Introducing the Voter Fraud app
October 27, 2010
Across the country, states like Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Missouri and Arizona have begun to report issues regarding possible voter fraud in their state. With claims of voter fraud continuing to come in, American Majority Action announced today it will launch the nation’s best mobile application to help identify, report and track suspected incidents of voter fraud and intimidation. This free, cutting edge system will enable voters for the first time to take action to help defend their right to vote.
By capitalizing on this Country’s greatest resource, its citizens, AMA plans to empower ordinary Americans with the tools to help protect our electoral system.
“Our right to vote is precious and must be protected,” states Drew Ryun, president of American Majority Action (AMA), a national issue advocacy group and sister organization to American Majority, the nation’s leading grassroots training organization. “This application uses mobile technology for the first time to give voters the power to defend democracy and help address the problems that all too often cast doubt on the credibility of our elections.”
With the eyes of the nation on the polls, the app, which launches today, could be what some activist circles are calling the “game-changer.” Voters can download the free application at https://VoterFraudApp.com. The platform is already available for iPhones, the Droid, and Blackberry. In addition, users can submit reports directly from the website and even track reports on an interactive map.
Americans deserve a free and fair electoral process and must have an avenue to properly address their concerns. Unfortunately, there are some who wish to corrupt the process as seen in Minnesota.
“Thirty-four more people will be charged with voter fraud in Hennepin County in the 2008 election, County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Tuesday, bringing the total cases of alleged abuse to 47 for that election year.
Freeman’s office announced the decision a week after the county sheriff announced voting-related charges against seven people, most of whom are accused of registering to vote while ineligible…
All of the alleged fraudulent voting occurred in Hennepin County, which had 665,000 ballots cast in 2008.”
American Majority Action provides citizens with direct democracy and the press release describes the process:
“When a voter experiences a potential incident of voter fraud or intimidation, they can simply open the Voter Fraud application and submit a report using the Report an Issue button on the home screen. The application automatically opens the phone’s camera, providing the user with a quick and easy way to document the incident. Once the user is satisfied with any photographic evidence, they are prompted to fill out a brief report, providing important details and location of the possible incident.
Using the geo-tagging features available in today’s smart phones, the Voter Fraud application anonymously transmits the coordinates of each report to the VoterFraudApp.com website, making it easy to map areas of abuse in real-time across the country. The application will work with the VoterFraudApp.com website to overlay these reports on a nationwide map throughout Election Day. For the first time ever, elections officials will have the ability to track and respond to complaints as they occur. In addition, the website will house a web-based form so voters may submit reports from their desktops if they do not own a compatible mobile device.”
Every election cycle, accusations of fraud are recorded, but if information is received after the election, those votes have been counted, and it may be too late. By working directly to submit REAL TIME reports the app users have the power to effect real change. This will make it harder for groups like ACORN or those with partisan interests to operate.
In recent years, in state after state, the basic integrity of the electoral system has been undermined by an organized effort to weaken the system. Efforts to reform have been met with ridicule and charges of racism, but the past two years have shown that simple citizen action can turn the tide. Technology has allowed citizens to enter a brave new world in regards to direct action, and this election cycle is only the beginning.
This is easily the most useless app I’ve ever seen.
What do I tell CA residents who cannot be Poll Watchers and take phones with photo/vid capability into the polls?

Dumb Tea Party people, this is what this App is all about…
Looks like a step in the right direction – empowering
the American voter. We will add this information to
our site immediately.
Hogwash….US attorneys across the nation were pressed by the Bush Administration to search out and prosecute voter fraud….to a man (and woman) they reported there wasn’t any serious problem with voter fraud….certainly nothing substantial enough to expend major manpower and resources pursuing. (and it was the reason some of them then found themselves out of work because they wouldn’t heed orders.)
The GOP has been using the “voter fraud” tactic as a justification for a whole rash of new legal requirements which (a) make it harder to register, (b) reduce the amount of time allowed for voting, and (c) virtually eliminate same-day address changes for voters who have been registered but moved.
This app (yet another surprise) is being launched on exactly the same day that Tea Party groups are crowing about legal charges against 47 people in Minnesota’s Hennepin county being charged with voter fraud. That means that six one thousandth of one percent of voters are CHARGED with illegality….not found guilty but charged. (https://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/minn_conservative_groups_voter_fraud_allegations_about_five_percent_accurate.php)
For this we need nationwide campaigns of expensive voter ID, impediments to registration which will keep valid voters from exercising their rights? This is purely and simply a scheme to disenfranchise opponents, being generated by the right wing.
The end result (big surprise) is that these laws will have their biggest impact on the elderly, minorities and college students and (bigger surprise) will have the effect of making it harder for these traditionally Democratic voter segments to take part in elections.
And before you start bleating about how illegal immigrants are surging to the polls to cast illegal ballots…..show me evidence. What illegal in their right mind would want to be calling attention to themselves by trying to register and vote, given their status?
