How Unions or Their Allies Could be Stealing November’s Election Right Now

How Unions or Their Allies Could be Stealing November’s Election Right Now

Here is a prediction: Across the country, there will be races that some candidates will lose even though poll numbers, right now, indicate otherwise.

As you read this, at present, you should know that there are only seemingly disconnected anecdotal dots that are starting to connect. However, if the dots do fully connect, we may not know until well after the November 2nd election if, in fact, America’s democratic election process will have become the victim of the biggest fraud in our nation’s history. What’s worse, with early voting beginning this week in many states, it may already be too late to do anything about it.

In order to break this down, here are the disconnected dots that are detailed below:

First Dot: The SOS Project Second Dot: The SEIU’s Shenanigans Third Dot: 11 Million Illegal Immigrants Fourth Dot: The Fake ID Industry & Meg Whitman Fifth Dot: Voter Registration Sixth Dot: Union GOTV Strategies Seventh Dot: Early Voting Connecting the Dots

In 2005, shortly after George Bush won re-election, angry billionaire George Soros, along with the SEIU and others, founded the Secretary of State Project (or SOS) ”to provide an easy-to-use, low-cost vehicle for online donations to reform-minded Secretary of State candidates and incumbents in key battleground states.”

As Conservative Outlooks writer Carol Greenberg points out:

The Secretary of State is the chief elections official in each state, so he/she is responsible for the conduct of elections and establishment of election day rules. A position and role mostly unknown by the majority of citizens in this country before the 2000 election.

Someone of great wealth recognized the power of the Secretaries of State. The power to ultimately decide, perhaps by manipulating and interpreting state election law partisanly, to place their chosen candidate into office.

In the last five years of its existence, the SOS Project has been successful in getting nine out of 11 “progressive” secretaries of state elected. This includes Minnesota’s Mark Ritchie who oversaw the 2008-09 ballot recount* between Democrat Al Franken and Republican Norm Coleman. [Here are the races Soros' SOS Project is active in for November.]

* In July 2010, an 18-month study by Minnesota Majority determined that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally.  Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes. Claims that Franken, Soros and Ritchie stole the election have been ignored.

Second Dot: The SEIU’s Shenanigans

Over the past few months, as Democrats and their union bosses have seen their mid-term election prospects dim significantly, there have been separate incidents involving what appears to be a manipulation of the electoral system occurring all over the country that all have one common denominator—they involve persons connected to the SEIU.

In Milwaukee, a SEIU lobbyist was recently caught on tape allegedly stating that the union and Democrat officials were planning an attack on the Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker and that the local media would be “willing partners.” In Washington state, an employee of the SEIU was arrested for submitting allegedly forged signatures for the SEIU’s “tax the rich” ballot initiative (I-1098). In Houston, an investigation revealed that 23,207 of the 25,000 voter registrations submitted by a voter registration group headed by a SEIU employee were invalid.  Three days after Harris County Registrar issued a press release stating that the integrity of Harris County, TX voter rolls appeared to be under an “organized and systematic attack” a mysterious fire broke out in the building where Harris County’s voting machines were held, destroying nearly all of them. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Third Dot: Nearly 11 Million Illegal Immigrants.

According the most recent data published by the Department of Homeland Security (assuming it can be believed), there were an estimated 10.8 million illegal immigrants in the United States, as of 2009.

It is widely known that Big Labor bosses (most notably the SEIU, but most others as well) are fighting to get “immigration reform” legislation passed so that 1) they can unionize many of these workers and 2) they can turn them into “progressive voters.”

Fourth Dot: The Fake ID Industry & Meg Whitman

In the past few years, there have been some high profile ICE raids on companies that have allegedly hired illegal immigrants. In the vast majority of these cases, although the workers were in the country illegally, they were hired by companies who were following the Catch-22 system that is the law.  Here’s how:

Legal Requirements. According to the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services [emphasis added]:

All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual and record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. [Download the form (in PDF) here.]

[On page five of the I-9 form are the types of ID that are acceptable for employment.  The most common forms used are social security cards and driver's licenses.]

The Fake ID Industry. Both inside and outside the U.S. are underground businesses that supply false identifications to people, mostly illegal immigrants.  In fact, a quick search of the internet reveals a number of websites (several outside the U.S.) where people can order fake IDs.  There is even one website that provides a review of other fake ID websites.  With enough money, anyone can have more fake IDs than Jason Bourne.  With fake ID in hand, any illegal immigrant is automatically employable in the United States, as California’s gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has discovered.

Catch-22 & the Fake Whitman Controversy. Over the past week, the ginned-up controversy surrounding California’s Meg Whitman’s hiring of an illegal made immigrant has been used as campaign fodder by Democrats and unions (including a $5 million SEIU ad buy on Spanish TV) attempting to tarnish Whitman. However, one extremely important point that is getting brushed aside is the fact that Whitman’s $23 per hour housekeeper had used her fake ID to acquire her job. Further, as noted (at 1:20) in Fox’s Meghan Kelly’s interview of Gloria Alred (the housekeeper’s attorney), Whitman herself could have been charged with discriminating  against Diaz if she questioned the validity of Diaz’s fake documents.

According to the same San Francisco article Meghan Kelly quoted from [emphasis added]:

“There is no additional legal obligation for an employer to follow up or respond to SSA with new information,” said Gening Liao, a labor and employment attorney at the National Immigration Law Center in Los Angeles, which defends immigrants.

Liao added that it is “very important that the employer does not take adverse action against the employee” merely based on a letter from Social Security.

Nor was Diaz under any obligation to pursue the matter, Liao said. Correcting a mismatch is “primarily for the benefit of the employee,” she said, to make sure they can collect all the benefits due them for their work.

The attorney for Diaz Santillan has not said whether the Whitmans’ former housekeeper received a mismatch notice. Social Security’s notice to employees says the letter “does not, in and of itself, allow your employer to change your job, lay you off, fire you or take other action against you.”

Had Whitman questioned Diaz’s legal status after Diaz presented documents when she was hired, Whitman again would have exposed herself to discrimination violations.

“Not only is (accepting the documents) all the law required her to do, but there’s a counterbalancing anti-discrimination law that keeps her from probing further or demanding different documents,” said Crystal Williams, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington.
