Voter Fraud Indicator

Post by JohnStOnge »

I read an article by a conservative partisan alleging that there was likely rampant voter fraud in swing States. I know that won't be taken seriously by Obamanatics. But during the course of her editorial she linked this article:

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories ... s-say.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That does not appear to be a particularly partisan source. And I hope we can all agree that what is described is problematic.

It needs to be stopped. Me, I think stopping it would hurt the Democrats. But whether you agree with that or not; surely you agree that it needs to be stopped.

I think every State should go to annual voter registration. If you don't register, you're off the rolls. It's not a whole lot to ask to do that. And if you don't have enough initiative to register to vote...especially with the way the Democrats have seen to it that you can do so whether you're eligible or not...you shouldn't be voting.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I've read several times that the amount of voter fraud cases in Florida during the last election cycle was less than the amount of shark attacks. :coffee:

I don't know about the last election because I didn't read about it but that's certainly not true of the 2000 election. I remember reading a series of Orlando Sentinel articles about it. One quoted a woman who said she voted 10 times for Al Gore. The media recount identified about 5,000 illegal votes of which about 70% were by people who declared as Democrats.

I wish I still had links to those articles but I don't. I bookmarked them but they eventually became obsolete. But the reason I bookmarked them was because of all the crap about Bush stealing the election. No way. There was voter fraud in that election and it worked to Al Gore's favor to the tune of thousands of votes in an election determined by a number in the hundreds.

What about Jeb Bush purging the voter roles of felons...many of which were not...felons?

Let's not forget reducing the hours that the polls are open in an effort to discourage voters. :ohno:
