vote fraud

In the days before nursing homes and long-term care facilities were in a state of perpetual lockdown, Election Day was an event. Older Pennsylvanians, among the state’s most dedicated voters, strolled into the lobby of the facility where they lived or hopped on a shuttle to a polling place. Others voted absentee and slipped their ballots into the mail, little worry about backlogs or delays. Today, Pennsylvania’s nursing homes, where the coronavirus took thousands of lives and turned the world upside down, are no longer polling places. Many facilities require those who leave the building to quarantine upon return, and some still don’t allow visitors, such as loved ones who could help a resident fill out a ballot or put it in the right envelope.

In a rare move, a Superior Court judge this week threw out the November election results for a City Council seat, ordering a new election after finding that the city's Democratic chairwoman took advantage of elderly nursing home residents.

A Hialeah boletera at the center of a weeklong absentee-ballot investigation that muddied the Miami-Dade mayor’s race was arrested Thursday after police say she fraudulently obtained an absentee ballot from a terminally ill woman in a nursing home.

Now O’Keefe has trained his cameras on “ballot harvesting,” in which third parties collect mail-in ballots and deliver them to election officials. While illegal in some states, it is legal in California and other states. The individual collecting the ballots can even be a paid campaign worker for someone who is on the ballot. So-called ballot brokers will target certain communities, apartment complexes, or nursing homes to collect votes for their political party.

Investigators said Mohamed opened a post office box under the name of a nursing home, then “forged at least 84 voter registration applications” and sent those ballots to that post office box. The sheriff’s office put the post office under surveillance and waited on the person who had access to that box to retrieve the ballots.

During one recorded audio, Gloria Palmer explains that in addition to block walking and traditionally campaigning, she also has access to nursing homes with “codes to get in.” Palmer then explains that in the nursing home she “will get them to absentee vote for who we’re working for.” She also tells the caller she helps senior citizens fill out absentee ballots, and also mails the ballots for them.

Lucy Corrato, a 91-year-old former South Philadelphia resident, is a longtime, dedicated nonvoter. She arrived at St. Francis Center for Rehabilitation & Health Care in 2014 having deliberately avoided voting for decades.

A concerned citizen who serves as Chief Election Observer in a town in Wisconsin is blowing the whistle on how nursing home residents' votes are easily stolen. In an email to the "Dan O'Donnell Show," the person, whose name and identifying information have been redacted because of a fear of reprisal, explains in detail how fraud works at the assisted living facility in the community in which they live.

Through my nationwide contacts in the Election Integrity space, I have pieced together several new approaches to voter fraud that have been assembled by the Democrats. The approaches were developed and tested over the last several elections and are now ready for deployment during the 2016 election to make sure their candidate wins the White House.
