East St. Louis: More Voters Registered Than Citizens That Live There

Written By : Warner Todd Huston

It is a particular problem with our voter registration systems across the USA that the voting roles are so filled with ineligible names that we aren’t sure how many voters really live in any particular district. East St. Louis is no different.

In fact, East St. Louis seems to have more voters registered in its district than it even has voting population.

According to the 2010 Census, East St. Louis had a total population of 27,006. The population for those 18 and over, or those eligible to vote, was 19,098. With 22,000 registered voters, it seems to be a numerical impossibility for East St. Louis’ Board of Elections to have an accurate or legal list of register voters.

Now there is already a federal law on the books that is supposed to prevent this from happening. It is section 8 of the Motor Voter Act. That section is supposed to require that each state makes sure that its voter rolls are cleared every year of ineligible voters. Whether the voter has moved, has passed away, has gone to jail or what have you, these ineligible voters are supposed to be cleared off the rolls.

Unfortunately, not once has the states been forced to undertake this move to assure that their voter rolls are true and clear of ineligible voters and fraud.

Earlier this year I spoke with J. Christian Adams and he told me that it would take about $10,000 to bring such a lawsuit to the courts to try and force a state to satisfy section 8 of the Motor Voter law. So that is one problem, for sure. If our actual lawmakers — whether in congress or back in the states — aren’t going to uphold the law, the price for interested parties to force the matter are high.

East St. Louis is not alone with this problem. It is a problem all across the nation.

Yeah East St Louis continually has voter fraud issues. I remember well in the 2000 election a judge ordered polls to stay open later than the law allowed, in violation of the constitution (which plainly and unequivocally says that the legislature controls voting laws and regulations). It seems like every election more stories of fraud come out of that one area.

Perhaps if the needed number of voting places was allocated in the first place, the judge would not have to make that order.

How can St Louis have shortage of accessible voting places, and at the same time supposedly less people than have actually voted.

I think that voting process should span a weekend, and not a single monday. Most people have jobs, kids, etc. One day, or should I say an evening is just not enough. Or perhaps this should be a national holiday, where people are granted free time to vote.

StanW

Or perhaps the judge could have FOLLOWED THE LAW. What about that Vega.

But you have a history of demonstrating that the law only applies to the Right. Typical of Liberals to want to change the rules in the middle of the game when you are getting your ass handed to you!

Well dead people do take a while to vote. Most of them didn’t get to vote more than 5 or 6 times in the allotted time period.

Anyone that cannot be bothered to get out and vote when they have an entire day and months of continual publicity about when its going to take place is probably someone we’re better off not having vote in any case.

Not to mention early voting. And the fact that the people paranor and the rest are worried about don’t have anything going on that day or any day because they’re perpetually unemployed.

That’s an old Republican dirty trick. And it wasn’t invented by Dick Nixon either. Just reduce the number of voting machines, create long lines, discouraged voters who leave, and a cutoff time that leaves many of the persistent ones locked out of the polling booths.

You are blaming a Democrat breaking the law on Richard Nixon?

He is right about the limitation of the voting time and lack of accessible voting centers in some areas of the country. This has been a problem for many years now.

Then you fix that BETWEEN elections, not illegally during an election.

So were those ineligible voters Republican or Democrat?

But there are other explanations for the discrepancy. Are there any thinking people left on this site?

Well then what is the problem? Those people don’t vote even though the census may have counted them as voters. Another trivial nonissue played up while the world is going to hell and the country following along.

I think Motor Voter was forced on the states. Another example of the feds making the rules but putting the costs associated with them on the states.

East St. Louis, Ill has a majority low-income black population, so that makes the allegation (All together now) “waaaaayyyyciiiist” It’s been a dumpycrat stronghold for decades, so of course there’s gonna be plenty of election rigging just like Chicago has had for decades. Purging the voter registries of the deceased would keep them from voting in multiple precincts in one election after another. Maybe next we’ll see liberal pols calling for people to be allowed to vote in the dead folks’ place in order to “represent their wishes and intents”, they’ve come up with a lot crazier schenes in the past, remember the hanging and dimpled chads while Al Gore Junior’s lawyers sued to disqualify Military Absentee Ballots by the bagful??

Voter fraud has now become standard operating procedure in so many precincts in America that it is accepted without question. Many precincts not only have 100% of registered voters voting, a quadzillion to one chance that would ever happen anywhere; but some extra votes thrown in for good measure. (The election of Al Franken in Minn. comes to mind.) It is now a given that for any conservative to win an election, at least 60% of the actual vote must be received by the Conservative Candidate to make stealing the election by liberals difficult at best. But Minnesota and Washington State recent elections proves even that is not insurmountable when the Progressives have control of the Secretary of State and the Judges. There is absolutely no incentive to rid the voter rolls of ineligible voters as that would only make it more difficult to cheat the count. As was said in the movie “Gangs of New York”: the voters don’t decide elections, the counters decide elections. If we haven’t won yet, keep counting. Ever wonder why recounts have become so popular in our new environment? Well wonder no more as it should be obvious to anyone and everyone now; voting in many places in America has now become an act of futility if not a complete joke. I have always said that voter fraud is an act of treason and should carry the same penalties. But, in today’s society, a slap on the wrist is seen as too severe because the cheaters, so called disenfranchised minorities, are only trying to get their voice heard. Apparently there are a lot of people willing to flush their Constitutional Republic down the toilet for some feel good fantasy cooked up by the increasing number of anti-Constitutionalists now running the show.
