ELECTION WORKER WHO TRIED TO LET FELONS VOTE CHARGED WITH … FELONIES
Fight against frauds expanding across nation
Bob Unruh
It was back in 2008 when comedian Al Franken trailed incumbent Minnesota Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in a U.S. Senate race when the counting stopped.
But after a recount and an eight-month court challenge, officials declared Franken the winner by 312 votes, with nearly 3 million votes cast.
A Minnesota organization revealed that at least 341 convicted felons voted illegally in the state’s Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located, and another 52 voted illegally in adjacent Ramsey County, home to St. Paul.
It means Franken may be sitting in the U.S. Senate now, nitpicking at Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch’s record, because felons illegally voted for him.
“I don’t presume to know how those [ineligible voters] cast their ballots. I can’t say,” Dan McGrath of Minnesota Majority told WND at the time.
“What I do know is that because of the fraud that was in the system, we don’t know if we elected the person the people really wanted to elect.
“The number of felons voting in those two counties alone exceeds … Franken’s victory margin,” according to the analysis.
It’s just one of the issues facing America and its election system following years of resistance from President Obama’s Department of Justice to common-sense procedures that would allow officials to ensure their voters are U.S. citizens who are legally registered to vote.
But it’s being taken more seriously now.
