Voter Fraud: There’s An App For That!

Tea partiers at a tax-themed monster truck rally in Ham Lake, Minn.

The blog credited with breaking the New Black Panthers voter intimidation story in 2008 is offering a way for voters to report suspected incidents of voter fraud: An iPhone app.

The free app, called iReport and being offered by on-again off-again blog ElectionJournal.org, allows users to send reports of potential voter fraud, along with photos and video, to the blog.

Video of two New Black Panther Party members standing outside a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008 was first uploaded to ElectionJournal.org. The story exploded after Fox News aired the video. The DOJ’s handling of the subsequent case has been the focus of much right-wing ire, as well as the subject of investigations by the DOJ IG and the Commission on Civil Rights.

ElectionJournal.org, run by Mike Roman, is anti-ACORN, and one of its slogans is, “Kick voter fraud in the nuts!”
