How can I write this caption when the good citizens of New Jersey haven't even voted? Simple--in any blue state, it is not enough to win an election, you must win it by a margin so vast, that it overcomes the inevitable shenanigans of Democrats (tell me again why we call them that?) and their allies in ACORN and the election board.

Corzine is entering the election within the statistical margin of error, which means it will be relatively easy for he and his cronies to steal the election.

Groups associated with Acorn in neighboring Pennsylvania and New York appear to have moved into the state. An independent candidate for mayor in Camden has already leveled charges that voter fraud is occurring in his city. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party in New Jersey is taking advantage of a new loosely written vote-by-mail law to pressure county clerks not to vigorously use signature checks to evaluate the authenticity of absentee ballots, the only verification procedure allowed.

The state has received a flood of 180,000 absentee ballot requests. On some 3,000 forms the signature doesn't match the one on file with county clerks. Yet citing concerns that voters would be disenfranchised, Democratic Party lawyer Paul Josephson wrote New Jersey's secretary of state asking her "to instruct County Clerks not to deny applications on the basis of signature comparison alone." Mr. Josephson maintained that county clerks "may be overworked and are likely not trained in handwriting analysis" and insisted that voters with suspect applications should be allowed to cast provisional ballots. Those ballots, of course, would then provide a pool of votes that would be subject to litigation in any recount, with the occupant of New Jersey's highest office determined by Florida 2000-style scrutiny of ballot applications.

Absentee voter fraud is in danger of becoming a hardy perennial in New Jersey. Atlantic City Councilman Marty Small and 13 campaign workers were indicted in September on charges of conspiring to commit election fraud using absentee ballots. One worker pleaded guilty last month. In Newark, five campaign workers were indicted in August on charges involving absentee ballot fraud.

Democrats don't even bother denying these allegations, relying instead on the silence of their compliant media accessories-after-the-fact. The Obama Justice Department walked away from an open-and-shut case of voter intimidation in Philadelpia while David Axelrod today commented on the cancellation of the Afghan election runoff by stating that the election was redundant anyways since Karzai was "ahead in the polls". Apparently we don't need elections anymore, we just need to publish some polls to insure the safety of democracy--not that anyone ever manipulates those.

I'm not much a fan of French politics, but there was one aspect I thought showed promise--banishment to Devil's island.
