You Will Anyway: Voter fraud

Voter fraud

Nineteen foreign-born individuals have been charged with illegally voting in the 2016 election, the Justice Department announced on Friday, adding that the cases are part of an ongoing voter fraud investigation.

Robert J. Higdon, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, announced the indictments, and stated that the cases are being investigated as part of a new initiative in the Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force.

The push comes as President Donald Trump has pledged to root out voter fraud, after claiming without evidence that millions voted illegally in the 2016 election.

There's 19 out of the millions Trump says voted illegally. Good start.

Wouldn't it be funny if those 19 voted for Trump? I think there's a very good chance they did.

According to DOJ, nine individuals were charged with a false claim of United States citizenship in order to register to vote and cast a ballot.

Jose Cruz Solano-Rodriguez of Mexico, Guadalupe Espinosa-Pena of Mexico, Sarah Emilia Silverio-Polanco of the Dominican Republic, Elizabeth Nene Amachaghi of Nigeria, Maria Rufina Castillo-Boswell of the Philippines, Dora Maybe Damatta-Rodriguez of Panama, Elvis David Fullerton of Grenada, Olive Agatha Martin of Guyana and Kaoru Sauls of Japan were all charged with the crime and can face a maximum penalty of six years in prison, a $350,000 fine and a term of supervised release following any term of imprisonment.

Eight separate individuals were charged with “voting by an alien” were filed against the following foreign nationals: Jose Jaime Ramiro-Torres of El Salvador, Juan Francisco Landeros-Mireles of Mexico, Alessandro Cannizzaro of Italy, Dieudonne Soifils of Haiti, Hyo Suk George of Korea, Merius Jean of Haiti, Rosemarie Angelika Harris of Germany and Daniel Tadeusz Romanowski of Poland could face a maximum of 12 months in prison, a $100,000 fine and a term of supervised release following any imprisonment.

In addition, Diana Patricia Franco-Rodriguez of Mexico was charged with fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents, in addition to voting by a nonresident. She could face a maximum of 26 years in prison, a $350,000 fine and a term of supervised release.

Only one person so far has pleaded guilty in the cases.

Earlier this month, Ramon Estaban Paez-Jerez pleaded guilty to “a two-count Criminal Information charging him with passport fraud and voting by an alien.”

UPDATE:

An investigation into voter fraud - by Republicans - is turning up dead voters in Virginia.

"We should always remember that the danger to societies from security services is not that they will spontaneously decide to embrace [Stasi style] mustache twirling and jackboots to bear us bodily into dark places, but that the slowly shifting foundation of policy will make it such that mustaches and jackboots are discovered to prove an operational advantage toward a necessary purpose.” ~ Edward Snowden

"What matters in journalism isn't politics, which are as universal and inescapable as breathing. What matters -- along with a fundamentally adversarial attitude toward government, without which "journalism" is simply public relations -- is integrity, transparency, evidence, coherence, and principle. These are the principles on which we should evaluate the quality of journalism, and their absence is why some journalists are so desperate to get you to focus on something else." ~ Barry Eisler

Life, as Explained in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"

GUILDENSTERN: What a fine persecution---to be kept intrigued without ever quite being enlightened.

------
ROSENCRANTZ : The only thing that makes it bearable is the irrational belief that somebody interesting will come on in a minute.

------
GUILDENSTERN: But for God's sake what are we supposed to do?!

PLAYER: Relax. Respond. That's what people do. You can't go through life questioning your situation at every turn.

GUILDENSTERN: But we don't know what's going on, or what to do with ourselves. We don't know how to act.

PLAYER: Act natural. You know why you're here at least.

GUILDENSTERN: We only know what we're told, and that's little enough. And for all we know it isn't even true.

PLAYER: For all anyone knows, nothing is. Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions.

------
GUILDENSTERN : We act on scraps of information... sifting half-remembered directions that we can hardly separate from instinct.

PLAYER: Life is a gamble, at terrible odds-if it was a bet you wouldn't take it.
