Trump Advisor Steve Bannon Registered To Vote In 2 States

I think that changing the channel will do more to convince them we don't like it , and work much better than protest marches do. It seemed to make a difference during the elections and people stopped watching CNN, and (for a while) they started giving more unbiased coverage. It was the same with Fox News, at first they followed along on the anti-Trump stories just like the other news stations, but when their numbers started going down, they changed their tune and started being at least somewhat less biased with their coverage.

 

One of the reasons why we need to have an investigation into voter fraud is that a large number of people are registered to vote in more than one place.

If you move from one town to another, or to another state, if you are like most people you will make the move, and then register to vote in the new place, assuming that your name will be removed from the voter list in your former place of residence, if you even think about it at all. It doesn't always work that way, and it might not often work that way.

If I were to move from Millinocket, I would have to make a written request to have my name removed from the Millinocket voter list. Otherwise, it will remain there, and will be registered to vote in two places. If I were to actually vote in two places, that would be fraud. Otherwise, it represents a potential for abuse.

While my wife and I were publishing a newspaper, a state representative pointed out that we had more people voting in Millinocket than we had people.

We checked the voter registration list, and we found many people who were registered to vote with only a post office box, no street address. We found people registered to vote in more than one house in Millinocket, including one who had first registered to vote while living in his parent's house. He then rented a place in town, and registered to vote there. Later, he bought a house in town, and was now registered to vote three times in the same town. I don't know that he actually voted multiple times, but the potential was there.

Anyone with access to ballots and the names of people who are registered but not actually voting in Millinocket could easily cast extra ballots in these names.

We found people who had moved from Millinocket decades before, after graduating from high school, many of whom were voting in Millinocket. Were they also voting at their place of residence? I don't know. We found that one woman, a Democrat who was very active politically, had picked up absentee ballots for herself, her husband, and two children, both of whom had left Millinocket many years before. These ballots were turned in at the same time with signatures that used handwriting that didn't even pretend to differ.

We also found a few dead people, but not so many of them.

Not only were there more people registered to vote in Millinocket than there were people, but there were more people actually voting than there were people over the age of eighteen.

The town registrar told us that she used to purge the voter list of those who were not eligible to vote in town, but that the state had notified the registrars that they were no longer permitted to purge the voter lists. Subsequently, she could remove a name only if she had a death certificate, a written request from someone wanting to have their name removed, or notification from another registrar that that person had registered to vote elsewhere, and that registrars rarely sent such notifications any longer, probably because they are not even allowed to ask questions of people registering to vote anymore.

We contacted the Secretary of State, who said that the state didn't deal with local voter lists, and we would have to contact the registrar. Of course, the registrar had already told us that the state wouldn't allow her to remove ineligible voters from the list. We sent a written report of what we had found to the Secretary of State's office, but nothing was done. This same Secretary of State, also a Democrat, was recently quoted as saying that there is no evidence of voter fraud in Maine.

That reminds me of the question of whether a tree falling in the forest makes a noise if there's no one there to listen.

 

There are several easy remedies, but Democrats object to them. They used to purge the lists of people who hadn't voted in the past three years after first sending a post card. They can no longer do that. We require identification for practically everything else that we do, as human beings, but we can't ask for identification when someone registers to vote?
