They warned me that if I voted Republican, there’d be a wave of claims of voter fraud when ethnic minorities tried to vote.<\/p>\n

And they were right<\/a>!<\/p>\n

GOP operative Heather Linville put it well on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

@H_Linville: Oh…. OK. So now voter fraud exists, because a democrat might lose her seat. Got it! http:\/\/t.co\/CwKIYpMm3j #stribpol<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the Strib:<\/p>\n

The attorney for Phyllis Kahn says he got word Thursday night; there might be hundreds of people who are registering and voting using an address that’s not their home.
\nAbsentee voting kicked-off Friday morning in a hotly contested democratic primary race for the state house between incumbent Phyllis Kahn and Mohamud Noor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Republican operator Heather Linville put it best on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Stop me if you’ve heard this before (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

Brian Rice, attorney for the Phyllis Kahn Volunteer Committee, claims there’s voter fraud.
\n“I think there is a coordinated effort to use this address to bring voters into the DFL primary election on August 12, that’s what I think is going on,” Rice said. “It’s wrong, it violates Minnesota Law, it’s a crime.”
\nAccording to voter registration records from the Secretary of State’s office and the DFL Voter Activation Network more than 140 people used 419 Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis<\/strong> as their home address, when they registered to vote.
\nThe address is for what’s called Cedar Mailbox Center. The building manager and mail center’s employees weren’t comfortable speaking on camera, but they said they were surprised by the allegations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, during the 2010 elections the Minnesota Majority noted scads of such irregularities – including nine people listing a laundromat <\/em>as their “home” address.\u00a0 The response?<\/p>\n

“It can’t be!”<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

“We have the best election system in the country”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Until it’s Phyllis Kahn being defrauded, of course.<\/p>\n

TANGENT:\u00a0 Remember when the only reason to claim voter fraud was racism?\u00a0 Why do <\/em>Rep. Kahn and the DFL hate Somalis, anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
