I haven’t nitpicked many comments made by CPAC speakers, but during the “Saving Freedom From Vote Fraud” panel, ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief passed on a myth that really should be debunked.
“In Massachusetts, the Scott Brown election, there was video of someone passing out blank absentee ballots on election day to people who had already voted.”
This isn’t true. On election day, one of the more than 150 conservative activists who traveled to Massachusetts to document “fraud” filmedLawrence, Mass., community activist Isabelle Melendezshowing a cameraman a facsimile of an absentee ballot as she explained how she educated her radio show listeners on how to fill them out. Facsimile ballots are about as controversial on election day as “I voted” stickers — I saw similar ballot samples posted near the entrances to polling places. ElectionJournal.com never updated its story on the video— it’s been a “developing” situation for a month.
And there you go, a fact-free story that was debunked on election day survives as a “voter fraud” horror story. Behold, the power of shaky video.
