for his team members to &#8220;help&#8221; the elderly fill out their absentee ballots.\u00a0 He also utilized paid operatives in nursing homes to go room to room and help patients fill out their ballots.\u00a0 He noted that when he was working on a campaign in New Jersey, he found that homeless shelters offered a nearly inexhaustible pool of reliable-buyable voters.<\/p>\n<p>It has been clear for decades that in close Congressional races, for example, a few hundred votes can make the difference in who goes to Washington.\u00a0 In a state such as California, with 52 House seats, where almost all the county registrars of voters and the Secretary of State are Democrats, there is very little interest in verifying ballots at election time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every election year some candidates argue that voter fraud might have determined the outcome of close races.\u00a0 The President has made the claim several times.\u00a0 The mainstream media&#8217;s response has consistently been to label such claims as baseless, often quoting Secretaries of State saying that there is no evidence of fraud.\u00a0 One recent example is Danielle Echeverria&#8217;s story in The San Francisco Chronicle &#8220;Trump recycles evidence-free charge of California voter fraud.&#8221;\u00a0 She checked with Alex Padilla, the Democrat Secretary of State in one-party governed California, who made it clear, &#8220;Trump&#8217;s lies about voter fraud are patently untrue.&#8221;\u00a0 Is it possible that Mr. Padilla has never really looked into it, because his party always wins?\u00a0 This blanket denial squares poorly with a Monday story in MyNewsLA about two criminals who have plead guilty to submitting hundreds of ballots with forged signatures in Los Angeles.\u00a0 Seven other co-defendants have either plead no-contest or guilty, while an eighth awaits trial.\u00a0 No telling how many others in California were submitting fake ballots but have not yet been caught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-scan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lying About Voter Fraud - Crime &amp;
