    I addressed it directly for what it was a canard. Now address my rebuttal of that canard in msg #13.

    Then it is a meaningless "point." Plus, this is from the OP: "But voter fraud is not an issue? I wonder if any race(s) was affected."

    Post #13 rebutted nothing of what I said. I repeat (and you will again dodge):1,000 people across 100 counties? No, it isn't likely that this swayed any election.

    Also, here's a hint: where are you getting your assumption that all 1,000 of these people voted the same way?

    Florida 2000, 538 would have been enough votes.

    Hardly...not every drunk driver kills someone, or damages property, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't prosecute them all

    The point is that it could very well happen....and if this much is happening, there is likely much more not getting caught.....

    So your evidence is one state from one election, it wasn't even the same kind of election, and it is still based on the unsubstantiated assumption that these 1,000 people all voted the same way?

    It directly disproved it takes mass voting fraud. ONE ...........repeat ONE fraudulent vote could have decided which party controlled the Virginia statehouse.

    So stop with the canard.

    Fake response. We should prosecute all voter fraud cases. No one ever suggested otherwise.

    No really. Voter fraud is pretty easy to catch.

    You said 1000 fraudulent could never change the outcome of a presidential election. That is patently and demonstrable false.

    So stop with the canards.

    The only "canard" here is your own. You keep cherry picking unrelated elections in the most extreme of cases and ignoring the facts.

    I said 1,000 votes in 100 counties would not sway the election in question. I stand by it. And, once gain, you make the unsubstantiated assumption that all of the false votes went the same direction. No one is dumb enough to believe that.

    You seem to be taking the stance that it's not a big deal since nobody can show that it might have impacted an election

    Really? You have a lot of experience investigating it? Do tell.

    I didn't say it wasn't a "big deal" or that it shouldn't be prosecuted. I said there is no evidence that it impacted the election. I don't know how to make that any simpler. We shouldn't avoid prosecuting a crime just because the crime wasn't successful or didn't have a big impact. I'm not sure what you think is controversial about that. Do tell.

    Ok, well if it did, is not relevant to the discussion

    The fact that it does exist is what's relevant....and we should not make it easier to do....as the Dems have been trying to do this year

    That's the bar you guys have lowered things to? I have yet to meet a dem who LITERALLY claims that NO VOTER FRAUD has EVER been committed in the US . . . especially since we have proven (though mostly republican) cases. The point is that it is not significant when it comes to the outcome of the elections. Every proposed republican measure would do much more to prevent legal voting than it would to reduce illegal voting.

    Mostly GOP cases? Care to show this?

    You have no idea if it's had an impact on elections or not...you'd have to review every single election....and doubt you are. The point is, it happens...regularly....we have cases yearly.....so how many times hasn't been caught? We should not make things easier for it to happen...elections are far to important. Not sure what measures would prevent legal voting.....

    Cutting back on mail-in voting, for one, would hobble legal voting during a pandemic. Most documented cases I've seen of coordinated, partisan voter fraud have been from the GOP side. I can dig up the sources for you. And, no, there is no evidence that it is common or widespread. Surely you know this.

    They haven't cut back on absentee voting.
    THen you can cite the cases....I'll wait.....

    Sure there is evidence it's common...there are literally cases every year....this is the third case I have heard of it just mere months....NYC, NJ, and now GA....

    They are only fighting against its expansion as much as they can. During a pandemic.

    https://lasvegassun.com/news/2020/jul/16/cries-of-voter-fraud-should-be-aimed-at-those-comm/

    Fake news. There is no evidence that is in any way common.

    "Cases every year" would not prove it is common. There are cases of death by livestock every year. Death by livestock is still uncommon. There are cases of death by bee sting every year. Death by bee sting is still uncommon. There are cases of death by shark bite every year. It is still uncommon. There are cases of death by lighting strike every year. It is still uncommon. Therea are cases of death by lawnmower every year. It is still uncommon. There are cases of death by hard candy every year. It is still uncommon. There are cases of death by balloon inhalation every year. It is still uncommon. Do I really need to explain this further?

    What is "common" and what you "have heard of" are not the same thing. I've heard of several cases of people being injured by sword wound over the past few months. It still isn't common. It is just that I'm in fencing and am more likely to hear about those stories.

    I love how some claim there is no evidence mail in is fraudulent

    @Kode


    Undoubtedly this happens more often than what we are catching.

    looks like Trump has been objectively proven right again.
