Voter Fraud Does Exist
To those who say voter ID laws are completely unnecessary and that there's no such thing as voter fraud, it would seem that it does exist after all. According to The Express Times, NorCo detectives have charged an elderly man with doing just that in two different states in the 2012 election.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Was he a D or R?
ReplyDeleteThat I do not know, but suspect he is a D. I will find out this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteOh, so R's don't lie, cheat or steal?
ReplyDeleteHow would voter ID prevent someone from registering in another state?
ReplyDeleteHe's an R
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. I just confirmed that with the elections office.
ReplyDeleteVoter ID would not have caught this. He was using absentee ballots.
ReplyDeleteBut our voter registration office caught it. Cud is to them and the entire staff
ReplyDeleteKudos*
ReplyDeletePoint very well made. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteWow, I must have missed the trial and sentencing. Voter ID would not have prevented this.
ReplyDelete"Voter ID would not have caught this. He was using absentee ballots"
ReplyDeletePiker. We Dems do it right!
This one guy [proves the point. We need massive laws to prevent this. Uniformed officers at every poll saying,
ReplyDelete"Pares, PAPERS!"
A handful of cases does not a vast conspiracy make. It isn't surprising there is a case here or there. This guy was caught without a new law, right?
ReplyDeleteYou know darned well the only reason R's want voter ID is to knock a bunch of valid living voters out, even though their signature is good enough to identify them to the election officials
Ridiculous to consider this rampant practice.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, Voter Fraud, if convicted has stronger penalties than some rape cases. That's why you don't see it happening as often as you would think. Fun fact: A cursory google search at who is caught and convicted of voter fraud are poll workers.
ReplyDeleteShit. I'm a poll worker.
ReplyDeleteVoting fraud takes place at every polling place in America. This is why the Democratic Party and Obama are fighting photo Voting laws.
ReplyDeleteOK 10:07, put down the remote and step away from the Hannity.
