A James Madison University student named Andrew J. Spieles, 21, was sentenced to at least 100 days in prison for registering names of dead people to vote, CBS 6 WTVR reported.

The kicker? This man was paid to submit these names to the Registrar’s Office. Spieles was working for Harrisonburg Votes, a political organization affiliated with the Democratic Party, when he committed the crime.




CBS 6 WTVR reports (http://wtvr.com/2017/06/26/andrew-spieles-guilty-plea/):


“In July 2016 Spieles’ job was to register as many voters as possible and reported to Democratic Campaign headquarters in Harrisonburg,” a U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesperson said. “In August 2016, Spieles was directed to combine his registration numbers with those of another individual because their respective territories overlapped. After filling out a registration form for a voter, Spieles entered the information into a computer system used by the Virginia Democratic Party to track information such as name, age, address and political affiliation. Every Thursday an employee/volunteer hand-delivered the paper copies of the registration forms to the Registrar’s Office in Harrisonburg.”


Later that month, someone at the Registrar’s Office called police after another employee saw a name they recognized on a registration form.


The name was the deceased father of a Rockingham County Judge.


“The Registrar’s Office discovered multiple instances of similarly falsified forms when it reviewed additional registrations. Some were in the names of deceased individuals while others bore incorrect middle names, birth dates, and social security numbers,” the spokesperson continued. “The Registrar’s Office learned that the individuals named in these forms had not in fact submitted the new voter registrations. The assistant registrar’s personal knowledge of the names of some of the individuals named in the falsified documents facilitated the detection of the crime.


“Spieles later admitted that he prepared the false voter registration forms by obtaining the name, age, and address of individuals from “walk sheets” provided to him by the Virginia Democratic Party, fabricating a birth date based on the ages listed in the walk sheet, and fabricating the social security numbers. Spieles admitted that he created all 18 fraudulent forms himself and that no one else participated in the crime.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Harrisonburg Police Department investigated the crime.


Donald Trump Jr. trolled Democrats on Twitter saying, “I thought this never happens? Also, I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess he’s a democrat.”


Of course he’s a Democrat! This is why Democrats don’t want voter I.D. laws.

The Dem platform is basically killing babies , welfare , food stamps and raising taxes on the rich . They feel dead people support that too.

Of course he’s a Democrat! This is why Democrats don’t want voter I.D. laws.

Getting people who identify conservative, to rally for government I.D. solution.

So protected, are recognized rights.

Played like a fiddle.

Voter rolls are public record. I think you can go to the election commission and get copies of them. It would not be a hard thing to ask for a district and go through to clean house. It would not be a problem to compare them to tax rolls and other public records. I would have no problem taking those findings to a judge.

Why oh why haven't they been cross referencing the death certificates with the voters registration system?

It's all on computer so they should easily be able to see if a registered voter is dead and flag that voter from voting.

[euphemia]

No kidding. Social Security Death Index is online. The Census should be compared with voter rolls at least every 10 years. I consider the right to vote one of the most important rights we have, and when the system does not police itself, it chips away at our rights.

Getting paid by the name creates incentive to add fake names to get more money.


Porter said while the false applications were filed, no illegal votes were cast in this case.

9 Florida Counties Report Faked Voter Registration Forms From GOP-Backed Firm

A GOP-backed consulting firm may have submitted "hundreds" of faked voter registration forms in Florida, according to the Florida Department of State.

The GOP cut ties with the third party voter registering company Strategic Allied Consultants on Thursday after the Palm Beach County elections supervisor flagged 106 of the firm's registration forms for having similar handwriting, incorrect addresses and incomplete information.

Since then, elections officials in nine Florida counties have unearthed hundreds of possibly fraudulent registration forms.

Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Florida Department of State, said the state does not yet know the exactly how many forms were allegedly faked. While it is not unusual to get reports of incomplete registration cards, Cate said it is rare for the state to have so many forms with false or wrong information.

"We are concerned about any cases of voter fraud," Cate said. "In this case, it has to do with most allegations regarding bad information on voter applications. We don't know the extent of how it could impact election, but we will let the Florida Department of Law Enforcement determine full extent of the problem."

Strategic Allied Consultants claims the issue stemmed from one employee, who was fired on Sept. 15, but county election officials claim the fraud was more widespread, stretching across counties that are more than 500 miles apart.

"I don't subscribe to the theory that this was the action of one single individual who was able to get into more than half a dozen counties from one end of Florida to the other," said Paul Lux, the Okaloosa County Election Supervisor.

Lux said that out of 2,200 forms that Strategic Allied workers submitted, he and his staff have found about three dozen that appear to be faked. Some have signatures that do not match the names; others are only partially completed and a handful of forms have addresses that do not exist, he said.

"The problem is when you pay someone to do something like this, it kind of lends itself to what do you do to get paid?" Lux said.

The Republican Party of Florida paid Strategic Allied Consultants $1.3 million to register voters starting in July. State party spokesman Brain Burgess said the Republican National Committee asked the state party to hire the consultants and paid for the firm. Before hiring the consulting group, Burgess said Florida Republicans relied solely on volunteers to register voters.

The County Clerk always did that in the County I used to live in .

I wonder what the SJWs offer the dead to vote as Democrats. Free government provided worms?

Are Election Officials Required to Keep the Voter Rolls Up to Date?

Yes. The NVRA—specifically, NVRA Section 8—mandates that states take steps to keep their voter rolls up to date by removing voters who have died or moved out of state, but it contains a number of restrictions on how states can carry out that mandate.1 It also permits—but does not require—states to remove voters who have become ineligible under state law (such as when an individual is convicted of a felony).2 The key to Section 8 is that voters cannot simply be removed haphazardly. Only ineligible voters can be removed.


What Is the Process for Removing a Voter Who Has Moved?
The NVRA sets out a multi-step process for removing a voter who has become ineligible because of a move outside of the jurisdiction in which the voter is registered (“jurisdiction” is legalese that here usually means a county, parish, township, or city—whichever governmental unit within the state is responsible for registering voters). First, a state or local election official must have a reasonable basis for believing a voter has moved, such as a forwarding address the voter filed with the Postal Service. Once there is reliable information that a person may have moved, what happens next depends on whether the voter’s new address, if it is available, is within the same jurisdiction or in another jurisdiction. If the move is within the same jurisdiction, the voter rolls must be updated with the new address, and the election official must send a notice to the voter allowing the voter to confirm or correct the change.

If the new address is outside the jurisdiction or if no new address is available (such as where mail to the voter was returned as undeliverable but without a forwarding address), the election official must attempt to confirm that the voter has really moved. The official does so by sending a confirmation notice asking that the voter either update her address or let the official know if the address has not changed. According to the law, this notice—because it carries with it the consequence of being removed from the rolls—must be sent by forwardable mail to maximize the probability that the voter will receive it.

What happens next depends on the voter’s response to the notice. There are four possibilities:

If the voter responds and indicates that her address forvoting purposes has not changed, the election officialmust leave the voter on the rolls.

If the voter responds to the notice and confirms a move within the jurisdiction, the election official must update the voter’s address and may not remove the voter from the rolls.

If the voter responds and confirms a move to another state or another jurisdiction within the state, the voter may be removed from the rolls. Some states update the registration rolls for moves to a new jurisdiction within the state, rather than removing the voter.

If the voter does not respond and then does not vote over the course of the next two federal election cycles, the voter may be removed from the rolls.3


Are There Limits on the Reasons for Which Voters Can Be Removed?

Yes. First and foremost, voters cannot be removed for failure to vote.5 That means that no matter how many elections a voter may sit out, the voter’s name cannot be automatically stricken from the rolls.6 It also means election officials can’t assume that a voter’s failure to vote in one or more elections means the voter has moved or died. That is, the voter’s failure to cast a ballot in an election (or two or three) cannot trigger the NVRA address confirmation notice that will result in the voter’s registration being cancelled after continued inactivity.
