NJ Democrats Prepare for Election Theft!

One would think that here in New Jersey Democrats would not have to engineer election theft as was done in Minnesota and Washington State. With a clear advantage in voter registration and long standing tactics and techniques for encouraging voter fraud, New Jersey Democrats typically don't sweat elections that much. From the ongoing scandals in Atlantic City and Essex County, to the blatant campaign 'votes for cigarettes' stories we hear in every election, Democrat vote fraud is assumed part of the fabric of New Jersey election politics. But apparently, New Jersey Democrats are worried that with Jon Corzine's horrible reputation, old tricks will not be enough this year. From the Corner on National Review:

This year, New Jersey’s registered voters can request a mail-in ballot for any reason. Before 2005, voters needed to provide a reason for why they needed an absentee ballot. The state received about 150,000 absentee ballot applications this year.

On about 2,300 of those applications so far, the signature on the request form did not match the signature on the voter’s registration forms with the state.

In a development that is depressingly predictable, the New Jersey Democratic Party is asking the state to provide provisional ballots for all these voters. Those ballots, could, presumably, be used to overcome any narrow lead by Republican Chris Christie over Democrat Jon Corzine on Election Day.

I find it amazing how forward thinking these folks have gotten and how well it has paid off for Democrats around the country in the past few years. And now it has come home to New Jersey. I suppose that one piece of good news here is that the Democrats internals must be showing Corzine in serious trouble to have to resort to these formerly unnecessary tactics.
