What follows is a generalized breakdown of voting in any given election:
People | Percent for Victory |
100%, all people | 50%, plus 1 |
70% eligible to vote (excludes aliens, felons, and minors) | 35%, plus 1 |
40% registered to vote (approximately 60% of eligible) | 20%, plus 1 |
20% vote on election day (50% of registered voters) | 10%, plus 1 |
7% almost always vote Republican | |
7% almost always vote Democrat | |
6% swing votes | 3%, plus1 |
Three percent of the populations plus one voter is where politicians live and die.
In some local and state elections where turnout may be only 20 percent of registered voters, the margin may be far less than three percent plus one.
The average politician lives in constant fear of alienating any substantial portion of this three percent plus one voter he needs in a hotly contested race to win re-election, or to gain higher office.
What is the best way not to alienate these voters? Do nothing to make them mad, which almost always means … do nothing.
This is why even when new politicians are elected, little seems to change. Inertia — or the status quo — is the most potent force in politics.
However, by mobilizing and directing voters rallying around a specific issue, you can change the political environment for a politician or even a group of politicians. One relatively small group can make it more costly for the politician not to act than it is for him or her to act as you want him to.
This is what is meant when it is said that policy is made at the margins. Over time, the number and effectiveness of activists determines political success or failure.
This is also why the homosexual lobby, labor unions, and organized groups so often get legislation they want. They have groups of voters who can, and will, vote on their issue alone. And they often have workers and sometimes money to use against any politician who crosses them.
By becoming a grass-roots leader, you can, too.
That’s where the fun, and the danger, begins.

Quite simply, the Fourteenth Amendment currently is being interpreted to grant automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the United States of illegal alien parents (called anchor babies because under the 1965 immigration Act, they act as an anchor that pulls the illegal alien mother and eventually a host of other relatives into permanent U.S. residency). This clearly is contrary to the original intent of Congress and the States in ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment.
While it has been the practice to bestow citizenship to children of illegal aliens, this has never been ruled on by the Supreme Court.
Professors Peter Schuck and Rogers Smith have noted1 that:
“The present guarantee under American law of automatic birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens can operate…as one more incentive to illegal migration and violation by nonimmigrant aliens already here [.] When this attraction is combined with the powerful lure of the expanded entitlements conferred upon citizen children and their families by the modern welfare state, the total incentive effect of birthright citizenship may well become significant.”

Below, I received the partial list of voter fraud examples from the November 2012 Presidential Election that most of us have seen over the past few months. This time I received the list in an e-mail from an elected official with an earnest question of what to do about it. I’m certainly no expert, but here are the thoughts I sent in reply:
There are many reasons that we lost the election, and voter fraud was part of it — but not all of it.I saw an article go by this week that said there are groups pursuing the examples you sent.So, hopefully, some of that will be flushed out soon
I don’t see it happening, but I’m praying that top-level Republicans (working with other conservative parties like the Constitution Party / Libertarian Party / etc) will see the need for an organized project to watch every vote at every voting precinct in the nation and ensure that voter fraud is wiped out as a potential for swaying the election.It needs to be a proactive effort — not a post-election litigation effort.
We need to:
- Organize and train poll watchers in every state / township / precinct.
- Organize and train Republican election judges in every state / township / precinct.
- Video cameras in each voting location to record the entire day or events of concern by the poll-watchers (even if it’s just smart phone cameras).
- Know how many ballots are taken to each voting location
- Know how many ballots are completed / voided / spoiled / returned from every voting location
- Know the vote counts recorded on each electronic voter machine at each voting location (where used)
- Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any effort to commit voter fraud
- Get rid of all electronic voting machines
The only thing that will wipe out voter fraud is having well-trained eyes on every voting booth the day of the election.
Plus, Brian Bollmann, a lowly chair of a county Tea Party, 3 days before an election, shouldn’t be running around begging for Republican Election Judges for the city of St. Louis.
But that all takes money, and who sees it as important enough to foot the bill?!? It wasn’t in 2012; will it be in 2014 or 2016? I hope it will.
We will certainly continue to work to prevent voter fraud in our little corner of the world as best we can!
FWIW, I kept saying that Romney’s downfall would be that…
“Romney wouldn’t be willing to go to the mat.Obama would go to the mat.Romney wouldn’t.”
Romney had Obama down on the mat and let him back up.Too bad.
Below is the partial list of voter fraud examples that instigated the e-mail exchange:
From Bill O’Reilly’s message board:Most everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and our government and media refuse to do anything about it.As each state reported their final election details, the evidence of voter fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in areas of OH and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to investigate election results.Here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come.
- In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
- In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations – and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).
- In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
- In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
- The National SEAL Museum , a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
- Palm Beach County , FL had a 141% voter turnout.
- In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.

Re: Election statistics
We are currently in the process of analyzing last week’s election—what went right, what went wrong, and what we can do better.
While obviously we did not accomplish everything we set out to do, I wanted to pass along some of the highlights, which include Mitt Romney’s historic win here in Missouri, as well as our overwhelming victories in the General Assembly and at the county level.
I’ve also attached the county-by-county presidential margin map and maps of our seats in the State House and Senate.
A more complete analysis is expected in the coming weeks, and I welcome your thoughts and input.
Finally, I’d like to thank you all for your hard work this election cycle on behalf of all of our candidates—those who won and those who came up short.
