St. Louis Probes Black Vote Fraud

Friday, Feb. 23, 2001
A grand jury is investigating a fraudulent Democratic get-out-the-black-vote effort reportedly cooked up in a St. Louis fast-food restaurant.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

A warrant has been issued to search the offices there of Operation Big Vote, promoted by Democrats.

It was part of a national campaign by the National Coalition on Black Voter Participation to register more black voters and get them to vote in the November election last year.

The target of this investigation is the office manager, Nona Montgomery, accused of hiring about 30 workers to do fraudulent voter-registration canvassing.

They were supposed to have canvassed black neighborhoods and recorded names of potential voters to be contacted later to vote in the Nov. 7 election. And they were paid by the number of cards they filled out.

Instead of knocking on doors, however, they sat down at a fast-food restaurant and wrote out names and information from an outdated voter list.

No information has been released on whether the Democratic Party then attempted to use those names as valid voters in the casting of any illegal votes.
