I wondered what that smell was in Camden

Bart, do you know what this means?

They were certainly dedicated.

/or is that dessicated?

Any statement from Conyers and Boxer?


I didn't think so.

You won, get over it. Asshat.

Let's put the dead to work. They can teach submitter how to put together a sentence.

Bad grammar got greenlit.

/what's this Fark coming to?

6,000 deceased people voted in the New Jersey last November 2004.

Not just any New Jersey. The New Jersey.

"If the Republican Party conducted the investigation, it's safe to assume that the facts and figures are wrong and the findings are suspect," Democratic spokesman Richard McGrath said.

Well...isn't that an open-minded assumption.

Methinks he doth protest too much....arrrr.

SnitzL: And I bet all 600 voted for Kerry



I want this guy tallying the results.

Why did submitter use "GEORGE BUSH" as title? Why not Republican Analysis? or Republican Study? Just curious.

This article does point out one of the most significant issues in USA politics: the loyal opposition does not exist. The good of the country is subservient to party politics.

Quote:
The State Democratic Committee dismissed the opposition's conclusions.

"If the Republican Party conducted the investigation, it's safe to assume that the facts and figures are wrong and the findings are suspect," Democratic spokesman Richard McGrath said. "If an investigation is needed, it should be done the right way, not the Republican way."

Unquote.

No matter that the potential for such blatant voter fraud could destroy the entire democratic process in this country. No matter that no election would ever be trusted by either side if this were true. No, the only response to this possibility is that the other side is obviously lying.

Sad. It seems to me that Americans prior to the Vietnam era (or maybe prior to the Kennedy assassination) were firmly of the opinion that no matter how much political parties disagreed, we were all committed to the good of the country. It would seem that the controlling interests in the Democratic Party today would prefer a civil war to continuing Republican control in government.

One apparently unforeseen issue is that if the left succeeds in destroying the legitimacy of the presidency and by extension government in general, a democratic administration is similarly without validity. If I were a conspiracy nut, I might come to the conclusion that it is the American form of government that is under attack, with Bush as the excuse for the inflammatory rhetoric.

It appears that the deceased turnout is down

I submitted this with better engrish. Oh and I actually read the articl, which says "4,755 deceased people cast ballots in November elections" not 6000.

Election fraud?! In NJ?! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! Next you'll tell me my high property taxes are due to corruption on the municipal level


....



oh....

/NJ: Corruption and you

I went with rare spelling of article as "articl" for emphasis.

10 years ago this would have read:

It would seem that the controlling interests in the Democratic Republican Party today would prefer a civil war to continuing Republican Democratic control in government.

What goes around, comes around. The only time things get done is when one party is firmly in command by a large margin.

More than 6,500 voters cast ballots both in New Jersey and another state in last November's election, while 4,755 ballots were cast by deceased voters, Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson said.

I refuse to believe that there is another state besides the New Jersey.

6,000 deceased people voted in the New Jersey last November 2004.

What about the old Jersey?

Hey man, even the dead have rights! Why shouldn't they have a say in our government? Huh?

tarrant84: Hey man, even the dead have rights!

Screw that! First it's the dead people voting, then it'll be zombies overrunning our towns and dating our daughters!

People who commit vote fraud should be put in jail and have the key thrown away.

Everyone's Collective Imaginary Friend: 6,000 deceased people voted in the New Jersey last November 2004.

Not just any New Jersey. The New Jersey.

And not just any November 2004, the last November 2004.

The liberals have no valid argument against this, so they attack the submitter's grammar! Thanks for confirming what I already suspected.

Asshats.

No, Snowball, not you too!!

Hon, should I wear the old jersey to tonights game or the new jersey?

/really got nothing

Voter fruad is ? Since when?

Gives "vote or die" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?

lol, froo-add

So...who did they vote for, then? I'm "dying" to know!

Vote early, vote often.

eddyatwork: Screw that! First it's the dead people voting, then it'll be zombies overrunning our towns and dating our daughters!

Oh? So you think you're better than the deceased? Huh? Just because you're alive? You think you're not prejudice against them just because you had one over for dinner? Or you like zombie movies?

All you living are the same. Sure you say you "like" zombies, or you're not "prejudice" against them, but as soon as a zombie starts dating your daughter, well, that's a different story!

Call me when the state produces its own findings.

/How many people did Florida Republicans stop from voting because they had names similar to those of convicted felons?

I'm all for an investigation of voting irregularities, if the GOP's numbers show a credible amount of fraud.

But this is still The New Jersey we're talking about. There's no chance we're sending any Republicans to The D.C. no matter how much voting fraud occurs.

Asshats.

Hey, lets not play the blame game here.

Besides, your post is just the other side of the shiatty cycle we're in. One side gets caught doing something dirty, other side gets all indignant and righteous about it, then the other side does something dirty, etc. and the cycle continues.

Nobody cares about doing the right thing, only about doing what will help them win or help their enemies lose. There's no respect for the system whatsoever.

For a prime example, look back at the 2000 elections. Neither side gave a shiat about the true will of the people. You partisan pricks are the sheep that let these people stay in power.

Mr. Burns surrenders

Shiver me Timbers! Now we be havin' Gray states, along wit' the Red and the Blue!

Arrrrrr!

Just off the top of my head...

Jesse Jackson wants to know if what percentage of that 6,000 was black.

or...

That's great news... 'cause the zombie demographic was underepresented in 2000.

or...

No cremation without representation!

dorks_: Voter fruad is cool? Since when?

Maybe it's proof of life after death. That'd be pretty cool.

Unless we all go to The New Jersey after we all die - I'd rather be worm food.

Half of them voted for "Giant Douche" and the other half voted for "Turd Sandwich."

What goes around, comes around. The only time things get done is when one party is firmly in command by a large margin.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there. When the Democrats were in power, there was much more negotiation and working across the lines. To be fair, that was mostly because you can't get Democrats to even agree that they lost the last election, what a "good" liberal is, or even what color the sky is. I'm a liberal, but damn, we can't organize for shiat.

Republicans however, have not been nearly as interested in negotiation because of their regimented party line voting. It's the moderate Republicans in Congress that REALLY have all of the power in Washington at the moment, as Jim Jeffords pointed out, but they are more interested in voting the party line than deciding for themselves what is best for their particular constituents, for reasons that are beyond me.

/I am a proud supporter of tarrant84's Living Dead voting rights movement.
//A brain in every pot in 08!

"The dead have risen and are voting republican!"

Well, article doesn't exactly state who voted for who, but judging by the tone, the dead were voting democrating. Maybe libertarian?

Anyway, in a country were power is given by the people through votes, wouldn't electoral fraud, be treated as treason and as such be penalized in the highest order? With intent proven of course... but it shouldn't be tolerated. At all.

TheClitoris: That's great news... 'cause the zombie demographic was underepresented in 2000.

This is true - Kerry lost because he didn't get the strong undead showing that they expected. Those people are his base!

That's the dumbest part. If the elections there are cinched up anyway, why resort to any kind of fraud?

PSA: The article nowhere mentions for whom the dead voted.

Eh, it is always the minority who is accused of cheating the system.

VideoVader: That's the dumbest part. If the elections there are cinched up anyway, why resort to any kind of fraud?

You don't want to fall out of practice in case the political climate shifts?

Yep. Oddly NJ and NY seem to love moderate Republicans at the local level, mainly because they're fiscally conservative unlike the group of bandits running the country now. Heck, Christy Whitman was an outsider to the Republican Party when she was put in charge of the EPA.

You gotta wonder what would happen if the GOP got gutted after Bush's term was up and some good Northeastern fiscally conservative Rep's got in there.

Too bad if they even did try to nominate Pataki or Guliani, they'd mold them into good little neocons, but I don't think either of those two would stoop that low.

"If an investigation is needed, it should be done the right way, not the Republican way."
Classic! and so true.

My money is on those #'s being off. But a mixed party commision should look into it.

What goes around, comes around. The only time things get done is when one party is firmly in command by a large margin.

Funny, up here in Canada we have a minority government right now with 4 parties sharing most of the seats and more has gotten done since the election than in the previous 8 years.

"If the Republican Party conducted the investigation, it's safe to assume that the facts and figures are wrong and the findings are suspect," Democratic spokesman Richard McGrath said. "If an investigation is needed, it should be done the right way, not the Republican way."


Ahh, the Democratic Party, the party of open mindedness and inclusion. So much for bipartisanship, eh?
