Voter Fraud: How It's Done

The Daily Caller went to former Congressman Artur Davis, a Democrat from
Alabama who ran unsuccessfully for governor last year, and got an
interesting rundown of how voter fraud works in the South (and, one
supposes, in a lot of other places).

I can corroborate this to a substantial extent, because in January 2004, the
night before LSU beat Oklahoma in the national championship game, I ran into
a guy I went to high school with in a New Orleans establishment where adult
beverages were served. Said high school acquaintance had been a functionary
of sorts in the successful campaign for Attorney General of Charles Foti, a
Democrat machine politician from the Big Easy who had ingratiated himself
within many of the alphabet soup left-wing organizations in Orleans Parish
which had a well-deserved reputation for turning out ungodly numbers of
voters there.

In his cups, this acquaintance bragged to me that Republicans in Louisiana
would never emerge as the state's dominant party because "you don't know how
to win elections." When I protested that the outgoing governor was a
two-term Republican, at least in name, and that the GOP had carried
Louisiana in the majority of recent presidential elections, he laughed.
"Your boy Jindal couldn't win, could he? You can't beat Mary Landrieu, can
you?"

He then told me that the vote in Orleans alone would always be enough to
carry a Democrat candidate "who knows what he's doing" into office in a
statewide race. And then he told me how. He said every election cycle, the
abovementioned alphabet soup organizations would conduct voter registration
drives and sign up all kinds of people - black, white, live, dead, real and
fictional, plus lots and lots of felons - in precincts where no Republicans
existed.

But unlike Davis' description, my rather soused acquaintance made no mention
of absentee ballots. He said on Election Day all those thousands and
thousands of sketchy registrations would be a gold mine. Because, he said,
buses and vans would descend on the housing projects early in the morning
with machine operatives in tow, and cash money on hand. And there were
always lots of folks willing to ride in exchange for a few $20 bills in
cash. Those buses and vans would then hit "key" precincts where pre-cooked
voter registrations and friendly election workers awaited, and when the bus
arrived there would be a list of folks who hadn't voted (largely because
they were dead or fictional, I assume) from which the riders could vote.

He said this system would persist forever, because "those nice white ladies
from the suburbs you Republicans use as poll-watchers aren't going to
Central City or the Lower Nine" on Election Day. Meaning that for lack of
physical courage the GOP couldn't put a stop to Democrat voter fraud.

Of course, my acquaintance was sorry to see Hurricane Katrina strike New
Orleans some 20 months later, because not only did Katrina destroy the
old-line Democrat brand in Louisiana but the migration out of Orleans Parish
which resulted led to a restructuring of the state's voter rolls. And that
was the end of the wholesale voter fraud which had made Election Night such
a tragicomedy in Louisiana - wherein Orleans Parish was always the last to
report, and the vote totals there had always been both disproportionately
Democrat and somehow always just large enough to carry the favored candidate
home if the race was close.

Democrats like to say voter fraud is so rare that might as well not exist.
That's simply not true. It happens, and furthermore it's easily done with
the right machine to make it happen.

And that's why requiring an official photo ID at the ballot box is not only
a small inconvenience for voters to undergo - particularly when there are
almost always more registered drivers than registered voters around the
country - but a reasonable safeguard for honest elections. That Democrats
regard voter ID laws as racism is as much a stain on that party's honor as
it is circumstantial proof they regard voter fraud as a vital part of their
electoral strategy.
