Andrew Spieles

Just yesterday we wrote about an FBI investigation into potential voter fraud in the critical swing state of Virginia after it was revealed that 19 dead people had recently been re-registered to vote (see "FBI Investigating More Dead People Voting In The Key Swing State Of Virginia"). While the Washington Post caught wind of the investigation, it was not known who was behind the operation...until now.

Meet, Andrew Spieles, a student at James Madison University, and apparently "Lead Organizer" for HarrisonburgVOTES. According to the Daily News-Record, Spieles confessed to re-registering 19 deceased Virginians to vote in the 2016 election cycle.

While this should come as a surprise to precisely 0 people, Spieles just happens to be Democrat who, accorded to a deleted FaceBook post, apparently recently ran for Caucus Chair of the Virginia Young Democrats.

It's too bad really, sounds like Spieles had all the right "special talents" required to be very successful politician...he just forgot the most important first rule: "Don't get caught."

The 19 applications of deceased citizens were submitted by Spieles through an organization called HarrisonburgVOTES. According to the organization's "About Us" page, HarrisonburgVOTES is a "non-partisan" voter registration organization in Harrisonburg, VA and the surrounding areas.

As the HarrisonburgVOTES webpage points out, the sole goal of the organization is to raise the number of registered voters in Harrisonburg to 25,000...though it's unclear what percentage of that goal was intended to be filled by dead voters.

The sole goal of HarrisonburgVOTES is to increase the number of registered voters in Harrisonburg and the surrounding areas to increase and encourage civic engagement.

Harrisonburg has the lowest percentage of voting age population (VAP) registered to vote among Virginia localities. Very roughly, about 17,000 people are registered to vote and about 18,000 are voting age and not registered. The goal of HarrisonburgVOTES will be to overcome these issues and raise the number of registered voters to 25,000.

HarrisonburgVOTES was founded by Joseph Fitzgerald who, "shockingly", is also a prominent democrat in Harrisonburg. Fitzgerald is currently Chairman of the Sixth Congressional District Democratic Committee in Virginia and the former Mayor of Harrisonburg.
Fitzgerald told reporters, of course, that his organization had no knowledge of Spieles's actions and fired him immediately after his confession.

"He's smart, and he understands the [political] process," Fitzgerald told the Daily News-Record of Spieles. "Who the hell knows what his motivations were?"

While we agree it's difficult to be 100% sure about anyone's motivations, we would be willing to put money on it having something to do with registering a bunch of dead people and then having them all vote for Hillary in November....just a hunch.

liberals,,,,will do anything to keep our money,and power over us ....this is a

very small sample of what they have always done.......

And Dems will continue to swear there is no voter fraud and challenge the voter ID laws

Hmm. Well, even if true, I rather doubt any of them will show up to vote, so no worries.

so, then why did he register 19 dead people then?

and, "if" true? ...

so when can we expect you do your own "research"(simple as google) instead of just following your usual libtard instincts and just arguing about everything?

Never heard of an absentee or mail-in ballot I would guess then?

You aren't thinking this through all the way.


In most cases, the main reason why someone registered fake voters in a situation like this, had nothing to do with ELECTION FRAUD. It had to do with them wanting to commit fraud against the people they were working for.

Whether they were "volunteers" hoping for advancement, or being paid to register people, they were creating fakes in order to advance themselves.

Unless you find someone who is, oh, say, working for the DMV, and they are creating entire fake IDENTITIES, in order to allow people to vote twice, or for people who can't vote, to do so, then you might have something worth crowing about.

This is meaningless idiocy.

maybe some one needs another national cerermony.......and do believe that will be more larger then theat one locating at the washington D.C.......

They should put " I voted stickers" on their cemetery stones.

Yes. Again. Acorn also wasn't about allowing non-citizens or other ineligible people to vote. It was, again about individuals in their organization "padding their stats."

There have been similar games played by Republicans. Voter Caging was a popular trick with them not long ago. That means using tricks to get eligible voters DELETED from the records, to prevent them from voting.

blah, blah, blah... this article is about a liberal who willingly registered dead people to vote, not about what you think repubs did, not about bush, or any other diversive yacking on your part...

OMG,the Dems drunk them,locked them up,and had them vote Democrat!

Okay, you show us when these dead people rise from the grave and vote, and I'll apologize for dismissing your panic.
