<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The following will document cases of voter fraud across the world. This
article was created, to give a better understanding of many of the
instances and cases of voter fraud. This becomes a problem, when we see
so many countries fighting one another. This includes many people
starving to death, including lack of medicine and clean drinking water.
Many of these problems seem that they could be avoided in these
countries, where we see voter fraud undermining the political system of
the people. Voter fraud is an epidemic that is spreading across the
world. Not enough people are fully aware of the vast extent, of how many
countries have fallen victim to voter fraud, until now. The people should not fight each others in wars. We need to stop the corruption that continues to harm many different countries of this planet. The people of the world should prosper, instead of having to fight each other in war. Just remember, that some of the politicians in the world that start wars, are sometimes not even legitimately elected to political office by the people to begin with. We should remember this, whenever anyone tries to force the people into a war. Even these days, many of these same politicians have access to nuclear weapons. We can see that even nuclear weapons can be bought on the black market. This is why we must make the people aware of what is going on in the world, and what we can do to make the world a better place for all.</b></span><br />

Biden Campaign operative in Texas is attempting to rig the 2020
election with the help of others in a massive ballot harvesting scheme,
according to two private investigators who testified under oath that
they have “video evidence, documentation and witnesses” to prove it.
With the help of mass mail-in ballots, the illegal ballot harvesting
operation could harvest 700,000 ballots, one Harris County Democrat
operative allegedly bragged.<br /><br />The investigators—a former FBI agent
and former police officer—claim that Biden’s Texas Political Director
Dallas Jones and his cohorts have been “hoarding mail-in and absentee
ballots” and ordering operatives to them fill out for people in Harris
County illegally, “including dead people, homeless people, and nursing
home residents in the 2020 presidential election,” Patrick Howley of
the National File reported. </span><br /></span></span></h1><h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>___________________________ </span></span></h1><h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />Biden’s Texas Political Director Accused of Illegal Ballot Harvesting At Texas Supreme Court<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Major Scandal Has Implications for the Biden Campaign</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">September 28, 2020</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">https://nationalfile.com/bidens-texas-political-director-accused-of-illegal-ballot-harvesting-at-texas-supreme-court/</span></span></span></h1><h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><br /></span></span></h1><h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>___________________________ </span></span></h1><h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><br /></span></span></h1><h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Affidavits Allege Democrat Officials Planning Colossal Illegal Ballot Harvesting Scheme<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">September 28, 2020</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">https://texasscorecard.com/local/affidavits-allege-democrat-officials-planning-colossal-illegal-ballot-harvesting-scheme/</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Two

allege a massive illegal mail-ballot harvesting scheme is underway in
Texas’ most populous county, and “elite” Democrat officials are leading
the effort.<br /><br />Harris County has received attention over the past

me give you a little background to start with: The Insurrection Act is
among the most fundamental of all federal laws. First enacted in 1807,
it has been used repeatedly to carry out government’s most
elemental responsibility: that of ensuring domestic tranquility. The
Preamble to the Constitution lists the task of ensuring domestic
tranquility among the five pur-poses for which the Constitution of the
United States was created. Nothing is more vital than protecting
the physical safety of Americans. Military officials are sworn to
defend the nation against all enemies, for-eign and domestic. But
today, as cities are laid waste by violent mobs, the Defense Department
seems reti-cent to defend America against these brutal domestic enemies.
On June 4th, 2020, the prominent publication, For-eign Policy,
published a morning brief entitled, “Gener-als Denounce Trump’s Protest
Crackdown Plan.” The brief critiqued the President’s threat to
invoke the In-surrection Act, and subtly disparaged its relevance as
“a two-century-old law.” But the law empowering the President to
quell unrest, using military force, has been invoked 22 times since its
first use in 1808. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses
S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow<br />Wilson,
Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John
F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and George H.W. Bush have each
invoked the Insurrection Act to stop riots, enforce desegregation
orders, end military disturbances, and quell labor disputes.The
Insurrection Act was last used in 1992, when federal troops, under

Jim Allen, Communications Director for the Chicago Board of Elections
(BoE), acknowledges that “the numbers didn’t match” initially in the
legally mandated 5% audit of voting and tabulating machines after the
recent Illinois Democratic primary between former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Allen, however,
insists that this is simply a “perception issue” and that absolutely no
election fraud took place.<br />
Allen was responding by phone to my questions regarding allegations from citizen vote monitoring groups <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhoIsCountingChicago/?fref=ts">Who’s Counting? – Chicago</a> and the Illinois Ballot Integrity Project <a href="http://www.ballot-integrity.org/">(IBIP)</a>.
Dr. Lora Chamberlain is a leader of Who’s Counting, which works with
IBIP to credential election day monitors and joined them this year to
audit the audit. IBIP was started in Illinois in the aftermath of the
2000 Al Gore versus George Bush Debacle. A total of six members of the

The testimony is, simply put, beyond stunning.<br />
It can be viewed in its entirety on the official Chicago Elections YouTube channel. Beginning around the <a href="https://youtu.be/OSNTauWPkTc?t=22m4s">24 minute mark</a> will

A man who's a resident alien but not a citizen successfully
registered to vote in Maricopa County on a bet with a workmate. The man
admits to lying about his citizenship on the form but used his real
driver's license information and social security number. He told the
local ABC 15 TV:<br />
<blockquote>
“It makes me really think the system
is rigged. Not towards a political party but that the system is broken.
How can it be 2016 and all these departments can't catch that I lied on
my registration?”</blockquote>
He told ABC 15 News that he won't
be voting, but says, “If I got [the voter card] there's something
wrong.” Whether the man votes or not, the county attorney is considering
charges.<br />

Six
people were found to have voted twice using their own names and in
“another six cases, people are suspected of voting in Colorado and

In another case, 33-year-old Tomika Curgil was charged with <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gladys-coego-tomika-curgil-miami-women-arrested-for-violating-election-laws/" target="_blank">five felony counts</a>

For generations, dead people have been accused of voting in Chicago.
The Democratic “machine” supporting John Kennedy is believed by <a href="http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/133484" target="_blank">some historians</a>
to have conjured 8,858 votes from Chicago graveyards and elsewhere to
steal the 1960 presidential election from popular Vice President Richard
Nixon.<br />
The city was riven amidst a massive voter fraud case in 1982 with <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2008/04/where-theres-smoke-theres-fire-100000-stolen-votes-in-chicago" target="_blank">100,000 fraudulent votes.</a><br />
Now,
CBS Local Chicago reports there's a new crop of dead people filling out
ballots, though not as many as in “the bad old days,” as the <a href="http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/10/27/2-investigators-chicago-voters-cast-ballots-from-beyond-the-grave/" target="_blank">city's elections</a> commission spokesman put it.<br />
The station reports that <a href="http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/10/27/2-investigators-chicago-voters-cast-ballots-from-beyond-the-grave/" target="_blank">119 dead people</a>
have magically risen from the grave to fill out a ballot and vote 229
times in the last decade. One dead man has voted eleven times.<br />
These fraudulent votes are under investigation.<br />
Illinois
officials are also investigating three reports of people being offered
bribes to vote for Hillary Clinton and another Democratic candidate.<br />
<a href="http://www.daily-journal.com/news/local/voter-fraud-alleged-in-kankakee-county/article_e82562e7-5c57-5efd-a7a2-ae737e8913f0.html" target="_blank">The Daily Journal</a>
reports that Kankakee County officials are also investigating hinky
looking mail-in ballots and reports of people being driven to the polls
for early voting:<br />
<blockquote>
The investigation will also focus on
the authenticity of vote by mail requests. Several applications have
been filed with the election authority that appear to be fraudulently
executed.<br />
Late last week, Kankakee County Clerk Bruce Clark said potential voters were being brought to the clerk's office to vote early.<br />
“Whoever it is should not be doing this,” he said. “People should be allowed to come in here and vote without being harassed.”</blockquote>

have previously sued the state of Indiana for failing to promptly purge
its voter lists of dead people and other illegal voters, such as
convicted felons. A left-leaning political organization, TargetSmart,
now also claims that the state's voter rolls are filled with 837,000

An organization tied to Democrat party voting efforts has been raided in an investigation of voter fraud. Philly.com reports:<br />

The
warrant did not specify the nature of the probe, but said agents also
were looking for “templates...utilized to construct fraudulent voter
registration forms” and “completed voter registration forms containing
same or similar identifying information of individuals on multiple

Texas state officials have <a href="http://empowertexans.com/around-texas/largest-voter-fraud-investigation-in-texas-history-underway-in-tarrant-county/" target="_blank">opened an investigation</a>
into reports of so-called 'vote harvesting,' the practice of filling
out and delivering mail-in ballots for other people in Tarrant County.<br />
<a href="http://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/election/article108539187.html" target="_blank">Texas law forbids</a>
an individual to witness more than one non-family member register or
fill out ballots in a year. There's concern that retirement and nursing
homes are selected by partisans to “help” residents vote and deliver
their ballots.<br />
Governor Greg Abbott has confirmed that an investigation of voter fraud is underway.<br />
Also,
some voters have reported that voting machines flipped their votes to
the opposite party, but Texas officials say the 'flipping' is due to
human error. <a href="http://ijr.com/2016/10/724082-hold-after-election-machines-in-georgia-texas-found-flipping-votes-one-county-takes-real-action/">Independent Journal Review</a> previously

<span style="font-size: small;">Virginia</span></h1>
The Public Interest Legal Foundation <a href="https://publicinterestlegal.org/files/Press-Release_Noncitizen-Voting-1.pdf" target="_blank">recently uncovered</a>
more “1,000 noncitizens who have registered to vote in just 8 of
Virginia’s 133 voting jurisdictions. These ineligible voters have cast
nearly 200 ballots in American elections. Each fraudulent registration
and vote is a potential felony.”<br />
The report was just released in early October, and no charges have yet been filed.<br />
However, in another case, a Virginia man was charged with forging voter registrations and registration fraud.<br />
As Yahoo! News <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/three-florida-virginia-charged-voter-fraud-025419448.html" target="_blank">reported</a>:<br />
<blockquote>
Vafalay Massaquoi, 30, was arraigned on two felony counts of forging a public record and two counts of voter registration fraud.<br />
“There
is no allegation that any illegal vote was actually cast in this case,”
said Virginia Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Porter. “Furthermore, since
the fraudulent applications involved fictitious people, had the fraud
not been uncovered, the risk of actual fraudulent votes being cast was
low.”</blockquote>
While that sounds like a crisis-averted
situation, Linda Paine of the Election Integrity Project in
California told Independent Journal Review that doesn't make her feel
better:<br />
<blockquote>
“We don't even use the term 'voter fraud'
anymore. There's an overall manipulation of the voter process, including
lax statewide standards, that allow people to be <b>impersonated</b>
at the polls. And because poll workers don't check signatures or ID,
there [is] almost no way to catch it — unless they choose to.”</blockquote>
Paine
told Independent Journal Review that a good start toward getting rid of
voter manipulation would be checking for citizenship by comparing voter
rolls to e-verify lists.<br />
We've chronicled 14 cases, but we're not
talking about a total of 14 votes. For some of these examples, numerous
registrations or votes were affected. And one can only reasonably
expect that more cases are to come as we inch closer and closer to
Election Day.<br />

Wisconsin Republican County Clerk Claims She Misplaced 7,500 Votes For Justice Prosser, Her Former Boss</h1>

Last night, Republican Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus rocked Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election by claiming that she had <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/04/08/135235107/how-did-wisconsin-miss-14-000-votes-someone-didnt-click-save" href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/04/08/135235107/how-did-wisconsin-miss-14-000-votes-someone-didnt-click-save">suddenly found 14,315 lost votes</a>
in the most conservative county in the state. If these newly discovered
votes are legitimate, they give incumbent conservative Justice David
Prosser a more than 7,500 vote lead — a number that <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/07/964575/-Why-Prosser-needed-EXACTLY-+7500-votes" href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/07/964575/-Why-Prosser-needed-EXACTLY-+7500-votes">almost exactly matches the margin he needs to avoid a recount</a> at the state’s expense.</div>

Claims increase of machines switching votes in Ohio, other battlegrounds</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Nov 2, 2012</span></h1>
Imagine going to vote for your presidential candidate and pushing the
button on a touch-screen voting machine -- but the "X" marks his
opponent instead.<br />
That is what some voters in Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and Ohio have reported.<br />
Fox News has received several complaints from voters
who say they voted on touch-screen voting machines -- only when they
tried to select Mitt Romney, the machine indicated they had chosen
President Obama. The voters in question realized the error and were able
to cast ballots for their actual choice.<br />
"I don't know if it happened to anybody else or not,
but this is the first time in all the years that we voted that this has
ever happened to me," said Marion, Ohio, voter Joan Stevens.<br />
Stevens said that when she voted, it took her three tries before the machine accepted her choice to vote for Romney.<br />
"I went to vote and I got right in the middle of Romney's name,"
Stevens told Fox News, saying that she was certain to put her finger
directly on her choice for the White House.<br />
She said that the first time she pushed "Romney," the machine marked "Obama."<br />
So she pushed Romney again. Obama came up again. Then it happened a third time.<br />
"Maybe you make a mistake once, but not three times," she told Fox News.<br />

CHICAGO — Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday,
as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into
votes for Democrats.<br />
Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.<br />
“I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it
cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan said. “You could imagine my
surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried
to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a
Democrat.”<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></h1>
<a href="http://observer.com/2016/09/emailgate-and-the-mystery-of-the-missing-gamma/">Hillary Clinton’s</a> State Department has been revealed to be indefensibly unethical. From the <a href="http://observer.com/2016/03/bombshell-clinton-foundation-donors-flight-from-justice-aided-by-hillary-allies/">Clinton Foundation’s</a> pay-to-play to the highly questionable defenses <a href="http://observer.com/2016/08/clintons-former-employer-lafarge-faces-allegations-of-funding-isis/">Clinton</a> used during her <a href="http://observer.com/2016/09/fbi-data-dump-shows-clinton-is-criminal-and-clueless/">FBI investigation</a>, the
extent to which similar dirty politics were used to help her win the
Democratic primaries merits further attention. After the <a href="http://observer.com/2016/08/wikileaks-demands-more-than-getting-rid-of-wasserman-schultz/">releases</a> by <a href="http://observer.com/2016/09/wikileaks-guccifer-2-0-obama-sold-off-public-offices-to-donors/">Wikileaks</a> and <a href="http://observer.com/2016/09/new-guccifer-2-0-dccc-coordinated-with-clinton-campaign-in-2015/">Guccifer 2.0</a>, the role in which Nevada—a crucial early voting state—played in stopping <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/clinton-endorsement-backfires-as-sanders-supporters-look-to-jill-stein/">Bernie Sanders’</a> surge against <a href="http://observer.com/2016/09/paul-krugmans-latest-clinton-defense-reaches-new-low/">Clinton</a> is brought into light. The undemocratic nature by which <a href="http://observer.com/2016/08/how-much-corruption-can-clinton-laugh-off/">Clinton</a> won the Democratic primaries sets a dangerous precedent.<br />
On September 15, former Congressional <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Dan_Rolle" target="_blank">candidate</a> in Nevada’s fourth district, <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/politics/elections/democratic-candidate-called-upon-exit-4th-congressional-district-race" target="_blank">Dan Rolle</a>, took to <a href="https://twitter.com/danrolle/status/776419353822498816" target="_blank">Twitter</a> to
explain how, starting in 2012, the Nevada Democratic Party began
changing the state’s voter registration system as a means to <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/latest-guccifer-2-0-leak-reaffirms-primaries-were-rigged-for-clinton/">rig</a> the caucuses for <a href="http://observer.com/2016/03/no-shame-for-bill-and-hillary-entitlement-has-no-boundaries/">Clinton</a>. Most state Democratic parties—including Nevada—moved to <a href="https://www.rt.com/usa/327290-hillary-bernie-office-conspiracy/" target="_blank">NGPVAN</a> <a href="http://nvsos.gov/SOSCandidateServices/AnonymousAccess/CEFDSearchUU/ExpenseResults.aspx?ns=NGP-VAN&ctl00_MainContent_dgSearchResultsChangePage=5" target="_blank">database</a> systems, which Rolle says facilitated the monopolization of voter data in favor of Clinton.<br />
“So now, if you are <a href="https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton" target="_blank">@HillaryClinton</a> and you have <a href="https://twitter.com/NGPVAN" target="_blank">@NGPVAN</a>, you
know everything about every democrat. Including who WON’T vote for
you,” Rolle tweeted. “So how do you fix that? Simple. Vote Builder. A
piece of software that can change the state voter file. And you do that
with: <a href="https://twitter.com/NGPVAN" target="_blank">@NGPVAN</a>”<br />
Rolle attended a fundraising call before the Nevada caucuses, between <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/up-next-for-the-fbi-clinton-foundation-corruption/">Clinton</a> Campaign Manager <a href="http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-clinton-robby-mook-20160729-snap-story.html" target="_blank">Robby Mook</a> and Nevada <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/democrats-need-to-wake-up-and-speak-out-against-emailgate/">Democratic Party</a> donors who were worried she would lose the state, as 70 percent of newly registered voters were expected to support <a href="http://observer.com/2016/02/if-sanders-loses-bernie-believers-will-take-the-dnc-down/">Sanders</a>.
According to Rolle, there was a meeting with donors in New York leading
up to the Nevada caucus, where donors threatened to pull out.<br />
“I met with Nevada Democratic Party executive board members who told me they were aware of caucus members being bussed in from <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/california-calls-fraud-demands-dnc-investigation/">California</a>,”
Rolle told the Observer, noting there were significant discrepancies
with the Nevada Democratic Party’s voter file. “When I pressed on the
accuracy in the voter file, I was told ‘it’s garbage’ by an executive
board member.”<br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1>
Over the course of Rolle’s campaign for Congress in Nevada this year,
his team found anywhere between five to 10 percent discrepancies and
higher in the voter file. “You reach a point, statistically, where if
you say, ‘Hey, we are running for congress and 20 percent of this voter
file is garbage.’ On the <a href="https://twitter.com/xavvypls/status/776476136406675456" target="_blank">voter file</a>,
names were incorrect, phone numbers didn’t work. So you call someone on
the file and they say, ‘That’s not me’ or ‘I moved three years ago.’
One or two of those you expect—but 15 in 100 calls? That’s election
swinging right there.” <a href="http://observer.com/2016/06/obamas-latest-attempt-to-save-clinton-from-indictment/">Clinton</a> defeated <a href="http://observer.com/2016/04/heres-the-thing-so-many-americans-cant-grasp-about-bernie-sanders/">Sanders</a> in the Nevada caucuses 52.6 percent to 47.3 percent, a margin lower than the accuracy of the voter file.<br />
The process for recording results at the Nevada caucus was unreliable
and easily subject to manipulation. The Young Turks’ host Jimmy Dore
posted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv-8xtgpjV8&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">video</a>
on Youtube shortly after the Nevada caucuses, pointing out an inept
chairman of a caucus site in Las Vegas. Dore narrated as the chairman
forgot to nominate delegates to go to the state convention after
tallying the vote, and let people caucus who weren’t registered. A
separate <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ug9hHe_iZg&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">video</a> posted on Youtube revealed unregistered <a href="http://observer.com/2016/06/guccifer-2-0-leak-reveals-how-dnc-rigged-primaries-for-clinton/">Clinton</a> supporters entering a caucus site in Nevada.<br />
“The process of recording results from the Nevada Caucus just
involved a person (usually sent out there by the Nevada Democratic
Party) entering the results into a website on a phone. No
cross-referencing. No validation. You have people entering, voting, and
leaving before business concludes, with no verification.”<br />
Rolle confronted the Nevada <a href="http://observer.com/2016/06/debbie-wasserman-schultz-served-class-action-lawsuit-for-rigging-primaries/">Democratic Party</a> about
the disorganization and lack of communication at several Nevada caucus
sites. “I was told, ‘We are working on it, we are learning.’ Not ‘there
isn’t fraud.’ ” Rolle noted that the Nevada caucuses could have easily
swung one or two delegates at several different sites, swaying the state
in Hillary Clinton’s favor.<br />
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid played a major role in tipping the Nevada caucuses in favor of <a href="http://observer.com/2016/05/corruption-is-catching-up-to-the-clintons-and-their-associates/">Hillary Clinton</a>. Reid, who maintained neutrality until shortly after the caucuses—at which point he <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/02/harry-reid-hillary-clinton-endorsement-219738" target="_blank">endorsed</a> <a href="http://observer.com/2016/02/breaking-hillary-clinton-put-spies-lives-at-risk/">Clinton</a>—<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/02/18/union/" target="_blank">called</a> in
favors to casino owners, asking for workers to be sent to caucus sites
in Las Vegas. “If Harry Reid is going to push the needle with union
workers going to the polls (on paid time), Nevada is the state to do
it,” Rolle added. The Culinary Workers Union, for example, did not
intend to participate in the Nevada caucuses—until a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/02/18/union/" target="_blank">call</a> from Reid to the union’s leader changed their mind.<br />
Following the caucuses, 64 of Sanders delegates were rejected at the
Nevada State Democratic Party Convention by a board chosen by <a href="http://observer.com/2016/05/game-over-emailgate-just-crippled-the-clinton-express/">Clinton</a>.
The delegates would have given Sanders an edge. Roberta Lange, the
state party’s chair, denied a recount of delegates and ended the
convention at her own discretion, therefore breaking the party’s own
rules to ensure <a href="http://observer.com/2016/02/how-the-dnc-helps-clinton-buy-off-superdelegates/">Clinton</a> received more delegates from Nevada than Sanders.<br />
While Sanders supporters were understandably outraged, biased
mainstream media coverage portrayed them as violent. Some went so far as
to falsely claim Sanders supporters threw chairs in protest—a
narrative <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/wikileaks-proves-primary-was-rigged-dnc-undermined-democracy/">Wikileaks</a> proved the <a href="http://observer.com/2016/08/class-action-lawsuit-against-debbie-wasserman-schultz-moves-forward/">DNC</a> staff intentionally <a href="https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/9423" target="_blank">pushed</a> to discredit the Sanders campaign. The allegations were eventually debunked, yet <i><a href="https://www.rt.com/usa/343379-nonsense-sanders-nevada-democratic/" target="_blank">The New York Times</a>, </i>among other <a href="http://observer.com/2016/08/wikileaks-reveals-mainstream-medias-coziness-with-clinton/">publications</a>, failed to publish retractions or make edits to correct the story.<br />
What happened at the Nevada State Convention is essentially a
microcosm of the entire Democratic primaries. The Democratic Party
leadership breaks, bends and circumvent the rules to help <a href="http://observer.com/2016/03/hillary-has-an-nsa-problem/">Hillary Clinton</a>—and when Sanders supporters protest, <a href="http://observer.com/2016/05/mainstream-media-sacrifices-debbie-wasserman-schultz-to-appease-sanders-supporters/">mainstream media outlets</a> attack.<br />
The victory Nevada Democrat officials were able to squeeze out for
Clinton enabled the media to continue portraying Bernie Sanders as the
“unrealistic” underdog in a Democratic primary that belonged to Clinton <a href="http://observer.com/2015/11/hillarys-outpacing-of-endorsements-signals-the-game-may-be-rigged-in-her-favor/">before</a> a single vote was cast.<br />

Voter fraud allegations are being made by a Nevada Democrat and
former candidate for congress, Dan Rolle, who is now telling fellow
Democrats he is sorry and wishes he had known more about what apparently
began in 2012 with changes made to the Nevada voter system files and
continued until February 21 of this year when caucus votes in Nevada
were announced to the world before they were counted.<br />
Unfortunately for supporters of Bernie Sanders, that might have meant
a different outcome for their choice to be the Democratic nominee this
year.<br />
Democratic supporters “cooked” the voter files in order to “rig Nevada win for Clinton,” according to the report from <a class="external" href="http://observer.com/2016/09/former-democratic-congressional-candidate-says-hillary-stole-nevada/#.V9xZte754rE.facebook" target="_blank">Michael Sainato</a> about the voter fraud allegations in Nevada, in the <i>Observer</i>. Sainato also writes that the DNC has shown <a class="external" href="http://observer.com/2016/03/the-countless-failings-of-the-dnc/" target="_blank">a bias for Hillary Clinton</a>
throughout the 2016 election process, in another story on the website,
that highlights the failings of the organization. The sub-heading on
that latter story is important to note.<br />

Cancel the Debate! CNN Caught Selectively-Editing Trump’s ‘Muslim’ Comments</h1>

<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Left-wing cable news network CNN has been caught red-handed
selectively editing Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s
comments about a “Muslim registry,” and doing so in order to make it
sound as though he is agreeing to this registry. He is not.</span></span></h2>
The edited video is yet another lying log on the left-wing garbage
fire that is CNN, and yet in just three weeks, this very same garbage
fire is hosting the next Republican presidential debate!<br />
What exactly does CNN have to do in order to lose its right to depose
these candidates for two hours in front of the whole world? If CNN is
already maliciously editing video to “take out” out the frontrunner, I
don’t even want to speculate.<br />

A month after the California primary, Hillary Clinton’s initial lead of 12 points has <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/State-finally-wraps-up-primary-vote-count-a-8349006.php" target="_blank">diminished</a> to seven—still a substantial win, but not convincing enough to halt state-wide investigations into voter fraud.<br />
The controversy stems from California’s semi-open policy allowing
voters who aren’t registered Democrats to participate in the primary.
Thousands of provisional ballots were cast, but these voters were not
allowed to use the same ballot as <a href="http://observer.com/2016/07/democrats-need-to-wake-up-and-speak-out-against-emailgate/">Democrats</a>—if they didn’t obtain a special crossover ballot, their vote was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/judy-frankel/snagged-votes-in-los-angeles_b_10794718.html" target="_blank">nullified</a>.<br />
“Independent voters may have been disenfranchised during the June 7th
primary because of unusual rules that don’t apply to voters who
register under a party,” wrote Judy Frankel for <i><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/judy-frankel/californians-call-for-a-g_b_10823524.html" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a></i>.
“Independents, falling under the category of No Party Preference (NPP),
needed to use special ‘crossover’ ballots in certain California
counties – Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego being among them –
to vote for president.”<br />
A grassroots organization, <a href="http://www.watchthevoteusa.com/about-2/" target="_blank">Watch The Vote</a>, is <a href="http://www.watchthevoteusa.com/download-california-voter-declarations/" target="_blank">collecting</a> complaints
to show a civil grand jury the various ways voters were disenfranchised
during the California primary. According to Kelly Mordecai, director of
Watch the Vote, a civil <a href="http://www.watchthevoteusa.com/grand-jury-power/" target="_blank">grand jury</a> provides an
expedited way for citizens to have their voices heard—easier, in many
ways, than filing a lawsuit. Watch The Vote’s hope isn’t to overturn the
primary results, but rather to prevent tampering and ensure a uniform,
fair and reliable voting process for all voters—regardless of
the political party with which they’re identified.<br />
Many independent voters mistakenly registered with the American
Independent Party—a little known ultra-conservative party that could not
vote in the Democratic primaries. A <i>Los Angeles Times</i> <a href="http://static.latimes.com/american-independent-party-california-voters/" target="_blank">investigation</a> found three out of four people registered with the party did so by mistake—totaling almost half a million voters.<br />
Even worse, a CBS News <a href="http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2016/05/23/cbs2-investigation-uncovers-votes-being-cast-from-grave-year-after-year/" target="_blank">investigation</a>
found hundreds of deceased voters in Los Angeles County were still on
voter rolls and voting. This discrepancy should have been corrected by
the 2002 Help America Vote Act, but California is the only state yet to
comply.<br />

California in frenzy over voter fraud</h1>
<h2 class="deck">
Many outraged about Democrat mailer signed by Bill Clinton</h2>
Published: 11/07/2000<br />
<br />
<br />
In California, where it is illegal in most cases to ask voters for<br />
identification at the polls, there is a growing uproar over a<br />
Clinton-signed mailer urging Latinos to bring an unofficial paper “voter<br />
identification card” to the polls, potentially allowing non-citizens to<br />
vote.<br />
<a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15082"><br />
First reported by WorldNetDaily yesterday</a> in a column by Editor Joseph Farah, the ID card is attached to the mailer, which was paid for by the<br />
<a href="http://www.ca-dem.org/dems/cadems.nsf/index"><br />
California Democratic Party.</a> <br />
“While every election is important, the November 7th election will
determine our future for the next decade, and beyond,” the letter reads.
“The stakes are high for America’s Latino families. And California is
the critical battleground.” It goes on to explain the purpose of the
“voter identification card” attached to the letter. “Here is your
personal Voter Identification Card. Sign your name, then detach your
card. Bring your card with you to your polling place on Election Day.
It will help your voting go more smoothly...” <br />

'Voter fraud'? California man finds dozens of ballots stacked outside home</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">November 03, 2016</span></span></h1>
Jerry Mosna was gardening outside his San Pedro, Calif., home
Saturday when he noticed something odd: Two stacks of 2016 ballots on
his mailbox.<br />
The 83 ballots, each unused, were addressed to
different people, all supposedly living in his elderly neighbor’s
two-bedroom apartment.<br />
“I think this is spooky,” Mosna said. “All the different names, none we recognize, all at one address.”<br />
His wife, Madalena Mosna, noted their 89-year-old neighbor lives by herself, and, “Eighty people can’t fit in that apartment.”<br />
They took the ballots to the Los Angeles Police
Department, but were directed to the post office. They felt little
comfort there would be an investigation, and called another neighbor,
John Cracchiolo – who contacted the Los Angeles County Registrar's
office.<br />
A spokeswoman for the Registrar said the office will
investigate. Both Cracchiolo and Jerry Mosna told FoxNews.com they think
they stumbled upon a case of fraud.<br />
<br />
“Yes, there is voter fraud. We saw it with our own eyes,” Cracchiolo said.<br />
In a statement, the office of the Registrar said, “We
are carefully reviewing our records and gathering information to fully
identify what took place. Our preliminary assessment is that this
appears to be an isolated situation related to a system error that
occurred causing duplicate ballots to be issued to an address entered
for a single voter. We are working directly with the system vendor to
ensure the issue is addressed and to identify any similar occurrences.”<br />

to Alameda and Riverside counties today to ensure California's
long-awaited Election Day goes smoothly – a routine move in a decidedly
not-routine election year already replete with allegations of voter

Voter intimidation has gotten more attention this election cycle with
news that various tea party groups plan to stake out polling places,
ostensibly in an grass-roots effort to curtail voter fraud.<br />

These two

the surprising news that it was ACORN activists who duped or coerced
these students into registering to vote as a Republican by signature
gatherers who initially asked them to sign petitions for causes like
legalizing marijuana, fighting cancer or cleaning up beaches. The ACORN
activists targeted students who were rushing to class or heading to
their car or on their way to the store when a signature gatherer stopped
them and asked if they’d like to sign a petition. Harried but wanting
to help, they listened to the pitch, liked what they heard and signed —
and then watched as the petitioner produced more papers to fill out. Now
suddenly faced with more to sign, they scribbled their information as
fast as they could, many failing to notice that they were filling out a
voter registration card.</div>

Americans aren’t the only ones motivated by Tuesday’s election. The
presidential race has immigrants from around the world racing to the
U.S.-Mexican border, as the cartels exploit a powerful narrative: get
into the U.S. while you still can.<br />
“Smugglers are telling them that they need to come
across now while there’s a chance,” said Art Del Cueto, a Border Patrol
agent in Tucson, Ariz., whose views were echoed by another agent in
Texas.<br />
“People think if one candidate wins, certain things
will happen, like a giant wall being built and then they can never get
through,” said Chris Cabrera, an agent in the Rio Grande Valley.
“Another faction believes that if the other candidate wins, they’ll get
amnesty if they’re here by a certain date.”<br />

Pennsylvania state police have raided a Delaware County political
field office seeking evidence of possible voter-registration fraud,
according to court records.<br />
In a warrant filed late last week in County Court, investigators said
they were seeking documents, financial information, and lists of
employees at the Norwood office of FieldWorks LLC, a national
organization that often does street work for Democrats, records show.<br />
The warrant did not specify the nature of the probe, but said agents
also were looking for "templates . . . utilized to construct fraudulent
voter registration forms" and "completed voter registration forms
containing same or similar identifying information of individuals on
multiple forms."<br />
A Delaware County judge on Friday afternoon signed the search
warrant, but it was not known when it was executed. The warrant
application was approved by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office.
Jeff Johnson, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, declined to

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Odd? Romney Got ZERO Votes In 59 Precincts in Philly, and 9 Precincts in Ohio </b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="article-dates">November 12, 2012 </span><br />
<br />
Mitt Romney’s demographic troubles have, by this point, been
well-rehearsed by practically every pundit across the political
spectrum. However, even in his most troubled demographic (black voters,
where Romney was trounced 94-6), the GOP nominee could probably comfort
himself that at least – contrary to some polls – he didn’t get 0
percent.<br />
But what if there are parts of the country where Romney not only got
zero percent of the vote (a possibility in the case of vote totals so
small that rounding renders them null), but actually got literally zero
votes? For the nominee of a major party, that would be truly
extraordinary – so extraordinary, in fact, that it would strain
credulity.<br />
And seeing as this highly unlikely turn of events happened not in one
or two precincts, but in over 59 in Philadelphia, and 9 in Cleveland,
that credulity can be safely said to be completely strained, if not
broken. From the <a href="http://mobile.philly.com/news/?wss=/philly/news/politics/&id=178742021&viewAll=y#more" target="_blank">Philadelphia Inquirer</a>:<br />

<h2>
How Ron Paul may have won — and lost — Maine</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
February 16, 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Washington County, Maine, is the
easternmost point in the continental United States. This region of rocky
shores and pinetree forests is populated by proudly independent — and
defiant — citizens.</div>
The Republicans in Washington County have supported such radical and
underdog candidates as Ross Perot and Patrick Buchanan in the past.<br />
Too bad they didn’t get to participate in the Maine caucuses last weekend.<br />
Due to a snowstorm, the Republican party in Washington County (and in
various locations in neighboring Hancock County) was forced to
reschedule its caucuses for this coming weekend. Yet despite not having
results from these precincts, Maine Republican Chairman Charlie Webster
declared Mitt Romney the victor in the Maine caucus. Romney, Webster
reported, earned 2,190 votes, while Ron Paul finished second with 1,996
votes.<br />
According to the Associated Press, the chairman of the Washington
County Republican Party, Chris Gardner, a Romney supporter, called state
party leaders and expressed his “complete and utter dismay.” Washington
County Republican leaders, who moved their caucuses to this coming
Saturday after snow made it difficult to meet last weekend, will convene
these postponed caucuses this Saturday, and County Chair Gardner is
hoping that state party officials will change their mind and accept the
results.<br />
He shouldn’t hold his breath.<br />
After all, the Republican leadership in Maine refused to accept the
results of other caucuses that were completed in time. Eighteen towns
that held <a href="http://waldo.villagesoup.com/news/story/waldo-county-mostly-missing-from-official-maine-gop-results/484636">caucuses in Waldo County reported their results by the Feb. 11 deadline, yet those totals showed up nowhere</a> in the final tally. <a href="http://bangordailynews.com/2012/02/14/politics/pressure-mounting-for-gop-caucus-reconsideration/">Nor did the results from Waterville or Belfast make it into the GOP numbers</a> even though the caucuses held in those towns were also completed by the deadline.<br />
The one variable that links each of these cases is Ron Paul. If all
of Waldo County’s caucus totals counted (including the excluded
results), Paul would have won by 21 votes. Paul was the only candidate
to visit Waterville, where he spoke to students at Colby College and
tallied 16 more votes than Romney in the excluded Waterville caucus.
When the chairman of the Belfast Caucus Committee telephoned his results
showing a Paul victory to the state’s Republican headquarters, <a href="http://waldo.villagesoup.com/news/story/waldo-county-mostly-missing-from-official-maine-gop-results/484636">he was told they already had the numbers</a>.
Those numbers mysteriously — and inaccurately — showed a Romney victory
in Belfast. When the final tally for Maine’s caucus was announced, zero
votes from Belfast were included. Interestingly, not a single case of
excluded caucus results supporting Romney has been publicly identified
yet.<br />
Gardner expects a large turnout this Saturday. “Based upon the fact
that this year’s caucuses ginned up a lot of interest, we were
anticipating there would be north of 200 people there,” the county GOP
chairman told Dave Weigel at Slate.com. “Now that we’ve gotten the
attention, the amount of attendees we’ll see is anyone’s guess. I’d be
shocked if we saw lower turnouts as a result of this.”<br />
Sentiment around Maine is that Ron Paul will likely win the
Washington County caucuses to be held this coming Saturday. He only
received eight votes from the county in 2008, but statewide in 2012,
even without the votes in question from Waldo County, Belfast and
Waterville, Paul almost doubled his vote total from 2008. Romney, on the
other hand, saw his statewide vote count decline from 2,837 votes in
2008 to 2,190 votes in 2012. Another factor is that Washington County
has both a proud, independent tradition in electoral politics and the
kind of community and public college population that often provides
support for Ron Paul.<br />
But even if Paul doesn’t win, the electoral process has still been
tainted. Not allowing people in at least a county and a half to have
their preferences registered in Maine’s caucuses, particularly those in
areas that all political observers believe favor one candidate, skews
the results and undermines democratic input. At the same time, the
announcement of the vote last Saturday opens the door to political
mischief and challenges democracy as well. In general, caucuses attract a
small percentage of citizens who can devote hours to them and
consistently have much lower turnout than primaries. But in a place like
Maine, where town meetings still make local budget decisions, many have
been loath to shift to primaries, which require less from citizens but
involve more people.<br />
If Paul were to win Maine, he would join Rick Santorum, who “lost,”
then won, the Iowa caucus, as a twin victim of a system geared against
outsiders. The lesson of Iowa and Maine, it would appear, is that
perhaps the Republican Party should closely examine its own electoral
procedures before worrying about general election processes in the rest
of the country.<br />

Election fraud feared as hackers target voter records</h1>
<span class="date">05/02/16 </span><br />

A series of data breaches overseas are spurring concerns that hackers could manipulate elections in the United States.<br />
Since
December, hundreds of millions of voters in the U.S., the Philippines,
Turkey and Mexico have had their data discovered on the web in
unprotected form. In some instances, legitimate security researchers
found the information, but in others, malicious hackers are suspected of
pilfering the data for criminal purposes.<br />

Here's what we know so far about voter fraud and the 2016 elections
</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;">Oct 26, 2016</span></h1>
<h3>
Allegations of fraud have surfaced in Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado</h3>
Cases of proven voter fraud in 2016, particularly those related to the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics-government/2016-presidential-election-EVGAP00087-topic.html" id="EVGAP00087" title="2016 Presidential Election">presidential election</a>, are few. But voting irregularities have led to accusations of fraud on several occasions in <a href="http://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/election/article108539187.html" target="_blank">Texas</a>, <a href="http://www.kswo.com/story/31430630/3-under-investigation-for-voter-fraud" target="_blank">Oklahoma</a> and <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/2016/09/23/potential-fraud-dead-voters/" target="_blank">Colorado</a>, among other states.<br />
In a Missouri state House race this summer, incumbent Penny Hubbard
won the Democratic primary nomination by 90 votes, boosted by a wave of
absentee ballots — even though her opponent, Bruce Franks Jr., won the
contest among in-person votes.<br />
A judge later ruled that more than
200 absentee votes were improperly counted because they were not sealed
in envelopes. In a do-over of the election, Franks won decisively. <a href="http://www.stlamerican.com/news/local_news/thundering-victory-for-bruce-franks-jr-over-hubbard-in-special/article_84c00c8e-7c84-11e6-a277-574dae3ded38.html" target="_blank">Jay Ashcroft</a>,
a Republican nominee for secretary of state — the office that oversees
elections — pointed to the case as voter fraud, though the judge who
called for a second election had blamed election officials for the
botched process.<br />
Separately, the FBI is also investigating <a href="http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/prosecutors-fbi-investigating-allegations-of-absentee-vote-fraud-in-berkeley/article_7154f7cb-e93b-56c9-8f8c-7d3bc9025afd.html" target="_blank">possible voter fraud</a> in Berkeley,
a suburb of St. Louis where the mayor and his supporters have been

Giuliani on rigged election: 'Dead people generally vote for Democrats'</h1>

Yes, There Has Been Voter Fraud in Idaho </h1>
<br />
Nov 2, 2016<br />
<br />
Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump would have Americans
believe there is widespread voter fraud, saying "people that have died
10 years ago are still voting" and there is a "massive problem with
illegal immigrants voting." The Brennan Center for Justice deflates
Trump's claims, arguing "allegations of widespread voter fraud often
prove greatly exaggerated. The allegations simply do not pan out."<br />
However, conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation has curated a
list of election fraud cases over the past several years "where
individuals were either convicted of voter fraud, or where a judge
overturned the results of an election." The list includes two Idaho
incidents:<br />
Following the 2004 General Election—Bush vs. Kerry—Jason Jay Goodson
was convicted in Bonneville County in eastern Idaho, for "falsifying or
forging public records and wrongful signing of a ballot petition," which
is a felony. He was sentenced to two years probation.<br />
Following the 2008 General Election—Obama vs. McCain—Walter Coiner,
who identified himself as a Ketchum nursery owner, pleaded guilty to
attempting to vote twice: once through a write-in ballot in Twin Falls
and again in person at a Blaine County polling place. According to the
Twin Falls Times-News, Coiner misunderstood where and when he could
vote, and asked for leniency from the court. Ultimately, Coiner was
sentenced to one year of probation, a $300 fine and 40 hours of
community service.<br />

Hackers based in Russia were behind two recent attempts to breach
state voter registration databases, fueling concerns the Russian

U.S. intelligence officials tell NBC News. <br />
The breaches included the theft of data from as many as 200,000 voter records in Illinois, officials say. <br />
The incidents led the FBI to send a "flash

In
this explosive new video from Project Veritas Action, a Democratic
dirty tricks operative unwittingly provides a dark money trail to the
DNC and Clinton campaign. The video documents violence at Trump rallies
that is traced to the Clinton campaign and the DNC through a process
called birddogging. <br />
<br />
A shady coordinated communications chain
between the DNC, Clinton Campaign, Hillary Clinton’s Super PAC
(Priorities) and other organizations are revealed. A key Clinton
operative is on camera saying, “It doesn’t matter what the friggin’

further into the back room dealings of Democratic politics. It exposes
prohibited communications between Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the DNC
and the non-profit organization Americans United for Change. And, it’s
all disguised as a duck. In this video, several Project Veritas Action
undercover journalists catch Democracy Partners founder directly
implicating Hillary Clinton in FEC violations. “In the end, it was the
candidate, Hillary Clinton, the future president of the United States,
who wanted ducks on the ground,” says Creamer in one of several
exchanges. “So, by God, we would get ducks on the ground.” It is made
clear that high-level DNC operative Creamer realized that this direct
coordination between Democracy Partners and the campaign would be
damning when he said: “Don’t repeat that to anybody.” The first video
explained the dark secrets and the hidden connections and organizations
the Clinton campaign uses to incite violence at Trump rallies. The
second video exposed a diabolical step-by-step voter fraud strategy
discussed by top Democratic operatives and showed one key operative
admitting that the Democrats have been rigging elections for fifty
years. This latest video takes this investigation even further. </span></span></h1>

In
the effort to prove the credibility of the undercover donor featured in
the videos and to keep the investigation going, Project Veritas Action
made the decision to donate twenty thousand dollars to Robert Creamer’s
effort. Project Veritas Action had determined that the benefit of this
investigation outweighed the cost. And it did. In an unexpected twist,
AUFC president Brad Woodhouse, the recipient of the $20,000, heard that
Project Veritas Action was releasing undercover videos exposing AUFC’s
activities. He told a journalist that AUFC was going to return the
twenty thousand dollars. He said it was because they were concerned
that it might have been an illegal foreign donation. Project Veritas
Action was pleased but wondered why that hadn’t been a problem for the
month that they had the money. </div>

James O'Keefe Video Purports to Show Ease of Voter Fraud in N.H. Primary</h1>
<div class="date">

<div class="date">
A video posted the day after <b> <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/elections/new-hampshire-primary.htm">the New Hampshire Primary</a> </b>
from conservative Gonzo James O'Keefe either exposes why voting laws
are too lax or comes close to itself being voter fraud (or both), by
obtaining the ballots of dead Granite Staters on primary day.<br />
<b> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-uVhhIlPk0&feature=player_embedded">The video</a> </b>
has already sparked an investigation in the New Hampshire State
Attorney General's office, both because of the weaknesses of the
electoral system it seems to demonstrate and the potential legal
violations those making the film might have committed, according to N.H.
Associate Attorney General Richard Head.<br />
Poll workers in the video offer up ballots without requesting identification from off-camera operatives. Members of O'Keefe's <b> <a href="http://theprojectveritas.com/">Project Veritas</a> </b>
give names that the video alleges belong to deceased New Hampshire
voters and receive ballots, even when they report that they forgot their
IDs in the car. It would be considered voter fraud were any of them to
vote under these names, but none of them do - at least on camera.</div>

Indiana Police Raid Democrat-Connected Voter Registration Project</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">

<h2>
Indiana State Police raided the offices of Indiana Voter
Registration in downtown Indianapolis, a group run by longtime
Democratic operative Craig Varoga.</h2>
The raid was part of an ongoing investigation which originally
started in two counties and has now spread to nine: Hendricks, Marion,
Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake, and Madison counties.<br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="bydate"> </span></span></h1>
State police say an investigation of this nature is complex, time
consuming and is expected to continue for several more weeks or months.<br />
“Some people are having the incorrect names, with incorrect
addresses, or the correct names with incorrect addresses, or the correct
names with incorrect date of birth and that will come to play, if you
go to vote, they’re not going to let you vote,” said ISP Sgt. Rich Myer.<br />

on a scale large enough to change the outcome of the election? Should
the election be declared void?

Irregularities reveal Mexico's election far from fair
</h1>
<br />
9 July 2012<br />
<br />
The
media rewrites history every day, and in so doing, it often impedes our
understanding of the present. Mexico's presidential election of a week
ago is a case in point. Press reports tell us that Felipe Calderón, the
outgoing president from the PAN (National Action party), "won the 2006
election by a narrow margin".
<br />
But this is not quite true, and without knowing what actually
happened in 2006, it is perhaps more difficult to understand the
widespread skepticism of the Mexican people toward the results of the
current election. The official results show Institutional Revolutionary
party (PRI) candidate Enrique Peña Nieto winning 38.2% of the vote, to
31.6% for Andrés Manuel López Obrador, of the party of the Democratic
Revolution (PRD) and 25.4% for Josefina Vázquez Mota of the PAN. It does
not help that the current election has been marred by widespread
reports of vote-buying. <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/mexicos-presidential-election-tainted-by-claims-of-vote-buying/2012/07/04/gJQAHqTzNW_story.html">From the Washington Post</a>:<br />

Most are old-guard
candidates picked to run before energized prosecutors backed by a mass
anti-corruption movement toppled the previous administration. Many
voters are so skeptical that they campaigned for the election itself to
be postponed to give them a new crop of choices.<br />
Leading in most polls with roughly 30 percent backing is Manuel
Baldizon, a wealthy 44-year-old businessman and longtime politician. His
running mate is accused by prosecutors of influence trafficking, but as
a candidate enjoys immunity from prosecution.<br />
Guatemalans began
heading to the polls after they opened early Sunday to also elect a vice
president, members of Congress and the Central American Parliament, and
local authorities for municipalities nationwide.<br />

The second round of El Salvador’s presidential elections, held on March 9th, were historic on many levels.<br />
This
was the closest presidential race in the history of El Salvador: the
spread between the two contenders was 0.22 percent, or just under 6,400
votes out of nearly 3 million votes cast. Voter turnout was the highest
in the history of El Salvador and the president-elect, Salvador Sanchez
Cerén, received the most votes of any candidate ever in the history of
El Salvador. Cerén is the first rank and file member of the leftist
Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front party (FMLN), the first former
school teacher and the first unionist to be elected as president. And
significantly, this was the first presidential election cycle in recent
memory that was not tainted by corruption and fraud.<br />

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">...</span>Digging a few layers deeper, LIBRE <a href="http://%20http//hondurasresists.blogspot.com/2013/11/libre-details-electoral-fraud-english.html?m=1">claims</a>
that many of the scanned tallies in the TSE database don’t match the
copies received by the party, suggesting possible tampering either at
the National Party-controlled voting tables or later by the TSE. In some
cases, LIBRE notes, the official tally sheets are missing from the
database altogether. In still others, the number of votes counted
exceeds the number of voters, or reflects an absurdly high voter
turnout. A <a href="http://%20http//www.soaw.org/about-us/equipo-sur/263-stories-from-honduras/4167-actas">sample</a> of suspicious tally sheets culled from the database by SOA Watch illustrates some of these anomalies. (The <a href="http://siede.tse.hn/app.php/divulgacionmonitoreo/reporte-presidente-actas/8/110/08011001">database</a>, for all its flaws, is completely accessible to the public.)</span></span></h1>
Thus far, the TSE has only <a href="http://hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com/2013/12/where-recount-process-stands.html"><b>agreed </b></a>to
a public recount of the tally sheets (not the votes), which will
contrast the original, scanned, and LIBRE party versions. LIBRE is
demanding, at a minimum, that where inconsistencies are found, the
ballots should be recounted vote by vote. As of now, the recount process
remains unresolved. The final election results must be certified by
December 24...<br />

Rigging the Election - Video IV: $20k Wire Transfer From Belize Returned</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1>
Project Veritas Action has released the fourth video in a multi-part
series that is sending shockwaves through the DNC and the Clinton
campaign. The first video explained the dark secrets and the hidden
connections and organizations the Clinton campaign uses to incite
violence at Trump rallies. The second video exposed a diabolical
step-by-step voter fraud strategy discussed by top Democratic operatives
and showed one key operative admitting that the Democrats have been
rigging elections for fifty years. The third video exposed prohibited
communications between Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the DNC and the
non-profit organization Americans United for Change. This latest video
breaks down the process of the long-term investigation.<br />
In the effort to prove the credibility of the undercover donor
featured in the videos and to keep the investigation going, Project
Veritas Action made the decision to donate twenty thousand dollars to
Robert Creamer’s effort. Project Veritas Action had determined that the
benefit of this investigation outweighed the cost. And it did.<br />
“First thing, like I said, thank you for the proposal. And I’d like
to get the $20,000 across to you. The second call I’m going to make
here is to my money guy and he’s going to get in touch with you and auto
wire the funds to you,” said the PVA journalist.<br />
Creamer told the PVA journalist to send the money to Americans United
for Change. Shortly after the money was released, the “donors” “niece” -
another Project Veritas Action journalist - was offered an internship
with Creamer.<br />
In an effort to see how far Creamer would go with the promise of more
money, another Project Veritas journalist posing as the donor’s money
liaison requested a meeting with Creamer. During that meeting, Creamer
spoke about connections he had with Obama and Clinton.<br />
After the release of the previous Project Veritas Action videos,
Hillary Clinton and her staff tried to distance themselves from Robert
Creamer. However, Creamer doubled down about connection with the
campaign.<br />
“Every morning I am on a call at 10:30 that goes over the message being driven by the campaign headquarters,” said Creamer.<br />
The more money that was promised to Creamer, the more access Project
Veritas Action journalists seemed to get. Project Veritas Action’s
$20,000 investment paid off. The story was solid. Robert Creamer, Scott
Foval, Jenna Price from the DNC, Brad Woodhouse from AUFC, Cesar Vargas
and others opened the door to their smoke filled rooms of illegal and
dirty campaign dealings, as seen in the three previous PVA videos.<br />
In an unexpected twist, AUFC president Brad Woodhouse, the recipient
of the $20,000, heard that Project Veritas Action was releasing
undercover videos exposing AUFC’s activities. He told a journalist that
AUFC was going to return the twenty thousand dollars. He said it was
because they were concerned that it might have been an illegal foreign
donation. Project Veritas Action was pleased but wondered why that
hadn’t been a problem for the month that they had the money.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">3 weeks ago, we showed you the by-election that the Department
of Youth Services conducted for Presidency for the Belize Chapter of the
National Youth
Council. Stafin Duncan – a UDP supporter and Micah Goodin, a PUP
supporter, went head to head, and when the votes were tallied, Duncan
won.
</span></span></h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">
Goodin complained bitterly that UDP operators politicized the
Elections when there should be no such thing in youth work. Well
tonight, he’s taken it
one step further; he says that Stafin’s UDP campaigners paid for
votes.

Now, as you may be aware, this National Youth Council is the
Government’s latest attempt to give the Youth population an opportunity
to have
representation in the decision making process by Central
Government. But right now, instead of giving the youth a voice, it’s
just turned into “PUDP”
noise.
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">
Today, Goodin and his fellow PUP youth advocate, Alberto Vellos
staged a sidewalk press conference in front of the Department of Youth
Services, where
the Youth Council Elections was held. Here’s Micah explaining

bribed: </span><br />

In Venezuelan elections, too many dead vote</h1>
March 28, 2015<br />
<br />
While U.S. and Latin American officials say that Venezuela’s
political crisis should be solved through upcoming legislative
elections, recent testimony before the U.S. Senate raised many
questions: It said Venezuela’s voting registry includes the names of so
many dead, many states have more registered voters than people.<br />
In
March 17 testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
Russ Dallen, editor in chief of the Caracas-based Latin American Herald
Tribune, said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government is
overseeing a voting process that almost guarantees electoral fraud in
the legislative elections tentatively scheduled for September.<br />

QUITO, Ecuador -- The head of Ecuador's electoral commission on Tuesday

Rafael Correa, a leftist candidate who is heading into a presidential

GEORGETOWN, Guyana — The party that has ruled Guyana for 21 years
took a substantial lead Tuesday in general elections, apparently
assuring it the presidency for the next five years.<br />
But all five
opposition parties charged that the Monday balloting was unfair. They
said authorized elections agents were refused entry or ejected from the
polls and that hundreds of voters were turned away because of
discrepancies in the voting lists.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">A MEMORANDUM to electoral observers was sent by the ruling People’s

the processing of thousands of votes cast by the Guyanese people on May

FRAUDULENT PROCESSING OF ELECTION VOTING RESULTS<br />
General and Regional Elections took place in Guyana on Monday, May 11th,
2015. Influenced by fairly extensive Reports of Irregularities by PPP/C
Polling Agents, the PPP/C made formal requests for recounts.<br />
At the GECOM Commissioners’ meeting held on Wednesday, May 13th, 2015,
the Chief Elections Officer, Mr. Keith Lowenfield, made a startling
disclosure about his findings about the Statement of Polls (SOPs).<br />
It would seem that fake Statement of Polls (SOPs) had been submitted to
the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) from the Electoral Districts.<br />
It was disclosed that these fake SOPs had layouts and formats different
from the authentic one earlier distributed by GECOM intended for use by
Polling Agents.<br />
Additionally, these fake SOPs did not carry the GECOM endorsement which had been applied to all the SPOs purchased from Canada.<br />
It was also observed that SOPs submitted to GECOM from the Electoral
Districts had aggregate numbers of voters exceeding the voting
population allocated to the Polling Stations.</span></h1>

In Chile, The Fraud Occurs Long Before The Balloting</h1>
</div>

<div class="mod-chitribarticletext mod-articletext" id="mod-a-body-first-para">
Under
Chile`s constitution, the junta headed by Gen. Augusto Pinochet is
required to present a presidential candidate to the electorate for a
yes-or-no plebiscite before February. The most likely candidate, to no
one`s surprise, is Pinochet himself, and the most likely time, sources
close to the junta and American experts on Chile agree, is between
September and December.<br />
When that occurs, poll watchers,
journalists and pundits from all over the world will gather in Santiago
for a few days on either side of the date of the plebiscite to give
their assessments of whether the balloting was free from fraud. Then
they will leave. But by treating the vote itself as the key moment to be
studied, journalists, politicians and advocates of democracy will miss a
crucial fact of Chilean <span class="vm-hook-outer vm-hook-default"><span class="vm-hook" style="border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 153, 0); color: #009900;">political</span></span> life: The fraud is happening now...<br />
<br /></div>
... This kind of suppression of legitimate <span class="vm-hook-outer vm-hook-default"><span class="vm-hook" style="border-color: transparent transparent rgb(0, 153, 0); color: #009900;">political</span></span>
activity combined with the oppression, torture and intimidation that is
an ongoing fact of life hardly creates ``a climate of free and fair
competition.``<br />
Finally, the lack of free and fair competition is
most telling in the control of television. Pinochet has unlimited access
to the three government- owned television stations in Chile. Every time
he makes a trip, opens a road or kisses a baby, he is covered like a
classic political candidate. The opposition, on the other hand, has
little or no financing and receives almost no news coverage. If Pinochet
makes a passing remark about the opposition or the ``risks`` of a
``No`` vote, television treats it as national news. But when the heads
of large political parties that have joined together to promote a ``No``
vote hold press conferences to discuss the repercussions of such a
vote, no one from the three television channels even attends...<br />

The
Chilean government on Monday rejected allegations of irregularity in
November 17 general elections, which involved the possible fraudulent
registration of supporters for two independent candidates who had
lost. “We don’t question the election, because everybody knows there are
agencies and time limits for disputing candidacies, and that did not
happen in the case of the two said candidates,” said government
spokeswoman Cecilia Perez. The election results “cannot be challenged,
there are no reasons to do so,” Perez said, adding any complaint should
have been presented to the Electoral Tribunal (Tricel) earlier. A press
report over the weekend questioned whether independent candidates Franco
Parisi and Tomas Jocelyn Holt, who obtained 10 percent and 0.16 percent
of the votes, respectively, obtained the minimum 35,000 signatures they
needed to run.<br />

Mauricio Macri’s surprisingly strong showing against Daniel Scioli in
the Oct. 25 presidential election shook up Argentina’s political
landscape.<br />
<br />
The main question before the election was whether Scioli, the candidate of president Cristina Fernández’s Front for Victory (<i>FPV</i>)
alliance, could gain enough votes to avoid a runoff election. Since
Scioli led many of the polls by more than 10 points over Macri, the
front-runner and mayor of Buenos Aires, the concern was whether he could
get either 45 percent of the vote or 40 percent and a 10-point
advantage over the second place candidate — the conditions necessary to
win in the first round without a runoff.<br />
<br />
Indeed, many pundits speculated that Macri would go the way of Mexico’s Andres Manuel López Obrador, claiming the <a href="http://themonkeycage.org/2012/07/post-election-report-ii-revisiting-fraud-and-the-2012-mexican-presidential-election/">election was stolen</a> from him.<br />

Robert Baer just made an incredibly important admission that for me
comes way too late, but still it’s good to know. The former CIA officer
admits he was given millions of dollars which he used successfully to
bribe politicians in Yugoslavia to betray their country’s interest.
Robert Baer describes how the US brought democracy to Yugoslavia by
destroying it.<br />
Of course, this policy financed by my tax dollars, didn’t benefit me
or my next door neighbors; but certain individuals in both the US and
Yugoslavia benefitted handsomely from the gambit. Oops, too bad about
those hundreds of thousands of lives; too bad about Srebrenica. So, now,
Robert Baer is trying to make amends, of sort, by exposing the whole
affair.<br />
Therefore, it is with this backdrop in mind, that I want to explore
how US policy can hurt multitudes of people, yet benefit a small clique,
and so, be deemed <i>“successful.”</i> US policy in Yugoslavia
literally wiped the country off the map. If you are not a peace and
justice kind of person, it could be said that the US policy to destroy
that country was effective and successful, despite the tremendous loss
of life that resulted. And now, the US is attempting to bring <i>“democracy”</i> to Haiti.<br />
Haiti is currently in the midst of an electoral crisis because the US
wants to dictate who the next president will be. In 2010, Secretary of
State <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Hillary Clinton </b></span>interfered in Haiti’s election results denying the
people their right of self-determination. According to the previous
(and now current) head of Haiti’s Presidential Electoral Commission
(EC), Pierre Louis Opont, the EC had prepared election results to be
publicized; those results were passed on to Cheryl Mills, the Chief of
Staff of then-Secretary Clinton. But, instead of announcing the two
winners, who would then compete in a runoff, Mills announced a
completely different result. Opont and the remaining Commission members
were shocked, but said or did nothing at the time and allowed the
fraudulent result to stand.<br />

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton’s Election Fraud In Puerto Rico Exposed…Polling Stations Reduced… </h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
</h1>
Bernie Sanders campaign officials and supporters are worried that a
series of problems, ranging from drastically reduced polling stations to
poll workers who can’t get certified, might be signs of voter
suppression or election fraud. Some of these problems wouldn’t just hurt
Sanders supporters, but could reduce everyone’s access to voting during
the primary. What exactly is happening? And is it some form of fraud or
voter suppression, or just a series of poor management decisions?<br />
Polling Stations in Puerto Rico Were Reduced from 1,510 to 432.<br />
<br />
In a decision that is disturbingly reminiscent of problems seen in
Arizona, polling locations in Puerto Rico were reduced from 1,510 to
432. On May 5, the Democratic Party announced there would be 1,510
polling places, according to Caribbean Business. The drastically reduced
number was announced on May 27, with the remaining locations being open
only for local voting and not the presidential primary. You can read a
discussion about the whole thing on this Reddit thread.<br />
<br />
Members of Sanders’ team began accusing the local Democratic Party of
fraud the day before the primary started, Caribbean Business reported.
(You can hear more about the polling location and certification problems
in the video above.)<br />
<br />
The problems began when prison inmates were voting and workers faced
strange “irregularities.” The Bernie Sanders officials could never get
certified, said Betsy Franceschini, Sanders’ Hispanic vote director. She
said they submitted all their officials in time, but none were
certified while all of Clinton’s were:<br />

May 16, 2016<br />
<br />
Jayson was a first-time voter in the Dominican Republic, or would
have been, if he’d had any intention of voting. Instead he was figuring
out how to turn his ballot card into cash.<br />
In the end, the
19-year-old said he got 1,000 pesos ($22) in return for surrendering the
ID during Sunday’s presidential election. Jayson had a Plan B to
solicit bids -- “I’ll go around with my card on my forehead” -- but
didn’t need to use it. His friend, Luis, 21, did even better. He said he
was paid about $28 to vote for the ruling Dominican Liberation Party:
“I took the money but then I just voted for who I wanted anyway.’’<br />
<br />
As
President Danilo Medina cruised toward re-election, with 62 percent of
the vote according to early counts, opposition parties were crying fraud
-- in fact, almost everyone was. Across the country and the political
spectrum, candidates said buying of ID cards and votes was rife. Local
TV stations showed transactions under way right in front of polling
stations.<br />

In the weeks before the vote, which had been scheduled for Feb. 14, some analysts were saying that Buhari could win.<br />
But
Jonathan’s national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, began arguing that
the election should be delayed because too many people had not collected
their voter cards. And when the nation’s electoral commission flatly
rejected that idea, Jonathan’s national security agency made another
argument, saying in a letter signed by Nigeria’s military chiefs that
security for the election “could not be guaranteed” because of an
impending six-week operation against Boko Haram. On Feb. 7, the
electoral commission <a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2015/02/nigerias-postponed-election">postponed the vote</a>. <br />

For decades, Egypt’s legislative elections were dominated by the NDP,
which won most elections by landslide margins, but always amid
allegations of vote-rigging, fraud and state-sponsored violence at the
polls.<br />
<br />
Amy Hamzawy, a liberal candidate running in a mostly middle-class
suburb in northern Cairo, said that remnants of Mubarak’s “corrupt
system” remain.<br />
Egypt still has a vibrant marketplace of “vote-traders,” he wrote this
week in a local newspaper, who can buy blocs of votes for any candidate...<br />
<br />
... Many Egyptian nongovernmental groups monitoring the election said that
they too were denied any real authority to intervene in the event of
fraud...<br />

Election fraud charges bring Senegal democracy under scrutiny

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Senegal's main opposition leader was in court recently, charged with
inciting riots after February's disputed presidential election.
Abdoulaye Wade argued that the court had no jurisdiction over him since
he is Senegal's true president. Socialist Party incumbent Abdou Diouf
stole the election through fraud, the opposition leader claimed...</span></span></h1>
... The 1988 campaign was a bitter one, with the candidates exchanging
personal attacks and the opposition expressing outrage at the
government's refusal to rewrite the electoral laws, which it says favor
the ruling party.<br />
``There has been fraud in all elections since
independence, and with Diouf there is more fraud yet,'' said Landing
Savane, a left-wing presidential candidate.<br />
Idrissa Seck, Wade's
campaign manager, complained that the Socialists had more access to the
media than the opposition, that secret voting was not compulsory, and
that Socialist Party personnel at the polls refused to give voting cards
to opposition supporters.<br />
Mr. Seck also claimed that the Senegalese Democratic Party has proof that Wade won 56 percent of the vote.<br />
``The results were fabricated by the ministry of the interior,'' Seck said.<br />
``...
Mr. Wade was thrown in jail to prevent him from challenging the
results'' during the legally prescribed two days after they have been
confirmed by the supreme court.<br />
The Socialists say opposition claims are just sour grapes...<br />

in the West African country, which has a history of political violence,
including at the 2010 election that brought Conde to power.<br />
<br />
Conde,
who rose to power in a military coup, is favored to win a second term,
although the result from Sunday's vote may be close enough to require a
second round. Early results announced by radio stations so far showed
Conde in the lead.<br />
<br />
<br />
...The opposition candidates, including the main
opposition leader, Cellou Dalein Diallo, told a news conference that
there were numerous examples of fraud in the election.<br />
Diallo
said voters registered this year in the city of Labe in central Guinea
received no voting cards and only those who voted in 2010 could cast
their ballots on Sunday.<br />
<br />
"The
election was a masquerade which started yesterday and still continues
today at the central (election) commission level. In these conditions,
we again demand that the election be scrapped because we cannot
recognize results issued through this process," Diallo said.<br />
"We
have the right to protest. We will do it. That must be clearly
understood," he said, in a declaration that appeared to stop short of
calling his supporters into the streets.<br />
Two people were killed and at least 33 were wounded in Guinea on Friday in clashes between Conde and Diallo's supporters...</span> <br /><br />

Evidence Grows in Liberia of Vote Fraud by Regime</h1>
</div>
<span class="pubdate"><a href="http://articles.latimes.com/1985/oct/23">October 23, 1985</a></span><br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Evidence is mounting here that the Liberian government of Samuel K.
Doe is engineering a large-scale election fraud in order to remain in
power in this West African nation.</span></span></h1>
Last Tuesday, approximately
one-third of Liberia's 2.1 million people spent hours standing through
the heat of the day to cast ballots in what was billed as the first
truly free election in Liberia's 138-year history.<br />
<br />
A week later,
many Liberians are expressing a mixture of anger and frustration at
continuing charges that Doe's supporters are involved in skullduggery
apparently aimed at extending his rule.<br />
An element of suspense has
also entered into the political picture--not so much over the outcome
of the election, but over how the Liberian electorate will respond to a
result that so many feel has been clumsily and obviously rigged...<br />
<br />
<br />
There is also a growing feeling of suspense about how the United
States will react when the results are announced. Washington heavily
pressured Doe to hold the election in the first place.<br />
The United
States is the leading donor of aid to Liberia, but Congress has ruled
that further appropriations for the country are dependent on "free and
fair elections" and a return to civilian rule.<br />
One of the leading
opposition party candidates met Tuesday with U.S. Ambassador Edward
Perkins. The substance of their conversation could not be learned.<br />
Doe,
a former master sergeant in the Liberian army, led 17 fellow
noncommissioned officers in a 1980 coup that overthrew the civilian
government of President William R. Tolbert Jr., whom Doe's forces then
killed.<br />
Opposition Liberian political figures say they are
concerned about how the public might react to a patently bogus election
result. They will not be specific about their fears but are apparently
worried about anti-government demonstrations to which the regime would
respond with force.<br />
"It is becoming an outlaw situation now," an
opposition party leader said. "We can't protect ourselves. We are up
against the government, against people who are armed."<br />
The most
recent revelation to fuel the suspicions of Liberian voters is evidence,
delivered to several Western embassies Monday, that ballots marked for
Doe's three opponents in the presidential race had been burned at a
village 60 miles outside Monrovia. This apparently occurred after trucks
bringing the ballot boxes from up-county opposition party strongholds
were diverted by lieutenants of Doe's National Democratic Party of
Liberia (NDPL).<br />
Newspapers have published photographs of the
charred ballots, which opposition parties say were replaced with ballots
marked for Doe. Usually reliable political observers supported claims
by political parties opposed to Doe that ballot boxes were stuffed with
ballots marked by Doe supporters.<br />
"We have independent
confirmation," said one of them, who spoke on condition that he not be
identified, "that Liberia Action Party votes were taken out and stuffed
with NDPL ballots..."<br />

Reports of suspiciously high turnout – even exceeding 100 percent – as

every presidential election since 1992. Accusations have ranged from
ballot stuffing and record falsification to illegal voting by minors and
foreign nationals (generally from neighboring Togo). </span></h1>

Impact of Polling Station Observers on Electoral Fraud in Ghana</h1>
</div>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;">... Ghana’s government has operated as multi-party, democratic, and
civilian-led since 1992. It is a closely contested two-party system,
with the ‘New Patriotic Party’ (NPP) and the ‘National Democratic
Congress’ (NDC) alternating executive power. Elections in the country
have historically been extremely close; the margins of victory have been
quite small relative to the size of the voting population.<a href="http://cega.berkeley.edu/evidence/impact-of-polling-station-observers-on-electoral-fraud-in-ghana/#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="">[iii]</a><sup>,<a href="http://cega.berkeley.edu/evidence/impact-of-polling-station-observers-on-electoral-fraud-in-ghana/#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="">[iv]</a></sup> Incentivized
in part by the narrowness of election outcomes, electoral misconduct is
not uncommon. Whereas there are multiple points at the electoral
process where fraud may transpire, some of the most concerted efforts to
curb fraud have occurred at the polling station level...</span></h1>

Benin Awaits Election Results as Fraud Allegations Mount </h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1>
<i>Benin is awaiting results from presidential elections, as
allegations of fraud are mounting. Sunday's vote started in confusion
when the outgoing president said the process was lacking in
transparency, but so far there is little evidence of any wrongdoing.</i> <i> </i><br />
Officials from Benin's national elections commission say results from
the first round vote are likely to be handed over to the constitutional
court late Thursday or early Friday.<br />
But in the days since Sunday's presidential election, fraud
allegations that dogged the process even before the country's four
million voters went to the polls continue to grow, threatening to
tarnish Benin's image as a bastion of stable democracy in the region.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 2011, the Independent Electoral Commission of Benin organized a new
electronic voting system for the upcoming presidential election, which
would require voters to be pre-registered in order to fill out their
ballots. The Commission registered people by going door to door in 77
different Beninese counties. This method didn’t prove to be effective
enough however, as around 1.3 million Beninese citizens were still not
registered to vote. Many questioned the credibility of the voters role
when such a large number of voters were unregistered by the end of
February (close to election time). The election was originally going to
be held on 27 February, followed by a second round on 23 March if
necessary. </span></span></h1>

Niger: opposition parties rejects election results</h1>
3-24-2016<br />
<br />
Niger opposition parties have rejected the final round of the
country’s presidential and legislative elections that took place on
Sunday citing fraud.<br />
Niger’s electoral commission released results on Tuesday showing
that President Mahamadou Issoufou received more than 92 percent of the
runoff vote. <br />
His rival Hama Amadou received less than 8 percent of the vote,
which saw a low turnout after the opposition called for a boycott.<br />
<br />
The candidates from the opposition parties in a statement have
challenged any attempts by the incumbent President Mahamadou Issoufou to
claim victory.<br />
They have also accused the government of voter intimidation and warned of false results. <br />
News24 reports that voter participation was a crucial issue in the
Sunday’s runoff election following the opposition’s boycott call and the
dramatic evacuation to France of Issoufou’s challenger, Hama Amadou.<br />
<br />
“The people of Niger have massively rejected this sham of an election,” said the <span class="caps">COPA</span> 2016 opposition coalition.<br />
The group claimed the voter turnout was a mere 11% nationwide, against the official estimate of 56%. <br />
“The people responded positively to the boycott appeal,” the
coalition statement said, calling on Issoufou to “draw the consequences
of the people’s will.”<br />

Charges of fraud in Cameroon election</h1>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">

<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Opposition candidates Monday accused
election officials of fraud and voting irregularities after Sunday's
presidential election in Cameroon.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
The
charges came from at least three candidates who campaigned against
President Paul Biya, including the main opposition candidate John Fru
Ndi of the Social Democratic Front, who said fake indelible ink used for
marking voters' fingers was distributed to polling stations. Similar
charges came from Jean Jacque Ekindi and Dr. George Nyamndi Dobgima.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Complaints also came from voters.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Valokossa
Mohamadou, 29, showed CNN how he was able to remove ink from his thumb
using saliva, minutes after voting in Yaounde, the capital. Easily
removable ink opens up the possibility of people voting multiple times

<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Ndula Bertin said her name was missing from the list at a polling station.</div>

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The election took place on July 22, and concluded peacefully, with no
official reports of violence, but there were small incidents such as
that in Magba, north of the capital Yaounde, where an attempt was made
by opposition supporters to burn ballot boxes in protest of the
election corruption <a href="http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?articleid=314746&area=/breaking_news/breaking_news__africa/" target="_blank">[4]</a>.

Additionally, Cameroonians reported that electoral cards were
distributed to minors and to those who had not picked theirs up,
artificially increasing the number of people who voted. Citizens also
reported that certain voters were denied ballot cards, particularly
those presumed to support the opposition party <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6910434.stm" target="_blank">[6]</a>.
In addition to the ballot fraud, it has been made known that the
indelible ink used to mark the hands of those who have already voted
was not, in fact, permanent. Consequently, people could wash their
hands and then return to the polls to cast multiple votes. </span></span></h1>

Political repression and human rights abuses across Sudan - in addition
to widespread logistical failures and technical irregularities - marred
Sudan's first multi-party elections in more than 20 years, Human Rights
Watch said today. Sudanese authorities should urgently investigate the
human rights violations and bring those responsible to justice, Human
Rights Watch said.<br />
<br />
<br />
The re-election of President Omar al-Bashir, announced April 26, 2010,
has no legal effect on the International Criminal Court charges pending
against him, Human Rights Watch said. In March 2009, the court issued an
arrest warrant for al-Bashir on charges of war crimes and crimes
against humanity for his role in crimes committed in Darfur.<br />
<br />
"Our concerns with these elections go beyond technical irregularities,"
said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "Political
oppression and human rights violations undermined the freedom and
fairness of the vote all over Sudan."<br />
<br />
During the national elections, from April 11 through 15, international
and domestic election observers reported widespread logistical and
administrative problems, irregularities, and allegations of fraud,
including multiple-voting and ballot-stuffing. The process was
especially chaotic in the south, with serious irregularities reported in
most states.<br />
<br />
In northern states, Human Rights Watch found that the National Congress
Party-dominated government continued to foster a restrictive environment
during the voting period through harassment, intimidation, and arrests
of activists, opposition members, and election observers.
<br />
Human Rights Watch documented fewer cases of restrictions of political
rights than in preceding months, but police and security officers
continued to commit rights violations. Repressive laws also remained in
place, contrary to requirements under the 2005 Comprehensive Peace
Agreement, which ended the civil war and brought the Sudan People's
Liberation Movement, former southern rebels, into a national unity
government.

Kenya election officials charged over faulty vote count equipment</h1>
<span class="timestamp">Oct 30, 2013</span><br />
<br />
The chief
executive of Kenya's electoral commission was charged on Wednesday over a
$15 million tender for equipment that was meant to prevent vote fraud
during March's presidential election but broke down during the count.<br />
<br />
The
new technology was aimed at avoiding the violent disputes that led to
1,200 deaths after the election five years ago. Previous votes in Kenya
have also been dogged by "ghost" voters, stuffed ballot boxes and

Kibaki 'stole' Kenyan election through vote-rigging and fraud</h1>
22 January 2008<br />
<br />
<br />
Systematic electoral fraud including vote-rigging in a third of all
constituencies, stuffed ballot boxes and election officials changing
results had a decisive impact on the outcome of the Kenyan elections, an
investigation by The Independent can reveal.<br />
In 88 of the 210
constituencies, turnout was at least 1,000 votes higher in the
presidential election than in the parliamentary poll conducted at the
same time. This amounted to a total of 380,944 votes, considerably more
than President Mwai Kibaki's winning margin of 231,728. Even when
suspect voting practices in opposition candidate Raila Odinga's
strongholds are accounted for, the extra votes for Mr Kibaki total about
350,000.<br />

<br />
Polling irregularities, plus criticisms that the electoral commission
is weighted towards Yoweri Museveni, could make a mockery of democracy
in Uganda.<br />
<br />
Uganda’s national electoral commission (EC) is once again under
intense scrutiny after a messy presidential election that effectively
locked out hundreds of thousands of voters in opposition strongholds –
to the benefit of <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/yoweri-museveni">Yoweri Museveni</a>, the incumbent.<br />
Museveni, <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/13/uganda-challenger-museveni-president-besigye">in power for the past 30 years</a>, campaigned on a slogan of “Steady progress”, but, according to many observers, <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" draggable="true" href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2016/feb/17/uganda-election-fear-political-violence-yoweri-museveni-kizza-besigye-amama-mbabazi">Thursday’s election</a> reeked of democratic stagnation or even regression.<br />
<br />
More than Museveni’s widely expected victory, the shambolic exercise has
raised questions about the efficacy of elections as a means of choosing
leaders in post-military political systems...<br />
<br />
... Mbabazi cited <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://allafrica.com/stories/201602220312.html">several irregularities</a>,
including alleged marking of ballot papers in favour of Museveni,
inaccurate tallying by presiding officers, concealment of results
declaration forms and <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.observer.ug/news-headlines/42676-one-voter-s-futile-attempt-to-vote">late arrival of election materials at polling stations</a>.<br />
The latter was the most eye-catching and inexplicable flaw,
especially because it mostly affected opposition strongholds in
districts around the capital, Kampala, and key municipalities. <br />
These are highly urban areas where, according to opinion polls,
Besigye had his highest approval ratings and Museveni his lowest. <br />
In some polling stations within 4km of the headquarters of the
electoral commission, voting started as much as five or six hours late.
This led to suspicion by voters – and statements by party leaders – that
the flaw was a ploy by authorities to disenfranchise predominantly
opposition voters...<br />

Zambia presidential challenger alleges election fraud</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;">Zambian presidential challenger Hakainde Hichilema alleged election
fraud on Friday, accusing poll officials and the ruling party of
colluding over delayed results in the neck-and-neck race.</span></h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></h1>
The allegations by Hichilema are set to further stoke tensions
between supporters of his United Party for National Development (UPND)
and those of President Edgar Lungu’s Patriotic Front (PF).<br />
Zambia is known for its relative stability, but the election campaign
was marked by weeks of clashes between the rival groups, with at least
three people killed in the run-up to Thursday’s vote.<br />
“The ECZ (Electoral Commission of Zambia) is somehow conniving… to
delay the release of results so that PF thugs armed with guns take over
the polling stations at night and write fake results,” Hichilema told
reporters in Lusaka.<br />
“They are trying to generate the results.”<br />
Hichilema, a wealthy businessman who is making his fifth attempt to
win the presidency, narrowly lost a snap election to Lungu last year by
less than 28,000 votes.<br />
This year, he alleged that his campaign was suppressed by the
authorities banning his rallies, arresting party leaders and through
biased state media coverage.<br />
Election day — which saw nine candidates run for president — was
peaceful, with Zambian officials repeatedly issuing calls for calm to
try to avoid a violent reaction to the results.<br />
Early results were due to be announced on Friday afternoon, but were
delayed several times until they started to trickle in during the
evening.<br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="up"></a><b><a href="http://www.afrol.com/">afrol News</a>, 9 December </b> - <span class="introduction">The
presidential elections in Mozambique are turning into the same pattern
as the controversial 1999 poll as opposition leader Afonso Dhlakama
today again alleged "massive fraud" and demanded a re-run. Large delays
in the final and national tabulation process, where international
observers have been excluded, raised the suspicions.
</span><br />
International election observers for more
than one month have urged the National Electoral Commission (CNE) to
let them oversee the entire election process, including the final and
national tabulation process organised by the CNE in Maputo. If not
admitted to this final phase, observers would be prevented from
"certifying the results as representing the will of the electorate," the
Carter Centre warned earlier this week.<br />
<br />
The threat of a repetition of the controversial 1999 poll became true
today. The CNE was expected to publish the results from last week's poll
several days ago, but the national tabulation process is going slowly.
Already yesterday, Vaughan Lewis, heading the Commonwealth election
observers' team in Mozambique, warned that further delay in counting
would lead to suspicions about the process. <br />
<br />
Today, Mr Dhlakama - leader of the RENAMO opposition party and main
challenger to the ruling party's presidential candidate - said he had
sufficient evidence to allege "massive fraud" in the election counting
process. <br />
<br />
So far, the CNE has refused to publish any figures, saying the final
results of the poll were to be announced on 17 December. Initial
unofficial results, however, have suggested that Armando Guebuza- the
candidate of the ruling FRELIMO party - is far ahead of Mr Dhlakama. <br />
<br />
The RENAMO leader late on Wednesday withdrew his party's observers from
the tabulation process at regional counting centres in Mozambique. He
alleged manipulations to the software used to tabulate the votes,
claiming that passwords to computers containing a database of results
had been altered. <br />
<br />
Consequently, the CNE stopped the counting process. Late today, the CNE
however announced that the tabulation had been resumed due to
negotiations with RENAMO. Antonio Carrasco, the technical leader of the
CNE, told the press in Maputo that the problem had not been of a
technological manner or related to fraud, but "serious problems of
misunderstanding" by the RENAMO leadership. <br />
<br />
- However, these problems have slowly been overcome, said Mr Carrasco.
The CNE official criticised RENAMO for "creating obstacles" to the
counting process. These "misunderstandings" by the opposition would
result in another two to three days delay of the publication of the
election results, he added.<br />

Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe election victory was a 'masterclass in electoral fraud'</h1>
<div class="intro">
2 August 2013<br />
<br />
Opponents claim Zanu-PF conned its way to power – rather than taking it by force.<br />
<br /></div>
... This is much more subtle than past poll fixes, when ZANU-PF literally
muscled out its opponents. By 2008, when Tsvangirai won the first round
of the presidential election but was forced to withdraw after an
outbreak of violence by Mugabe henchmen, this method was looking too
crude.<br />
“When Mugabe used violence in 2008, he lost legitimacy, so
he found to find other ways to win,” said Pedzisai Ruhanya, from the
Zimbabwe Democracy Institute, a Harare-based think tank.“What we have
seen is a masterclass in electoral fraud. It is chicanery, organised
theft and electoral authoritarianism.”<br />
<br />
Crucially, being
violence-free earned the election a qualified thumbs up from electoral
observers from neighbouring African nations. Yesterday, the head of the
African Union’s 70-member mission, Olusegun Obasanjo, hailed the
peaceful voting while downplaying other incidences, saying they were not
enough to affect the overall result...<br />

ALLEGED VOTER INTIMIDATION, RIGGING CLOUD NAMIBIAN ELECTION CAMPAIGN </h1>

<h3 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;">... </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The allegations have also raised serious questions about the
effectiveness of the 4,650-man U.N. peace-keeping force here. UNTAG has
been monitoring the election process since it started April 1. Many of
Namibia's 1.1 million blacks, who comprise 90 percent of the population,
incorrectly perceive the UNTAG police and military forces as being
responsible for maintaining law and order during the transition period.
In fact, under the peace agreement that evolved out of U.N. Security
Council Resolution 435, the U.N. peace-keepers can do little more than
monitor the activities of the territorial police and report their
findings to U.N. officials in New York. The South African-led
territorial police, fiercely loyal to the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance
party that has ruled <b>Namibia </b>under Pretoria's guidance for the past four
years, will continue to enforce the law until independence, which could
take months after the constituent assembly election. In the Joseph
case, the local UNTAG police force did respond to the pleas of his
neighbors to try to save him. But, according to the unit commander,
Netherlands Army Maj. Jan van der Weerd, the territorial police at first
refused to allow his men inside Joseph's shanty. In any case, he said,
Joseph was already dead. When asked for his conclusions about the
killing, van der Weerd said, "I monitor, I don't make conclusions. We
can report them {the police}, but we can't stop them. We can only report
their behavior." While van der Weerd's interpretation of UNTAG's
limitations under Resolution 435 is correct, the shooting of Joseph and
allegations of U.N. indifference to other alleged incidents of police
excesses and intimidation have drawn the U.N. peace-keepers into the
middle of the election campaign as a focal issue. SWAPO officials
complain that U.N. special representative Martti Ahtisaari should adopt a
more forceful position against police intimidation and alleged South
African election rigging and bring more international pressure on
Pretoria to guarantee a free and fair vote. "The registration process is
increasingly being rigged. It will definately influence the outcome of
the election," complained Hidipo Hamutenya, SWAPO's director of
mobilization and information. He added, "UNTAG just is not keen to
investigate. They do not want any fights. They are running away from the
issues." Hamutenya said Koevoet units in armored vehicles routinely
raid villages in northern Namibia's strongly pro-SWAPO Ovamboland,
ostensibly searching for SWAPO "terrorists" who returned from Angola
under an amnesty program. While making their search, he said, the
Koevoet members often beat up villagers and warn them not to vote
against the Turnhalle party. SWAPO officials and independent election
monitors also complained that government election officials routinely
refuse to register voters from known pro-SWAPO areas because of slight
irregularities in their application forms or because they produce church
birth certificates instead of those issued by hospitals. The monitors
point out that most rural Namibians are not born in hospitals, and that
church certificates are all that they can produce. However, Hishan
Omayad, UNTAG's director of elections, said that only 300 people out of
the 540,000 voters registered so far have been refused registration and
that U.N. registration monitors are "exercising their broad powers of
discretion very effectively" in enrolling voters. There have also been
repeated allegations -- so far largely unsupported by hard evidence --
that up to 40,000 Angolan nationals have been issued identity cards and
are being brought across the border to register and vote for the
Turnhalle party. SWAPO's Hamutenya alleged in an interview that
"foreigners" from the southern Angola bush headquarters of the South
African-backed National Union for the Total Independence of Angola
(UNITA) have been trucked across the border to register, although
neither UNTAG officials nor independent monitors were able to describe
any specific sightings of such border crossings. Omayad, the UNTAG
elections director, denied that any Angolans crossing the border
recently had been registered...</span></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">Whoever stuffed the ballot boxes in the Zulu strongholds of northern Natal last week did a good job--too good perhaps.</span></h1>
"There
were sealed ballot boxes in which there were 3,000-odd votes, and all
the ballots were neatly stacked up inside," explained John Wills, a
lawyer and election observer in Empangeni. "It's physically impossible
if people are voting one by one."<br />
Wills also found "widespread
indications" of voters casting ballots under the legal age of 18, and
scores of full ballot boxes "coming from polling stations that didn't
officially exist," he said in a telephone interview Thursday.<br />
<br />
Growing
evidence of other polling abuses, compounded by computer sabotage,
communications snafus and mind-boggling confusion, has begun to tarnish
the golden glow of South Africa's historic all-race election. Six days
after the counting began, there are still no certified results to back
African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela's claim of victory
Monday as the nation's first black president.<br />
<br />
Instead, counting and reporting of returns--which stopped for 32 hours
Tuesday and Wednesday--stalled again all day Thursday as outside
auditors and computer experts swarmed into offices of the Independent
Electoral Commission in hopes of sorting out what increasingly appears a
case of poor planning, chaotic administration and inadequate
safeguards.<br />

Opposition parties have welcomed the Constitutional Court’s decision
to set aside the controversial by-elections results in Tlokwe, which it
has found were not free and fair.<br />
With few months left before the
local government elections, the opposition parties have demanded that a
transparent and open mechanism be put in place to safeguard the
integrity of the elections. <br />
The Constitutional Court on Monday
set aside the by-elections conducted on September 12, 2013, in ward 18
and on December 10, 2013 in wards one, four, 11, 12, 13 and 20.<br />
The
case was reportedly brought by eight unsuccessful candidates, who had
complained about the voter registration process, including a delay in
receiving the segments of the national voter’s roll which did not
include residential addresses for any of the voters, rendering it
difficult, if not impossible for candidates to find, visit and canvas
voters.
The independent candidates included former ANC councilors expelled in
July 2013 for participating in removing ANC mayor Maphetle Maphetle...<br />

Bulgaria to elect new parliament in the wake of wiretapping and vote-rigging scandals</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> May 12, 2013</span></h1>
... Bulgaria has been led by a caretaker government since February, when
Boiko Borisov, who guided his Citizens for Bulgaria's European
Development party to victory in 2009, resigned as prime minister amid
sometimes violent protests against poverty, high utility bills and
corruption.<br />
The ex-ruling party has seen its reputation tarnished
further since prosecutors alleged that former Interior Minister Tsvetan
Tsvetanov was responsible for illegally eavesdropping on political
opponents during his term. Media leaks have also fueled suspicion that
Borisov may have tried to interfere with the case.<br />
<br />
But perhaps more than anything, Borisov's party may
struggle to win the public's confidence due to economic issues. Six
years after Bulgaria's entry into the European Union, the Balkan state
of 7.3 million remains the bloc's poorest member.<br />
<br />
Bulgarians have been angry over austerity measures
designed to reduce public debt, which have meant cuts in health care and
education programs.<br />
Many Bulgarians feel squeezed by low wages — the
lowest in the EU at 400 euros ($524) a month — and relentless inflation.
They feel betrayed by promises that joining the EU would bring them a
better life. Now, more than 22 percent of the people live below the
official poverty line.<br />
According to official statistics, the unemployment
rate is 12 percent, but experts suggest that the real rate is more than
18 percent.<br />
<br />
Allegations of vote-rigging that have accompanied
elections in the past prompted five major former opposition parties to
seek an independent vote count; the first such count since 1990 will be
conducted by the Austrian agency SORA. More than 250 international
observers will be monitoring Sunday's election.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, prosecutors stormed a printing house and seized 350,000 ballots that were printed over the legally fixed number.<br />
<br />
The country's president urged Bulgarians to vote in
large numbers to counter possible vote-buying practices that could
influence the outcome of the race.<br />
"As many as the scenarios may be, these do not stand
any chance against millions of Bulgarians who can cast their votes for
their own country and its future," Rosen Plevneliev said after casting
his ballot...<br />

You might not look twice if you saw a
politician in your pub ordering a drink, but what about if they were
trying to buy votes? Sadly, such a scenario might not be surprising to
people living in one village in Bulgaria.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Ahead of the 2014 Bulgarian parliamentary election, <a href="http://www.transparency.bg/en/" target="_blank">Transparency International Bulgaria</a> received a call from a concerned citizen about a vote-buying scheme targeting the minority Roma population in a small village.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
According to the witness, a local pub
owner was selected by a political party to coordinate the scheme in this
village. Each person who voted for the political party would reportedly
receive US$40.00-55.00 per vote. The catch was that the pub owner had
to ensure the political party would win in that village. If they didn’t
win, the money wouldn’t be paid out.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable">
Transparency International Bulgaria
immediately alerted law enforcement authorities. The regional police
department initiated an investigation, successfully targeting the
perpetrators to ensure the scheme would fail and not interfere with the
election – which was only a matter of days away.</div>

Prosecutors Confirm Massive Voting Fraud Attempt in Bulgaria</h1>

<div id="textsize">
Bulgarian prosecutors have confirmed that there was indeed an attempt for large-scale <b>election <b>fraud</b></b> ahead of the country’s key Parliament vote on Sunday.<br />
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office of Cassation has told bTV that the questionable <b>ballots</b> seized in a <b><b>printing</b> house</b> on Saturday were not “<b>printing</b> spoilage”, as the <b><b>printing</b> house</b>’s owner had claimed.<br />
<br />
A scandal erupted on the eve of the election day, as local authorities stormed a <b><b>printing</b> house</b> and seized 350,000 <a href="http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=150260" target="_blank">illegally printed <b>ballots</b></a> just hours before the vote.<br />
The questionable <b>ballots</b> were seized from the premises of
Multiprint, the company commissioned by the government to print the
official election ballots. The company had to print and deliver all <b>ballots</b> to the district administrations by May 8.<br />
<br />
Multiprint is owned by a municipal councilor from the center-right <b>GERB</b> party.<br />
The owner, Yordan Bonchev, insisted that the said <b>ballots</b> had to be discarded over <b>printing</b> flaws and had to be kept in sealed packages at the <b><b>printing</b> house</b> as the public tender rules postulated.<br />
On Sunday, however, prosecutors confirmed that the seized <b>ballots</b> were ready to be brought out and transported. They said they had discovered the actual <b>printing</b> spoilage in the <b>printing</b> house.<br />
Bulgarian opposition leaders stated on Saturday that the confiscated <b>ballots</b> were part of an attempted <b>election <b>fraud</b></b> by the <b>GERB</b> party of former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov. <b>GERB</b> has denied the accusations.<br />
<br />
Bulgarians are voting in a tight snap election in which no party is
expected to win a majority to form a government. Recent opinion polls
indicate that <b>GERB</b> and the Bulgarian Socialist Party are nearly tied.</div>

The Greek Elections and the EU Bailout: From Hope to Fear and Despair. Greece’s National Wealth For Sale</h2>
<h3 class="subtitle">
January and September 2015</h3>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1>
<i>Eight months will have passed since the election of Syriza
onJanuary 25 up to the snap elections in September. During that time
Syriza’s leaders <span style="text-decoration: underline;">play-acted</span> their ‘opposition to austerity’ and then knelt down in submission to the ‘Troika’.</i><br />
The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">contrast</span> between
January and now is dramatic: Syriza’s leader, Prime Minister Alexi
Tsipras, aroused joy and great hope among the Greek voters with his
promises to end Greece’s subjugation to the European oligarchs (the “<i>Troika</i>”) but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">now</span>
convokes snap elections exploiting the pervasive fear and misery among
the population. Greeks confront a future of even greater impoverishment
and despair with an entire generation bound up and delivered to forty
years of debt slavery and colonial subjugation by their elected Syriza
leaders.<br />
In January, Syriza swept into office on its promise of ‘<i>change</i>’ without specifics. ‘<i>Change’</i> turned out to be an empty slogan. Changes did take place: Changes for the worse! Since his election, Tsipras<span style="text-decoration: underline;">emptied</span>
the Greek Treasury to pay the EU bankers; stripped pension and
municipal funds to meet IMF obligations and, worse yet, he allowed the
flight of over 40 billion Euros to be transferred from Greek banks to
overseas accounts – essentially de-capitalizing the financial system.<br />
The linguistic <span style="text-decoration: underline;">perversion</span> of “<i>change</i>”
was not the worst of Syriza’s contribution to the corruption and
discredit of the European left. Its slavish pillage of the economy
shocked and confused the impoverished Greek majority. The voters had
expected Syriza and its radical phrasemongers to do the opposite – to
save the national economy and lead the country!<br />
For a while Tsipras’s submission and betrayal was disguised by his theatrical poses of the ‘<i>tough negotiator’</i> with the German bankers. His perpetual boyish grin, frozen on his face, as if to reassure his followers: “<i>You <span style="text-decoration: underline;">can</span> trust me. I will make sure Madame Merkel and company do not shove another bristly cucumber up your backsides!”</i> Tsipras feigned resistance before the bankers, setting a stylistic template for other Syriza legislators, who likewise ‘<i>protested and submitted’</i>. They too came to believe that ‘their efforts’ (and not their results) deserved public approval!<br />
Between February and April, Tsipras endured stern lectures from his
overlords in the EU, returning to Greece with his silly grin and empty
pockets.<br />
Tsipras did everything possible to distract, to entertain, to bluster and deceive Syriza’s befuddled supporters.<br />
Tsipras resorted to radical rhetoric, empty gestures and verbal defiance.<br />
His emotional outburst were just ‘<i>hollow farts’</i> <i>(kfes pourdes</i> in demotic Greek) in the poetic language of an insightful, indignant grandmother whose pension had been cut by 40%!<br />
<i>Syriza bent and broke before the predictable intransigence of
their German overlords and their 28 rubber-stamping, vassal states. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Syriza got nothing</span> and worse. The more they talked, the less they achieved…</i><br />
<i>Tsipras broke the Greek financial system and then declared defeat, but not before mounting <span style="text-decoration: underline;">one more grand electoral fraud</span>. Syriza announced a popular ‘<span style="text-decoration: underline;">referendum</span>’ on the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">EU dictates</span> and 61% of the Greek voters said ‘no’ to the EU demands. But Tsipras immediately<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> said yes</span>!</i><br />
Tsipras accepted the complete sell-off –-‘privatization’– of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> the strategic, lucrative, major and minor public enterprises, properties and sources of Greek national wealth.<br />

Greg Palast on US Election Fraud and Neoliberalism Gone Amok in Latin America and Greece
</h2>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="itemDateCreated">27 June 2016</span></span></h1>
Bestselling author and investigative journalist Greg Palast is no
stranger to electoral shenanigans. Through an extensive investigation of
the elimination of tens of thousands of largely low-income and voters
of color from the electoral rolls in Florida prior to the 2000
presidential elections, Palast uncovered the ways in which electoral
outcomes -- and democracy itself -- are increasingly manipulated by
powerful interests in the United States.<br />
Palast is also no stranger to neoliberal shenanigans, having
investigated the actions of institutions such as the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, and the destructive effects of
the austerity policies that they have promoted. In this exclusive
interview, Palast discusses both of the above issues, including his
upcoming crowdfunded documentary on election theft in the US, and the
destructive effects of neoliberalism in Latin America, Puerto Rico and
Greece.<br />

on Sunday, power outages forced some voting centers to count votes by
candlelight. Accusations of election fraud ran rampant, especially in
the closely-watched races in the capital. In an attempt to ease voter
worry, Turkey’s Energy Minister Taner Yıldız has now come forward with a
culprit for the power cuts: a cat. </div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text">
“I am not joking, friends,” he <a data-beacon="{"p":{"mnid":"entry_text","lnid":"citation","mpid":2,"plid":"http://gulfnews.com/news/world/other-world/turkey-s-opposition-to-contest-ankara-local-poll-result-1.1312353"}}" href="http://gulfnews.com/news/world/other-world/turkey-s-opposition-to-contest-ankara-local-poll-result-1.1312353" target="_hplink">said</a>,

The statement prompted widespread ridicule and anger among Turks who
are increasingly at odds with controversial Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan and his ruling party. The local elections were widely seen as a
referendum on Erdogan’s 11-year rule, and the party emerged victorious
despite months of anti-government protests and a dramatic corruption
scandal that appeared to implicate Erdogan in fraud. Many Turks are
skeptical about the power outages that occurred in major city centers,
with some people alleging that the government tampered with vote
counting.<br />

<br />
November 3, 2015</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As news of irregularities comes in, Michael Rubin of AEI summed up
the problems at Commentary:
Turkish political analysts attribute Erdoğan’s cheating quotient at
around 5 percent — that takes into account stuffed ballots, shenanigans
on the state-run Turkish Airlines as it transports ballots from abroad,
disappeared ballot boxes from opposition-run towns and districts, and
pretty much everything involving the mayor of Ankara. In the case of
Sunday’s elections, it appears that Erdoğan’s AKP won the votes of
hundreds of thousands of dead people.
Given the history of fraud in Turkey’s elections, that this one was
rigged comes as no shock, especially as rumors swirled in advance about
sophisticated efforts to manipulate the results. (For methods, think the
Volkswagen emissions scam.)<br />

Bulgaria with Emerging Election Fraud over Voting in Turkey</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span> <span style="font-size: small;">July 5, 2009, Sunday</span></h1>
A new type of election fraud is emerging in Bulgaria as the Bulgarians vote in <b>Parliamentary Elections</b> on Sunday, July 5.<br />
Several cases from around the country have been reported in which
people attempting to cast their votes appeared to have been crossed out
from the election lists because they had submitted requests to be
allowed to vote in Turkey.<br />
However, the victims claim that they had never submitted any requests to vote in <b>Turkey</b> (the requests in question have been submitted from <b>Turkey</b> before the respective deadline). Some of the victims claim they had never been to <b>Turkey</b> in their lives.<br />
Four such cases have been reported in the Danube city of Ruse, one in
the northeast city of Dobrich, and another one - in the southern city

the victims of the fraud most likely will be unable to cast their votes

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">European election observers say they have some
concerns about the conduct of parliamentary and presidential elections
in Romania.
The OSCE observers said that although the election was well organised
and professional, it may have been possible for some people to vote more
than once.
<br />
With around half of the vote counted, the Social Democrats (PSD) have a small lead over the centrist opposition.
<br />
The presidential race looks set for a second round on 12 December.
<br />
The Social Democrats leader, and current prime minister, Adrian Nastase,
is narrowly ahead of the centrist opposition Justice and Truth Alliance
candidate, Traian Basescu.
<br />
While the Social Democrats announced their victory after exit polls on
Sunday night, Mr Basescu believes he and his party still have a chance
of winning.
</span></span></h1>
He also called for an inquiry into voting irregularities.
<br />
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) which
has 18 international observers from 13 states at the elections, raised a
number of issues.
<br />
"While the democratic election process appears to be further
consolidated in Romania, some procedural concerns have been raised
regarding suspension of the use of voter cards," said OSCE ambassador
Stephen Nash.

</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">
The independent Pro-Democracy Association, which had 3,300 monitors at
polling stations, has also raised concerns about how allowing voters to
use any polling station in the country could have opened the door to
multiple voting. </span></span><br />

Romanian president's re-election sparks allegations of fraud</h2>
President <b>Traian Basescu</b> has been re-elected in a neck-and-neck runoff against challenger <b>Mircea Geoana</b>. But his rival's party says there has been election rigging and will contest the result.<br />
Center-right incumbent Traian <b>Basescu </b>has won a
presidential runoff with his left-wing challenger Mircea Geoana by a
razor-thin margin, prompting accusations of electoral fraud.<br />
<b>Basescu </b>scored 50.37 percent versus 49.63 for his rival, final results from the Romanian Central Election Bureau showed.<br />
But Geoana's Social Democratic Party said it had proof of fraud and would contest the result.<br />
One of the practices it complains of is "electoral tourism," in which individuals vote in more than one polling district.<br />
"We have proof of fraud," senior party member <b>Liviu Dragnea</b>
told a press conference. "The exit poll, the large number of anulled
votes... massive electoral tourism and other things obviously forced us
to contest the result."<br />
"Romanians voted for <b>Mircea Geoana</b>, but Basescu's state apparatus is trying to make him the winner through fraud," <b>Dragnea </b>said.<br />

Romanian diaspora denied the right to vote

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></h1>
On 2 November, thousands of Romanians abroad were denied the right to
vote in the Romanian presidential elections by their government. I was
one of those who turned out at the embassy in London and stubbornly
queued for six hours in order to cast their vote with no success. The
embassy shut its doors at 9pm. The British police were called in to
protect the officials from the rage of the people left out of the
democratic process.<br />
How exactly has this blatant infringement of civil rights happened? The long queues formed outside voting stations across <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/europe-news">Europe</a>
were due to poor organisation – some might even say deliberately poor
organisation – although the Romanian prime minister denies any
mismanagement of the elections abroad, claiming instead that procedures
were put in place to avoid electoral fraud in the diaspora. The
diaspora, previous elections tell us, tend to vote, at times decisively,
against the PSD, the party that has inherited much of the
infrastructure, mentality and collective memory of the former Communist
party...<br />

Speaking to RFE/RL on October 19 during a visit to Brussels for
meetings with officials from the European Union, Action and Solidarity
candidate and former Education Minister Maia Sandu said she was "here to
warn the international partners of Moldova about the risks of massive
fraud of the election and to ask them to help."<br />
<br />
The presidential vote is Moldova's first by direct election since
1996, a change whose legitimacy is being challenged by the Communist
Party and other opposition elements.<br />
"We do want to have democratic elections. We do deserve to have
democratic elections," Sandu told RFE/RL's Brussels correspondent.
"Unfortunately we can't count on the Moldova state institutions these
days because they are not free and independent, and that is why we count
so much [on] support from EU institutions."<br />

Moldovan court orders vote recount in disputed election</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">
Moldova's highest court has agreed to President Voronin's request for a
vote-recount following accusations that his Communist Party rigged last
week's election victory. Meanwhile, anti-government protests continued.</span></span></h1>
Moldova's Constitutional Court ordered the country's Central Election
Commission to conduct a recount within nine days, as protesters rallied
outside on Sunday, April 12. <br />
Court Chairman Dumitru Pulbere said after the court's sitting that all ballots from the April 5 poll would be reviewed.<br />
<br />
According
to the first official count, the incumbent Communist Party won the
election with 50 percent of the vote, a result that triggered violent
protests by opposition activists who believe the vote was rigged.<br />
<br />
Pulbere added that the recount would also involve an examination of voters' lists. <br />
"These
two issues are closely linked," he said, in comments aimed to address
opposition claims that a number of long-dead people were on the
electoral roll. "You cannot do one without the other."<br />
Outside
the court, protesters claimed a recount would only disguise electoral
fraud, and called instead for President Vladimir Voronin to step down.<br />

<div class="firstPar">
It was 5.30pm on election day in Ukraine when the thugs in masks arrived armed with rubber truncheons.</div>
<div class="secondPar">
Vitaly
Kizima, an election monitor at Zhovtneve in Ukraine's Sumy region,
watched in horror as 30 men in tracksuits stormed into the village
polling station.</div>
<div class="fourthPar">
"They started to beat voters and election officials, trying to push through towards the ballot boxes," he told The Telegraph.</div>
<div class="fifthPar">
"People's faces were cut from blows to the head. There was blood all over."</div>
The thugs - believed to be loyal to the pro-Russian presidential
candidate Viktor Yanukovich from his stronghold, Donetsk - were repulsed
only when locals pushed them back and a policeman fired warning shots.<br />
<br />
The
catalogue of abuses in the contest between Mr Yanukovich, the prime
minister, and his opponent, the pro-Western Viktor Yushchenko, is
growing longer by the day.<br />
<br />
Ukraine is split, with the western,
Europe-leaning regions voting overwhelmingly for Mr Yushchenko while the
eastern part of the country - where many speak Russian - backing Mr
Yanukovich.<br />
Maya Syta, a journalist working at polling station 73
in a Kiev suburb, witnessed ballot papers destroyed with acid poured
into a ballot box. "The officials were taking them out of the box and
they couldn't understand why they were wet," she said.<br />
<br />
"Then I saw
they started to blacken and disintegrate as if they were burning. Two
ballots were wrapped up into a tube with a yellow liquid inside. After a
few moments they were completely eaten up."<br />
In her polling
station, 26 ballots were destroyed and had to be invalidated. Six other
cases were recorded of ballots destroyed by acid.<br />

AKP accused of election fraud in Sweden</h1>
May 13, 2015 </div>
</div>
An article published in the Discussion Column in the Swedish
newspaper Expressen, which comments on the importance of the general
elections to be held in Turkey and North Kurdistan on 7 June, said the
AKP is engaging in electoral irregularities at the Turkish consulate in
Sweden.<br />
The AKP government that is resorting to lies and fraud in order to
prevent the HDP exceeding the electoral threshold of 10%, is also using
underhand methods to prevent the Kurdish, Assyrian people and democratic
circles living in Europe voting for the HDP.<br />
While in many countries in Europe the voting period in the consulates
is in several centres and over several days, in Sweden the voting is
limited to the consulate in Stockholm only and to one day on 31 May. In a
large country like Sweden, many voters have to ask for several days of
leave to reach Stockholm, wait in long queues to vote and then return
home, in addition to paying all the costs themselves.<br />
300 Kurdish people living in Europe filed a complaint at the Turkish
embassy in Sweden, saying that this situation hinders their right to
vote, but the Turkish embassy rejected the application. The Kurdish
people then held a meeting with representatives from the political
parties, the HDP, AKP, MHP and the CHP as well as with NGOs, and applied
to the Turkish embassy once again demanding an increase in the number
of voting centres in Sweden and an extension of the voting period. <br />

Thousands of Albanians protest alleged election fraud</h1>

Tens of thousands of people rallied in the main square
in Albania's capital on Friday, protesting the state of the economy and
calling for a partial recount of ballots from last year's elections.</div>
<div class="intro">
<br /></div>
Demonstrators vowed to stay on the streets until their demands are met<br />
"The time of the resistance has come," Socialist leader Edi Rama told
the crowd gathered in front of the Albanian government building in
Tirana.<br />
<br />
"We are determined to continue the protests and civil
disobedience, to oblige the government either to be transparent in
regard to the fraud-marked elections or to leave," he said.<br />
<br />
Fatmir
Xhasa, a Socialist deputy, told the protestors that 22 lawmakers would
launch a hunger strike in front of the seat of government to demand
election transparency.<br />
<br />
The conservative Democrats, led by Prime
Minister Sali Berisha, narrowly won the general elections on June 28 but
have been hounded by allegations of vote-rigging ever since. In
response, the opposition Socialists have staged a boycott, effectively
stalling the government for months.<br />
The Socialists returned to
parliament in February, but still refuse to take part in any votes. They
are calling for a recount of ballots in several voting districts, but
the ruling government has rejected the demands as illegal.<br />

Serbian Opposition Rally Claims Election was Rigged</h1>
<div class="lead">
<span class="published_date">30 Apr 16</span><br />
<br />
Thousands of Serbian opposition supporters
demonstrated in Belgrade on Saturday, accusing the main ruling party of
rigging the election and demanding resignations.</div>
<br />
Several thousand supporters of Serbian opposition parties staged a
protest on Saturday in Belgrade, claiming that last Sunday's elections
were rigged and urging citizens to vote in repeat elections at 15
polling stations scheduled for Wednesday.<br />
They also demanded the resignation of the President of the Election
Commission, RIK, Dejan Djurdjevic, and the director of the Institute of
Statistics, Miladin Kovacevic.<br />
Opposition leaders said that although they had different ideological
views, they would unite to defend democratic institutions and the will
of citizens, which they said were jeopardized by the government of
Aleksandar Vucic and his Serbian Progessive Party, SNS.<br />
Bosko Obradovic, leader of the rightwing Dveri party, which has been
narrowly excluded from parliament by only one vote, called on Vucic to
admit the election was manipulated on Sunday, which is Serbian Orthodox
Easter. “The Serbian Progressive Party will not determine the votes,
Serbian citizens will,” Obradovic said.<br />
Bojan Pajtic, leader of Democratic Party, said that regime’s
“insolence and arrogance” was best shown by the fact that "a dead man
who is supposedly 144 years old today” had voted for the Progressive
Party. “Aleksandar Vucic is your servant and not your master,” Pajtic
said.<br />
Sasa Radulovic, leader of the “Enough is enough” movement, which won 6
per cent of the votes, said that there was numerous evidence that the
elections were rigged, as dead people and non-existing citizens had
voted and ballot boxes had been tampered with.<br />
He called on people to supervise the polling stations at the repeat
elections on Wednesday to ensure that no one can manipulated votes
again.<br />

Bosnian Vote Fraud Forces Diplomats to Delay Election</h1>

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></h1>
The American diplomat overseeing Bosnia's coming elections announced
today that balloting for municipal posts will be delayed because of
widespread electoral fraud - meaning that peacekeeping forces might have to
remain in place longer than planned.<br />
Presidential and parliamentary elections will take place as planned on
Sept. 14. Western military officers said the decision to postpone the
municipal balloting, which had also been scheduled for Sept. 14, increases
pressure for a significant number of U.S. troops serving in NATO's Bosnia
peacekeeping force to remain deployed in Bosnia past the one-year deadline
set by President Clinton in a pledge to Congress last winter.<br />
Although their presence likely would be in another framework, the
officials predicted, the troops will be needed to help police the municipal
voting when it is held. This, they added, could be sometime around May
1997, after Bosnia's harsh winter.<br />
The U.S. diplomat, Robert Frowick, said at a packed news conference that
his decision to postpone elections in Bosnia's 109 municipalities was
prompted by "a widespread abuse of rules and regulations," particularly by
the Bosnian Serbs, that "distorted" the electoral process.<br />

1,000,000 in 2011 to around 300,000 of non-existent voters on the

Croatia’s politicians who have rotated on the political stage for the

Threat of voter fraud haunts EU vote in Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia</h1>

A sharp insight into the abuse of European democracy was revealed in
the recent trial of Croatia's ex-Prime Minister Ivo Sanader.<br />
The ex-leader of the now-opposition Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ)
was sentenced in March to nine years in prison for extorting around €9
million from public companies and institutions to use for slush funds
and personal acquisitions.<br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">During the trial, former HDZ treasurer Mladen Barisic detailed Sanader's
corrupt mentality as revealed in 2009 during a meeting with his
successor, the incoming prime minister Jadranka Kosor.</span></span></h1>
Sanader allegedly told the new prime minister: "Elections cannot be won by financing them solely through regular funds." <br />
It is claimed the centre-right leader then pointed his finger under
the table, demonstrating through gestures that elections are fought with
two-thirds of the money beneath the table and only one-third above
board, implying that only a minority of campaign funds are used legally.<br />
Meanwhile in Romania the vice Prime Minister, Social Democrat (PSD)
Liviu Dragnea, is facing trial due to his alleged role in attempting to
fix a 2012 referendum aimed at deposing Romanian President Traian
Basescu.<br />
Dragnea is one of the most powerful men in the current government
thanks to his brokering position between Bucharest and the wealthy
regional barons who control local councils.<br />
As PSD secretary general in 2012, he is accused of defrauding the
referendum by pushing the vote numbers to over 60 percent of the
population, the threshold needed for the vote to be valid.<br />
He is indicted for coordinating a system involving 74 other people,
local party executives and activists as well as heads of local polling
stations.<br />
Dragnea claims the investigation is a farce and that he undertook a
"legal" campaign, which eventually failed to kick out the President.<br />
Despite being sent to court by Romania's Anti-Corruption Directorate
(DNA), Dragnea remains the PSD's campaign chief for this year's European
elections – a move which some democratic observers claim shows the
contempt political parties hold for accusations of voter fraud.<br />
Although efforts by national justice systems to combat
election-fixing in new EU member states are muscling up, this crime
remains a threat to these democracies ahead of the May 2014 elections.<br />
<h2>
How to fix an election</h2>
Political parties tend to outsource fraud to regional party hubs or
agents, who pay blocs of voters with cash or goods, while employing a
smorgasbord of creative methods to outsmart election observers. <br />
A common strategy is for a voter to meet with an agent outside the voting station – the agent then tells them who to vote for.<br />
Inside the voting booth, the voter takes a picture of his or her
ballot paper with a mobile phone, leaves the station, shows the photo to
the agent – and picks up the money. <br />
This was happening in 2012 in Romania and in 2007 and 2009 in Croatia.<br />
Since 1996 in Romania, the 'mobile ballot box' has been popular. A
'commission' of usually three people takes such a ballot box to remote
places, such as old people's homes, where citizens cannot physically
turn up at the voting station. <br />
This can encourage fraud because the 'commission' can travel to
sympathisers for a specific party and, as they are out of the voting
station, there is less observer oversight. <br />
Another trick is for the agent to hand over a pre-stamped ballot
paper to the voter. The voter then enters the voting station, picks up a
second – blank – ballot paper, enters the voting booth, posts the
pre-stamped paper in the ballot box, leaves the station and hands over
the blank ballot paper to the agent.<br />
Dead people have turned up as voters in Romania. If voter lists are
not up to date, people who died in the previous year can vote.<br />
In Croatia, there are reports of priests using church sermons to
persuade voters to back certain individuals and, in Romania, of a priest
cursing voters who dared turn up to vote at all.<br />
In Bulgaria, there is suspicion about use of fake ballot papers. On
the day before national elections in May 2013, some 350,000
voting-papers were found in a printing house near Sofia. There was
speculation over whether they would be marked and used in elections. <br />
In 2007, independent candidate in the Croatian national election
Jerko Ivanovic Lijanovic was caught offering cash to election commission
members in return for the insertion of additional ballots after the
closing of the polls. <br />
In Bulgaria, Transparency International claimed that around 23
percent of the public vote was "controlled" in May 2013. This is the
procedure where buses or other vehicles pick up voters and transport
them to voting stations. <br />
This is not illegal and is common practice in western Europe.
However, in eastern Europe, these are often citizens who have been
threatened to vote for a certain party, or are paid with goods or cash.<br />
In Romania, parties have historically ferried voters around in
minibuses from county to county to vote many times. But since 2004, this
method has been less visible, according to electoral watchdog
Pro-Democracy Association. <br />
However it may still be possible to vote twice or more. In Romania,
each voter has a personal ID. When they vote, the commission attaches a
sticker to the back of the ID. But this can easily be peeled off, so
someone can vote twice.<br />
This should not be possible because there should be a collation of ID numbers to ensure that a number has not voted twice. <br />
Nevertheless, president of democracy watchdog the Pro-Democracy
Association Ionut Tata says that what happens at county electoral
offices, where all the votes from a county are collected, is not subject
to scrutiny. <br />
Observers are not allowed in these offices. <br />
"It might be that fraud happens there," he says.<br />
Romanian authorities have claimed over the years that they have
wanted to introduce software to check electronically for voting fraud –
but the gap between their intention and action has never been bridged. <br />
<h2>
E-Bay for voter fraud</h2>
In Croatia electoral fraud reached a sophisticated low with the selling of votes online.<br />
During the country's first European Parliament elections in April
2013, the State Electoral Commission filed a criminal charge against an
unknown person who called on voters to sell their votes on the
now-defunct website myvotemymoney.com.<br />
Entitled "Do you want cash to go out to vote?", the site offered
payments if voters pledged their ballots to a specific candidate, thus
acting as a clearing house between party agents and the people. <br />
Voters could fill in a form stating their e-mail address and mobile
number. The site then gave voters an SMS with instructions detailing who
to vote for. <br />
In the voting booth, the voter would photograph the stamped ballot
paper and upload the photo to the web. The site then promised the voter
to "expect compensation within 96 hours" via PayPal.<br />
"We call upon all candidates who want to help their voters
immediately to contact us!!!" the site urged, using three exclamation
marks.<br />
<h2>
Roma: target for vote-buying</h2>
Because they constitute an impoverished segment of the population,
suffering from high unemployment and illiteracy, and low social
mobility, Roma are enlisted by local mayors and party agents to vote for
specific candidates. <br />
This is true in Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia, where parties also
target the elderly, the rural rank and file and the impoverished living
on the periphery of large cities.<br />
"The Roma community are always subject to vote-buying," argues Ciprian Necula, Romania-based Roma activist.<br />
In Bulgaria, the turnout in the last two elections in Roma
neighborhoods varied between 50 and 80 percent against a national
average of 50 percent. This massive disparity raised questions over the
legitimacy of the Roma's voting behaviour. <br />
In Romania, Roma leaders are also paid by party agents to secure a 'bloc' of Roma votes for a particular party.<br />
<h2>
From €8 upwards: the price of democracy</h2>
In the 2009 Croatian local elections party agents were willing to pay citizens between €15 and €150 for their vote. <br />
Further east, democracy trades at a cheaper rate. <br />
In Bulgaria a vote can be on sale for between €15 and €35 and in Romania between €10 and €50, according to samples. <br />
A Romanian political party source told Roma activist Ciprian Necula
that when parties draw up their budgets for an election campaign, they
base the sum on the number of votes needed. <br />
He told Necula a vote in Romania costs €8, a figure which factors in the advertising and campaign costs – as well as a bribe.<br />

EU observers monitoring Sunday's

The head of the monitoring team, Doris
Pack, said the election was generally well run but called for action
against officials suspected of vote-rigging.<br />
Prime Minister Hasim Thaci has claimed victory in the vote, Kosovo's first since independence.<br />
But he is not thought likely to win the election outright.<br />
According
to early results, Mr Thaci's Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) gained
almost 31% of the vote, a few points ahead of his main rival and
ex-junior coalition partner, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).<br />
The
LDK has called for re-runs, arguing that voting was compromised in two
of Hasim Thaci's strongholds, where an unlikely 95% turnout was
recorded.<br />
<br />
Doris Pack, a German politician, said the turnout, at almost twice the average in Kosovo, was highly suspicious.<br />

Hungarian citizens abroad: Fodder for election fraud?</h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">July 29, 2013</span></h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Could fraud happen in the national parliamentary elections next year?
That’s definitely a concern of the opposition Együtt 2014-Dialogue for
Hungary coalition, one certain to cause more speculation due to recent
apparently contradictory comments by National Election Office (NVI)
President Ilona Pálffy...</span></span></h1>
On Hír TV this weekend, Pálffy explained <a href="http://bbj.hu/politics/baile-tusnad-youth-camp-who-said-what_67077" style="font-size: 15.5556px;" target="_blank">from Baile Tusnad</a>
that the ballot-casting procedure for dual-citizenship voters living
abroad was easy – maybe *too* easy. Up to 15 days before the election,
said Pálffy, completed ballots will be submitted into a mailbox-like
“urn” at embassies and consulates with no proof of identification
needed.<br />
A day later, Pálffy sidestepped her previous statement on the pages
of Népszava by detailing the complicated procedure for submitting
ballots via post and subsequent validity check by authorities. She
pointed out that <a href="http://www.nepszava.hu/articles/article.php?id=665575" target="_blank">“All over the world they vote by mail.”</a><br />
<br />
Adding
much ground for speculation was Zoltán Tóth, described as an “election
expert,” on Klubrádió; this morning Tóth was quoted on the station’s
website as describing a scenario in which ballots could simply be stolen
before getting into the postal system. <a href="http://belfold.ma.hu/tart/cikk/a/0/180892/1/belfold/EgyuttPM_Ne_probalkozzon_valasztasi_trukkokkel_a_kormany" target="_blank">“The [electoral] regulatory environment … provides no guarantee for the citizen,”</a> Tóth said.<br />
The Together-Dialogue coalition has called upon the governing parties
not to “play political games with Hungarian citizens abroad” and to
develop a system which will fairly and transparently count votes from
dual-citizenship voters.<br />
<br />
Also in Romania this weekend was Fidesz
Party Lawmaker Balázs Hidvéghi, who stated that some 233,000
dual-citizens had been sent information on the voting procedure for an
election he called “a celebration of Hungarians.”<br />
Hidvéghi previously said reported that nearly 500,000 applications
for dual citizenship – about 60% from Romania – have been received by
Hungarian authorities to date. Just over 5.1 million ballots were cast
in the 2010 parliamentary elections, the last before the current
dual-citizenship law was passed.<br />

services to the Magyarországi Cigánypárt (MCP), decided to tell all.
Bertram Marek claims to know about at least five parties that cheated in
the gathering of necessary signatures: MCP, KTI (Közösség a Társadalmi
Igazságosságért), JESZ (Jólét és Szabadság), SZAVA (Szabad Választók
Pártja), and the Party of the Greens. KTI is Katalin Szili’s party, Jesz
is a party built on the ruins of MDF. Katalin Szili, earlier an MSZP
politician, is indignant and charges her former political allies
with “having visions of cheating.”</span></span></h1>
Practically all organizations connected to the government are
involved somehow or other in the cheating that is going on. For example,
the post office. Attila Mesterházy sends out campaign literature to the
citizens urging them to attend the large gathering that was planned for
March 15, but they get it only three days later, on March 18. Local
papers published by the municipalities don’t allow opposition candidates
any space to air their views. The same is true about municipal
television stations.<br />
The chief prosecutor’s office is doing its best to leak information
on the Gábor Simon case which may not be altogether accurate. Simon is
being kept in jail where most likely investigators are trying their best
to get him to implicate one or more of the opposition leaders
just before the election. The strategy of leveling corruption
charges against members of the opposition worked well in 2010 (it
mattered not that the charges were unfounded) and Fidesz
seems confident that it will work again in 2014. The Parliamentary
Committee on National Security has been called together, and the Fidesz
majority insists on a hearing to investigate Attila Mesterházy three
days before the election. Perfectly timed.<br />
The dissembling campaign mentality seems to permeate everything these
days. Members of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe arrived in Budapest to talk to government officials and party
politicians, but when they announced that they would like to talk to
some opposition members, they were sent to the wrong address.<br />
And finally the foreign vote. Several people I know have been unable
to register. A friend of mine who lives in the DC area and who has voted
dutifully every four years in the Hungarian Embassy in Washington will
for the first time not be able to cast a vote. She tried to register
online but never received an answer.<br />
Then there are those who are eligible to vote by mail. A friend in
the United States received his ballot and was told that his return
envelope requires no postage. Well, I wonder how many of these envelopes
will actually end up in Budapest. The envelope doesn’t even have the
necessary information for the US Postal Service in English. Only in
Hungarian and French! He very wisely added postage and wrote “Hungary”
on the envelope. He even discussed the matter with the postmaster who
confirmed his suspicion that the US Postal Service will not
process international letters with a “no postage required” label.<br />
This is a scandal. I almost hope that Orbán’s machinations will
result in “overachievement.” Figures that are unbelievable, results
that more closely resemble the electoral outcomes of Belarus
than those of truly democratic countries. Perhaps then the EU will wake
up.<br />

Low numbers of opposition delegates at polling stations on October
2nd significantly increases the risk of fraud in the migrant quota
referendum, warns Political Capital election expert Robert László.<br />
In Hungary, there are 8,306 vote-tallying committees and 2,205 local
election committees essentially performing the same function. Election
rules allows parties with parliamentary delegations to send two
delegates to each committee.<br />
Opposition parties have appointed delegates to less than 40 percent
of the 10,511 committees responsible for tallying up the vote on October
2nd. This means some 6,000 committees will be comprised exclusively of
delegates from local municipalities and the ruling party.<br />

VOTE: Criminal prosecution launched for video with instructions for election fraud</h1>
</div>
<div class="perex">
16. Mar 2014 </div>
<br />
THE POLICE are dealing with the case of a voter who attempted to
encourage others to fraudulently vote several times. The man published a
video on the internet instructing citizens how to vote three times in
the elections.<br />
<br />
“Criminal prosecution was launched in the case, two crimes are
suspected,” Police Corps Vice-President Ľubomír Ábel said to a press
conference on March 16, as quoted by the SITA newswire. The suspected
crimes are the marring of the elections and the violation of other
people’s rights. <br />
The Central Election Commission on the election day took note of an
initiative of one Slovak citizen who was trying to prove to other voters
that if they want to, they can vote even three times; once using their
ID and twice using their passport. <br />
The Commission condemned his conduct, saying that he abused the
status of the citizens who do not have permanent residence in Slovakia,
and who are allowed to vote in the presidential election without having
to prove that their permanent residence is outside Slovakia. They only
needed to prove their citizenship with their passport. <br />
If proved guilty, the man could be sentenced to one to five years in prison. <br />
Apart from this incident, the election was one of the calmest from
the security perspective, Abel said. The police received 13 motions
before the election day, in six of those cases they have launched
criminal prosecution. It is mostly cases of harming other persons’
possessions, in connection with the billboards, or cases of badmouthing.
<br />
During the election night, the police recorded 10 motions and started criminal prosecution in four of them. <br />

Austria Presidential Election Annulled After ‘Serious’ Postal Vote Fraud</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="bydate">1 Jul 2016</span></span></h1>
<h2>
Austria’s Constitutional court has today ordered May’s presidential
election be annulled and another called after “particularly serious
cases” of voting fraud were detected in the photo-finish vote.</h2>
The Green party-backed candidate Alexander Van der Bellen originally <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/05/23/accusations-of-questionable-postal-votes-as-leftist-green-candidate-snatches-austria-victory-from-populist-right/">snatched victory</a>
by a mere 0.6 per cent in the second round vote, which was taken to
decide the new president of central-European state Austria in May. He
had made it to the round alongside Freedom Party (FPO) candidate Norbert
Hofer, who campaigned to protect Austria from mass migration and
Islamification.<br />
Now the Austrian Constitutional court has upheld a complaint by the
FPO about conduct in the election. The party had alleged that there were
voting “irregularities” in 94 of the 117 total electoral constituencies
in the country, <a class="x5l" href="http://www.krone.at/Oesterreich/Wahlwiederholung%21-Oberstes_Gericht_-Story-517854" rel="noopener" target="_blank">reports </a><i>Kronen Zeitung</i>.<br />
It is not known how many of the 94 areas alleged to have voting
irregularities have been investigated, but the court identified “20
particularly serious cases” after interviewing 67 witnesses. Two
witnesses are reported to have refused to give a statement. The
allegation is that in these areas the postal ballots were opened and
sorted before the arrival of Electoral Commission arrivals, meaning they
could have been easily tampered with.<br />
Given that the election was carried by just 30,863 votes, and up to
740,000 postal votes are in question the Constitutional court has now
ruled the vote should be re-run, although the date for this has not yet
been announced. Until the new vote in Autumn, the role of Austria’s
Presidency will be fulfilled by a three-member National President
Council (Präsidium des Nationalrats) — on which the FPO presidential
candidate Norbert Hofer already sits...<br />

Austrian Court Orders Rerun Of Presidential Election After Finding "Widespread" Voting Fraud</h1>

In yet another slap in the face for an already reeling Europe,
moments ago Austria's Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that the
presidential runoff election must be held again, handing the Freedom
Party's narrowly defeated candidate another chance to become the first
right-wing head of state in the European Union. Norbert Hofer of the
anti-immigration FPO lost the May 22 vote to former Greens leader
Alexander Van der Bellen by less than one percentage point, or around
31,000 votes, all due to mailed-in ballots. <br />
This prompted a loud outcry of allegations that the vote had been rigged. As it turns out the allegations were spot on.<br />
<br />
As a reminder, <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-27/austria-launches-probe-alleged-presidential-election-postal-vote-fraud">one month ago </a>-
in the aftermath of the Freedom Party candidate's loss by a negligible
margin in the Austrian presidential runoff election - five voting
districts were being investigated over postal vote irregularities in the
close-run presidential election. Allegations of fraud arose from the
far-right Freedom party of defeated candidate Norbert Hofer, after the
Green candidate Alexander Van der Bellen just scrapped ahead with 31,000
votes when the postal ballot was counted. As a result, the
anti-immigrant Freedom Party had challenged the election result earlier
this month, alleging “catastrophic” violations of election law,
especially in how mail-in ballots were processed. <br />
<div data-mediaconductor-processed="true">
Many were sceptical that anything of substance would be found, and yet that is precisely what happened: as the <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/austrian-court-orders-rerun-of-presidential-vote-1467369788?mod=djemalertEuropenews">WSJ reports</a>, <b>the court found law violations in “many districts” in how the May 22 second-round vote was carried out, Mr. Neuwirth said. </b>“It is for the [Constitutional Court] completely clear that the laws that regulate an election must be applied rigorously.” </div>

Fraud allegations against top aide rock election frontrunner as Italians flock to the polls today.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
An Italian senator and top aide to <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/silvio-berlusconi">Silvio Berlusconi</a>
has been forced to deny reports linking him to an alleged Mafia-run
plan to hand Berlusconi 50,000 fraudulent votes, as voting gets under
way today in the Italian elections.<br />
Marcello Dell'Utri, who is appealing against a sentence for
consorting with Mafia clans, has admitted helping to enrol on
Berlusconi's election campaign a man whom prosecutors suspect teamed up
with the Calabrian <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/mafia">Mafia</a>
to fix votes. But the Sicilian senator, who helped to launch
Berlusconi's Forza Italia party in 1994, described reports of his
possible links to the alleged vote fraud as 'lies and garbage', adding
that he had not been told he was under<br />
investigation. With a tight race in the senate expected as voters
head to the polls today and tomorrow, the overseas vote could prove to
be decisive in the battle between Berlusconi and centre-left leader
Walter Veltroni to take over from Romano Prodi, whose government
collapsed in January. Just over 1.2 million votes have been cast
overseas.<br />
Investigators
believe the scam was set to take place in South America, where
expatriate Italians handed in their votes to Italian consulates last
week. Aldo Micciche, a businessman who moved to Venezuela after being
convicted of fraudulent bankruptcy in <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/italy">Italy</a>,
is suspected of planning with the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta to fill in
50,000 blank ballot slips obtained from corrupt officials, Corriere
della Sera wrote yesterday. Micciche denied the allegations. The
Interior Minister, Giuliano Amato, confirmed he had been alerted by
investigators in Reggio Calabria, capital of the Calabria region, about
possible electoral fraud in South America. He added that controls had
been tightened.<br />
Dell'Utri confirmed on Friday that he had been contacted by Micciche,
who told him he could help to promote Berlusconi's Freedom Folk party
to expatriate voters in South America. 'I put him in touch with our
representative, Barbara Contini,' Dell'Utri told Il Giornale. 'That was
the end of the matter. This person was interested in organising the vote
of Italians abroad, as are many people who are linked to all parties
and in all parts. I do not see what the problem is.'<br />

<h1>
Germany, Austria: Election fraud against "right" - a new method applied by "true" democrats?</h1>
<b> </b>Sep 13, 2016 <br />
<br />
<b>"People who vote decide NOTHING. People who count the votes decide EVERYTHING."</b><br />
<b>In Bremerhaven</b>,
a port city of 114.000 people at the mouth of the river WESER, leading
to North Sea, a former major military hub for U.S. troops and logistics
having arrived in Germany and (NATO-) Europe, some 35 miles north and
2nd part of the federal Hanseatic city-state of BREMEN, <b>a new
right-wing, populist movement called "Citizens in Rage" (BiW=Bürger in
Wut), who deemed themselves politically "conservative", wanted to enter
the city council and Bremen state assembly by taking part in local/state
elections in 2007.</b><br />
Due to federal and state election
laws that require a quorum of at least 5 percent of the valid votes
(so-called 5 %-hurdle) for getting seats allocated, some of the many,
many vote counting assistants (specially appointed citizens who
volunteer or get "conscripted" for this honorary job) in the ballot
precincts managed to warp the result to 4.99 % , thus disqualifying the
"enraged citizens" of BiW from getting any seats in town-hall and
Hanseatic state assembly ("Bürgerschaft"). The heads of BiW smelled a
rat. They objected the outcome and went to court, successfully. The
respective chamber of Bremen administrative courts
("Wahlprüfungsgericht" = court for election review) found significant
irregularities in three electoral districts. A complete recount was
ordered in two districts, in one district a rerun of the election was
deemed necessary. The outcome in the rerun was an astonishing 27,6 %
share for BiW - and, of course, passing the 5 % hurdle for Bremerhaven
with then 5.3 % - receiving one seat in the city's town-hall assembly
and the "Bürgerschaft".<br />
In 2011 similar manipulations occured
again in local elections to the disadvantage of BiW - issue was settled
in administrative court. The BiW got one seat again due to a 7.1 % score
in Bremerhaven by significantly passing the 5 % qualification hurdle.<br />
Again
in 2015 - the right of center, populist "Alternative for Germany" (AfD)
went to court as well. They objected the outcome (- less than 5 % of
the valid votes in Bremerhaven-), citing massive manipulations and vote
rigging to their disadvantage as well as intentionally wrong counting by
obviously adding ballot papers and even "inventing" votes for a party
that didn't even exist on the ballot sheets. Background of the AfD
party's objection was a electoral precinct at a school in which senior
high school students (at age 16 to 18) did the honorary job at least
highly unprofessionally. AfD members assumed foul-play and cited prior
"brain-washing" by leftist teachers who instructed the students in
political education lessons in preparation of their assignments
as election assistants.<br />

BERLIN — German prosecutors have
opened an investigation into allegations of vote-rigging in an election
for Berlin’s Jewish community parliament.<br />
A spokesman for the
prosecutor’s office, Martin Steltner, said they are looking into alleged
forging of documents in connection with the 2011 election.<br />
Opposition
members within the Jewish community have alleged for years that the top
leadership was involved in voting fraud — something the leadership has
denied.<br />
Ilan Kiesling, a spokesman for community head Gideon Joffe, denied the new allegations on Wednesday.<br />
Earlier
this month, the Central Council of Jews in Germany advised members of
Berlin’s community parliament to suspend their functions until clarity
had been reached regarding the accusations.<br />

election fraud investigation received unexpected media coverage in the
Netherlands yesterday when the court in The Hague dealt with a petition
from the Platform Protection Civil Rights to outlaw so-called stemfies,
pictures voters take of themselves showing for whom they voted.<br />
Stemfies – a variation on selfies – became a minor hype during the
municipal elections on March 19 in the Netherlands, when politicians and
others came out with pictures that showed their vote. D66-leader
Alexander Pechtold was among them. Minister of Home Affairs and Kingdom
Relations Ronald Plasterk tweeted that day: “I do not call for making
stemfies, but they are allowed.”<br />
The Platform Protection Civil Rights has a different opinion and it
went to court to force a ban on stemfies. The director of the cabinet of
Minister Plenipotentiary Mathias Voges, Perry Geerlings, attended the
court hearing and he was promptly interviewed by a reporter for the
Dutch NOS TV-News. The reporter referred to the election fraud case in
St. Maarten and turned it into a case about stemfies. The court in St.
Maarten has scheduled the election fraud trial for August 4.<br />
Geerlings enlightened the reported in veiled terms, without
mentioning the United People’s party as the buyer of the votes. “”This
is a case about a number of individuals who apparently have sold their
vote to a party,” Geerlings said diplomatically. “As proof they took a
picture of their voting behavior. With that evidence they went to a
third person and said, look, I voted for you or for your party. There
was of course a favor in return.”<br />
<br />
<br />
That favor was an amount of $300 in cash for each vote, but that detail did not come out in the TV-report.<br />
The attorney for the platform, Douwe Linders, conceded that initially
the stemfie was kind of fun. “The problem is however that if you take a
picture of the way you voted, you are able to prove later whom you
voted for. There is a risk that someone will ask you beforehand to vote
for a certain party and to prove this afterwards. This way there is a
risk of influencing voting behavior and that endangers the right to free
elections.”<br />
Linders said that he did not know how often this happened during the municipal elections in March.</span> <br /><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Abstract</span></h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />It
has become common in the majority of countries around the world to hold
elections. However, although global norms for elections are converging,
there is still no agreement on the definition of election fraud.
Violations of election integrity can take a very wide range of forms,
from the more visible irregularities as ballot box stuffing to more
subtle irregularities as media bias. One thing that can be said for sure
is that in order to convict someone for committing election fraud, the
acts that are deemed illegal should be prohibited by the law of a
country. This means that the legal definition of election fraud is
important when studying electoral integrity. In this paper I look at the
legal definition of election fraud in the Dutch context. I examine
which acts within the election process are defined as illegal. I also
look into the history of the Dutch laws on election fraud to see which
acts used to be considered as election fraud and are not so anymore and
which acts have been added over time. An overview is given of actual
cases of election fraud in the Netherlands. This leads to some
conclusions on the legal definition of election fraud in a long standing
democracy. </span></span></h1>

CD&V denies voter registration fraud</h1>
9th August 2006<br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1>
<h4>
10 August 2006, BRUSSELS — The public prosecution office has no
evidence that Christian Democrat CD&V politician Okay Özel was
involved in fraudulent registrations of foreign voters in Zele.</h4>
The statement came after a suspect from the Turkish community was
arrested earlier this week in Zele and confessed that he fraudulently
registered non-EU voters for the October local elections.<br />
The case involves the registration of a group of foreign residents for the local elections without their consent or knowledge.<br />
"I cannot say who it is because we still cannot criminally prove
anything. The person in question has not yet been charged," prosecution
spokesman Theo Byl said.<br />
He stressed that the suspect was not Okay Özel, the secretary of the Zele mosque and candidate for the CD&V list. <br />
Regional TV broadcaster Kanaal 3 has already accused Özel of registering a group of Turkish voters behind their backs.<br />
But the local CD&V branch reacted angrily: "It is completely
unjust. I have actively participated in the publicity campaign, but I
have not forged any document in any way", Özel said.<br />
Local CD&V chief Rik Lootens added: "It is unimaginable that someone is dragged through the mud without any evidence". <br />
The CD&V has lodged legal action against Kanaal 3.<br />
Non-EU nationals had until 31 July to register for the 8 October
local elections. It will be the first time they will be allowed to vote
at a Belgian election.<br />
To be eligible, foreign residents must have lived in Belgium for at
least fives years and sign a document agreeing to abide by Belgian laws.<br />

First online election in France tarnished by reports of fraud</h1>

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">France’s first online election was marred this week when reporters found
that the supposedly fraud-proof system could be easily gamed, letting
people vote multiple times in an important primary for the office of
Paris Mayor. <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/fake-votes-mar-frances-first-electronic-election-8641345.html" target="_blank">According to <i>The Independent</i></a><i>,</i>
the revelation has led to "an explosion of name-calling" within
France’s center-right UMP party, and calls from one of its candidates,
Pierre-Yves Bournazel, to abandon the primary altogether.</span></span></h1>
In order to register to elect the UMP's candidate for mayor,
Parisians needed a name, some basic personal information like date of
birth and marital status, a phone number, and a credit card for paying
the requisite €3 fee to vote online. <a href="http://www.metronews.fr/paris/municipales-a-paris-comment-metronews-a-fraude-a-la-primaire-de-l-ump/mmeD%21jk3goaowk8DkQ//" target="_blank">Reporters working for France’s <i>Metronews</i></a>
discovered that, armed with only someone’s name and information, they
could register to vote multiple times, even using the same mobile number
and credit card information. One of the journalists even managed to
vote five times, once using the name of former French president Nicolas
Sarkozy.<br />
The specter of fraud looms large following allegations of ballot
stuffing in an election for the UMP's presidential candidate in the
fall, amplified by the fact that Bournazel is running on an
anti-gay-marriage platform. The vulnerability also highlights the <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/11/3479170/why-cant-you-vote-online-elections-us">difficulty in designing electronic voting systems</a>,
although this case seems like a particularly glaring oversight.
Elsewhere, the New York City Board of Elections announced plans last
week to get rid of its new electronic scanners in favor of <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/30/4378922/new-york-city-mayoral-election-lever-machine-voting-electronic-scanners">redeploying 30-year-old mechanical lever machines</a> in two upcoming elections, citing the need for a quick turnaround.<br />

Scytl has all the tools it needs for election fraud</h1>

<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Free Press readers may be familiar with Scytl, the promoter of online
and mobile voting, and their apparent connections to the intelligence
community. Renewed research into Scytl has revealed new connections to
the intelligence community, new market positioning, and new
opportunities for both personalized surveillance and electronic election
fraud...</span></span></h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></h1>
Scytl's 2012 entry into the American election market occurred through
the purchase of SOE software, a Tampa based manufacturer of election
management and reporting software known as the Clarity suite. <a href="http://freepress.org/article/election-software-company-scytl-run-free-press-one-fake-address-next" target="_blank">Scytl initially maintained essentially a front address in Virginia</a>
while digesting SOE during the the 2012 election cycle. Since then
there has been a pattern of SOE rebranding and reorganizing itself along
with a merger and new set of strategic partnerships.<br />
Through looking at Scytl's ownership and investors, we can see a more
frightening pattern of investment and market synergy. In 2012 the Free
Press broke the news of the connection between one <a href="http://freepress.org/article/who-owns-scytl-george-soros-isn%27t-voting-machines-intelligence-community" target="_blank">Scytl's parent companies, Nauta Capital, and Carrier IQ, a maker of mobile phone applications with obvious spyware uses.</a>
Nauta's expansion into this market sector along with an expansion into
mobile devices, voice bio-metrics, social network monitoring, online
gaming, and cloud computing should raise an eyebrow.<br />
SOE is no longer SOE. SOE is now calling itself "SOE, A Scytl
Company." There are no other Scytl companies in the US that have been
identified at the time of this writing. It would appear from this
rebranding that there is the intention of there being more "Scytl
Companies" in the future. This rebranding may be PR deflection of
Scytl's overseas origin and ownership, or it may have a dual purpose.<br />
Representatives of the Ohio Green Party traveled to Tampa in order to
meet with SOE and purchase custom software for tracking voter
registrations and other election management tasks. SOE's name is not on
the office building's marquee or directory and garnering face time with
company officials proved difficult. During the eventual interview the
SOE spokesperson said that the company only does "custom work for
governments" and referred the party to "Scytl" for "specialized election
work."<br />

Spanish company will “Count” American votes overseas in November</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span> <span style="font-size: small;">April 10, 2012</span></h1>
When the Spanish online voting company SCYTL bought the largest vote
processing corporation in the United States, it also acquired the means
of manufacturing the outcome of the 2012 election. For SOE, the Tampa
based corporation purchased by SCYTL in January, supplies the election
software which records, counts, and reports the votes of Americans in 26
states–900 total jurisdictions–across the nation.<br />
As the largest election results reporting company in the US, SOE
provides reports right down to the precinct level. But before going
anywhere else, those election returns are routed to individual, company
servers where the people who run them “…get ‘first look’ at results and
the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout
the USA.” <a href="http://investmentwatchblog.com/foreign-company-buys-u-s-election-results-reporting-firm/#.T4R14JlPt5Z">In short</a>,
“this redirects results …to a centralized privately held server which
is not just for Ohio, but national; not just USA-based, but global.”<br />
And although the votes will be cast in hometown, American precincts
on Election Day, with the Barcelona-based SCYTL taking charge of the
process, they will be routed and counted overseas.<br />

Election Fraud? Add Microsoft’s Allen, Foreign Scytl election software, servers in Spain</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">October 28, 2016</span></h1>
No election fraud coming up? You are looking in the wrong direction.
It is not voter stuffing or dead people voting. I did this post in 2014
and it has only gotten worse. You tell me whats going on.<br />
In what has to be one of the most troubling pieces of news, we learn
that Scytl is on the move in taking control of many world-wide elections
as well as increasing in U.S. elections via electronic means. Now
Microsoft’s Paul Allen has chipped into the pot. Here is the update from
earlier posts you might want to check out. First the back story.<br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">
“Obama donor’s company funds controversial election firm” reads the
headline. We now are turning over our election software to a foreign
company that happens to support Obama.<a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.drudgereport.com/flash1.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">The Drudge Report yesterday</a> ran
a feature titled “Foreign company buys U.S. election results reporting
firm.” The article documented that SCYTL, based in Barcelona, acquired
100 percent of SOE Software, the leading software provider of election
management solutions in the United States. Drudge reports that the best
part is that the election results are redirected not to a USA
server, but to a server overseas.</span></span></h1>
SCYTL, the global leader in secure electronic voting technologies,
announced today the acquisition of 100% of SOE Software, the leading
software provider of election management solutions in the United States.<br />
Why is a software company based in Barcelona Spain(SCYTL) now in
charge of counting our votes in the upcoming General Election on
November 6th. Did the Federal Elections Commission approve of this ?
(FEC) Did the Congress of the United States approve of this ?<br />
The firm already provides balloting for overseas U.S.
military and civilian voting in nine states along with elections
technologies in several districts<br />
With the purchase of SOE Software, meanwhile, SCYTL has increased its
involvement in the U.S. elections process. SOE Software boasts a strong
U.S. presence, providing results in over 900 jurisdictions.<br />
In 2009, SCYTL<a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.scytl.com/en/news_2009.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window"> formally registered </a>with
the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (AEC) as the first Internet
voting manufacturer in the U.S. under the EAC Voting System Testing and
Certification Program.<br />
Project Vote noted that in 2008, the Florida Department of
State commissioned a review of SCYTL’s remote voting software and
concluded, in part, that:<br />
<ul>
<li>The system is vulnerable to attack from insiders.</li>
<li>In a worst case scenario, the software could lead to (1)
voters being unable to cast votes; (2) an election that does not
accurately reflect the will of the voters; and (3) possible disclosure
of confidential information, such as the votes cast by individual
voters.</li>
<li>The system may be subject to attacks that could compromise the integrity of the votes cast...</li>

United
Russia, backed by President Vladimir Putin, is well ahead in the
nation's parliamentary election, taking at least 45%, exit polls
suggest.<br />
Yet throughout the day
there have been reports of voting fraud - and video to back them up. In
some cases, webcams installed at polling stations recorded what appeared
to be election officials stuffing ballot boxes.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="article-text"><span class="article-prime">Voters across
Russia handed a sweeping victory to President Vladimir Putin's allies in
a parliamentary election on Sunday. But in two regions Reuters
reporters saw inflated turnout figures, ballot-stuffing and people
voting more than once at three polling stations.</span>In
the Bashkortostan region's capital Ufa, in the foothills of the Urals,
Reuters reporters counted 799 voters casting ballots at polling station
number 284. When officials tallied the vote later in the day, they said
the turnout was 1,689.<br />
At polling
station 591 in the Mordovia regional capital of Saransk, about 650 km
south-east of Moscow, reporters counted 1,172 voters but officials
recorded a turnout of 1,756. <br />
A
Reuters reporter obtained a temporary registration to vote at that
station, and cast a ballot for a party other than the pro-Putin United
Russia. During the count, officials recorded that not a single vote had
been cast for that party.<br />
Election officials at the stations denied there were violations or count irregularities. <br />
It
is unlikely that any irregularities at these polling stations would
have been on a scale that could have affected the result. <br />
The
incidents are only a narrow snapshot of what was happening across
Russia's 11 time zones and thousands of polling stations on an election
day that was a test of whether support for Putin and his allies had held
up despite a recession and Western sanctions. Reuters was unable to
assess independently if such practices were widespread. <br />
Reuters
sent reporters to a random sample of 11 polling stations across central
and western Russia on polling day, including in and around Moscow. <br />
At
three of them, there were large discrepancies between the number of
voters Reuters reporters counted, and the number that officials
recorded. At four of the other eight, there were also some
irregularities, including smaller discrepancies in the voter tallies and
people saying they had been paid or pressured to vote. <br />
Ella
Pamfilova, chairwoman of Russia's Central Election Commission, told
news briefings that the vote had been more transparent than the previous
election, citing the use of live webcams in some polling stations. <br />
She
said the webcams had shown some cases of vote-rigging, and that they
would be investigated. But she said no one had brought the commission
concrete evidence of large-scale fraud.<br />
After
the last parliamentary election in 2011, which was also won comfortably
by the pro-Putin United Russia party, allegations from opposition
activists of widespread electoral fraud prompted large protests in the
capital Moscow. <br />
The Central
Election Commission did not respond when asked by Reuters to comment on
the incidents seen by reporters. Requests for comment sent to the
regional election commissions for Bashkortostan and Mordovia also
received no replies.<br />
Sunday's
election was "far from anything that could be called free and fair",
Golos, a non-governmental organization that monitors Russian elections,
said in a statement. "The results ... of the monitoring show the
practice of using illegal techniques continues." <br />
It
said its conclusions were based on information collected by observers
it posted to polling stations in 40 out of more than 80 Russian regions.
It said violations reported by the observers included ballot-stuffing
and people voting more than once.</span></span></span></h1>

When Donald Trump suggested in August that the presidential vote might be rigged, his claim <a data-web-url="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/aug/15/donald-trump/donald-trumps-baseless-claims-about-election-being/" href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/aug/15/donald-trump/donald-trumps-baseless-claims-about-election-being/">was dismissed </a>by
fact-checkers and experts who explained that large-scale electoral
fraud is not possible in the U.S. Indeed, it hasn't taken place for
generations. And yet it's useful to keep in mind how easy it is to
subvert an election system: I know, I come from a country where it
happens systematically.<br />
For 10 years after the fall of the Soviet
Union, Russia had a largely fraud-free election system; international
observers certified Russian elections as free and fair in the mid-1990s.
In the 2000s, however, fraud became widespread, and it determined the
outcome of the most recent elections for parliament, on Sept. 18.<br />

Japan PM Shinzo Abe Charged for Election Rigging @ The High Court</h1>

<br />
A group of plaintiffs have filed election protests against Japan’s PM
Abe for having benefited from rigged elections. The High Court of Japan
displayed a very dishonorable conduct, uncharacteristic in Japanese
setting, by employing hundreds of police personnel restricting cameras
even outside the building.<br />
But the people are fighting back…<br />
<br />
The plaintiffs presented the following facts:<br />
<ul>
<li>Voting Machines are manufactured by Musashi Engineering;</li>
<li>Musashi Engineering is controlled by New York based Fortress Asset Management;</li>
<li>Peter L. Briger, Jr., Fortress CEO, is a member of the Rockefeller Trilateral Commission;</li>
<li>PM Shinzo Abe, the defendant, is a major stockholder of Musashi Engineering!</li>
</ul>
We strongly urge you to watch the videos below which show the real
sentiments of the Japanese about their government in relation to the US,
Inc. and an additional clip on one witness programmer who admitted in
court about his authoring of the program used in rigging the US
elections for the Bushes.<br />

<i>TARLAC, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – During
a news conference on Friday, Inoray Malawi, a poll watcher, showed a
Vote Counting Machine (VCM) receipt which seemed to confirm allegations
of massive electoral fraud ahead of the May 9 Philippine presidential
elections. </i><br />
<i>Malawi (pictured above), said that in a dry run for the VCMs, her
ballot receipt contained the name of administration standard-bearer
Manuel Roxas 2nd instead of that of another presidential candidate whom
she “voted” for. </i><br />
<i>Similar ballot receipt fraud allegations have been brought up
during early voting by overseas Filipino voters in the Middle East.</i><br />
Today, yet another incident was reported by an elementary school
teacher assigned as a poll officer in Tarlac, hometown of President
NoyNoy Aquino.<br />
In this latest incident, the teacher said that during the dry run,
she voted for Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. When the ballot receipt was
printed, it showed the name of Donald Trump instead of Duterte.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fraud threat clouds Indonesian polls</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="time"><b> Apr 3, 2009</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
JAKARTA - There is a rising risk that Indonesia's next elected government will
face an immediate legitimacy crisis if mounting complaints about manipulation
of official voters' lists are challenged by losing parties and candidates. That
contentious prospect threatens to make next week's legislative and July's
presidential polls the rockiest of the country's decade-old democratic era.
<br />
<br />
Recent revelations that 27% of the names on the official voters' list were
fraudulent in the November 2008 gubernatorial elections in East Java province
have cast a shadow over hopes for a smooth democratic transition at the polls.
Police investigators in the pivotal province determined that of the 1.2 million
names on the official voters' list, over 345,000 were underage, fictitious, dead or
otherwise ineligible to cast ballots.
<br />
<br />
Investigators have claimed that the scale and pattern of error could not be
attributed to computer glitches or software inadequacies, as originally
postulated by election officials, but were rather the result of systematic
human intervention. Indonesia's Independent Election Supervisory Committee
(KIPP) and the Indonesian Voters Committee (KPI) have also alleged high-level
fraud and manipulation of lists for political purposes...<br />

continued to maintain rigid control over the election process. Despite
considerable efforts in preventing a small number of opposition
candidates from standing during the election through the use of army
soldiers bussed in to stuff ballot boxes to support the pro-government
candidates, two independent candidates from the opposition were elected –

India's Election Problem: Votes for Sale</h1>
<h2 class="sub-head" itemprop="description">
<span style="font-size: small;">May 9, 2014</span></h2>
<br />
The big question for some voters as India's marathon national
election reaches its final stages isn't who will win, it is how much
candidates will dole out in cash, alcohol and other goodies to bag their
support.<br />
Residents and election officials alike say vote-buying
has long been a problem in the world's largest democracy, even though it
is against the law. Early reports suggest it may be widespread again in
the current round, which began April 7 and ends Monday. Results are
expected four days later.<br />
In the northern state of Punjab, for
instance, election-monitoring teams have seized over 100 kilograms (220
pounds) of heroin, 50 kilograms of opium and thousands of liters of
illicit alcohol that they believe may have been meant for buying votes.<br />
In
the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, police are investigating possible
criminal charges against the wife of a candidate who was caught
carrying $75,000 in cash in a computer bag while traveling on a public
bus to her husband's constituency. The woman denied any wrongdoing...<br />

Two government ministers were arrested and at least four people were
killed Saturday amid reports of large-scale election fraud during voting
in Bihar, India's most lawless state.<br />
Election-related unrest was
also reported elsewhere in India during the fourth round of voting for a
new federal Parliament. India's national elections are staggered, with
different parts of the country voting on different days.<br />
The
deaths in Bihar were far fewer than the 39 killed in last week's polling
there. This time, 75,000 police, reservists and soldiers were sent to
prevent violence.<br />
Fifty-one percent of the 80 million people
eligible to vote Saturday cast their ballots in nine states, an election
spokesman said. Voting is now completed in 418 of India's 534
Parliament constituencies.<br />

Myanmar Election Body Cancels Vote in Two More Shan State Townships</h1>
<br />
<span id="story_date">2015-10-27</span><br />
<br />
Myanmar’s Union Election Commission (UEC), which oversees polls in the
country, announced Tuesday that next month’s general election will not
be held in two additional townships in war-torn Shan state, meaning
residents of either part or all of 16 townships in the region are not
eligible to vote.<br />
<br />
In a statement, the UEC said the Nov. 8 vote
would be canceled in all of Monghsu and Kyethi townships, in Shan
state’s Loilen district, as well as in eight villages in Lashio
district’s Tangyan township and 42 villages in Hopang township, in the
state’s ethnic Wa Self-Administered Division.<br />
<br />
The UEC claimed
that the situation in the newly declared no-vote areas is “not conducive
to free and fair elections,” without providing further details, and
cited Article 10(F) of the Union Election Commission Law which grants
the body the right to cancel elections in the event of regional
instability.<br />
<br />
Fighting between the Shan State Army-North
(SSA-N)—the armed wing of the Shan State Progressive Party (SSPP)—and
government troops in areas near Monghsu, Kyethi and Tangyan since Oct. 6
has displaced about 3,000 residents in the region.<br />
<br />
Last week,
the Shan Nationalities Democratic Party (SNDP) called on the UEC to
postpone the election in the three townships until fighting dies down.<br />

<i>Nov. 8, 2010</i><br />
<br />
Dozens of Burma border-based organizations with feeds from human
rights organizations and exile media launched a website to share
citizen reports of widespread abuse and fraud around the first
elections in Burma in 20 years. Burma Election Tracker <a href="http://www.burmaelectiontracker.org/"> (</a><a href="http://www.burmaelectiontracker.org/" title="www.burmaelectiontracker.org">www.burmaelectiontracker.org</a>)
shows detailed reports, eye witness accounts, pictures and video
gathered through established networks of civic organizations operating
throughout Burma. The site also provides ongoing analysis and
recommendations. <br />
The group concluded that “The reports that we have gathered
demonstrate that these elections are deeply flawed, and are
fundamentally illegitimate, unfree, unfair and undemocratic.”<br />
More than <a href="http://www.burmaelectiontracker.org/reports">300 reports have been posted on the site</a>,
varying from stories of voter intimidation to journalists being
arrested and refugees streaming into neighboring Thailand due to
election-related violence. The site will be updated continuously over

How to buy an election in Asia</h1>

BANGKOK, Thailand — Across Asia’s rickety democracies, there is at
least one season when the poor can trust politicians to visit their
villages and share the spoils of power.</div>
That would be the weeks leading up to election day.<br />
<b>(More Photos: <a href="http://globalpost.com/photo-galleries/5671106/leopard-attacks-indian-village-photos" target="_blank">Amazing leopard attack</a><a href="http://globalpost.com/photo-galleries/5671106/leopard-attacks-indian-village-photos" target="_blank"> in India</a>)</b><br />
Since the rise of democracies over dictatorships in Southeast Asia,
clean election advocates have tried everything to convince villagers of
their votes’ sanctity. A Filipino archbishop once urged voters to “take
the bait but not the hook”: pocket the cash, if you must, but vote with
your heart.<br />
But while vote buying is illegal throughout the region, pre-election
handouts of cash and gifts remain endemic in many parts of Asia.
Enforcers once forced voters to use carbon paper in the booth to prove
they’d ticked the right box. Now they demand mobile phone snapshots of
ballots, a practice that triggered a phone ban in Thailand’s polling
stations.<br />
Why are voters who can afford camera phones willing to sell their vote
for $10 — the Asia Foundation’s estimated average price per vote in
Thailand’s July elections?<br />
The answer eludes reformists who have long hoped rising incomes across
Asia would erode the practice. Instead, experts believe the price per
vote is going up and vote-buying methods are only growing more
sophisticated.<br />

E-voting in Local Elections in Kyrgyzstan Fails to Put an End to Fraud</h1>

<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">Community-Focused Bribery</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As a rule, in Kyrgyzstan, public
schools, kindergartens, universities, and other state buildings are used
as polling stations. As part of their contractual responsibilities, key
administrative staff from these institutions serves as election
committee members on election day. Many of these officials are
vulnerable to manipulation by political parties, as they may lose their
jobs if they refuse to collaborate in rigging the election results. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As independent observers from the
Coalition and Taza Shailoo noted, during the March elections, many
election committee members were subjected to enormous pressure to
deliver votes from political parties. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Tashanov, in order to
maximize results, political parties gave money only to loyal people who
distributed the funds through their networks. These parties chose
candidates based on their place of residence, believing these
individuals would be able to more effectively exert influence on their
communities through family and clan networks. Clans, which are informal
social units, play a significant role in the social, economic, and
political life of Kyrgyzstan. By funneling money through these units,
parties could ensure that their bribes would yield the results they
wanted.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Uzbek candidates and electioneers
concentrated on bribing the city’s Uzbek communities. Tashanov claimed
that in Osh’s Amir Timur Uzbek community, one ‘electioneer’ was tasked
with giving out approximately 200,000 soms (about 2,800 USD at the time)
to collect 16,000 votes for his party. The money was a windfall for
many Uzbek families, who have an average of six to seven adult members
and, as a result, earned approximately 6,000-7,000 soms (85-100 USD) –
the equivalent of a month’s salary for a state employee in Osh – in a
single day.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">During the October 2015 elections,
some voters – mostly in Kyrgyz communities – managed to take multiple
bribes from different parties, while still voting for the party they
preferred. To avoid this, parties operating within these communities
adopted an additional safeguard during the March election: voters were
given half the money before voting, and the rest afterwards. As proof
they had cast their ballot for the bribing party, voters had to show
their vote sheets to an election committee member affiliated with that
party, before collecting their remaining money. </span><br />
<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">Eliminating Vote Rigging?</span></h1>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">All in all, after the March vote, </span><a href="http://www.ca-portal.ru/article:26158"><span style="font-weight: 400;">twenty-two people</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> were questioned for bribery linked to the elections, although their cases were eventually dropped. According to article 140 of </span><a href="http://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/ru/kg/kg144ru.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, voter bribery is a crime punishable by fine or imprisonment up to five years.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether the Kyrgyz government will
develop the political will to truly tackle election rigging remains to
be seen. But, what is clear is that new technologies, like e-voting,
cannot eliminate widespread electoral fraud, all by themselves. </span><br />

Statistical Tests Suggestive of Fraud in Iran's Election

<div class="ad-in-text-target">
An American statistician says strong statistical evidence
backs up the claims of Iranian protestors that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s
victory in the June election was fraudulent.</div>
<div class="ad-in-text-target">
Walter Mebane of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor
analyzed Iranian election data and found anomalies strongly suggesting
that ballot boxes were stuffed with extra votes for Ahmadinejad. Mebane
also identified 81 towns where further investigations are likely to find
evidence of fraud.</div>
<div class="ad-in-text-target">
“This suggests that the actual outcome should have been
pretty close,” says Mebane, who described his analysis on a paper posted
on his website June 15 and updated June 29. The official results showed
Ahmadinejad getting almost twice as many votes as his closest rival.</div>

The Devil Is in the Digits: Evidence That Iran's Election Was Rigged</h1>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">June 20, 2009</span></h1>
Since the declaration of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's landslide victory in
Iran's presidential election, accusations of fraud have swelled. Against
expectations from pollsters and pundits alike, Ahmadinejad did
surprisingly well in urban areas, including Tehran -- where he is
thought to be highly unpopular -- and even Tabriz, the capital city of
opposition candidate Mir Hussein Mousavi's native East Azarbaijan
province.
<br />
Others have pointed to the surprisingly poor performance of Mehdi
Karroubi, another reform candidate, and particularly in his home
province of Lorestan, where conservative candidates fared poorly in
2005, but where Ahmadinejad allegedly captured 71 percent of the vote.
Eyebrows have been raised further by the relative consistency in
Ahmadinejad's vote share across Iran's provinces, in spite of wide
provincial variation in past elections.<br />
<br />
These pieces of the story point in the direction of fraud, to be sure.
They have led experts to speculate that the election results released by
Iran's Ministry of the Interior had been altered behind closed doors.
But we don't have to rely on suggestive evidence alone. We can use
statistics more systematically to show that this is likely what
happened. Here's how.

Iraq's election commission has taken center-stage in a battle over ballot-rigging allegations.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">The alleged violations included ballot boxes that went missing and later reappeared during polling, said Husseini.<br /><br />IHEC officials said they had also investigated complaints that parties had been campaigning at the gates of polling stations.<br /><br />They
said they had received reports of voters casting ballots on behalf of
family members and of party officials interfering at the polling
stations.<br /><br />Husseini said there were "not many" reports of such
violations and the commission did not deem them to be among the most
serious irregularities.<br /><br />"Many alliances have submitted complaints but the majority were general and did not provide proof or details," she said.<br /><br />Sadr
and Allawi loyalists claimed members of the security forces, who were
allowed to cast their ballots early, voted twice. IHEC official Tamimi
said six of the 20 serious irregularities had occurred during early
voting.<br /><br />Some voters said they witnessed fraud at the polls. Ali
al-Ubedi, 19, a university student in Baghdad, said an election observer
handed him a shred of paper as he walked to the voting booth and
whispered in his ear to vote for his list.<br /><br />Ubedi says he opened the paper in the booth and saw the number for an alliance contending seats in Baghdad's provincial council.<br /><br />Abu
Qasim, a 44-year-old government employee in Baghdad, said he saw an
election observer issuing ten U.S. dollar mobile phone cards in front of
a polling station.<br /><br />"When I saw this, I returned home without
voting because I realised that the country is ruined and the elections
don't mean anything anymore," he said.<br /><br />The most prevalent
complaint -- that citizens could not vote because their names were
missing from polling station registries -- was not considered a
violation.<br /><br />The problem is thought to have most affected Iraq's
displaced -- people who fled their homes in the sectarian conflict that
followed the last election in 2005.<br /><br />Election commission officials
said Iraqis were confused by new voter registration rules and either
went to the wrong polling stations or had simply not registered to vote
in this election.<br /><br />Ballot officials have repeatedly insisted that
the problem was not widespread, contrary to claims by voters, party
leaders and some election observers.<br /><br />Joost Hiltermann of the
International Crisis Group, a non-profit body that monitors conflicts,
told IWPR the "electoral commission has a vested interest in playing
down the phenomenon."<br /><br />"The matter should be investigated by an
independent agency, which should make recommendations so as to prevent a
similar problem in the parliamentary elections," he said.<br /><br />IHEC official Husseini said the same voter registration system would be used in Iraqi elections scheduled for later this year.<br /><br />Foreign observers have yet to comment on whether the IHEC investigated the fraud claims competently.</span></span></h1>

could alter the outcome of Saturday's election, providing the clearest
indication yet that voting irregularities occurred during provincial
balloting.

A coalition of parties that competed against the Iraqi Islamic Party in
Anbar submitted complaints that the commission considers grave,
commission chief Faraj al-Haidari said. "We will deal with it seriously
because it might change the result of the election in this province," he
said.<br />

"I am afraid of the bad consequences if the results of the election will

Murdhi al-Duleimi, the province's chief of security operations. "I am
afraid that we will return to the starting point due to the increase in
threats."

Ongoing investigations into Conservative spending at 2015 general election could still unsettle government.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Before British politics got swept up in a whirlwind of Brexit,
leadership challenges and a change of cabinet, one of the biggest
stories was the allegations surrounding Conservative general election
spending in 2015.<br />
The hashtag <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23toryelectionfraud&src=tyah">#ToryElectionFraud</a>
was trending on Twitter, and people were speculating that the
revelations could lead to prosecutions, to MPs losing their seats, and
that it could even bring down David Cameron’s government.<br />
<h2>
What are the allegations?</h2>
There are two main sets of allegations.<br />
<a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.channel4.com/news/election-expenses-exposed">Channel 4 News claims</a>
to have uncovered thousands of pounds worth of spending on hotel rooms
for Conservative activists during the Rochester and Strood, Clacton and
Newark byelections that weren’t declared as part of the local campaign
activity. This is also alleged to have been part of their campaign to
prevent Nigel Farage winning South Thanet in the 2015 general election.<br />
<a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/busted-29-tories-how-broke-7467603">The Daily Mirror subsequently cast doubt</a>
on the way the Tories allocated expenditure for their “Battlebus 2015”
campaign. The bus appears to have cost more than £2,000 a day to run,
but the expense was deemed to be a national campaigning cost, so wasn’t
allocated to the constituencies where the bus and the volunteers
staffing it were campaigning.<br />

Tories withheld key documents from election fraud investigation, Electoral Commission says</h1>

The Conservative Party withheld key documents from an investigation
into possible electoral fraud by the party, the elections watchdog has
revealed.<br />
The Electoral Commission on Thursday applied for a High Court order
to force the Tories to hand over the missing papers – which it says
would help shed light on whether the party broke spending rules in key
marginal seats at the general election.<br />
<span style="line-height: 1.6;">Police across the country have
announced criminal investigations into the Conservative Party’s conduct
at the general election after a Channel 4 News investigation alleged it
might have broken spending rules.</span><br />
<br />
According to the broadcaster, the party allegedly failed to locally
declare the costs of bussing activists around to marginal seats –
activity which could potentially have swung hotly contested marginals in
their favour.<br />
Between 20 and 30 marginal seats were reportedly visited by the
bussed-in activists; the Tories ultimately only won a majority of 12,
allowing them to form a majority government.<br />
If electoral law is found to have been broken then punishments could include fines and prison sentences. <br />

A judge has raised the prospect that some of the Conservatives’
general election victories could be voided as he granted more time for
Kent police to investigate <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/12/nine-police-forces-investigate-claims-tories-breached-election-spending-rules">allegations of electoral fraud</a> by the party.<br />
District Judge Barron outlined in court the reasons for extending the
time period for Kent police to examine the accusations, after a Channel
4 investigation raised questions about Tory election spending in South
Thanet – where the party was fighting Ukip leader Nigel Farage. <br />
In his summary, he said: “In my judgment the combination of
circumstances before me is wholly exceptional and goes far beyond the
usual circumstances that would exist in a typical case where election
offences are being investigated.”<br />
The allegations centre on Tory campaign spending in the constituency of South Thanet during last year’s general election. <br />

Govt Report: Massive Voter Fraud In Muslim Areas, No Challenge Because Of ‘Political Correctness’</h1>

<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">Massive levels of electoral fraud have gone unchallenged as a result
of “political correctness”, according to an official new report from
the UK government.</span></h2>
The <i>Telegraph</i> <a class="x5l" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/11/election-fraud-allowed-to-take-place-in-muslim-communities-becau/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">reports</a>
that a new report commissioned by former Communities Secretary Sir Eric
Pickles reveals that UK authorities are in a “state of denial” and are
“turning a blind eye” to election fraud in heavily populated Muslim
areas.<br />
According to the report, voter fraud is occurring “especially in
communities of Pakistani and Bangladeshi background”, but concerns have
been largely ignored due to “over-sensitivities about ethnicity and
religion”.<br />
The new information confirms <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/02/11/1-in-4-votes-in-tower-hamlets-completed-by-same-person/">reports</a> <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/04/23/watch-rahman-was-breitbart-londons-first-scalp-but-its-not-over-yet/">repeatedly</a> raised by Breitbart London. In 2014, Breitbart London <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2014/05/27/tower-hamlets-count-an-ominshambles-according-to-cllr/">reported on threats and chaos</a> at <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/tag/tower-hamlets/">Tower </a>Hamlets polling stations.<br />
<h1 class="trb_ar_hl_t" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></h1>
First Lady of the U.S. Michelle Obama visited a school in Tower Hamlets in the summer of 2015 <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/06/16/mrs-obama-in-britain-visits-bangladeshi-dominated-school-which-hosts-hard-left-conferences-in-islamist-friendly-borough/">where she declared</a>: “When
I look out at all these young women, I see myself. In so many ways your
story is my story”. She added, in her speech to the Mulberry School for
Girls – most of whom where hijab-clad, that the area was full of
“families [who] are tight knit… with strong values”.<br />
According to the <i>Telegraph</i>, the new report sees Sir Eric
warning that “challenging issues” over community cohesion should not be
an “excuse” for failing to “uphold the rule of law and protect British
liberties”.<br />
His
recommendations include banning officials from using any other language
than English to communicate with voters at polling stations, as well as
calling for voter identification and police cordons around polling
stations.<br />
According to Sir Eric, who was removed as Communities Secretary in
May 2015, a lack of action by police to tackle electoral fraud “sends a
worrying signal that the police are soft on tackling and prosecuting
electoral fraud, when faced with competing operational demands”.<br />
He said: “We should never be frightened to look under the rock when
what is crawling underneath threatens us all. It is time to take action
to take on the electoral crooks and defend Britain’s free and fair
elections.”<br />
And he specifically attacked “foreign languages” used to communicate with voters at polling stations.<br />
The report highlights “abuses of postal voting” and “evidence” of
“pressure being put on vulnerable members of some ethnic minority
communities, particularly women and young people”.<br />
“There were concerns that influence and intimidation within
households may not be reported,” the report states, “and that state
institutions had turned a blind eye to such behaviour because of
‘politically correct’ over-sensitivities about ethnicity and religion.”<br />

The Cancer of Electoral Fraud in Australia</h2>

<div class="style1">
A matter which will be considered in future issues of
the "National Observer", but which has now assumed great urgency, is
electoral
fraud.</div>
<div class="style1">
It must be understood that the Australian electoral system is
open to large-scale fraud. It is possible to enrol as a voter, or re-enrol many
times, by filling in an enrolment form, having it witnessed by a person
"eligible to be an elector" or witnessing it oneself under a false name, and
posting it to an electoral office.</div>
<div class="style1">
For example, Mr. Robert Patching, Divisional Returning
Officer for the Federal seat of Rankin, reported after the 1996 election that he
had discovered 217 people on the electoral roll who were not in fact eligible to
be there. Even this alarming figure far understates the number of persons
improperly on the roll. Other reports have indicated enrolled voters claiming to
be living on what turned out to be vacant blocks and as many as eleven
untraceable enrolled voters claiming to be living in a single dwelling.</div>

Electoral fraud occurred during the last federal election, a federal
court judge ruled on Thursday, but there is no proof that it affected
the outcomes in six ridings at issue, so the elections will not be
overturned.<br />
<br />
The court challenge was brought by the Council of Canadians, which
sought to overturn the election of six Conservative MPs who won close
ridings where there was evidence that someone tried to affect the
results by calling opposition supporters and telling them their polling
stations had moved.<br />
<br />
Federal Court Judge Richard Mosley ruled that the calls “struck at
the integrity of the electoral process by attempting to dissuade voters
from casting ballots for their preferred candidates. This form of ‘voter
suppression,’ was, until the 41st General Election, largely unknown in
this country.”<br />

Voter Fraud Concerns In East Toronto Widespread</h1>
<span class="posted">03/14/2012 </span><br />
<br />
Allegations of widespread voting irregularities in an east Toronto
federal riding are similar to complaints from a neighbouring riding and a
municipal byelection held nearby, two people closely involved say.<br />
<br />
"This
should have come out a long time ago," Muttukumaru Chandrakumaran, who
ran in a municipal byelection in Ajax, Ont., said Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Chandrakumaran
was responding to a CBC News investigation on Tuesday that uncovered
allegations of electoral fraud concentrated in the Tamil community in
the riding of Scarborough-Rouge River. Those allegations, which span
both the federal and provincial ridings, centre largely on what appears
to be a lack of oversight surrounding election-day additions to the
official voters list.<br />
<br />
Chandrakumaran said he
remembers groups of people from his Tamil community who were not on the
voters list showing up at polling stations during the 2008 vote and
claiming to live at the same address.<br />
<br />
"Up to 26 people were voting from one house," he said.<br />
<br />
<h3>
'Elections Canada, it's like talking to a wall'</h3>
Chandrakumaran said he complained to police and Elections Canada with no response.<br />
<br />
"Elections Canada, it's like talking to a wall," he said.<br />
<br />
<br />
CBC
reported Tuesday that Marlene Gallyot, the federal Conservative
candidate who lost to the NDP's Rathika Sitsabaiesan in
Scarborough-Rouge River has complained to Elections Canada, alleging
ineligible voters "by the dozens" turned up on voting day and filed
ballots illegally. She also said scrutineers — party volunteers who
oversee voting on behalf of candidates — were approaching voters at
polling stations, speaking to them in Tamil and coaching them on who to
vote for.<br />
<br />
Mano Kanagamany, who has worked on
Liberal Party campaigns in east Toronto for 25 years, said Wednesday
that he and former Scarborough Southwest candidate Michelle Simson filed
a complaint with Elections Canada after the last federal election over
concerns about illegal voters.<br />
