A brilliant conservative orator - serving 25 years in the state Legislature - Jenkins was pitted against far-left challenger Landrieu, in a race for the seat vacated by J. Bennet Johnson (a democrat).
On election day, Jenkins led exit polls all day....51 to 49.
As returns came in, it had held up until 9:45 PM, when suddenly, a surge of votes from New Orleans saw Landrieu edge slightly ahead.
Outside New Orleans, Jenkins won the state, prevailing 53% to 47%; but within New Orleans, Landrieu's incredible 100,000-vote margin was just enough to eek out her razor-thin "victory."
But it was all the work of ACORN, who's fingerprints were everywhere:
Throughout election day, there were countless reports of "irregularities." Jenkins then refused concession - loudly demanding the results be investigated.
Predictably, Democratic election officials began stone-walling - defying a federal court order. They denied access to voter registration applications, and other vital documents.
In New Orleans, examples of the rampant vote fraud were unending:
The local media garnered hundreds of reports from witnesses who were offered money (or alcohol) to vote. Democrats had placed voter punch cards throughout all black churches in Louisiana.
On election day, hundreds of vans and buses cruised New Orleans' public housing projects - soliciting persons to "make some money" by going to the polls, then voting multiple times.
Democrats were paid anywhere from $10 up to $120, for their votes.
Transcripts of conversations with persons selling their votes in New Orleans - and drivers who paid them - revealed a complex network of democratic operatives, who were paid by county commissioners, with access to large amounts of cash.
"This nice person drove up to the bus stop, and asked whether I was registered," one woman said to the lawyers and investigators for Jenkins. "I told him I was, but didn't feel like voting. He said, 'If I paid you, would you go?' I got up from the bus stop bench - dusted off my pants - and got in the car."
The woman, who neither reads nor writes, claimed the man took her to three polling places, where she voted and signed an "X" each time.
That same election day, a 32-year-old mechanic testified he drove a van, "picking up people who proceeded to vote at least ten times, or even more." For his efforts, he received $700.
One woman, who said she voted three times, groused about how much she was paid. "I was supposed to get $75; but all they paid was $25." Added the woman..."they gave me some 'stanky T-shirt' with Landrieu's picture on it."
Throughout that election day, Orleans Parish exit polls showed Jenkins and Landrieu in a virtual deadlock. But at 9:45 PM - almost two hours after the polls had closed - some 70 of New Orleans' 474 precincts had not yet reported their votes.
Outside the city, Jenkins had won by 95,000 votes. Within city limits, however, he was buried by a margin of 100,000.
Over 200 New Orleans city employees had been ordered to campaign for Mayor Marc Morial's "hand-picked candidates" - or be fired. A list of employees was posted in City Hall, directing them to either Clinton or Landrieu headquarters, where they would be given directives.
In certain New Orleans precincts, computer voting-machine tapes had incorrect dates -precincts where Jenkins lost to Landrieu by a margin of NINE to one.
Democratic Election officials swore the machines had not been tampered with.
Jenkins's investigators later uncovered evidence that of the addresses of 3169 registered voters in New Orleans' public housing projects - considered VACANT by the city- 1380 voted illegally in the election.
One unnamed ACORN worker revealed yet more "company secrets”.
- Among "certain demographic groups," voters got not only rides to the polls, but money for "expenses," a free box lunch, plus a list of "those one should vote for."
- Certain “poll watchers” also got paid, who's job it was to "co-ordinate votes" with the same list. Hence, Landrieu won 85% of Orleans - the final parish to be counted.
- There were a significant number of phantom votes cast: the number of votes tallied on voting machines exceeded the number of voter signatures on the precinct register. Also specific names appearing on poll lists were not found on the lists of registered voters.
Not surprisingly, Clinton's Justice Department - under the initiatives of Duval Patrick- made sure that all legal venues sought by Woody Jenkins would mysteriously run into legal "roadblocks."
Even worse, the overwhelmingly republican Congress left Jenkins hanging! They did NOTHING - a tradition which seems to have carried over to this very day.
Now consider the election of 2010 in Nevada; where Senator Harry Reid destroyed Sharron Angle by almost 6 points, when pre-election polls showed a near deadlock.
Or what about Washington state? - where incumbent democrat Patty Murray won by a margin of less than .5 percent.
And would Incumbent Barbara Boxer have turned back Carly Fiorina's US Senate challenge (52-48) without the help of the votes of California's estimated 5 million illegal aliens?
Take away democratic voter fraud and you have a 50-50 even split in the present US Senate; which literally would have changed the course of our nation over the last three years.
Perhaps a balanced budget amendment could have passed. Or opening up ANWAR for drilling. Or even getting the nation's profligate spending under control; thereby rescuing the Republic from possible insolvency.
But nevertheless, a prolific nationwide network of entrenched Democrat poll workers were able to literally change our nation's destiny; not unlike that of a banana republic.
Here's to the democrats; the party of sleaze.
