Democrats Admit Voter Fraud Exists

Today the Democrat party in the state of Maryland reported that its candidate for US Representative in the 1st Congressional District would be withdrawing from the race against freshman Congressman Andy Harris. The reason given is that Wendy Rosen was registered to vote in the state of Maryland AND the state of Florida. Not only was she registered in both states, she voted in both states in the same election.

The Democrats reported it because they are concerned, or so they say, with voter laws and the sanctity of the vote. I think they probably discovered this, figured if they did the Republicans had and would wait until after anyone else could be selected to replace her and then release it. Since the Democrats released the information and Rosen has withdrawn she can now be replaced.

Lost in all this is the admission by Democrats that voter fraud takes place. Let’s face it, there is no way this was a mistake. This woman had to know what she was doing. If by some remote chance she was unable to recall voting in one state while voting in another than she was not capable of holding office anyway.

No, the only explanation is that she intended to commit fraud (and the Democrats turned the evidence over to the appropriate authorities though in Maryland she will likely get an award) and voted in both states on purpose. By exposing this crime the Democrats have admitted to all of us that voter fraud takes place and in this case involved one of their candidates (I wonder how many more they have doing this).

We need a way for states to check to see if anyone is registered in another state and we need laws requiring an ID. While Democrats fight every state that enacts laws designed to make fraud tougher one of their own is caught red handed, though long after the fact.

They need to make an example of this woman to send a message to others.

And we need tougher laws to ensure this does not happen.

E J Pipkin Deceives in Campaign Mailer

Maryland Senator E. J. Pipkin is running for the 1st Congressional Seat in Maryland. Pipkin has been a state Senator for a while and he has run for the US Senate several times once and I voted for him. He decided to jump into the race against Congressman Wayne Gilchrest relatively late in the game after seeing that Gilchrest was vulnerable and getting a fight from State Senator Andy Harris. Competition is good so it was good to see choices for a change. Gilchrest is liberal, Pipkin is more Conservative and Harris is the most Conservative. I put my support behind Harris long before Pipkin got in but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I can now say that E J Pipkin will NOT get my support and he will not get my vote. If he or Gilchrest win the primary then I will vote for the Democrat in the general election.

Pipkin has been sending out mailers. I received them, looked and recycled. He has been running commercials that accuse Andy Harris of voting to give Illegals in state tuition. His latest mailer states that it is time for change and in it he takes the Maryland Governor, Gilchrest and Harris to task as soft on Illegals while Pipkin will be the knight in shining armor to save us. Pipkin’s mailer states that Harris voted yes for HB 253 on 3 April 2003 which reportedly gave illegals in state tuition. Yes, Andy Harris voted for that bill. The web site indicates he voted for the bill with amendments. Those amendments give the tuition rights to members of the military and added language to exclude illegal aliens. The amendments excluding illegals were not adopted and the FINAL reading of the bill, HB 253 was on 5 April 2003. Andy Harris voted NO on that bill, the same vote that Pipkin registered.

This is important because it shows that Pipkin is deliberately misleading people and making them believe that his opponent voted in a fashion that he did not. In Maryland a bill must get three readings and it is not final until then. On the third reading of this bill Harris voted no. If the bill had the language excluding illegals then Harris probably would have voted for it because it contained language to provide a benefit for our troops (probably a ploy to get it passed). In any event, this is not a “Real Change” as Pipkin states we need. Politicians lie and distort their opponents records all the time. Politicians claim more than credit than they actually deserve and politicians grand stand all the time. Pipkin did all three of these so how is this Real Change?

Pipkin’s website states that he sponsored a two pronged approach to take on illegal immigration during the special session. That special session was called to address a budget problem and the bill Pipkin introduced had no action taken on it. The same is true of his bill to establish how much illegal immigration costs. Both bills are touted as some great thing but there was no follow up and they were not acted upon.

There is one thing that is undeniable. Pipkin voted for Governor O’Malley’s inflated budget in 2007 and Harris voted against it. E J Pipkin voted with the Democrats for an overinflated budget all the while calling himself a Conservative. Andy Harris voted against that budget, you figure out who deserves the vote.

Pipkin talks about supporting the troops and being Conservative but Andy Harris is one of the troops. He is a physician and serves in the Naval Reserve and served During Desert Storm. Harris understands what it means to fight the war on terror and he understands what it means to be Conservative.

Pipkin and Gilchrest do not match up…

If you live in Maryland’s First and you want real change, not Pipkin’s definition of change, then vote for Andy Harris.
