Cecil Pearson’s daughter Darlene told him she voted for Barack Obama for president. President of what? Cecil says Darlene couldn’t tell you. Darlene, 40, is developmentally disabled and functions cognitively at about the level of a 7-year old. She lives in a group home with five other adult women in Roanoke Rapids. “I was shocked when I learned she had voted,” Pearson told Carolina Journal. “She has never voted. My wife and I became her legal guardians in 1996 to prevent exploitation like this.

This is maddening but not surprising. Examples of this type of voter manipulation and fraud abound. Someone should attempt to prosecute this and find out just WHO delivered the votes. Grease some palms . People will talk. Creating fear that if caught you will be prosecuted is one way to discourage this type of thing. It´s disgusting.

I was a Republican polling judge in St. Louis County, Missouri in the last election. A black woman brought-in her adult son with Down´s Syndrome. She voted and "helped" him vote also. It seemed that he was not really aware of what was occurring and certainly did not have the cognitive power to understand complex political issues. With love and respect I ask, why do we allow people to "help" the mentally disabled to vote? The mother was really just voting twice for Hussein Obama.

Time for someone to be charged with Voter Fraud and do the Perp walk.

You can dismiss the charges later - but you will send a message.

The dims are the party of crooks, loons and spending money. How sad that a mentally ill person is dragged in to vote for whoever her family or voter aids suggest. Illegal? I think so, but then that is the dim way. Bunch of crooks and liars.

Be fair now people...........If we did not allow those with mental handicaps to vote, Uhhhhbama would have gotten 60 million less votes.........

The Pearsons could have avoided this problem as soon as absentee ballots were being mailed out in their state. They could have started talking to their daughter about voting during this time and kept in touch with her about how her residential facility was getting involved in the process. The minute she responded by telling them she was going to vote, what the facility´s staff were telling her about the candidates, how they were going to help her, etc., the Pearsons could have nipped the problem in the bud and discussed voting with her.

They could also have made this story public during election season that way (although there would likely not be much of a difference, given how stories like this get buried).

A similar thing happened a few years ago in northern California with parents of a developmentally disabled young lady who told them she had to vote for Obama. They went public with their story, and the day program their daughter attended apologized to all the angry families who found out.

This is the most disgusting event I saw or heard about within this past POTUS election. I wonder if these care takers were paid to illicit these Special and mentaly handicapped people to vote for Obama. Acorn will do anything to get a vote for BHO. After all, the Late Community Organizer has a skill after all.That is stealing from the mentaly incompetent.
I´ll bet he is proud of how his buddies on the street caught votes anyway they could get them....what pukes

First time I observed this on a massive scale was when Corzine ran for the Senate from NJ.

Busloads of mentally disabled folks voting with the help of their aides.

Next they´ve gone to using absentee ballots for people confined to institutions. People with NO awareness at all of the exploitation.

The DemoRATS have been doing this in Maryland for decades. Every election, they go to nursing homes and ´Help´ the residents to vote! Of course, they all vote a straight DemoRAT ballot!

Alzheimer´s patients in some facilities, especially those where the workers are SEIU members, vote, absentee ballot.
Nothing surprising here. Unfortunately.

I believe David Horowitz wrote a column about this, as his mentally disabled BIL told the family he had voted for Obama and didn´t know who Obama was! Horowitz was outraged.
Do a search for the column.

This happened to me and my daughter, who lives in a residential home and functions at a 2 year old level. When I found out and complained, they couldn´t understand why! They said "this way, you get to vote twice"...no, here in Chicago, that means she cancelled my vote!! I put a stop to it but I know the other residents are taken to vote! Disgusting!!!!

Past Governor, James Doyle, earned the name
in Wisconsin as "Jim Bingo Doyle" because he organized or had organized a group of his people to go to nursing homes and "assist the elderly play Bingo" The game was set up on the day of voting, so those lovely volunteers were only too eager to help the elderly in marking their ballots. The volunteers have no shame, the newspapers didn´t write about it or expose it - why should they? These people act in the interet of the MSM.

Unfortunately most disabled people get some form of government assistance. It makes sense that they would vote for the handout party, even if they had a complete understanding of what was going on.

IRS: Women Filed $1.4 Million
in False Returns
Carolina Journal (Raleigh, NC), by Don Carrington    Original Article
Posted By: rivlax- 5/31/2013 7:53:44 AM     Post Reply
Clinton residents Angela Christina Lainez-Flores and her daughter Karen Mejia filed fraudulent federal tax returns for refunds totaling $1.4 million from tax years 2006 through 2012, IRS special agent Bennett Strickland stated Thursday at a probable cause hearing in a Raleigh federal courtroom. This type of crime often is referred to as Stolen Identity Refund Fraud, or SIRF, and the IRS has described it as the No. 1 tax fraud scheme for 2013.

Tax Refund Fraud

When a woman named Veronica tried to cash a federal income tax refund check for $8,113 April 5 at a Sampson County check-cashing business, instead of a handful of cash she was greeted by members of the Sampson County sheriff’s office who suspected that her tax refund was the result of a fraudulent tax return. [SNIP] They detained Veronica, seized the check, which had been issued March 22, and made a copy of the tax return and a driver’s license from Honduras that she used at the check cashing business to establish her identity.

Bill Sherrill feels like he has an uphill battle in an effort to continue self-distributing the beer he brews at Red Oak Brewery in Guilford County. He chooses to hire people to distribute his beer instead of going through a distributor. But under current state law, that option would not be available to him once he tops 25,000 barrels of beer per year. [SNIP] Sherrill believes he’s fighting against a powerful lobbying group in the N.C. Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association. He’s tried to get the cap raised in past years, but his efforts have gotten nowhere.

Victims Surprised To Learn

The victims of stolen-identity tax refund fraud are real people, not just statistics. Two of them, whose names came up in a Carolina Journal investigation into tax refund fraud, are Jody A. Freed, of Slatington, Pa., and Evan Russell, who lives in Raleigh. CJ´s investigation of SIRF originated from a tip from a Durham retiree who discovered that the mailbox at his home was being used as a drop site for a tax fraud scheme. [SNIP] The reporting has unearthed refunds from the federal government and from revenue departments in several states, including North Carolina.

Stolen Identity Tax Refund
Fraud Widespread

A stolen-identity tax refund scheme uncovered by a Durham retiree in March apparently is so widespread that one federal official has described it as the “No. 1 tax scam for 2013.” [SNIP] In short, criminals file fake tax returns in the name of a taxpayer, but do it before the real taxpayer gets around to it. Then, the IRS, in an effort to provide good service, sends a refund check to the criminal before it learns from employers if the refund actually is warranted.

Voting Drives In State

The director of state facilities for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled said his department will continue to offer annual voter registration and voting assistance for patients and residents. He also said that while efforts are made to notify patients’ guardians about voting activities, a patient’s right to vote takes priority over any objections from guardians. [SNIP] The laws and rules governing voting by mentally challenged individuals remain murky, and it’s unclear whether state employees who assisted disabled patients and residents to cast ballots at early voting sites were complying with the law.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
