Maryland Dem Drops Out of Congressional Race Amid Allegations She Voted in Two States

Maryland Democrat Wendy Rosen Drops Out of Congressional Race Amid Voter Fraud Allegations

Wendy Rosen (source: wendyrosen.com)

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (TheBlaze/AP) — A Maryland Democrat has dropped out of a congressional race after the state party said she cast ballots there and in Florida in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Wendy Rosen, 57-year-old Miami native who now lives in Cockeysville, was set to run in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District against first-term Republican Rep. Andy Harris.

In a letter to the state’s attorney general and the state prosecutor, the chair of the Maryland Democratic Party wrote that Rosen voted in the 2006 general election in both Florida and Maryland. Yvette Lewis also wrote that Rosen voted in the 2008 presidential primaries in both states.

“The Maryland Democratic Party has discovered that Ms. Rosen has been registered to vote in both Florida and Maryland since at least 2006; that she in fact voted in the 2006 general election both in Florida and Maryland; and that she voted in the presidential preference primaries held in both Florida and Maryland in 2008,” Lewis wrote. “This information is based on an examination of the voter files from both states. We believe that this is a clear violation of Maryland law and urge the appropriate office to conduct a full investigation.”

Authorities would neither confirm nor deny whether they were investigating. Rosen confirmed she was dropping out of the race but declined to comment further on the matter. Rosen was endorsed by the AFL-CIO in late August.

Now, local Democrats in Maryland’s 1st district will have to vote on a new candidate to replace Rosen by Sept. 27.

Rosen, as recently as Sunday, seemingly believed she would be staying in the race for the long haul.

“My trip to Charlotte was incredible!” she wrote on her Facebook page. “I didn’t get a moment on the floor of the arena … I spent all of my time hunting for campaign support! Everyone was so helpful from Jan Schakowsky and Ben Cardin to all of the women’s groups, environmental groups, jewish organizations. I feel re-energized for this last 8 weeks! Forward, not Backward!”

She voted two different elections in two different states. Her parents and children must be so ashamed.

  Why would Dems be ashamed…this is part of the plan! She was just too stupid and got caught. This will be rampant in Florida and other swing states. I would bet that at least 10% of the Dem votes cast in the next election are fraudulent! That is why ALL conservative need to get off their rears and vote…it may not count as a whole vote due to Dem tactics, that’s why we need as many as possible.

  Calm down everybody it’s not a big deal.
  
  She said she couldn’t remember voting in both states- twice. ’06 and’08. Flying back and forth during election season is taxing on the liberal brain.We have to take her word for it. She was just standing up for the little guy in those elections.
  
  This is why we need to get everybody we can to the polls.

  Now we know why the dimbocraps want to do away with voter ID laws. She would never have been caught without the ID laws. Nothing like a POS POTUS rigging, or trying to rig the election with the help of Holderon and the DOJ. I am certain this is the smallest tip of the immense iceberg of fraud and corruption that the dimbocraps have thrust upon the not so vigilant American public.
  The only way for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

  Don’t worry a new ACORN will step and cover her! If word gets out for all Democrats to vote twice we may have a new record for total votes this November.As a registered Democrat a month ago I got a list thru the mail telling me all the states that do not require a photo ID or don’t ask for one. They didn’t want to discriminate against anyone. I noticed recently that our bank discriminates aginst any one that doesn’t have a account there. There are notices all over that state they will only cash government checks up to $1,000.00 for non members with a photo ID. No photo ID no cashed checks. I assume those folks with no photo ID are the ones lined up at the post office at the first and middle of the month.

  HAVE
  EVER
  LIVED
  have been blessed enough to LIVE IN AMERICA…FIVE PERCENT…a tiny tiny number .
  
  I go along with GLENN. WE are not here at this time, in this place as an accident. I want us to DIGEST that information. TO ME this means that for this TINY bit of time, we need to fight like blue-bloody Hell for our Country. THIS IS NOT A TIME TO SIT back and “be entertained” by the “goings on” or be shut up by trolls (paid by Soros; White House; Muslims CAIR; Labor Unions; Commies – you name it) They almost got away with it…the total TAKE OVER of our nation, our government, our industry, our military…it was almost complete in March of 2009 and then ALONG CAME GLENN (And Stu and Pat, and all the rest we’ve seen on GLENN’S SHOW and the Writers, the Outspoken Thinkers of the day)…and suddenly there was a TEA PARTY and 9/12ers and a MASSIVE march on DC (two of them) & American’s knew that there is a THEM and there is an US.
  SO pick where you are best equipped .is it finding facts? Tweeting people? CONNECTING THE DOTS? Thinking outside the BOX? We have 55 days 2 save this country. GET BEHIND MITT ROMNEY. A real man, a GENTLEMAN, A PATRIOT…a Decent MAN…I’m going out on a LIMB & I’m going 2 say that MITT ROMNEY is our next GEO

  STAND UP; SPEAK UP; SHARE information with all who will listen. THEN locally, call your GOP offices or whomever is going to support ROMNEY. POLL WATCH? What can we do?? LAWN sign?
  Some places are SO HOSTILE that it’s dangerous to do that…but make sure you stay out there with your voice, your comments, and watch…learn. BUY the CD’s OF 2016 and send them to people who need to watch and send them on. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST. GO GET WITH GOD. GET WITH GOD first.

  Little Red Hen 2012
  
  “Who will help me plant my wheat?” asked the little red hen.
  
  “Not I,” said the cow.
  
  “Not I,” said the duck.
  
  “Not I,” said the pig.
  
  “Not I,” said the goose.
  
  “Then I will do it by myself.” She planted her crop and the wheat grew
  and ripened.
  
  “Who will help me reap my wheat?” asked the little red hen.
  
  “Not I,” said the duck.
  
  “Out of my classification,” said the pig.
  
  “I’d lose my seniority,” said the cow.
  
  “I’d lose my unemployment compensation,” said the goose.
  
  “Then I will do it by myself,” said the little red hen, and so she did.
  
  “Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the little red hen.
  
  “That would be overtime for me,” said the cow.
  
  “I’d lose my welfare benefits,” said the duck.
  
  “I’m a dropout and never learned how,” said the pig.
  
  “If I’m to be the only helper, that’s discrimination,” said the goose.
  
  “Then I will do it by myself,” said the little red hen.
  
  She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see.
  They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share, but the little red hen
  said, “No, I shall eat all five loaves.”
  
  “Excess profits!” cried the cow.. (Nancy Pelosi)
  
  “Capitalist leech!” screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
  
  “I demand equal rights!” yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)

  There was one time I was registered in 2 states. I had just retired and changed my residency to my current state. I received an absentee ballot from my former state and one from my current state. I shredded the old states ballot. And I did receive a letter from both states AG’s office asking which state I voted in. So, with this case, how can you be that high profile and vote in two states…….Oh, she’s a Dem. that’s why, I was a registered Republican.

I can vote in most states. I can register by mail, vote by mail and no one will have checked my ID. and since I am not running for any office why would anyone check on me, and if they do and there is no penalty I win.

So, this Dem is the voter fraud smoking gun. She is proof positive there is voter fraud, now let’s start with voter ID and continue with perhaps a voter id to be used in all states. I would imagine there are more than a few college students that also vote both at school and in their residence (home state) by absentee ballot

  True Story. Back in the 90′s my Grand-Dad remarried to a Dem. who worked at the polls. He wouldn’t switch to her district because he didn’t trust her. After the ’96 election, she bragged about a man coming in and saying he didn’t know how to vote, so she could just fill it out for him, so she did. Proud Democrat!
