The Jefferson County Auditor has referred to the county prosecutor a case of suspected double voting in this month's special election. These documents tell the story.
Rebekah McGuire's ballot was set aside for signature mismatch. The challenged voter stated that she was out of the country and did not vote the ballot. The signature on her ballot envelope bears an interesting resemblance to the signature of her husband, Todd McGuire. One of Rebekah's statements to the Auditor said that Todd was with her on the trip, the other statement omitted the bit about her husband.
Todd and Rebekah McGuire are active Democrat donors. Todd was the campaign treasurer for a Democrat County Commissioner. Rebekah is on the Executive Board of the Jefferson County Democrats. I find it hard to believe that such upstanding citizens would vote illegally.

As long as they can get away with it, we should all recognize that there are few limits to what the Demorats are capable of, and the only thing they really care anything about is gaining and retaining their power over others.

I think the stuff you discovered and are still discovering is just the tip of the iceberg (that is slowly melting away by your efforts?).

When Do The Monkeys Get To Vote? (Spain's socialist party wants to give monkeys human rights)
The Spain Herald ^ | Wednesday, April 26, 2006 | Ignacio Villa
After learning of the Socialist Party's interest in passing a parliamentary initiative that would equate men with monkeys, the obvious question is: are monkeys going to be allowed to vote in the next general elections? Knowing the socialists, all this interest in caring for simian has to have electoral echo among chimpanzees. It sounds like a joke, but sadly it is not. We have an administration that reduces individual freedom, disdains life and attacks the family. But wait... it has time enough to ensure primates get their due in Parliament.
Among other things, this initiative hopes to include simians in the category of "people" and, thereby, grant them legal and moral protection. It wants to defend their interests just as it does with under-age children and handicapped people. Moreover, the initiative asks for recognition of monkeys' right to life, to freedom, to not being tortured or enslaved.
Where does this government want to take the nation? We already know it wants to change the Spanish model of society in every way possible. But this is just part of its mockery, provocation and insult -all leading it to utter ridiculousness. We all know Zapatero's sectarianism and that of his party and administration, but we couldn't imagine they would reach such an embarrassing extreme. Apparently, primates are now the parliamentary priority. Perhaps this is in honor of "Snowflake's" replacement learning Catalan.
We can imagine the Spanish simian community is thrilled to have a Prime Minister like Zapatero. Any day now we will have gorillas marching down the Castellana protesting for the right to vote in elections. Little by little. We can only hope Zapatero, obsessed with granting whatever anyone asks as long as it is not a concession to the Popular Party, doesn't give them the vote. Well, we've seen worse!
You could bank there!
That is if you had any money left to bank after they get through pick pocketing you!

Spain May Grant Human Rights to Apes
From the desk of Jos Verhulst on Thu, 2006-04-27 19:32
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo (25 April) reports that Spain's governing Socialists are submitting a bill to grant human rights to four species of animals. The species are chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans: the so-called 'great apes' or 'pongids' (grandes simios in Spanish).
The purpose of the bill is to ensure that Spain adheres to the international Great Ape Project, granting the animals the right to life, freedom and not being tortured. The GAP motto is: "Equality beyond humanity". Its declaration says: "We demand the extension of the community of equals to include all great apes: human beings, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans."
Great apes share 99 per cent of their genetic material with humans. Champions of their rights say they have an emotional and cultural life, intelligence and moral qualities reminiscent of those of humans. Francisco Garrido, a Green representative who belongs to the Socialist group in parliament, submitted the bill on 25 April. Garrido claims the Spanish Socialists are acting as ambassadors, as defenders and as the voice of the great apes. He hopes that Spain will become the first European country to grant them fundamental human rights.
The Spanish Socialists have been criticized for their initiative, which is the outcome of a purely materialistic view of human nature. Pamplona archbishop Fernando Sebastian called the proposal "ridiculous." Amnesty International representative Delia Padron said she was "surprised" by moves to recognize the "human rights" of apes when many humans still lacked those rights.
Following the criticism Cristina Narbona, the Spanish minister for the Environment, denied that the great apes "will be granted human rights." According to the minister the bill only aims to protect the natural habitat of the animals and avoid their ill-treatment and use in various circus activities. In the argumentation of the bill, however, one can find references to "the evolutionary and genetic similarities between humans and great apes." Surely these are irrelevant if the bill only deals with habitat and animal protection.
What is more, these references make the philosophical foundation for the proposed bill somewhat shaky. Two problems arise: (a) the exclusion of, for instance, dolphins or jackdaws merely because they are biologically less related to humans seems to smack of "speciesism', and (b) how does one determine the degree of relatedness to humans that is necessary for an animal to acquire human rights, i.e. why are these rights granted to great apes but not to lesser apes?
The Socialist Party does not grant the so-called 'lesser apes' (gibbons [Hylobates] and siamangs [Hylobates sundactylus]) the same rights, but even the more advanced 'new world anthropoids' [Platyrrhines] are excluded. The latter, however, include the 'capucine monkey.' Observations confirm that this species uses tools, something which one would expect to appeal to a workers' party. Perhaps that omission will be rectified after the initial breakthrough of granting human rights to the great apes has been achieved.
I propose that one way to get lefties engaged in the war on fraudulent voting would be to organize a fraud-in among conservatives. For one election, send in as many bogus registrations and double and fraudulent votes for republican candidates as possible. Make it blatant and flagrant. Sure, it would turn that one election into a huge circus, but the only way the lefties will ever be convinced that fraudulent voting is bad is if they loose big time because of it. Seems as if when they win because of it, they figure it's OK, so why change it.
Posted by: starboardhelm on February 23, 2007 04:20 PMAnd that points to a big difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives want voter fraud stopped now, no matter who is winning or losing because voting is the back bone of our Republic. Liberals could care less . . . unless they are losing of course because voting illegally is an advantage to be pressed. Ends justify the means. ACORN anyone?
roll the Famous Fingerwaving Speech: (& look into TV) "...I-did-not-have-alleged-voting-fraud-with-that-woman!..."
nitpicky conservatives. trying to apply the law equally & fairly.

"Her vote was important to her," Holmgren said. "She was very strongly against Governor-elect Gregoire."
uh huh!

He was also appointed by Democrats to the Jefferson County Planning Commission and has been an outspoken anti-growther. He has also been a holier than thou type insisting that everything be done by the book....and that anyone who dares misstep be punished.

Donna Eldridge (R), the JeffCo County Auditor , is highly respected and will do her part to insure clean elections.
