Election Teeters on Edge of Illegitimacy

Constitutional democracies such as ours rely on free and honest elections that can be trusted as accurate representations of the wishes of the voters. When elections are overwhelmed by fraud, corruption, and manipulation, the entire system of government is thrown into complete chaos.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this election teeters on the edge of illegitimacy due to massive fraud, and thus, the very fabric of our constitutional democracy is at stake.

Without clean, honest elections, democracy cannot survive.

At the center of the corruption that engulfs this election is ACORN, the self-described 'voter registration organization for the underprivileged' that is actually a campaign arm of the Barack Obama machine.

Everywhere ACORN has been active in this election cycle, a putrid stench of rottenness has been left in its wake.

The dead have cast absentee ballots. Loopholes in election laws in states such as Ohio have been used to register single voters multiples of times in different counties that have no way of checking whether or not the person voted in another county. Thousands of registration forms submitted by ACORN have been shown to be fraudulent at worst and problematic at best due to information that does not match the records.

In Ohio at least, the Secretary of State plans on counting these registrations and votes anyway.

And this, of course, is not all. Convicted felons who cannot vote legally have been registered by ACORN. Homeless persons with no verifiable address have been registered, and a judge in Ohio ruled that these persons could use their 'park bench' as a valid address.

Illegal aliens have illegally registered to vote when they register for a driver's license in California, and once they possess a valid driver's license in that state there is no way to prevent their illegal vote from counting.

Going back to Ohio, which seems to be ground zero for ACORN's shenanigans, citizens have reported to state officials that ACORN representatives were caught registering Alzheimer's patients in nursing homes.

The thing that is so disturbing about this particular case is not only that ACORN was engaging in voter fraud but was being assisted by two Highland County Board of Elections employees.

If we cannot even trust the integrity of elections officials, how can any election in this country be deemed legitimate?

And this is the heart of the problem. Not only are groups such as ACORN working to perpetrate the most extensive voter fraud operation in American history, but certain citizens are helping them do it. And some of these citizens are in positions of power in government and in local election board headquarters.

It is as if there is a certain segment of American society that has determined that come what may, no matter what most Americans want, Barack Obama is going to be the next President, period, and they will lie, cheat, steal, and do just about anything to make sure it happens.

Legitimate elections that can be trusted by the citizens do not have the characteristics of this election. From what we have seen thus far, if Barack Obama wins on Tuesday it will be the result of the single most massive fraudulent operation in the history of the Republic.

The question is, what will the honest citizens do about it?
