I am heavily involved with absentee voting for Americans living overseas. I work tirelessly to make sure Americans living abroad can vote and stay involved as is their right under HAVA. I also am vigilant to make sure our voters vote properly and legally, and that they make sure to follow the rules. It seems that the GOP in the desparation to hold on to the Georgia Senate seat are hoping no one is paying attention.
A former Dem Abroad who just moved home has reported back to me about some pretty fishy actions from the RNC.
Here's his report;
I have an interesting thing here, and you are the only one I can think to ask about it. It seems there is a run-off election in Georgia-- I've received two mailers from the RNC telling me to register for my absentee ballot. Funny thing is (are):
1.) I'm not registered as a republican (obviously)
2.) I'm not from Georgia, and have never lived there, or had any form of residency/official business there-- I live in Pittsburgh, PA.
3.) My name is slightly different but similar to the two names these mailers are addressed to.
4.) I have only lived at this address since February of 2008-- and it was under remodeling for a year before that, aside from which, there is no way in someone with these names ever resided here before me.
And last, which I realized when I considered they may have culled this address from voter roles of this years PA election:
5.) I actually voted in a different district than the one I live in now- by voting in the same district I'm registered in, i.e. the address on my Drivers License, which is my parents house, as it has been since before I lived in Japan...I haven't gotten around to updating my license yet, and didn't want to deal with the chance of poll workers questioning my validity or what not (No provisional ballot for me!)
Is this fishy?
It seems fishy to me-- like the RNC is purposely trying to round up votes, be they legitimate or not, in order to stuff the ballot box and then do their chicanery to undermine a count or challenges to the authenticity of said votes.
I have sent this info up the chain, but it is pretty clear that there is some vote fraud being perpetrated by the GOP. Everyone be vigilant! They are for sure trying to steal this one!
