There is an article in the Washington Post in which analysis of over 2,000 voter fraud cases since 2000 resulted in a total of 10 voter impersonations. Ten.
That is one case of voter impersonation for every 15 million voters.
Yes, we must spend the time and money and effort to stop these 10 fraudulent voters every 12 years.
What a joke. It is voter suppression period. The righties know they cannot win fairly.

Well as one guy explained to me on the golf course the other day. The deaths of Osama bin Laden and Gaddafi have been verified because they names showed up on the Chicago Democratic Voter Registar and the names were signed and cross verified by Earnest Hemingway and Pearl S Buck

but please answer the question....is it ok with you to do nothing about voter fraud?

Hope you had a good guffaw about that. Not funny to me.

how does one go about with that philosophy deciding when it is ok to be illegal or not?

Right or wrong is much easier to deal with. If voter fraud is wrong then it should be eliminated. If it is such a trivial issue for some then why all the hoopla against doing what is right.

Ya can't have a selective system on right and wrong.

The only reason that these conservatives keep yapping and yapping about "Voter Fraud" is so they can make a case for their own version of voter intimidation. Put enough obstacles in the pathway and hope for a very low voter turnout.

It worked for them in Jim Crow days so they are trying again when they are so desparate for votes.

No, it is not ok to do nothing. But the solution to a problem of excess ability of 10 people voting should not be to develop a "solution" which may well deny MILLIONS of legitimate registered American citizens of their vote. And we all know the demographic of those citizens who are most likely to be unable to vote because of the new regulations which have been put into play always by Republican officials.

"...which may well deny MILLIONS of legitimate registered American citizens of their vote..."

This is always the stock answer to getting rid of voter fraud.

If they are legitimate registered then how could they be denied their right to vote.

Why is the argument to deny certain demographics...that must be the party line.

Do you really believe there is a objective to deny certain demographics? Do you really believe any organization would expose themselves to such ridicule for 10 fraudulent voters? Really? Please explain why you think that is the case. Really in your own words not some trite, parrot, knee jerk partisan response.

If the dems knew for one second they could lose due to fraudulent voter registration we all know what the position would be would we not.

Very Nancy Pelosi like philosophy....she is the one who touts she is against what ever the opposition proposes. No thinking, no guts, no need to stand and be counted to do what is right. Voter fraud being only one of many issues shut down for partisan arbitrary positioning.

All the hoopla is brought out by conservatives. Historically, conservatives do better when voter turnout is low. Hence, if you can suppress voters turnout is therefore low and good for conservatives. Not really hard to see what is going on. Fake outrage about a non-existant problem for political gain. 'Nuff said.

non existent voter fraud is akin to stating the only speeders on the road are the one's ticketed!!!

If they are legitimate registered voters how does enforcing the registration laws/rules cause them to stay home?

so why don't we get a 'solution' [to the voter fraud problem that is known to exist] offered by the democrats other than the 'solution' to do nothing?

it seems they want me to believe that if the problem is not discussed, then it does not exist; and, therefore, does not need to be resolved.

we all know that unless and until a substance abuser admits that they have a problem, in their opinion they don't have a problem.

what is your alternative?

The only voter fraud that's been mentioned in the newspapers in Florida are snowbirds voting in more than one state and Canadiens voting in south Florida. They should all be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which is five years in prison and a $5000 fine.

Voting by mail in Florida does not require a photo ID. When I'm out registering voters everyday and making sure they have the proper photo ID, I just automatically request a mail-in ballot for them. It couldn't be easier to fill the ballot out in the privacy of your home and put a stamp on and mail it...no lines, no waiting, no effort whatsoever.
