A non-profit group run by Sharron Angle donated almost $100,000 to a group now claiming that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is trying to steal the U.S. Senate election.
In 2008, Angle's We the People Nevada PAC contributed $92,000 to the Nevada Action Coalition. The Coalition emerged this month as a player in alleging ballot hijinks by Democrats.
Coalition members recently advertised a "voter fraud" meeting and accused Reid of wanting to rig the race.
"Want to make sure Harry and his buddies don't steal this election?" an Oct. 9 web post read. "Then come to the training next Tuesday. We need lots of watchers, cause you know the dark side has secret plans for this election."
Last week, the group posted a second warning to members:
"I recieved (sic) a call...about a 'funny' voter machine at Tropicana & Hualapi. Seems when she voted for a Republican candidate the machine 'helped' by changing her vote to a Democrat candidate.
Moral of this Story...Report ANY voter irregularity to the Poll Watcher Hot Line. We need to report all suspicious activity as you know Harry's men are out to steal this election."
Angle and the Republicans have raised questions this week about the validity of votes. Angle's lawyer accused Reid of trying to steal the vote by offering free food at early voting events.
The Reid campaign in turn accused Angle operatives of flooding polling places to intimidate voters, handing out literature to suppress the vote and running ads encouraging minority voters to stay away from the polls altogether.
Neither side has offered convincing evidence of its fraud charges. The Angle campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
NAC bills itself as "a group of ordinary American citizens who work to expose and stop the corrupt political elites that are giving away or selling our sovereignty for their own gains." They endorsed Angle and Republicans down the ballot.
The Coalition claims that the government wants to merge the United States with "the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada" and designate a section of Kansas City as sovereign Mexican territory, according to its website. It also asserts that Muslim leaders designated a yellow badge for Jews to wear, which was later copied by Hitler in Nazi Germany.
Angle's We the People Nevada was dissolved in May 2009 but advocated for the following principles, as listed in its purpose statement:
* Welfare should be changed to Workfare for able persons capable (of) doing any type of work. Our government agencies have taken on too much responsibility for taking care of the poor. That work should be transferred to private charities. Doing so will reduce fraud and the costs of administration.
* The radical homosexual movement and other groups seek to destroy the traditional family structure which is the underpinning of society. Their agenda should be opposed. Laws should be passed that reinforce the traditional family and discourage divorce.
* Current concepts of political correctness limit freedom of speech and should be eliminated. Pornography is not freedom of speech.
* Government should encourage and remove the obstacles to religious and other groups that increase the general moral atmosphere of the nation. Without a general moral consciousness, freedom cannot exist. This does not include religious groups that seek to attack and destroy freedom.
* Our country should be a truly color blind society. To accomplish that, racial preferences must end. The government should not collect data by racial groups. The concept that people are created by God as equals no matter what their skin color or social or economic status is fundamental to our society. As a diverse nation we must resist all efforts by those who want to divide us and create envy between groups as a way to obtain political power.
Imagine that: The woman claiming fraud is the woman who is financially responsible for the "non-profit" organization seeking answers.
Face it, Sharron: You're out of your mind.
"In 2008, Angle's We the People Nevada PAC contributed $92,000 to the Nevada Action Coalition."
2008???
Typical right wing tactics and fear mongering...No way she wins...
I love the way these folks claim they want to limit the government but they want to pull a chair up to your bedside. Weirdos!
Just when you think things can't get any more absurd...
Out of her mind? Actually, it sounds like she's learning to be a typical politician. Ah, the wisdom we gain . . .
So all of these unfounded and evidence-free allegations of fraud are being alleged by Sharron's attorney and a group she funded?
That's the thing about allegations... they're allegations when there's no proof.
Sharron, quit these pathetic scare tactics and race-baiting television ads and tell us what you would do if elected.
I saw that, too, 2008. So where's the beef (besides in the free hamburgers offered by Reid supporters?)
Hey, I voted there and saw Santa Claus! Honest.
The part I find interesting is that they NEVER report these problems to the poll workers.
They always wait until later and report them to a group ran my Ms. Angles people.
Has to make a person with common sense think about if there is really a problem or just someone trying to set this election up for court action.
They accuse Ried of attempting to steal the election when it seems Angle is setting herself up to pull off the okey-doke after the polls close.
Harry's NOT TRYING TO STEAL ANYTHING. IT'S ALL IN ANGLE'S MIND. JUST LIKE THE SHARIS LAW IN DEARBORN, MICHIGAN. Maybe she has a guilty conscience because she's trying steal the election. In any case she should not have any of her cronies trying to scare people away from voting. That sounds more like it!
Angle's supporters remain committed to baseless allegations. These people think a cup of coffee is a criminal offense but see no connection between $100,000 and the actions of this group?
How naive.
Where's the proof of vote fraud?
As Lomax said, every single report has been investigated and NONE have been proven.
Angle's attempting to subvert our election process and her supporters are enabling her.
How pathetically desperate.
I could care less who contributed what to whom in 2008, but those coalition policies make my skin crawl.
Want religion in government? Fine, they can pay taxes -
Crazy Sharron never ceases to amaze me. Just keep your daughters away, FAR away from any male member of her family, especially if your daughter is a blue eyed blond. Nazis at their best!
Mind boggling.
"NAC bills itself as 'a group of ordinary American citizens who work to expose and stop the corrupt political elites that are giving away or selling our sovereignty for their own gains.' They endorsed Angle and Republicans down the ballot." Because clearly, there is no corruption in the Republican party. Say what?!?
"The radical homosexual movement and other groups seek to destroy the traditional family structure which is the underpinning of society. Their agenda should be opposed." Agenda? Oh, they must be talking about the one where homosexuals simply want the same legal rights as everyone else.
"The concept that people are created by God as equals no matter what their skin color or social or economic status is fundamental to our society. As a diverse nation we must resist all efforts by those who want to divide us and create envy between groups as a way to obtain political power." I guess God didn't create homosexuals? And clearly, the inventor of the "wedge issue", the Republican Party, certainly doesn't want to divide us.
How any sane, intelligent, self-respecting, caring person could vote for this nut-job is simply astounding to me.
They're out to pull a Norm Coleman and tie the election up in the court for 9 months like they did with Al Franken*.
Remember, if the election is close and you can keep a few incumbent Dems out of office and in court, then all of a sudden its 50D-48R until the situation is resolved.
* this is where the fallacy of the Dems having a supermajority in the senate comes from - while they had 60 senators on paper for a two months (July-August 2009, from Al Franken's swearing in to Ted Kennedy's death) it wasn't practical from a usage standpoint (Kennedy was ill, obviously). Besides that, Democrats usually think for themselves and aren't anywhere near as in lockstep as Republicans, so 60 Dems really doesn't mean much anyways - there were 3 "Blue-Dog" Dems who couldn't be relied upon.
"We the People Nevada PAC" sponsored the Property Tax Restraint Initiative back in 2008 but did not get on the ballot.
Sharron Angle, the measure's sponsor donated money to the "We the People Nevada PAC" in 2008 to take the issue to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Harry Reid and his supporters will do and say anything to demonize and name call Sharron Angle...
These crazy republicans have never been this
desperate in their entire lives.
They know they have the WORST CANDIDATE IN
NEVADA HISTORY.
They already know they lost.
SHARRON ANGLE IS WORSE THAN BUSH.
Hey, here's the teamster...
Republicans had to field the worst candidate in Nevada history to challenge the worst Senator in Nevada history.
Anyone else would have been overkill...
Harry Reid is on his way to a solid win.
These allegations have been repeated incessantly on KDWN by Heidi Harris. This does not surprise me as Sharron Angle is a frequent guest (weekly if not daily) and it is a nauseating love-fest between these two.
These allegations are totally unverified and unfounded, and our voting machines are just fine. At one time in my life I was a registered Republican and had to leave the party over disgust with their policies and tactics.
Here is an excellent online comment I'd like to introduce :
The reps' top ten agenda...what they don't want you to know:
1. Worry about cost of living increase for Social Security ?"DON'T"GOP will privatized Social Security
2. Privatized the jails across America (how safe will you feel?)
3. Privatized the VA hospitals
4. Cut out Medicaid for vouchers (which a lot of old people may just as will die)
5. Freeze all social programs, including (unemployment benefits, Pell grants, and cut federal jobs, end public schools altogether)
6. Deregulate Wall Street
7. Try to repeal HCR
8. Force a 700 billion dollar tax cuts for the rich on our deficit
9. Cut the minimum wage down to $5.00 an hour
10. Import Taiwan citizen in as slaves to work the grape vineyard, Let chambers outsource more American jobs!
An excellent example of untrue rhetoric that has no basis from the Far Left...
Ten good examples of baseless political spinning...
These desperate republicans can't stop lying.
They know they lost.
GIVE THESE TEABAGGER LIARS HELL HARRY!
Hey teamster. Did you hear this one from Jay Leno?
Halloween is the scariest day for most of us. For the Democrats, next Tuesday will be the scariest...
Larry, are you kidding?
When they see that face of Sharron Angle,
they will run for the hills.
GOOD ONE THERE TEAMSTER, but this is not a beauty contest, is it?
No larry, this is about sane vrs. crazy.
"Here's 5 bucks. Run up and lie to the teacher that
Harry cheated on his test...he'll get in big trouble!"
The immaturity level of Sharron Angle should frighten even the most rabid of Republicans.
But it won't stop them from voting for her, because they've been programmed to ignore all her faults, because they're being sold a bill of goods by people that could care less what happens here in Nevada once the election is over.
It's a GAME being played out on a national scale, on a national stage. It's called "Give Harry The Hook". The object is to lay waste to the middle-class of America, and give the greedy Corporations, Wall St. Bankers, and Health-Care CEO's ALL OF THE NATION'S WEALTH.
In this game, you have MILLIONS of losers, and about 25 winners.
What are YOUR ODDS of being a "winner"???
If you are a "middle class" American, and you don't vote for Harry Reid, you are biting off your nose to spite your face.
Where did Mangle get that dog whistle that only the nuts can hear?
hermit...
That's what the tin foil hats are for!
2008???
