Stop Ballot Fraud
Exposing the deceptive tactics behind the country’s most suspect ballot initiatives.
National Ballot Access
Reports from a number of states indicate that Ward Connerly's paid signature gatherer, Edee Baggett, is up to her old tricks. In a manner eerily similar to what was witnessed in Michigan during the 2006 cycle, complaints are already being filed alleging that voters have been tricked by National Ballot Access into signing Connerly's so-called "civil rights initiative."
National Voter Outreach
With rampant cases of fraud and forgery throughout the years leading to investigations, lawsuits and disqualifications, this firm has been a leader in cultivating deceptive signature gathering practices.
Howie Rich
Howie Rich's 2006 effort to put his three-headed monster-Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), pay-or-waive schemes, and judicial attacks-on the ballot was anything but pretty.
Paul Jacob
In 2007 a multi-county grand jury in Oklahoma indicted Jacob and two others for their involvement in the 2005 petition drive to put the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) initiative on the ballot.
Ward Connerly
Ward Connerly, who's leading the charge to eliminate affirmative action programs, has allegedly been paid millions of dollars by lucrative contracting firms who stand to benefit directly from these civil rights rollbacks.
JSM Inc.
JSM Inc, a signature gathering firm based in Florida, used deception and forgery in multiple states to qualify Ralph Nader for the ballot in 2004, and is frequently hired as a subcontractor by Arno Political Consultants and National Voter Outreach.
Arno Political Consultants
Arno is known as one of the largest and most successful signature gathering firms in the country. Despite their impressive client list and years of experience, Arno is also known for something else: illegalities in their signature gathering practices.
