Bond’s fight against vote fraud was born in the chaos surrounding St. Louis’ handling of the November 7, 2000 election. Among the more bizarre and fraudulent events that marred election day there included a dead man who filed suit to keep the polls open late because he feared long lines would prevent him from voting. His identity was later switched to that of a partisan political operative for a Congressional candidate – even though evidence shows he already voted earlier that day. The St. Louis lawsuit was mirrored by an identical pleading filed in Kansas City 14 minutes earlier on election day and, interestingly, both lawsuits listed the Missouri Democrat Party and Gore-Lieberman 2000 as co-plaintiffs. A post-election review of the entire mess by Missouri Secretary of State Matt Blunt found more than 1,200 illegal ballots were cast and counted in St. Louis City and County, including votes cast by 14 dead people. Further confirming evidence of vote fraud, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce recently handed down a 17-count indictment against three individuals charging them with vote fraud.
