My good friend Alan Vera of True the Vote told me long ago that we have a two party system. The Corrupt Party and the Stupid Party. To that fact, during the weekly True the Vote webcast, Catherine Engelbrecht related a meeting she had with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, asking what the GOP would do about voter integrity. The answer?
Nothing. They aren’t legally able to. (I’m not joking.)
As part of a lawsuit settlement with the Democrat Party, the Gutless Old Party agreed to NOT ENGAGE IN ANY VOTER PROTECTION INITIATIVES. Two of the clauses read this way:
(e) refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and the conduct of such activities disproportionately in or directed toward districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations shall be considered relevant evidence of the existence of such a factor and purpose;
(f) refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement personnel in connection with ballot security activities.
ACORN Whistleblower Anita Moncrief added that when she spoke at the Republican National Convention, she had to submit her speech to make sure NOTHING SHE SAID COULD BE CONSTRUED AS VIOLATING THE ORDER TO NOT ASSIST VOTER INTEGRITY.
I know think the characterization “the Stupid Party” may be too kind.
Engelbrecht said to add insult to injury, the judge who signed the agreement has long since retired, but every single year comes back for the sole purpose of renewing the order for another year.
Moncrief pointed out during her comments tonight that in visiting the Democrat advocacy groups in Ohio, they were organized, motivated and purposeful in getting out their vote as was witnessed by the long line of Somali and Ethiopian voters bussed in to polling places. When she visited the Romney campaign offices, she said there was utter confusion, many were just sitting around waxing about how the couldn’t wait to Free Willy. (ORCA was the name of the failed computer program the Romney campaign tried to use to “micro-target” volunteers to get out the vote where it was needed.)
It was down ALL DAY, and finally late in the day people were sent out with printed registration cards to go find people to vote.
Wasn’t I told by all the non-TEA Party Republicans that Romney was the best chance we had because he ran such great businesses and had the money to compete with Obama? Just asking.
Moncrief said one other thing of interest. When she visited random Ohio polling places, there was almost NEVER a GOP poll watcher and ALWAYS a Democratic one.
We wondered why the RNC wasn’t screaming bloody murder over the evidence of voting fraud? Of course, the RNC petitioned to get it changed this year but the Obama appointee denied it. Surprise, surprise.
Now you know.
And while True the Vote has done amazing things in bringing awareness to the issue of voter integrity, it is clear from the comments made tonight that they are just resigning themselves to the lost election and enormity of the Democratic advantage. And that’s NOT ok.
Obama only won by 400,000 votes in 4 states. ALL Of which showed Romney ahead in the days leading up to the election, but loosing by a substantial margin. All of which have precincts that inexplicably went 99% for Obama and had voter registrations that exceeded their population. ALL of which have public statements of problems with voting machines changing Romney votes to Obama.
It is obviously up to WE THE PEOPLE to do our job and hold the individual Secretary of State in each of these states accountable. Sacrifice at least reading the next four funny Facebook postings from your Aunt Freda and call/email and or petition these Secretaries here.

I've been wondering where the heck True the Vote has been since *election* day....WTHeck????
It's NOT okay for TTV to "just resign themselves" to the lost election.
Since the GOP has done everything to make itself useless, it is time to form a new party that represents American Citizens who wish to honor the Constitution and rule of law. This new party should not be subject to the absurd agreement noted above and should not be lead by ANYONE from the GOP.
The reality is that a new party would only permanently keep the Dems in power. Even WITHOUT the vote fraud there is no way to pull more than 1/2 of the GOP. Too many statists and timid generational followers to get enough to actually win.
The only method, in my opinion, is an all out assault on the GOP from the local level on up.
And that will require some work that it seems we've been unable to commit in large enough and consistent enough numbers.
ICaucus!
This to me, is just the result of an Uneducated Voter Body. People always think, just like the Dems... that 'someone' else is always getting things done. Or 'those' people shouldda tole us.
There is a couple of pieces to this I see that are not addressed in the Article.
1> I need to know the history of this and if the Dem counterpart has the same agreement. 2. No GOP at Polls. There were not Party Leaders of the Dem Party there either. 3. The Polls that did not allow Republicans as Poll watchers, is illegal..and at least one I know of was challenged. 4. GOP's job is not to challenge .. It is 'each States'. Sec of State and/or Atty Gen...and the Candidate themselves to file those papers. 5. Become a Poll watcher, and fight to be there if you have to. And don't try it once and give up. Please.
When I find time to find the history of this... I will post. But don't wait for me.. I may take awhile.
The RNC is not the GOP
No Foolin so I say the GOPe knew abt this beforehand tht mkes the Complicit and Duplicit ... !!!
Amen Politijim, amen. And a new Speaker not hooked at the pea-brain with the RNC good-old-boyz nor tied to Pigou (H Bush) Club
Well... NOW we know
As much as I would like to see the Corrupt GOP rot to the ground and start afresh, you are right, we must fight and take the GOP back to its roots. Sadly time isn't on our side and we have let the situation deteriorate into what it is now so we must work with what we have.
As I am sure you are well aware of, it's not just the corrupt GOP and their partisan hacks we will be battling for control of the party, it is also the so-called Conservative Media who helped split the Primary votes to allow Romney to take the nomination. Party and Power over Country is their mantra. We must clean our own house and firmly stand on the Founding Principles of this Nation if we are to have any chance of saving it and ourselves from despotism peacefully.
Both the "right" wing and left wing media were all silent when the GOP and Romney pulled their shenanigans and changed the rules at the Convention illegally. You would think the left wing media would have been more than thrilled to run with that story, why didn't they?

I voiced my disgust, with the White House, over how this election was run by signing a Recount the Vote petition. You can do the same thing here:

I think it's time to take a page from ACORN and disband the Republican party, forming a new party that won't be subject to the restrictions of this ridiculous agreement. It worked for ACORN, why not us? It isn't much different than a company that is burdened by insane union contracts selling to someone else, who then runs the same company free of the union. Several companies in my area have done this. It works.
I have to wonder if this agreement is even legally binding. In contract law, both parties must benefit somewhat equally; the contract can be declared null and void if one party benefits unduly to the detriment of the other party. This agreement is so one-sided that it's absurd, and it puts the entire electoral process, the basis for our form of government, at risk. Who will trust any elections when one party can cheat as much as it wants to and the other party can't do anything about it?
THIRD PARTY. Wake the hell up. We wasted 4 years. Many of us tried to talk people into a 3rd party 4 years ago. But No we had to waste our time trying to clean up something that cannot be cleaned up. NOW. Please listen up. THIRD PARTY and start today!!!
no doubt the democrats stole the election and the republicans are too lame to revolt about it. Where the hell is congress on this one?
perhaps it would keep them in power for a while, until they weeded out the losers . unfortunately by then, there would be no USA
To regain our freedom, I believe we must put our efforts to nullification and interposition at both the state and county level (through our sheriffs who are sworn to uphold the US Constitution).
Most of us know that the Republican Party was takenover by the New Right-Weyrich group when they took over the GOP platform/laws at the RNC; however, the base doesn't have a clue!! If the media were allowed to tell them, then, perhaps they would either "join" them or fight to get their GOP back! We did well with a 2-party system and the Republicans gave us some great presidents. As long as they are in control of their party, we will be playing this game over and over. Theocracy/Oligarchy is not going to take over Democracy and we must never let it!!
This is a huge scam. I spent two years trying to organize and set up True the Vote training for the state of Pennsylvania, as the state leader for True the Vote's effort. We were thwarted on all fronts by the state GOP leaders initially. They refused to allow anyone else to train poll watchers, even though they were obviously not being successful in placing observers. Then after significant conversations, they gave a modified approval 2 months before the election. But by then, Romney's group had come in and wiped out any ground we had gained in order to place poll watchers. They told True the Vote trainees that they were NOT QUALIFIED to be poll watchers. The law says that poll watchers only need to be qualified citizens registered to vote and not on the ballot in the country/precinct in which they are volunteering here in the state PA. As a result we were completely unable to adequately place any of the 400+ volunteers on our website since poll watchers have to be sponsored by parties or candidates. This resistance to place highly trained watchers was evident from the state all the way down to local county leaders. Our own leader here in Monroe County consistently told me that there was no need to have "trained" observers. Now, reading this article, it's clear where this crap came from. I agree with Mark Levin. Our National and state GOP leaders need to resign having not only failed, but failed miserably!!
I speak on my own behalf, not at all for True the Vote in any way.
Very interesting.

Since Reince Priebus name is thrown in there I need to let you know what an embarrassment it is for Wisconsin conservatives. He needs to explain how, how HOW a state that voted red statewide in 2010, voted red in the statewide Governor recall, voted back the seats lost in the fraudulent local recalls could, on the same ballot vote statewide blue for the three federal positions. One candidate (Baldwin) who is a card carrying socialist, ultraleft liberal homosexual. Explain please. Also, explain why the ballots didn't have an all party choice? That's unheard of.
It is time for an overthrow of the GOP.
This is giving the GOP way too much benefit of the doubt. The republican party is also corrupt. These acts of alleged stupidity are deliberate.
The GOP is Democrat now. Supporting them is supporting the Democrat party.
How is Col West allowed to continue with his recount?
This is ridiculous, how can we get an organized effort to combat this for future elctions?
I like your idea!
That is a lie they can fight this they just are cowards and so are we
I agree it is a lie and they think we will fall for it and we probably will because we have no real Republicans in office. What happen to Romney I guess he probably was threaten and what kind of people turns on their own!
There's not a conspiracy theory around that conservatives won't embrace. When you all get off your tinfoil hat merry-go-round and are ready to join the real world again, let the rest of us know.
Isn't it amazing how liberals like Joseph choose to make smarmy comments but aren't intelligent enough to actually READ the court documents that prove the article, or offer up evidence of their challenge? Perhaps the mass hypnotism of mainstream media does rot the brain after all. We have anecdotal evidence right here!
I have a feeling this agreement was purposely done, they may want us to think there on the side of freedom.When there just competing for a lesser kind socialism, but keep us in the dark because they know we won't go for it. and others are just trying to keep there job ,knowing there out numbered all i know is we must get to the bottom of it and remove the phonys in congress with real conservatives.
