The DEMOCRAT-ic Process

A federal jury has convicted five people in federal vote fraud trial in East St. Louis, Ill. It’s no surprise we’re not hearing our friends on the Left drone on about disenfracnhisement and demands for recounts…. because the five convicted were Democrats, including the Chairman of the city’s Democratic Party, for scheming to buy votes with cash, cigarettes and liquor last November. The case probably goes further up the chain as well:

State records showed that tens of thousands of dollars were transferred from the St. Clair County Democratic party to committee members in East St. Louis days before the Nov. 2 election.

And those five weren’t the only ones.

In March, three other precinct committee members and a precinct worker each pleaded guilty to a related count of vote buying. They are awaiting sentencing.

John Kerry came out in April and tried to explain that he lost because “too many people were denied their right to vote, too many who tried to vote were intimidated.” Curiously, he failed to mention those who were bribed and paid to vote for him.

I’ve had a commenter as recently as this week still dredge up the 2000 election as if there’s any doubt who the true winner was, but I’m willing to bet that same person won’t applaud today’s conviction of those who would threaten to undermine the very democractic process that makes this country great.

They’re just pissed that they’re getting caught doing what they’ve always done.
