in these districts has decided, at great personal sacrifice, to file an election contest so that the truth, whatever it may be, is revealed."
NORWEGIAN FOR HEFLIN
I've had the pleasure of writing about some wonderful voting fraud in the past, all by inventive (if often stupid) Democrats, and I was looking forward to doing so again.
But Republican Rep. Jack Stick withdrew his challenge in Austin's District 50 a couple of weeks ago, and on Friday Republican Rep. Eric Opiela withdrew his challenge in the Rio Grande Valley's District 35.
That leaves Heflin and Vo, and now it appears likely there was no intentional fraud here — just a few hundred honest mistakes.
Even by a foreign voter. As reported the other day, Norwegian Henning Eilert-Olsen didn't remember filling out a registration card, but the one on file shows his signature. It also shows that he checked a box saying he is not a U.S. citizen.
When he was sent a voter registration card anyway, he figured he was allowed to vote, and he did — for Heflin

Dang! No fraud among Vo voters!!
