Report: Democrat Operatives Far More Involved In Voter Intimidation And Suppression In 2004, Thousands Of Americans Disenfranchised By Vote Fraud On Election Day
Contact: Jim Dyke, (843) 722-9670
Washington, DC – The American Center For Voting Rights Legislative Fund (“ACVR Legislative Fund”) today released the most comprehensive and authoritative review of the facts surrounding allegations of vote fraud, intimidation and suppression made during the 2004 presidential election.
The ACVR Legislative Fund report, “Vote Fraud, Intimidation & Suppression In The 2004 Presidential Election,” finds that while Democrats routinely accuse Republicans of voter intimidation and suppression, neither party has a clean record on the issue.
The report finds that paid Democrat operatives were far more involved in voter intimidation and suppression activities than were their Republican counterparts during the 2004 presidential election.
Examples include paid Democrat operatives charged with slashing tires on GOP get-out-the-vote vans in Milwaukee and an Ohio court order stopping Democrat operatives from calling voters telling them the wrong date for the election and faulty polling place information.
The report further finds that thousands of Americans were disenfranchised by illegal votes cast and a coordinated effort by members of certain “nonpartisan” organizations to rig the election system through voter registration fraud in more than a dozen states.
Examples include a law enforcement task force finding “clear evidence of fraud in the Nov. 2 election in Milwaukee,” including hundreds of felon and double voters and thousands more ballots cast than voters recorded as having voted in the city and multiple indictments and convictions of ACORN workers for voter registration fraud in several states.
ACVR Legislative Fund presents eight key recommendations focused on punishing those who engage in acts of vote fraud and voter intimidation and strengthening legal safeguards against such activity in future elections.
The report’s central recommendation calls for both national parties to formally adopt a zero-tolerance fraud and intimidation policy that commits them to repudiate any effort to intimidate voters or volunteers or commit vote fraud.
“Until political parties and candidates are willing to adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards election fraud, the American public will have little confidence in other reforms,” said Brian Lunde, ACVR Legislative Fund board member. “There is no room for politics when it comes to the right to vote.”
“It should be easy to vote but tough to cheat,” said Mark F. “Thor” Hearne, ACVR Legislative Fund Counsel.
In addition to common-sense recommendations such as required government issued photo ID at the polls, accurate statewide voter registration databases and a zero-tolerance policy against vote fraud and intimidation, ACVR Legislative Fund identifies five cities as election fraud “hot spots” which require additional immediate attention prior to the 2006 elections. These cities were identified based on the findings of the report and the cities’ documented history of fraud and intimidation.
Philadelphia, PA
Milwaukee, WI
Seattle, WA
St. Louis/East St. Louis, MO/IL
Cleveland, OH
A letter delivered today to DNC and RNC chairmen Howard Dean and Ken Mehlman urged party leaders to formally adopt the zero-tolerance policy against fraud and intimidation. ACVR Legislative Fund further asked party leaders to identify issues of concern in each of the election fraud “hot spots” by October 1, 2005.
ACVR Legislative Fund was founded on the belief that public confidence in our electoral system is the cornerstone of our democracy. The organization was established primarily to further the common good and general welfare of citizens of the United States of America by educating the public about vote fraud, intimidation and discrimination which impacts the constitutional right of all citizens to participate in the electoral process.
ACVR Legislative Fund is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that neither supports nor endorses any political party or candidate.
This is just a pro neo-con site. They will make up anything. I mean just look at their Board Chairman. He is a staunch Replu….. Oh wait he worked for Carter and the DNC….Never mind
It doesn’t mater who was allowed to vote and how was kept from voting. The Dems only did that because the Reps were also they just didn’t get caught as much. Remember that a Republican company owned all the vote counting machines so they fixed the election regardless. So if a few people were held up it didn’t really hurt anything, it was all fixed anyway.
no matter how much fact that there is about wrongdoings by the left it is ok because it is either
1) Not true
2) acceptable because the republicans do it 10 times worse
3) The fault of the republicans
4) A republican dressed up to be a democrat and commiting crimes
5) Not true
This could be the sig for a few posters here. No need to pay me for it. Its yours free to use. It will save skorp bandwidth on fewer posts.

You must have forgotten to write that he was National Executive Director of "Democrats for Bush."
And that he and his wife donated to the Bush campaign.
And that he donated money to Freshmen PAC, a group whose goal is to "Maintain a Republican Majority."
