This piece shows that voter fraud is NOT just by those casting the votes – the moles have infested the inner workings.  Instapundit has two good pull quotes:

Here in North Carolina, Civitas helped expose a strange situation in which a State Board of Elections employee, Dr. E. Lee Cooley, was teaching the public and political operatives how to commit voter fraud . It may be an understatement to say that we were alarmed to learn that at least one person in the State Board of Elections, the department that oversees all elections in North Carolina, was telling people that it was okay to commit voter fraud and actually instructing them how to do so by voting other people’s ballots.

Later on in the post, we find out that “…Cooley had been telling political activists and the public how to violate state law and vote absentee ballots for relatives and the homeless.” You know, one of the hardest kinds of voter fraud to detect and this from someone that is supposed to PROTECT the sanctity of the voting process?  And the Left here in NH is still denigrating James O’Keefe’s videos of what happend here in NH as “move along, nothing to see?  And

The Democrats and D friendly judges keep rendering the Legislature’s attempts to tighten up our own NH State’s voting laws so as to make sure only those that are entitled to vote here in NH actually cast votes and it all centers around the word “domocile”.  Not going to recap all that’s been written here except to say when I read what is going on in Minnesota, I immediate thought of it.  Same thing, differently – except there it is about letting felons vote (emphasis mine, reformatted):

Minnesota Secretary of State and county election managers are being sued by election judges who claim the 2016 Minnesota Election Judge Guide requires them to violate state election laws. The lawsuits were filed today in Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis Counties by three election judges who are requesting an injunction relieving them from having to provide ballots to people who are listed as felons, people under guardianship and noncitizens.
***
State law establishes a detailed procedure to match felons, people under guardianship and noncitizens against the list of people who have registered to vote in the statewide voter registration system. In the case of a match, county auditors are required to change the voter status of any registered voters who are determined to be felons, under guardianship or noncitizens.

But according to instructions from the Secretary of State, election officials must allow felons, people under guardianship and noncitizens who are identified as such on the poll roster to vote anyway, so long as they take an oath claiming they are eligible to vote.

So the MN SoS issued this lawless guide? Remember the SOS Project

OPEC is desperate to see oil prices go up and so is Russia (both the latter and the Sauds are on a real downward trend on their financial reserves) so I’m not surprised about this.  However, there’s one phrase in this that makes no sense at all (emphasis mine, reformatted) and includes the US fracking industry:

Saudis, Gulf OPEC Members Offer To Cut 4% Of Oil Output

Just when a potential OPEC deal was looking more like wishful thinking than a reality, sources told Reuters on Thursday that Saudi Arabia and its Gulf OPEC producer allies had signaled that they would be ready to cut their near record crude oil production by 4 percent. According to the Reuters sources, the energy ministers from the Gulf countries told Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak last Sunday in Riyadh that they would be willing to cut. Novak, on the other hand, told the Gulf ministers that Russia would not cut, but rather freeze its crude oil output at its current level.

The Saudis and their Gulf OPEC allies are expected to table the offer to cut 4 percent of output until a meeting on October 28 and 29, when OPEC and non-OPEC producers, including Russia, will discuss details of the deal-to-make-a-deal they had reached in Algiers last month.

New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan is returning questionable campaign contributions (again) after an investigation by the Boston Globe. A Boston Law firm gave “bonuses” to employees after they donated to political campaigns.

The investigation by the Globe Spotlight team and the Center for Responsive Politics found that three partners of Thornton Law Firm and one of the partner’s wives donated nearly $1.6 million to Democratic Party fund-raising committees and politicians from 2010 to 2014.

During the same period, the partners received $1.4 million in “bonuses,” according to the report, published online Saturday and in Sunday’s newspaper. More than 280 contributions matched bonuses that were paid within 10 days.

It’s ok to admit that happens on your side as well (like the son of the NH State Senate Majority Leader).  To show that “we hate’em all” (in a bipartisan type of love – heh!) comes this news:

Donald Trump supporter in Iowa arrested for voter fraud as Trump continues to call election ‘rigged’ against him

And the first arrest for attempted voter fraud in the 2016 election goes to a Donald Trump supporter in Iowa. Terri Rote, 55, was arrested on first-degree election misconduct charges after trying to vote for the GOP nominee at two separate polling stations in Des Moines Thursday, according to the Des-Moines Register.

Actually, I think that the first instance is really just another in a rolling series of incidents but I bet it wasn’t in Iowa even as the extremely partisan NY Daily News really wants it to be a GOP/Trump one.

I admit to crowdsourcing this, and I apologize, but I just don’t have the time. I do however have time to hint at connections that could turn out to be true.

Maggie Hassan went to Turkey.

Maggie Hassan is a long time Clinton shill and apologist.

Hillary has recently been linked to illegal campaign dollars from Turkey that may have also been directed to support other Democrat candidates.

Our Progressive Ruling Class: “Investments – we can do ANYTHING with your money! Yeah, I know – including lying about what “investment” means – yet another instance of redefining the common language to further an ideological agenda which in this case is a crass attempt to make you think that government NEVER “spends” your money but “invests”.  And then uses crazy means to artificially create an “ROI” that I just shake my head at. Interesting fact that I didn’t know over at Anti-Planner(reformatted, emphasis mine):

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal deficit in 2016 was $590 billion. But the federal debt in 2016 grew by $1.4 trillion. That means the debt grew by about $800 billion more than the deficit. How can that be? The answer is that Congress uses all kinds of accounting tricks to pretend that money it borrows isn’t part of the deficit. You can read a complete list of those accounting tricks in an article by Dr. Lacy Hunt (you’ll have to get a free subscription to John Mauldin’s newsletter to read the article, which is well worth doing if you are at all interested in macroeconomic issues).

From the Antiplanner’s point of view, the most important accounting trick is that some spending from borrowed money is regarded as “an investment,” and so isn’t counted in the deficit. This includes student loans and highway and transit spending. In 2016, Congress borrowed $70 billion to pay for highways and transit, yet that isn’t included in the $590 billion deficit.

Who knew!
