And The Colossal Chutzpah Award Goes To Karl Rove
During the past seven years of the Bush Administration, Republican officials have continuously claimed that there has been massive voter fraud; they have pushed for voter id laws that will suppress turnout among elderly, minority, and immigrant voters, who-- entirely coincidentally-- are likely to vote Democratic. These arguments were made repeatedly in the face of all evidence to the contrary; indeed, when a bi-partisan federal panel concluded that the claims of widespread voter fraud were largely baseless, Bush Administration officials appear to have put pressure to modify the report's findings to make them more ambiguous. Today, in a follow-up story, the New York Times reports that the Bush Justice Department's strenuous efforts to discover and prosecute voter fraud have come up largely empty, finding only sporadic and isolated examples, often by people who lacked information about how to register to vote properly.
"During the past seven years of the Bush Administration, Republican officials have continuously claimed that there has been massive voter fraud...
Really? Maybe I missed these statements. The NYT article to which you link has none. Do you have any examples of the Bush Administration claiming "massive voter fraud?"
Sounds like a straw man to me.
The NYT spin is that the thousands of illegal votes which its reporter admits were cast in recent elections are simply "mistakes and lapses" because the reporter cannot find examples outright voter fraud.
Hell, I googled for just 10 minutes and found multiple examples of media reports of probable voter fraud in Tennessee, Wisconsin, and several other battleground states as well as federal indictments across the country and convictions and state convictions including those in my home state of Colorado.
If the crack reporters at the NYT wanted to find dozens of additional media reports of voter fraud, all they needed to do was run a quick search on Nexis. Of course, that assumes that the DNC party paper wanted to find examples of Dem voter fraud.
The great irony of all this is that there was a systematic and successful attempt at electoral fraud, this one an effort to keep eligible voters from casting ballots. It was staged by the Republican Party in Florida in 2000 in violation of the federal Voting Rights Act.
I see the NYT has no trouble at all falsely alleging voter fraud when it suits their needs, but even the NYT article to which your passage linked did not allege that this "voter fraud" was perpetrated by the GOP as you claim in your link.
This linked AP story printed in the NYT concerned a complaint and settlement concerning 2000 voting procedures implemented in the Democrat majority Florida county of Leon by Democrat Supervisor of Elections, Ian Sancho, who led Gary Hart's campaign in Leon County back in 1984. (I went to law school and practiced there for a few years and know Leon County well).
There was no allegation in the text of the article that the Democrat elected (not GOP) electoral officials in Leon County committed any voter fraud, which is the introduction of illegal votes. As with many NYT articles, the title is an outright lie.
Professor, I am sure you would appreciate the opportunity to correct your post and acknowledge that you made an error in alleging GOP voter fraud in Florida in 2000. If not, you may want to present some actual evidence of a GOP conspiracy to count illegal votes in the 2000 Florida election.
Bart, the claims were not that Florida election officials counted illegal votes in Florida, but that they used purges of voter rolls and other tactics to impede voting by minorities who had every right to vote. These techniques were the point of the Voting Rights Act lawsuits against Florida officials which were ultimately settled out of court; they were also documented in the U.S. Civil Rights Commission report that followed the 2000 election.
Stop whining, DePalma. It's unseemly and we all grow tired of it.
Your under-age beer kegger party is over. It was raided by the cops and the grown-ups are back in town.

New Report Examines "The Politics of Voter Fraud"
Washington, DC - Widespread "voter fraud" is a myth promulgated to suppress voter participation, according to a new Project Vote report released this week. "The Politics of Voter Fraud" finds that fraudulent voting, or the intentional corruption of the voting process by voters, is extremely rare. Yet, false or exaggerated claims of fraudulent voting are commonly made in close electoral contests, and later cited by proponents of laws that restrict voting. The report is authored by Lorraine Minnite, Ph.D., Barnard College, Columbia University.
"I set out to study what situations generated incidents of voter fraud and, after researching the laws and examining the existing evidence, I found that voter fraud did not occur with enough frequency or was enough of a significant factor in elections to model or study," Minnite said. "Instead, in this report, I examined circumstances in which claims of voter fraud were made and how they came to receive widespread public attention."
Analysis of federal government records concludes that only 24 people were convicted of or pleaded guilty to illegal voting between 2002 and 2005, an average of eight people a year. The available state-level evidence of fraudulent voting, culled from interviews, reviews of newspaper coverage and court proceedings paints a similar picture.
"We shouldn't base public policy on urban legends but on sound facts. It's clear from this report that fraudulent voting isn't threatening the integrity of our elections; we do know that erecting additional bureaucratic obstacles to voting discourages legitimate voters," said Project Vote Deputy Director Michael Slater.
The report includes case studies in which accusations of "voter fraud" received widespread media attention. Each one demonstrates the way in which partisan politics exploit administrative errors or minor problems to create the illusion of systemic fraud.
While there is little evidence of fraudulent voting, the case is clear that voting rules restrict voter turnout. A recent study by the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University found that laws requiring voters to show a document establishing identity reduce minority voter turnout. Researchers found that in the 2004 election, all voters, in states requiring voters to present documentation establishing their identity at the polls, were 2.7 percent less likely to vote than voters in states where no documentation was required. Latinos were 10 percent less likely to vote, Asian-Americans 8.5 percent less likely to vote and African Americans 5.7 percent less likely to vote.
A survey by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law found that 11 percent of Americans, more than 21 millions citizens, did not have a current government-issued photo ID. Low-income, minority and elderly Americans disproportionately lack current government-issued photo ID.
To help improve public understanding and make the electoral system as efficient as possible, the report recommends: better voter fraud data collection and dissemination by states' chief elections officers, maintenance of accurate voter registration databases, cooperative relationships between non-partisan civic groups engaged in voter registration and elections officials, education of the media, and the institution of automatic universal voter registration.

Why not take a vacation yourself, DePalma. Bosnia (Clinton) looks nice.
Or you could try Messopotamia (Bush, Iraq), but I don't think the trains run on time there. Just the IEDs.
Bart DePalma wrote: Really? Maybe I missed these statements. The NYT article to which you link has none. Do you have any examples of the Bush Administration claiming "massive voter fraud?"
Here is an excerpt from a speech given by Karl Rove on April 7, 2006: We have, as you know, an enormous and growing problem with elections in certain parts of America today. We are, in some parts of the country, I'm afraid to say, beginning to look like we have elections like those run in countries where they guys in charge are, you know, colonels in mirrored sunglasses.
Rove thanks Republican lawyers for their work on 'clean elections' from Raw Story. See also the NY Times Article Panel Said to Alter Finding on Voter Fraud.
Professor Balkin:
To start, I hardly credit the CRC report drafted by Carter Appointee and Clinton reappointee Mary Frances Berry, voter removed California Supreme Court justice Cruz Reynoso, Clinton campaign operative Christopher Edley, Jr, former Dem legislator Yvonne Y. Lee, Tom Dachle appointee Elsie Meeks, and Clinton appointee Victoria Wilson which claims to rule on the legality of the victory of George Bush in Florida. This is the equivalent of having Karl Rove and his team determining the legality of the Dem victory in 2006.
Even with that enormous caveat, the anecdotal evidence in that report comes from the Democrat run Leon, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Once again, I see no proof of a conspiracy by the Republican party to commit voter fraud by submitting illegal votes or voter suppression by chasing away voters. Rather, the allegations of adding illegal votes and voter suppression appear in Democrat counties of Florida.
Given this glass house of their own construction, Dems are hardly in a position to be casting voter fraud stones at my party.

Even the NYT admitted that thousands are illegally voting in elections. This represents an "enormous problem" in an era when elections are decided by razor thin margins.
What this comment does not say, though is that there is massive voter fraud. That is a completely different issue.
And now they've destroyed the evidence. I smell obstruction charges looming.
5 million e-mails
(It's a little slow. 5 million people are now trying to read about the 5 million e-mails that Karl and George vanished in violation of the law.)
Some party.
At least Bart isn't missing. I'll miss him when he won't be here to kick around anymore.
I think one part of the problem is over the use of "fraud." It seems that different people use it different ways, and it seems to take a peculiar meaning in the context of voting.
More thoughts,
The most damning thing to Professor Balkin's claim of Republican fraud is contained in the truthout article itself. Much of the relief is centered on what the "counties" in particular Leon county will do. Now, surely the state can do more to address voting problems, but many (most?) of the problems occurred at the county level. And you know what? Guess who controlled all (if not most) of those counties. Democracts.
Hmm, it must really be an evil conspiracy then, if Dems were used to commit fraud against their own political kind.

Major "doc dump" expected today.
This is better than an election campaign.

Bart, I think one part of the problem is over the use of "fraud." It seems that different people use it different ways, and it seems to take a peculiar meaning in the context of voting.
I agree. Indeed, I am surprised that Dems would use that term given that nearly all allegations of genuine voter fraud involve Dems.
I would think that the Dems might want to use the spin currently being applied to illegal immigrants. Dems ought to say that their illegal voters are simply "undocumented."
I highly recommend Hilzoy's post at Obsidian Wings.
She points out that if the point is to encourage lawful voting and discourage fraudulent voting, this inevitably involves a balancing act. Like it or not, very stringent laws to prevent voter fraud will interfere with legitimate voters. And laws to facilitate legitimate voting will let some people improperly.
Similar balancing acts occur in any number of other public policy decisions.
"Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts."
"Bart" DePalma shows us what his idea of scholarship is:
The NYT spin is that the thousands of illegal votes which its reporter admits were cast in recent elections are simply "mistakes and lapses" because the reporter cannot find examples outright voter fraud.
Hell, I googled for just 10 minutes and found multiple examples of media reports of probable voter fraud in Tennessee, Wisconsin, and several other battleground states as well as federal indictments across the country and convictions and state convictions including those in my home state of Colorado.
The two "indictments" "across the country" refer NAICT to a single incident of four workers for ACORN who were fired and prosecuted with the approval of ACORN.
The Tennessee article refered to the number (percentage) of provisional ballots accepted of those cast. No illegal ballots counted there at all (and no information on why the ones rejected were rejected). This is the system working as it should.
Wisconsin is a Republican party challenge to voters on the voter rolls that may not be legit, but not an indication they really are invalid (some or even most may have just been clerical/transcription errors) and no indication of illegal voting.
"Bart"'s "battleground states" link is to a screed by some group that has an aversion to ACORN, who the Republicans really don't like, because Republicans don't like voters.
"Bart"'s "convictions" link is to a list of the prosecutions and convictions for illegal voting (or other crimes and/or illegal immigration matters). Once again, this is an indication that the system is working, not the opposite. And the paucty of numbers holds up the N.Y. Times article.
More importantly, most of "Bart"'s links don't show "fraud", and certainly not any concerted effort at such.
From the N.Y. Times article itself:
"Most of those charged have been Democrats, voting records show. Many of those charged by the Justice Department appear to have mistakenly filled out registration forms or misunderstood eligibility rules, a review of court records and interviews with prosecutors and defense lawyers show.
In Miami, an assistant United States attorney said many cases there involved what were apparently mistakes by immigrants, not fraud.
In Wisconsin, where prosecutors have lost almost twice as many cases as they won, charges were brought against voters who filled out more than one registration form and felons seemingly unaware that they were barred from voting.
One ex-convict was so unfamiliar with the rules that he provided his prison-issued identification card, stamped "Offender," when he registered just before voting.
A handful of convictions involved people who voted twice. More than 30 were linked to small vote-buying schemes in which candidates generally in sheriff's or judge's races paid voters for their support."
It seems error and ignorance, rather than malice, were most responsible. And that may account for the large number of acquittals. And error, even if "criminal" in some states as malum prohibitum.
Regardless, the solution is what is apparent from the present situation: If someone does in fact illegally vote, prosecute them. There is no "crisis", no matter what Rove and the RNC Mighty Wurlitzer is blaring to the rubes.
I see that Hilzoy over at Obsidian Wings concurs with what I said previously in a previous post (see also elsewhere in that thread): Better ten illegal votes than one person be denied his legitimate right to vote. As I put it; the right to vote lies with the people, not with any candidate they cast their votes for.
I understand the temptation, but I strongly recommend we not continue to feed the trolls here. There appear to be just two. I wager that if we all make it a point to ignore them, they'll go away.
The best solution remains strategic deletion for a while until they tire, but that requires administration time that probably isn't worth the effort.
On-topic, voter fraud actually exists. However, it does not exist in the way Mr. Rove likes to claim. A simple application of Occam's razor should suffice: mobilizing and training squadrons of multiply registered voters is labor-intensive, ineffective and really, really easy to detect and prosecute. Classic and effective voter fraud, by contrast, must be efficient and must be run by very few, so it can be kept secret or at least plausibly denied. The closest to the Rove-hypothesis fraud of which I know is absentee voter fraud, which at times (indeed in Florida, famously) has been a problem. There is a rogue's gallery of real cheats out there, and neither party has a monopoly on them.
Mr. Rove has prevented precisely none of them from happening again.
I wager that if we all make it a point to ignore them, they'll go away.br/>
You'd wager wrong. "Bart" kept up his horsesh*t for a year over at Greenwald's blog, regardless of approach, until he decide to call Glenn a liatr and Glenn finally and reluctantly banned him.
I won't let "Bart"'s meadow wafers go unchallenged. He, OTOH, eventually walks away from any thread where he's losing (sadly enough, only to restart the same cow patooties on a new thread a couple weeks later as if no one has said anything).
Very helpful tip.

Man Crush: INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
|Neil Jordan
|Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Antonio Banderas
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Nowadays, it might be hard to believe that Tom Cruise was ever considered a sex symbol. But back in the '90s, he was a poster boy for smokin' hot machismo, and when he joined forces with Brad Pitt in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, theaters across the country threatened to explode from audience libido. This October, Man Crush is giving you the chance to flash back to Cruise's glory days while celebrating the vaguely homoerotic bond between two manly men. Prepare for blood lust (and just plain lust) in this awesomely campy film about vampire bromance and betrayal. Cruise's inherent insanity works in his favor (the blonde hair, however, does not), while Pitt does a great job of looking pretty and sad. Supported by a totally creepy Kirsten Dunst and a smoldering Antonio Banderas, this epic story takes us back to a time when vampires were scary, not sparkly, and leading men were encouraged to have ponytails.

|Watauga Remembers
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 26 July 2013 11:29
Watauga stopped briefly today to remember—it was a year ago this morning Watauga Deputy William Ronald Mast Jr. was shot and killed, as was his assailant, 33-year old Mitchell Trivette. The tragedy seemed to multiply as the day went on—that Mast left behind a wife, pregnant
with a son that would never know his father. That the troubled man who fired the shotgun early that morning that killed deputy Mast was shot and killed by another deputy who has to live with the horror of that early morning moment. Today will be a day of remembrance of the fallen deputy, with thoughts for the wife he left behind, the son he never saw. Watauga Commissioners, in a proclamation adopted last week, are asking for flags to be flown at half staff, and for a moment of remembrance, which came at 10 this morning. There was silence on law enforcement and our radio stations, and there were some sounds—several members of the Watauga Community Band chimed hand bells on King Street downtown at 10. The county commission is seeking to have the bridge on US 421 over the South Fork of the New River named for Mast, working with the State and Town of Boone on that project.

Australia's recently imposed $23-per-ton carbon tax is wreaking havoc across the continent. The tax went into effect only last July, but already it is contributing to record business failures, including major losses in the manufacturing and tourism industries, and increasing family electric bills by 10 percent. It is also, according to the government of the state of Victoria, driving up healthcare costs.
A Victorian Health Ministry review of billing data from 30 of the state's 91 hospitals revealed that in just the first six months of the carbon tax, hospitals and other health services were hit with over $6.7 million in additional energy costs. With total energy costs of $45.6 million over that same period, that means that 15 percent of their costs were directly attributable to the tax, the Melbourne Herald Sun reports.
The tax did not affect all hospitals equally. Some hospitals experienced increases of just eight percent — still a significant hike — while others saw their energy costs shoot up by a whopping 22 percent.
Victoria is the smallest mainland state in Australia but also the most densely populated state. Its capital, Melbourne, is the country's second-largest city.
In a press release, Victorian Health Minister David Davis called the carbon tax "iniquitous" and said it "was having a very real impact on the budgets of all Victorian hospitals, resulting in a slower growth in services than would otherwise be possible."
"This is an additional cost that is slugged on top for hospitals and health services," he told the Herald Sun.
While the federal government does provide funding for hospitals, the current funding arrangement was agreed upon in December 2011, over six months before the carbon tax went into effect. As a result, Davis told the paper, it does "not adequately cover the new costs."
"This is [Prime Minister] Julia Gillard putting a tax on hospitals," he said. "We are looking for our hospitals to be compensated."

Submission Bungie signs 10-year deal with Activision->
An anonymous reader writes: Infinity Ward may be suing Activision under ellegations of low payment and no royalties, but it seems some developers are still happy to work with the publisher — it has just signed a 10 year deal with Bungie. Activision will publish all of Bungie's games in the next decade — although Bungie will own the IP. The terms of the deal are similar to those brokered by former Infinity Ward chiefs Jason West and Vince Zampella when they signed with EA after being fired in March.

Mets pick up Jose Reyes' Option
The Mets have exercised the $11 million option on Jose Reyes' contract for 2011.
Updated at 6:10 pm:
"Jose Reyes is one of the most dynamic players in the game and there never was any doubt about picking up his option," Sandy Alderson said in a press release.
"A long term deal is not out of the question. It is something we can certainly discuss at a future date."
Updated at 7:00 pm:
Reyes had a better season than he seems to be getting credit for. In fact, at one point this summer, for a good stretch, he played the baseball I've ever seen him play. I am very, very excited to see what he delivers next season, in a walk year, being able to dedicate this off season to conditioning his entire body and working on his overall game, as opposed to nursing himself back from a hamstring injury like last off season.
I suppose he could be still be traded this winter, but I just don't see that happening. Also, I don't doubt that they will engage in talks with him about a contract extension, and I believe he's open to it. But, at the same time, at his age, and considering the type of game he plays, his next contract will be the largest of his career. So, the gamble for him will be based on just how healthy and productive he feels he can be in 2011.
I mean, considering his position and age, a career year from Reyes in 2011 could mean entertaining offers next winter similar to what Carl Crawford is about to see from the Yankees and other teams. Of course, he could take the money and commitment now, and live in peace knowing that he will still be paid in the event he suffers another major injury this coming season. Big decisions…

She's stylish, to be sure, as evidenced by her impeccably assembled ensembles that strike the perfect balance between sophisticated and playful. She's independent too; instead of going into the family business directly (mom is Silvia Venturini Fendi, of those Fendis), Delettrez struck out on her own and launched an eponymous jewelry collection in 2007 at the tender age of 19. But best of all, Delettrez is not only creative, she's also quite talented, clever, and clearly has a sense of humor, which is revealed through her incredible jewelry designs. In celebration of this fashionable entrepreneur, we selected an assortment of Delettrez-inspired items that share our subject's noteworthy sensibilities.
Before picking today's featured products, we spent a considerable amount of time studying Delettrez's wardrobe choices. One thing that became immediately clear is her fondness for textured pieces. For example, at a cocktail party for a photography exhibition in Rome earlier this year, Delettrez stunned in a pair of silver-flecked black Fendi pants styled with a black silk mini sweater from her own "We Men" collection, a plexiglass and wood Fendi belt, crocodile and leather Fendi bag (this Silvana Bag ($8180) is quite similar), and the spider necklace from her "Arachnophobia" collection, which is made of gold, silver, and moonstones. She selected an equally nuanced ensemble for the Valentino Haute Couture show in Paris this summer, when she paired a feathered Valentino skirt with a 3D rose-embellished top, also by Valentino.
The Italian designer also appreciates a little color in her life, using it for both casual and more formal occasions with aplomb. At the Moncler menswear show in Milan a few months ago, Delettrez looked summery in a floral Yves Saint Laurent blouse paired with a vintage black Fendi skirt and ankle boots, as well as the same spider necklace and her own spider bracelet, this one made in black silver and moonstones. To give you a dressier example, she also went for full-tilt hues at the premiere of This Must Be The Place at the Cannes Film Festival in June, wearing a vibrant turquoise gown and a blue and red clutch, both from Fendi's S/S 11 collection.
Bearing all of this in mind, we've rounded up an intriguing mix of products that speak to Delettrez's singular style. When creating your own look, just be sure to add some gothic or surrealist-influenced baubles to ensure you have the perfect look!
Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner ($20) in Triggerfish
One thing Delettrez seems to adore for any occasion is smoky eyeliner, so we knew we had to find the perfect product for today's story. Stila's Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner won out, as it works like a dream and comes in the most insanely gorgeous steel gray color that has just a hint of sheen. Take a page from our GOTM's playbook and try a smoky, lower liner look with an otherwise understated face. The result will be very glam, we swear!
Alice + Olivia Leiby Jumpsuit ($440)
Delettrez definitely appreciates a wide-leg silhouette, but still likes to show off her frame, so we think she'd approve of this jumpsuit because it lets you do both! In addition to its waist-cinching belt, we also think she'd approve of its slouchy, blouson top, which echoes the lines of Delettrez's brightly hued Fendi gown.
River Island Dark Beige Oversized Bag ($79)
Delettrez has access to some of the world's most covetable Fendi bags, but of all her many options, we couldn't help but notice that she often carries a ladylike flap bag. Bearing this in mind, we were delighted to find a similarly shaped top-handle tote in a neutral palette at River Island, and thrilled to note that its price is decidedly more accessible. Also worth noting: Mango's Shopper Handbag ($89.90), Warehouse's Ostrich Day Bag ($70), and Fiorelli's Floris Lady Bag ($154).
Raoul Wide Strapped Sandals ($210, 205.345.1814)
We're fans of this Singapore-based line's separates-the brand makes a mean leather midi skirt-a love we're extending to their accessories too! Case in point: these incredible sandals, which manage to be both chunky and delicate simultaneously. We think Delettrez would approve of their simplicity and strength, qualities she looks for when it comes to footwear.
Topshop Jade Paperbag Waist Midi Skirt ($76)
Naturally we had to include some color in this story, and what better way to do it than with this stunning skirt from Topshop? In addition to its incredible price, this relaxed piece is sure to become a favorite in anyone's wardrobe, thanks to its effortless silhouette in an awe-inspiring shade of green.
Delfina Delettrez Bee Enamel Brooch ($165)
While we swoon for so many of Delettrez's pieces-like the beautifully named Rapunzel Bangle ($2030) and the incredibly chic Button Down Necklace ($1715)-this quirky, cute brooch captured our hearts. Part of her "Garden of Delight" collection, this pin was inspired by an article Delettrez read about bees, which are fundamental to our ecosystem, and are in danger of going extinct. "It is a way to remember and respect this small, but so important, insect," she says. It's also quite chic and totally memorable, making it a multi-tasking piece!
Equipment Sisley Blouse ($208) in Black
Today's GOTM might like a look with a little sheerness, but nothing that's too revealing. This traditional button-down blouse in an unexpected material (silk-chiffon) is a perfect pick because it's feminine without being unfussy. We'd imagine she'd pair with a textured jacket and sleek trousers for a womanly, yet work appropriate, ensemble.

THE WAIT FOR JOSH BAILEY IS OVER2008 first-rounder to make NHL debut today
10:16 am – From the site that yesterday brought you "Don't Wait For Josh Bailey," presents this 24 hours later:
Josh Bailey is probably playing today for the New York Islanders when they host Philadelphia in a Veterans Day matinee at the Coliseum.
Looks like Mike Comrie's surgically-repaired hip may need a game or two of rest, so the Islanders will use the opening at center as an opportunity to take an NHL look at Bailey, the ninth overall pick in the 2008 draft.
We wrote in this space yesterday that Bailey, if at all, might get a game or two before the Islanders – appropriately – return him to Windsor of the Ontario Hockey League and a possible spot on Team Canada at the WJC. Comrie's hip check-up with the medical staff appears to have changed that. Now it's on Bailey to prove whether he deserves a longer look.
The bottom line is that if you wanted to see the NHL debut of the Islanders' first round pick, it seems safe to acquire your tickets for today's game.
