Vote fraud, an almost exclusively Democrat phenomenon, has long been rampant in this country and is likely to get worse in 2010 and 2012. I was four years old when John Kennedy stole the presidential election of 1960, 44 when Al Gore attempted to repeat the coup with an interpretation of chads in 2000. From Landrieu<\/a><\/strong> to Franken, the pattern continues.<\/p>\n

I’ve reported on vote fraud over the years, but I also have personal knowledge of it, because my father — one of the most honest men that ever lived — engaged in it.\u00a0 You see, my older brother, Chris<\/a><\/strong>, has Down’s Syndrome and my father took perverse pride in taking him to the polls. I’m convinced that my dad did this with the best of intentions, as a way of helping my brother feel a little more “normal,” but the net effect, obviously, was to give my father two votes.<\/p>\n

I know an elderly couple here in St. Louis who take their adult retarded son to the polls, thereby garnering themselves a third vote, and I’m sure there are plenty of other parents across the country who do the same thing.<\/p>\n

This, in itself, is outrageous, but imagine how many times a caretaker’s vote is multiplied in the case of mentally retarded adults who are institutionalized, as is my brother. Since my dad died in 1990, someone else has been manipulating his vote. Given the demographics of the caretaker population, I think it’s safe to say that the retarded vote is solidly Democratic.<\/p>\n

I recently discovered, to my shock, that a left-leaning elder sister had prevailed upon my retarded brother and his politically innocent housemates to support her candidate in 2008. Given that her choice coincided with that of the caretakers, it’s safe to assume that she, and they, succeeded in multiplying their own ballots.<\/p>\n

One could argue, of course, that the entire Democrat constituency falls into the category of mental defectives, but surely there ought to be some minimal standard<\/a><\/strong> for voting other than age and citizenship. And no one should be allowed to coerce, cajole, or otherwise control the vote of another American.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
