The Hammond Report

(Shameless Self Promotion Alert!)  On November 3, 2006, I wrote a post titled Hundreds Show up For Tester Rally (Schweitzer Encourages Voter Fraud) While Thousands Show up For Burns and made the following statement...

Montana Democrats must be feeling a bit desperate as Gov Schweitzer encouraged the «huge» crowd to «vote early and vote often». Publicly encouraging voter fraud is pretty bold. I am hoping the Missoulian and The Missoula Independent investigates this.

And predictably, I was criticized and mocked by the left for making the accusation...

What, the President is a draw?

Joking about voting often is now a crime?

Honestly, Andy, this is quite possibly the most ridiculous blog post I've read about this election to date.

How can this be a ridiculous post? It's ridiculous that you think it's ridiculous.

Fact: President Bush drew 5000 fired up people for Burns.

Fact: Schweitzer and Bachus drew 300 for Tester.

Fact: Schweitzer encouraged people to «vote early and vote often». Perhaps he was joking like Kerry was joking... wink, wink.

I sense a little panic from you.

I think your post on GOP low income disinfranchising seems a bit paranoid. How can requiring a legal valid ID be disinfranchising? It prevents voter fraud such as «vote early and vote often».

That's not panic. It's incredulity at your ridiculousness.

Wow Hammond...nice work on the analysis here.

Matt is 100% correct, however, it is my pleasure to point out that while you are getting all hyper about the 5000 in Billings, the GOP expected twice that number. Nice turnout!

Looks like I was right about Schweitzer's willingness to commit election fraud almost two years ago.

Not bad for an idiot, eh Matt, Wulfgar, Colby, Jason, and the rest??
