Voter Fraud Comes Early, 2010

The USA has, in the eyes of the world, become more and more corrupt in the past two years, reports the New York Times. Transparency International's survey of world populations found that people view the U.S. as more corrupt now then it was during the Bush administration, falling from 19th place to 22nd.

As if answering in the affirmative, now voter fraud has crept up in Democratic states that look to make the switch from Blue to Red. In Illinois, President Obama's home State, the local government failed to meet the deadline to mail absentee ballots to soldiers over seas, effectively disenfranchising voters who have volunteered to serve their country.

Now reports are coming in from North Carolina and Nevada, where voters casting their ballots early discovered that the electronic voting machines were already showing votes, or changing votes from Republican to Democrat. Sam Laughinghouse of Craven County NC tried to vote party-line for the Republicans, only to have the machine switch his vote to a ballot cast in favor of the Democrats, according to the Sun Journal.

A similar story has also been reported by the FOX 5 local affiliate in Nevada, where Joyce Ferrara of Clark County NV, along with friends and family, cast their votes for Tea Party upstart Sharron Angle (R) only to have their votes switched by the machine to a ballot cast in favor of Sen. Harry Reid (D). Larry Lomax, Clark County Registrar of Voters, blamed the sensitivity of the machine's touch screens and the age of voters for the problem. Added to fears of voter fraud, the technicians working on the voting machine are members of SEIU.

The Service Employees International Union has supported Reid, donating $63 million to elect Barack Obama in 2008, $44 million in the current election cycle. Former SEIU president Andy Stern now works in the Obama Whitehouse. All of this in the wake of a new Rasmussen poll showing Sharron Angle leading Harry Reid by four points.

With only one week left before the vast majority of voters head to the polls to voice their desire for change and a new direction, corruption and the looming cloud of voter fraud may embitter Americans even more, while the nations of the world watch with lowered expectations of U.S. honor and integrity on the world scene.
