Voter Fraud in SD - Chris Cassidy is lying
Chris Cassidy, the spokeman for the SD Campaign for UNHealthy Families, "disappeared" for a few days after voter fraud allegations against him and others at UNHealthy Familes (taped and video'd) surfaced a few days ago. But he turned up in Rapid City last night on a KOTA news report. Lying through his teeth, Cassidy says;
Absolutely not, we're following the letter of the law," Cassidy said.
Cassidy says throughout the campaign, Campaign for Healthy Families staff have only registered 15 voters and denies any involvement with the man in the video.
He owes South Dakotans an explanation of why my earlier link to his biography at the website of his California employer now takes you to a blank page. He is also not listed any longer on the "team" page of that website as he was when I linked to the page October 27, just three days ago. Thank God for screen shots - I have them all - including one that says under his name… "Associate - Corcoran & Associates Public Affairs - April 2008 to Present".
The sudden removal of these pages on his employers website is an obvious cover up the fact that he is only here for the election. Too late. Here's one of the screen shots that appeared three days ago but is mysteriously gone today. I blocked out his email and phone number because I'm nice.
Two days ago Cassidy told the Argus Leader the following;
Cassidy said Monday that he followed state law in registering to vote in South Dakota this year.
"I'm not registered anywhere else," Cassidy said. "I live here, and I'm registered to vote here."
Do you suppose Cassidy's wife is going to move here after the election to join him since he suddenly "lives here"? His bio above says she's a teacher in Oakland, CA. Seventeen minutes of audio that has been given to the South Dakota Attorney General repeatedly testifies that Chris Cassidy, like many who are here to work for the Campaign for UNHealthy Families, are voting here and "going home after the election." That's illegal. Violations are punishable by up to two years in prison and a $4,000 fine.
If you wonder why I'm pressing the issue here it's because we have out-of-state doctors coming in to do abortions. And we have millions in out-of-state money being spent here to ensure abortion remains available for back up birth control. And now we have out-of-state people coming in here to vote. South Dakota needs to makes some noise on this right now.
On the front page of the Rapid City Journal today is this story - Influx of democratic voter registrations could benefit opponents of abortion ban. You think? Vote Yes For Life notes it's all "suspicious." I'll say.

Hello Pot? This is the kettle… you're black.
Steve… I just get so very tired of your exaggerations. This story is tired and the reason this hasn't gotten any traction thus forcing you to spew it in this distasteful blog is because there is no substantiation to these claims. This is ridiculous and fortunatley the media and the public are seeing this for the political stunt that it is.

Great posting Steve. Not surprising as this falls into line with everything other deceptive act that comes from that camp. Here is a news flash for them- healthy families do not lie.
This should be an indication that every postcard, TV or paper ad that comes from the opposition is a lie. It is obvious that they themselves feel they can't win on the merits of their bogus arguments so now they need to bring in out of state people to sway our election.
Has anyone even asked why someone from San Francisco needs to come in to run an office for "unhealthy families" ? Can't they find someone passionate enough about this issue who would step up to the plate from South Dakota? Oh yeah, it is kind of like the donations for their campaign- they can only find 5% of people from South Dakota to contribute, the other almost 95% are from out of state.
I've noticed not a mention from our dear friend "That Girl" on this issue. What's up with that?

People who do this should go to jail!

Hello Suzie - Do you have any proof that Chris intends to stay in South Dakota after the election?
On a side note, I have always wondered what a $1,900,000 puppet looks like.
PC @ 8:33 am
Steve, Thanks for flipping on the lights by exposing the voter fraud by these out of state scoundrels.
Don't stop turning up the heat on these people because the truth will always eventually rise to the surface.
As for the motivation of these pro-death people invading the heartland: "All those who hate me love death" (Proverbs 8:36b)

Steve:
Students for Life just released this video of Planned Parenthood describing how they commit infanticide. WE MUST STOP THEM! South Dakota, through IM11, has a destiny to fulfill.

He's in the right.

So are we going to send all the snowbirds that live in their SD registered RV's in Arizona to jail for voting absentee in SD?
The law is pretty clear. If you live here when you register, and you live here when you vote, it's legal.
Nikole @ 3:03 pm
Detroit and Nate - I belive that you failed to read the key part of the law "if the person has no present intention of leaving" which Chris Cassidy does have intent to leave when the election is done.
Travis @ 4:30 pm
Nikole said it all!
Jail time for Mr Cassidy. I wonder what kind of job he will be able to get when he gets out of prison?
Maybe he will run for DNC Chair.

Six weeks or so ago, I saw something on the news about people coming from out of state into SD to stay for a short time to participate in the election and then leave town. The TV crew had filmed a camper parked someplace. I knew right then and there that fraud and deception was going to take place in this election, so it didn't surprise me that things are now being exposed.
Have you noticed that the prodeath people look very tired, angry and dark eyed while we are alert, awake and energized? Hmmm… Truth upon truth, but could it be that being a deceiver robs a person of their years and makes them look older than they really are while they act much younger than they really are? Truth builds a person up while lies tear them down.
I sure hope the death camp's printers have broken down! Today, I receive my fourth piece of JUNK MAIL within the last 12 days. Today's was a bigger, heavier thing that must have cost alot to print and distribute. They obviously are wasting alot of money deceiving people. At times like this, I covet the illiterate. I didn't waste my time reading what the death camp sent to me today!
Things just keep getting more interesting! Oblabba now has witch doctors in Peru supporting him. I wonder why other countries are taking so much stock in this election. Hopefully, they are not investing in it. That could be more catastrophic than our stock market situation!
William @ 8:34 pm
Chris is now well known enough that if he returns to his wife in CA after the election, it demonstrates that he didn't register legally. If he indeed does vote in the election, under these circumstances, I don't see how the state could fail to charge him.
There are others that will cast fraudulent votes but none with his name recognition. If Chris is prosecuted, he may decide to testify agains others involved in fraud in order to negotiate his sentence. This would be a good thing.
Detroit Lewis @ 2:12 pm
"if the person has no present intention of leaving"
And now the AG is supposed to be a mind reader? Not sure how they are going to prove that one. What is the allowable amount of time he has to stay here after he votes? Nobody knows, because it is not included in the law. In other words Chris could stay 2 days after the election, or 2 years, doesn't matter. He could say he got a better job offer on November 6th, then leave. The law is very vague, that's why people who live in Arizona half the year in their RV's that are registered in SD get away with it, it is a poorly written law.
Trust me, both sides of the Measure are taking advantage of it.
Travis @ 3:27 pm
Why trust you Detroit?
Jen @ 3:58 pm
Detroit… it is so funny to me that every law that YOU (or unhealthy families/planned parenthood) do not agree with is "poorly written"…
