Dem Caught On Tape Handing Out Absentee Ballots in Mass Senate Race?
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 1:04 PM
It looks like Chris Matthews’ dream has come true.
The democrats still do cheat in Massachusetts.
A woman in Lawrence, MA, is carrying around blank absentee ballots in Spanish today. She explains to the bloggers who took the video how she’s telling people to mark Martha Coakley’s name. The woman handing out the ballots identifies herself as “Isabel Melendez” and says she has a talk show in which she promoted Coakley’s candidacy.
Michelle Malkin reported: The deadline to apply for absentee ballots for the January 19, 2010 special election for US Senate was on Friday.
More on Melendez: She’s a “community activist” in Lawrence who has run for public office before.
She sounds like a Democrat.
Radio Vice Online has more on the scandal.

Voter fraud is a felony isn’t it….?
Maybe Martha will prosecute her since after today she will have much more free time.

The first question is how this person obtained absentee ballots? The second is when will she be arrested?
I would be checking the ballot returns of dead people.
A photo-id card would solve many of the Dems voting practices.

NAACP honors Isabel Melendez
The Eagle Tribune January 22, 2002 by Ethan Forman
Haverhill – Community activist and former Lawrence mayoral candidate Isabel Melendez was honored for her efforts with that city’s minority community.
The Merrimack Valley chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gave Melendez the annual Ben Armstrong Drum major For Change Award yesterday at a breakfast marking Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Melendez, a native of Puerto Rico, helped establish the Roberto Clemente Children’s Little League, founded funeral service organizations to assist families in need during times of grief, started a local Spanish-speaking radio talk show, and said that during her run for mayor she helped unite different ethnic groups and recruited more than 2,000 new voters. Melendez was one of the first Latino residents to move to Lawrence, which is now 60 percent Spanish Speaking–43,019 residents out of 72,043, according to the 2000 Census.
A mother of four children, Melendez encouraged the 450 people at yesterday’s breakfast to work toward helping future generations.
“The most precious gift we can give our children is hope, unity and progress for all,” she said. “We must continue to achieve total equality.”
“Several area leaders attended the NAACP event, including Third Baptist Church of Lawrence pastor, the Rev. Robert M. Turner; Haverhill Mayor John J. Guerin Jr.; Congressman Martin T. Meehan, D-Lowell; state Rep. Brian S. Dempsey. D-Haverhill; state Public Safety Director James P. Jajuga; and Lisa D. Riddick, president of the Merrimack Valley chapter of the NAACP.”
Tom Usher commented:
If you can’t win the election why not introduce potential voter fraud to slow down the final count? If Brown can be prevented from being seated long enough because of questions concerning the voting process, wouldn’t that serve the purpose of allowing time to get health control voted in?
BigJ commented:
A DemocRAT, promoting voter fraud? Naawwww…..
reitre05 commented:
I wonder if Coakley has Sheila Jackson Lee up there giving classes on how to get the hundreds of thousands of registered DEAD people to vote for Coakley?
Tom63010 commented:
Remember how it was explained that the reason we should fight the terrorist on their own turf was the benefit that they would gather to the area and it was better to kill them on their soil not ours.
Well it appears that Progressives do the same thing.
At least cockroaches are smart enough to disperse when you turn on the light.
Terrorist and Progressives are in fact dumber than cockroaches!

Truly, it is time for voter IDs. That is one thing that the “haves” would not mind footing the bill for, since the main objection to voter IDs is that it puts a burden on the “have nots” to go get an ID. We’ll gladly pay for it, as long as it stops your fraud!

It’s clearly the same woman.
So, now they know who to ask, just in case they decide to do some investigating. I’m not holding my breath, though.
GrayRider commented:
Nothing is too low for the liberals since they have no moral standing. This also appears to be an illegal alien problem, as well.
Has anyone seen Ed Schultz voting 10 or 20 times, yet? Keep your eyes peeled.
Major Kong commented:
Maybe if individuals such as this were prosecuted under federal RICO statutes and convicted along with their conspirators, voter fraud could be reigned in. Must send a loud and unmistakable message to miscreants that this will no longer be tolerated.

Old One commented:
Send this video to every talk radio show host you have an address, post it every blog you can, send it to your elected Republican lawmaker.
Massachusetts residents send it to all your elected officials and “news” sources. After that street demonstrations called for. Give the Alinskyites a feeding of their own rules.
Winston commented:
they’ll cheat their way in, I am afraid
keep fighting commented:
And, this is only what we know about.
Imagine how much corruption is really going on behind Democrat’s lines.
JollyR commented:
OK gang, what is the drop dead date for post mark dates on these Absentee Ballots? Where are they sent and who opens the mail? Just asking, maybe someone should look into that angle in Mass.
Lipstick commented:
The first question is how this person obtained absentee ballots?
She seems to say that she made copies.
Lipstick commented:
And she’s lived in this country for over 50 years and still has such a heavy accent that you can barely understand her.

Adam from NY commented:
Oh boy! More scandal! As if Minnesota wasn’t enough, surely more questionable voting practices are revealed. What a wonderful nation I live in.
Screamin\'mad commented:
Ms. Melendez will never be prosecuted because she will scream racism, which is another word for Demorat and the “whole” community will come forth to say that it is Republicans(truck driving, gun owners, white) that are tarnishing this wonderful womens efforts for a fair election. We need to wake up! Stop playing games with these people. If a white Republican women had done the same thing she would be sitting in jail, without hope of parole. If Melendez was “stuffing the ballots” then she needs to be brought up on charges and given jail time.
Corporal Vere commented:
You also won’t get into heaven if you fraudulently vote Democrat.
Lance commented:
Democracy without voter integrity just isn’t!
toomuch!!! commented:
Does anyone know if Melendez has been arrested and charged? I know that she will never recieve jail time, while being an activist for the Demorats and all, but hopefully some charges will stem from this. The Boston Globe has predicted Cokely as the winner, maybe they have some inside info they thought they would share with us. ACORN, unions, Black Panthers and the rest of the thugs must be going bonkers trying to stuff the ballots in time for a win. I hope Scott Brown wipes the floor with all the Demorats with a sweeping win!!!
