Guess who’s fingerprints are all over the pending theft of the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota?

George Soros and ACORN — the Association of Corrupted Organizations Registering Non-voters. Gee, what a surprise.

Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, who orchestrated the recount that gave Democratic challenger Al Franken a lead some six weeks after incumbent GOP Sen. Norm Coleman appeared to win by 725 votes on Election Day, has extensive ties to both the ACORN organization now under federal investigation for vote fraud, and to MoveOn.org ultra-liberal kingmaker George Soros.

In 2006, ACORN endorsed Ritchie in his bid to become secretary of state, and Ritchie also received a campaign contribution that year from Soros.

Indeed, Ritchie has credited his own political career in large part to an obscure, Soros-funded group called the Secretary of State Project (SoS), whose express purpose is to seed state election bureaucracies nationwide with partisan activists — Ritchie among them — who are strategically positioned to influence the outcome of close recounts like the one now underway in Minnesota.

The SoS Web site lauds Ritchie as “arguably the most progressive secretary of state in America,” and states: “Thanks to SoS Project donors, Minnesota’s Mark Ritchie – a true champion for Democracy – was able to defeat a two-term incumbent Republican by less than 5 points. We helped close the gap and make the difference with cable television ads targeting women and seniors.”

Nor does Ritchie downplay the role of the Soros-funded nonprofit in his own election win.

“I want to thank the Secretary of State Project and its thousands of grassroots donors for helping push my campaign over the top,” he states on the partisan political site.

This is the same process the Democrats used to steal the gubernatorial election in the state of Washington in 2004. Count, recount, recount. Discovery of ballots, all in favor of the Democrat candidate with no ballot security. Corrections in heavily Democrat precincts well outside of the statistical norm, all explained away as a “mistake.”

To quote Ann Coulter:

The vote-theft most like Minnesota this year was the infamous 2004 gubernatorial election in Washington State. The Republican won the race on election night, but ballots favoring the Democrat kept being “discovered” until the Democrat finally eked out a majority. At that point, the recount was immediately halted and the Democrat declared the victor.

You would have to go back to Reconstruction to find an election that was stolen by the Republicans this way, but it’s all in a day’s work for the Democrats.

That’s why they were so testy about the 2000 Florida election. It was the one time in the last century Republicans wouldn’t let Democrats steal an election they lost by less than a thousand votes.

By the way, this is what will happen here. Today, the Minnesota state Supreme Court allowed the counting of duplicate ballots, no doubt all for Al Franken, and pretty much opened the door all the way for the Democrats to get every vote they need to take the seat.

Again, as I have said previously, I want every legal vote counted once and only once. Clearly the Minnesota state Supreme Court doesn’t care if someone is allowed to vote multiple times.

My guess this is headed to federal courts, where it’s anyone’s guess as to what happens.

Don’t forget: Dingy Harry can refuse to seat Norm Coleman should he prevail in the courts. Senate Democrats can simple declare Franken the winner and award him the seat.

If voters don’t demand the restoration of integrity to the voting process, we can look forward to more of these three-ring circuses.

How can we restore integrity?

1. Eliminate same day voter registration. Make voters register to vote a minimum of 30 days prior to an election.
2. Require photo ID for all voters. Make every voter prove he or she is who they say they are. We’re required to show photo ID to rent DVDs, cash checks, even buy cold medicine and certain car maintenance products. Why is voting less important that those procedures?
3. Eliminate motor voter registration and all provisional ballots.

All of these have fueled voter fraud across the country. And anyone who doesn’t support these basic changes supports the idea of voter fraud because their candidates — Democrats — benefit from it.

Maybe the Republicans should figure out a way to practice voter fraud to get the Democrat supporters on board.
