More election fraud info

We have seen Democrats crying about vote fraud since they failed at stealing the 2000 election. In 2004 they made allegations in state that they lost narrowly like Ohio. Since then, many cases of voter fraud have been uncovered in various states. Problem for the Dem's is all the cases that have been found have been committed by their party. Now it looks like Michigan can be added to the list.

But the most poignant findings were stories from those in nursing homes who had recently voted absentee.

Among them is Charles B. Allen, a resident at the Passion Caring Home for the Elderly who stared blankly one day last week when asked to name the mayor of Detroit. He's never heard of Kwame Kilpatrick and can't recall whether he voted. "I just don't know," Allen said. Six years ago, a Wayne County probate judge declared the 87-year-old legally incapacitated due to dementia and Alzheimer's. But according to city records, he voted in the August primary by absentee ballot. He did so with the aid of Rose Johnson, one of City Clerk Jackie Currie's 50 election assistants, who met with him in a private room and helped complete his ballot,

It gets worse.

• Two people in unrelated civil cases filed against Currie have given sworn statements that they witnessed Currie's workers filling out empty absentee ballots after the polls had closed.

This is nothing new for Detroit City Clerk Jackie Currie.

Currie's problems with absentee voting go back decades. She and her late husband, Charmie Currie Jr., were charged in 1964 with conspiring to solicit 21 people to sign applications for absentee ballots and later advising them on how to mark their ballots. Currie's husband pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge, and the prosecutor dismissed charges against Currie on grounds that "she acted out of love for her husband."

Amazing that a crook like her is running elections in a major U.S. city. But she does have an answer for her critics.

"Prove it," Currie said. "P-R-O-V-E."

Lets hope they do.
