    Right...

    10-20 cases totaling MAYBE 40-50 votes out of something like 150,000,000.

    Big (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hairy deal.

    I highly doubt she has any type of money to pay a large monetary fine, and she already has cheated the voting system once...broke laws. Why would you assume she wouldnt break the law again ? lol?

    A compromised election is a compromised election. If you're happy with accepting percentages of a clean election...well that's on you.

    Once it's certified that's it. We can only look ahead by requiring voter ID when you vote and when you pick up your absentee ballot which then automatically removes your name for the polling place voting.

    The same people who used to tell us it didn't happen at all when tougher voting measures were a hot discussion....are now claiming it's only a small percent, no big deal.

    Who knows what the percentage really is.

    Wouldn't dobut if she has no money to pay a fine and "community service" is her day job.

    Why not a year in jail and lose your right to vote and never be allowed to work a polling place. Let's really make sure we end this practice.

    Which is why when we find it we need to come down hard so the risk is not worth the reward.

    Even with IDs, there will NEVER be a 100% clean election. Apparently, you're willing to make it much more difficult for 10s of MILLIONS of voters just to stop a statistically insignificant amount of voter fraud.

    For a group that is always clamoring on about "freedom," the very TOP of the FREEDOM HEAP should be the right to vote. Unfortunately instead, the right-wing resorts to the tactics of fascism to suppress what they know is a tide that has turned against their regressive and destructive agenda.

    You're just making (*)(*)(*)(*) up.

    There are not 10's of millions of voters who would be unfavorably impacted by ID's. This is a madeup argument, just like your "statistically insignificant" comment. You have 0 idea how many people cast fraudulent ballots, as not all of them were as stupid as this person was to speak about it.

    Also...there is no explicit "right to vote" at all. Perhaps if you started by correcting your mindset here first, the rest would fall into place.

    No, I'm not just making (*)(*)(*)(*) up. The right-wing voter suppression tactics were well-documented in the last election. Republican governors deliberately limiting early voting in Democrat-heavy areas, long polling lines... it's all there. An anti-democratic agenda to limit voting and actually lower voter turnout.

    It's one of the hallmarks of facism that is being demonstrated by the desperate right-wing.

    Lol, more of the right-wing's lame and pathetic attempts to push that the election was dirty.


    It's kind of funny because even with all the Republican voter suppression efforts going on, THEY STILL LOST THE POPULAR VOTES IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS and the PRESIDENCY!

    So my guess is that they will only get more desperate, and to a voter population who is already sick and tired of the tactics of the Republicans, that is the arsenic in the cake.

    Keep up the great job, right-wingers! Your time has ran out and your backwards facing agenda is losing its legs as your anti-American ideology is being dragged kicking and screaming out into the light of scrutiny!

    And Democrat voter fraud is well documented with this thread for example.

    The 20% demographic of progressives need all the help they can get. Voter fraud, blatant vote buying, and cultivating hordes of hapless, helpless, useful idiot "victims" (of greedy and selfish right-winger's awful capitalism, and antiquated, "regressive" morals and ethics ;) ) are how they plump up their numbers.

    It's really no more complicated than that.

    Even with security cameras in banks and guards there will always be bank robberies......................so what is your point?

    You have no idea how much goes on but apparently you are willing to let disfranchisement occur instead of having people do the right thing and identify themselves when they vote.

    Yes just like a right to keep and bear arms for which you have to identify yourself, apply for permits and go through background checks...................so what is your point? You oppose such measures for the right to keep and bear arms? Freedom also means insuring our elections are honest and no one is voting illegally which disfranchises other voters taking away their vote.

    How exactly is voter ID fascism? I thought using government money to and power to direct private industry and business was fascism.

    And they hyperbole used to protect the ability to cast illegal votes is so transparent.

    As former Rep. Autur Davis (whom I voted for in the primary for our governor and was fully supporting) said

    "“What I have seen in my state, in my region, is the the most aggressive practitioners of voter-fraud are local machines who are tied lock, stock and barrel to the special interests in their communities — the landfills, the casino operators — and they’re cooking the [ballot] boxes on election day, they’re manufacturing absentee ballots, they’re voting [in the names of] people named Donald Duck, because they want to control politics and thwart progress,” he told TheDC.

    “People who are progressives have no business defending those individuals.”

    Wow, a couple of cases. OH NO!!!

    Again, we're comparing a problem that MAY affect .001% of the votes.

    Keep trying to make mountains out of molehills. We know the true intent. Won't be long before you good ol' boys start trying to reinstate poll taxes.

    I really do not understand the argument that requiring ID would put a burden on a number of voters. The claim is that there are 10s of millions of voters without ID and it would place a burden on them to get ID. That stance just does not make sense. In today's age of ID theft, people are asked for their ID in a number of daily situations. I would bet I get asked for my ID at least 3 times a week. Even if I did not have a driver's licence, I could still go to my local DMV and get a valid ID card for $10. If the $10 is too high a price for the poor to pay, then the government should waive the fee.....and a lot of States do just that.

    It does not matter if there is one case of voter fraud an election, or a million cases of voter fraud each election. The people that are committing the fraud are robbing you and I....no matter which side of the political fence a person is on. Us valid voters should be outraged at those that commit voter fraud and should support ANY reasonable means to prevent it. Today, it might benefit your political side that voter fraud exists, tomorrow, it might benefit the other side. Either way, it is imperative that our elections are as true and honest as they can possibly be. Not only does it make a difference who is placed in office, it also matters on the global level. The US will lose a lot of international respect if there is even a suspicion of voter fraud taking place.

    Republican officials, who have used hysteria about alleged voter fraud as an excuse to support measures that disproportionately block Democratic voters, are furiously trying to distance themselves from a growing number of GOP voter registration drives that either submitted false applications or threw away authentic ones.

    Get a grip on the reality of voter fraud.

    Does requiring an ID block you from owning a gun, you know your constitutional right to keep and bear one, too? Is requiring one going to disproportionately block the poor from exercising their right to own a gun? How about renting a motel room, the civil rights era was born in part on the premise that the rights of blacks to rent motel and hotel rooms while traveling violated their civil rights.
