What do you do if once you are elected to power you want to stay there? With the mood in the country turning decidedly against the current crop of utopians in Washington, billionaire leftist loon George Soros had a solution: control those who certify elections. A Soros sponsored group with the Orwellian name The Democracy Alliance has been throwing support and money at Sorosians running for the office of Secretary of State for several years.
Back in 2006, under the headline “Top vote counter becomes prize job,” USA Today reported that, “…the new San Francisco-based Secretary of State (SOS) Project [is] focused on swing states, where close races pose ‘the greatest likelihood of abuse and the greatest consequences,’ SOS strategist James Rucker says. His project aims to raise several hundred thousand dollars from liberals online for candidates…”
Today, 18 states have Sorosians insuring the “integrity” of the voting and counting process. In fact, comedian Al Franken (now in the U.S. Senate) owes his election to Minnesota’s Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat supported by SOS. As the Wall Street Journal reported at the time of the Minnesota recount, “Under Minnesota law, election officials are required to make a duplicate ballot if the original is damaged during Election Night counting. Officials are supposed to mark these as ‘duplicate’ and segregate the original ballots. But it appears some officials may have failed to mark ballots as duplicates, which are now being counted in addition to the originals.” It took several months, but Al Franken’s 215-vote loss to Republican incumbent Norm Coleman tuned into a 312-vote victory for Franken. 100 of these votes came from the Democratic Party stronghold of Iron Range, Minnesota. One precinct ballot machine in question “carried a date of Nov. 2, two days before the election,” the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported.
Speaking to Soros and fellow billionaires working hard for us “the little guy,” the Secretary of State Project website states, “With your support, we have made a major difference. We can be sure that the Republicans and the opponents of honest elections will try triply hard to regain lost seats and capture seats held by reformers.” In other words, George Soros will use his considerable money and power to insure his “reformers” are not subject to the vagaries of the electoral process. He won’t have We the People getting in his way. The Tea Party and her allies would be wise to focus attention on upcoming Secretary of State races least the batty Soros becomes Americas next King George – with a Napoleonic Complex.
