Damn judges believing in people having the right to vote.

“Its all a conspiracy by the multiculturalists to thin our whiteness from its prime place as the top of the heap in this country and eventually the world!” Said a caller going by the moniker Aryan Knight. He has called numerous times sometimes under that name or others from Confederate Elvis to Shark88 and Quick Kill. After awhile you get use to it.

“No actual record”?

Someone hasn’t been reading/watching the news in California and Colorado because the dead have been voting in those places for years, and that’s just recent news.

Only the crackpots Ever believed that there has been voter fraud…

Data on voter fraud can be found at the Brennan Center website.

OK, we have this guy’s address, and his signature and FULL name.And this guy’s address, and likewise. So go pick ‘em up. That’s serious time in the slammer! Oh, they DON’T match? Never mind!

drklassen, that"silly" dead voting meme you were talking about has people in CA and CO voting in elections years after they are dead. That is not accidental. Also, enjoy this story. http://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/article_e008ce00-0365-57a2-95c0-4d9aa70012f9.htmlCommon sense laws such as voter’s being required to produce a photo ID can eliminate much of the voter fraud that does exist. The only people I know who object are people who would rather have an election tainted.

When a party comes to power and claims that voter fraud is going on, have they explained how they came to power.

Having a photo on a voter registration card might eliminate some of this foolishness. But, wait! What about the possibility of one of a pair of identical twins voting twice!

It’s just a coincidence that the specific photo ID allowed under all these new laws always happens to be the kind that poorer voters in cities won’t be as likely to have.

Call the state of Washington!

Of course there’s no record! Too many state don’t require ID, thanks to liberal efforts. That means there is NOTHING to keep people from voting multiple times, with NO RECORD! You’ll never convince me that wasn’t intentional. The liberals know the conservatives are much less likely to cheat.

Welcome back Jimmy Crow!! Great character…

Bullcrap on voter fraud. I’ve trained and worked as a poll monitor and know for fact that the only fraud at polls is that which is bent on preventing legal voters from voting

Live voter fraud is almost unknown. Dead voter fraud used to be common (ask the Kennedy family how JFK won Illinois in 1960). Boxes of ballots already filled out, tho, not going to the polls and voting using someone else’s ID.

Some commenters are talking about dead voters and such. While there are no doubt quite a few people who have not gotten removed from the voter rolls despite having died, since they aren’t actually going to vote, that doesn’t really matter. If someone tries to vote in their name, then it would, but that rarely happens. There was the recent case in the news of dead people being registered to vote, but since it was found out, no actual harm was done there either. Is it possible that sometimes people get away with it? Sure, but all the evidence indicates that it is extremely rare. As for people being registered to vote in two states, that is not surprising either. People move, and if they register to vote in their new state without having told the old one that they’ve moved, then of course they will be registered in two places. While that may be technically illegal, if they don’t actually try to vote in both, it doesn’t matter. Yes, you can come up with what might seem like an impressively long list of voter fraud cases, if you include every known case in every state for the last ten years. But considering that tens of millions of votes are cast in every national election, all of those cases add up to a drop in the bucket. As other commenters have correctly noted, all unbiased studies have shown that in-person voter fraud – the kind that all those voter ID laws are supposed to prevent – is extremely rare. Not completely non-existent, but extremely rare. A few dozen dead voters and a few cases of people voting in the wrong precinct aren’t going to change the results of a national election. Wrongfully removing tens of thousands of people from the voter rolls, shutting down polling places that serves tens of thousands more, or creating laws that make it difficult or impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to vote, on the other hand, might well change the election results. The Republicans will stop fifty thousand people from voting in order to prevent twenty cases of voter fraud. Or rather, that’s their excuse. In truth they are attacking democracy itself under the false pretense of protecting it.

“More than 24 million voter registrations are invalid, yet remain on the rolls nation-wide.There are over 1.8 million dead voters still eligible on the rolls across the country.More than 2.75 million Americans are registered to vote in more than one state.”

Mmmhmmm, but does that matter if votes are not cast in their names? No. I bet I’m on the voter lists in at least two states, having moved this year, but I’m only going to vote in one. Who thinks to mail their voting board to tell them they’ve moved? Or that their family member has died? And spare me with cases for voting in the wrong precinct. That’s easy to get wrong if you’re new in town, or the precincts are jerrymandered. As long as people are only voting once, I’m less concerned, even in local instances.

The republicans would take a list of known felons and take out every vote with a name that corresponds to the lists, sometimes removing millions of votes of people who were not felons. That is how they won Florida for Bush.

Actually I can remember voter fraud back to the JFK election when the dead of Chicago voted Kennedy in and he carried Illinois.

Great strip this morning GT! The latest thing to hit us from the Trump campaign is that it would now appear that Trump has not paid federal income taxes for DECADES! He has played the rest of us for suckers.

Trump sure was sniffing a lot at the last debate. Is he a coke user? Many people are saying that… *Note to Trump supporters: that coke comment is called innuendo, which is something Trump employs often.

I’m amused when people say “Jim Crow was a Democrat.” In 1968 Richard Nixon used his Southern strategy to change the South to Republican. And at that moment, they really made a Dick move.

So what are small government Republicans going to do about erasing the voting rolls of dead or relocated voters, if they’re now so concerned about it?

It would be extremely difficult to slip a false vote past the British system without being spotted. Afaik we spot about 20 per election – out of a population of over 60 million.

Every election the politicians say that they will represent the citizens and put the interests of the country first.Sounds like voter fraud to me…

There seems to be two schools of thought going on here. There are also two types of voter fraud that are being discussed. The first is the one in support of the cartoonist who declares there are no credible cases of voter fraud. This has been shown to be untrue. One person even said that since it was caught and no harm was done, then what is the problem. Um, that would be the ones that were caught. Some on this thread are saying that even though voter fraud does exist it has not caused any changes in elections. And this is the bar we use? That is like saying that since Tom Brady beat the Colts really bad, the cheating he did (or did not do, whomever you believe) the cheating was OK and there is no need to do anything about it.There are people who are claiming that there is no live voter fraud going on. That may be true, but if you eve watch Project Veritas videos, you see video proof that if someone wanted to vote fraudulently he/she could. If it is easy to do, I tend to believe there are some people who are doing it. Another person said that Republicans only want to use ID’s that are often not owned by people who they do not want to vote. Anyone can pretty much get a photo ID and most states offer free or low cost options. As I see it, there are some who do not care about the integrity of our voter registrations and those who would like to only have people eligible to vote do so.

Where I live (British Columbia, Canada) the current ruling party call themselves “Liberals,” which should mean a left-leaning party. Yet thirty years ago these same people were known as “Social Credit” the most right-wing party in the country. The name can change but the leopard still keeps his spots.

Also, it is certainly not true that ALL democrats supported Jim Crow before 1965. JFK, Hubert Humphrey, and many others did not support Jim Crow and they were DEMOCRATS.

And I supposed the percents that went 120% for Obama with NO republican votes aren’t direct evidence of vote fraud?

DEMOCRATS elected a transformative president in 2008 and are about to elect another one in 2016. So nice to live in the present. It is no longer 1965.

Unfortunately Jim Crow is making a comeback with bogus GOP claims of voter fraud, limiting voting of many groups and disenfranchising millions of voters in the process.

How thoughtless of dead people not to call and say “Taje me off the rolls.”So, it looks like the alt right has web sites full of names now. Wonder how many are real. Just kidding, I really don’t.

You can trust your government.Your government would NEVER lie to you.(not even when Nixon was in office)You can trust your neighbors.Your neighbors would never lie to you or steal from you.(In fact, we don’t even need police or armies or judges, certainly not prisons or laws.).Oh, and please send me all your banking information, not that I would ever misuse it.heh heh heh heh

I’m waiting for the indictments. As a frequent conservative poster likes to say, “Indictments, or it didn’t happen.” I wouldn’t go that far, but when one side is bent on proving something, and they never show any results, I do have to wonder.

Breaking news: President djt has reinstated BIRTHER LINE but for Kamalah Harris. Same lies, good/bad as ever.
