Voter Fraud?

Rush talked today about voter fraud, and you know, this is one reason why I dislike the electronic ballot. With a paper ballot, you've got proof of the way someone voted. With an electronic ballot - there is no proof. Any hacker can go in and write code to swich votes around.

And really, voter fraud is a disgrace to America. We are this great country, and yet half of our citizens don't vote, have never voted, and whine when things don't go their way.

Anyway, here's part of what Rush had to say:
RUSH: Vote fraud. How does it happen? Yesterday afternoon Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, on her MSNBC show talking to the Democrat Party chairman of Philadelphia, Bob Brady, said, "What is the secret here to turnout? I mean in the old days, in the old machine days, it used to be what we call walking-around money, handing out money to people to get people to the voting place. Is that still the case? What do you do, what's the magic of the Democrat machine in Philadelphia?"

BRADY: We still have the street money, and we're very knowledgeable. And we pay attention, and Democrats surge, we surge toward the end. That's why our polls have been surging upward and once a surge goes upward it doesn't go backwards.

RUSH: Okay, so that's the guy running the show in Philadelphia. Andrea Mitchell realizes here she's just stepped in it, "basically you're buying votes, right, walking-around money." "Oh, yeah, we still have that." She said, "You used to have walking around money." "Oh, no, we still got walking-around money." So Andrea Mitchell, "Well, I gotta fix this," and so here's how she did it.

MITCHELL: One quick question. We talked about street money, walking-around money, whatever you want to call it. What actually does that buy?

BRADY: What the street money does is give our committee people, gives them resources to put people to work on the polls. They go out, they knock on doors, they get their street list, they check who did vote, who didn't vote. It's extremely effective, as it's always been. And it will be extremely effective come Tuesday.

MITCHELL: So just to clarify, you're not buying votes. You're paying people to go out and knock on doors and get people to the polls?

BRADY: We're paying people to work on Election Day, as we always do.

RUSH: Yeah. (laughing) So putting people to work at the polls. Putting people to work means buying cigarettes and buying gift cards, is that what this means? Here's 50 bucks, go to work at the polls. Here's 50 bucks, go knock on doors. Yeah, right. It's all stimulus money from Obama's stash anyway, I mean that's where the walking-around money is coming from, make no doubt.
