Another Election Voided Over Fraud

There is yet another story this week involving the voter fraud that we are continually assured never happens in America. And another local election has now been declared void by a judge and will need to be run again. This took place in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. The voters there were choosing a new sheriff and the initial election margin was razor thin, with the Democrat squeaking out a victory by a single vote. But multiple “irregularities” turned up in the voting, with illegal votes being cast along with other issues. The judge finally declared that it was “impossible” to know the true results. Jon Dougherty has the details at Conservative Brief.

A state judge has voided an election where a Democrat won by a single vote after discovering that the balloting was rife with fraud, subsequently ordering a new election.

Democrat Henry Whitehorn won the race for Caddo Parish, Louisiana, sheriff in November, beating Republican John Nickelson by one vote out of the more than 43,000 cast, KSLA reported.

The ruling by retired Louisiana Supreme Court Justice E. Joseph Bleich found that “it was proven beyond any doubt that there were at least 11 illegal votes cast and counted” and that it is “legally impossible to know what the true vote should have been,” the outlet noted.

You can get a look at the candidates here.

Unlike the fraudulent mayoral election in Bridgeport, Connecticut between two Democrats, it’s difficult to say which side was doing the cheating in Caddo Parish, or if they were both involved. In this sheriff’s race, at least two people voted twice. Four votes were cast by “unqualified individuals.” At least five mail-in ballots wound up being counted despite “not adhering to the law.”

It’s unclear exactly how much of the fraudulent voting was the result of intentional malfeasance or simply incompetent administration. Unlike the voided election in Connecticut, there don’t appear to be any damning videos of people stuffing ballots into drop boxes or stealing them from the mailboxes of neighbors. But at least some of the incidents in Caddo Parish suggest that people were up to no good.

As seen in the tweet embedded above, it’s being reported that at least some of the flawed mail-in ballots were cast in the names of dead people. That doesn’t happen by accident. As for the two people who voted twice, it’s at least possible that someone could do that accidentally, particularly if it’s someone who has reached Joe Biden’s level of cognitive ability or lack thereof. But let’s be honest… if you’ve reached the point where you can no longer remember that you already voted, you probably shouldn’t be voting to begin with.

Yes, this was a small, local election involving barely 40,000 people. But it’s yet another reminder that these sorts of things are taking place all around the country. And the more incidents there are, the more they add up at the state and national level. I’m confident that the only reason we don’t see more confirmed reports of voter fraud and subsequent court rulings is that most election officials simply take the first result and go with it rather than combing through the details. And the media hates covering voter fraud stories because such evidence runs counter to The Narrative.
