Voter Fraud-say it aint so!!!!!

[Robalo]

No ID needed, vote as much as ya want. The Dummycrats argue it'll disenfranchise "minorities". They say only 1% is voter fraud.

To me, 1% makes a helluva difference. 1% and the race baiter, LYING BASTAGE, FAST & FURIOUS MURDERER living in the White house when not on his multiple vacations, would be on the street where he belongs.

Here's a nice example from today's Chronicle:

A 54-year-old woman has been accused of casting more than one vote in last year's primary election in Cameron County, federal officials said.

Sonia Leticia Solis, 54, has been charged with voting more than once in connection with the primary runoff election on July 31, 2012. She was arrested Tuesday.

Officials said the indictment alleges Solis lived in Brownsville during the runoff election and cast five votes by absentee ballot in the names of five different people. Authorities did not release what candidate received the votes.

If convicted, Solis faces up to five years in prison and fine up to $10,000 fine.


NOPE NO VOTER FRAUD HERE AND NO REASON FOR I.D. LAWS. EXCUSE ME WHILE I THROW UP.

HOW MANY MS. SOLIS' DO YA THINK THERE REALLY ARE?

WHAT'S YOUR BET THAT SOLIS VOTED DEMOCRAT?

ONLY 1% IS VOTER FRAUD.

HMMMM, AS I RECALL IN THE 2012 POTUS ELECTION, THE RESULT WAS 51% FOR THE POS POTUS AND 49% AGAINST THE POS POTUS, SO WHAT WOULD 1% MEAN-IT'D MEAN THE LYING POS POTUS WOULD LIKELY NOT HAVE BEEN ELECTED.

1% is a huge huge number with as many votes that have been cast in the last 5 years in ALL elections in Texas. If you have proof of that 1% number than there is indeed a problem. My mother is 91 years old with no drivers license and is not able or can afford to get a GOV ID. She has not and will not be voting when she is extremely eligible to vote and wants to. That should be a disgrace and is for me and all Americans. I've worked my precinct and know lots of precinct judges and have seen poll watchers for all groups at the polling places. We pay them to do a job and they do it well with what we give them to work with. America and Americans should want ALL citizens to vote and vote often. ID laws are like poll taxes and intimidation that went on in my early lifetime. I am totally against ID voter laws and Gerrymandering by both parties. The thumb in the India ink that Iraq and Afghanistan use is a better system. We can do better but not by photo ID's and long lines and stopping early voting. By the way, I am a lifetime democrat and always will be and have never ever voted for a republican and never will. So if I'm a dummy I apologize to you for not agreeing with your principles. So glad we all live in America. Greatest country in the world!!!

Hey, What's the problem? And how many precincts in Philadelphia had zero votes for Romney? Hey, no problem here!!

In the Texas primaries a voter votes once when you actually cast your 1st vote. If you attend the precinct primary you vote again. Then its off to the county and district and state and country conventions. So yes, a voter can and will vote more than once or numerous times for their candidate in the primaries. This is where uninformed citizens come up with the idea that a voter is voting more than once for a candidate. Then when the general election comes about you cast one ballot for a candidate of the party they are affiliated too. I vote a "straight" ticket which casts my vote for all the democrats in each election. Republican, Independents, Green voters may do the same. Some are trying to do away with straight ticket voting. But if you follow politics and know that a candidate is influenced by party members the candidate will be controlled by the party members. This keeps him from going rogue and making decisions that the party may not agree with. So someone that votes for the "person" and party jumps is an uninformed voter. There is no problem with voter fraud in this country that swings or sways an election. In spite of the right wanting to disenfranchise voters because their policies and ideas no longer fit into mainstream America and this would keep voters from voting to enable their party to win. Desperation is another name for what the IDers are trying to accomplish.

So, what are you doing to help her get an ID? What are you doing to help get her registered as a voter? She can be driven to the polls and vote without leaving the car. I've curbside voted dozens and dozens of voters.

I'm a precinct judge (and work as the token Republican at Democratic precincts).

The vast majority of voters already use a photo ID at the polls. It's pitiful that less than 20% of eligible voters actually care enough to go to the polls. (vastly from Democratic precincts)

There really is no basis for complaints about voter intimidation, as a result of voter ID.

Then its off to the county and district and state and country conventions. So yes, a voter can and will vote more than once or numerous times for their candidate in the primaries.

The party conventions are attended by representative delegates, not individual voters.

Some are trying to do away with straight ticket voting.

Some? You'll need to back that up with facts and not media opinion.

But if you follow politics and know that a candidate is influenced by party members the candidate will be controlled by the party members. This keeps him from going rogue and making decisions that the party may not agree with.

That's how it's supposed to work.

There is no problem with voter fraud in this country that swings or sways an election.

I'll agree with that, but it is still a problem that requires vigilance.

In spite of the right wanting to disenfranchise voters because their policies and ideas no longer fit into mainstream America and this would keep voters from voting to enable their party to win. Desperation is another name for what the IDers are trying to accomplish.

There are quite a few left wing policies that don't fit mainstream America. Like Obamacare and gay marriage.

Most of these reports of voter fraud come from Democratic enclaves. I would think you would agree that it's better to keep everybody honest.

Touche. Yup, there are some shady Republicans out there that have gotten convicted. Glad they all got caught.

Strike the word Most.

Buy it for her.

I look forward to the day someone challenges my right to vote. I go to the courthouse with a chip on my shoulder anyway. When you tell folks they can't vote, watch the long lines form as witnessed in the last election. Do away with straight party voting? O.k. I can navigate that situation too.

[Ibtsoom]

My parents are straight party voters and I guarantee you if Adolph Hitler and Charles Manson were on the ticket for their party they'd vote for them because of the letter in front of their name without knowing anything about them.

This, folks, is the epitome of uninformed. Not spending the time to research who you're voting for - yes, each and every individual, and casting uneducated votes is as bad as not voting at all. Common sense is common sense people.

My opinion:
All politicians - all parties - even if not corrupt at first, get that way really fast after they're elected. I hate the whole system - and there's about a snowballs chance in h3ll that anyone is going to change anyone elses mind about their political choices by arguing on here or anywhere else about it so I dont let it run my blood pressure up.

Carry on..

Ahhh...the old libtard(liberal retard) double standard.

They say you shouldn't have to produce ID to exercise your constitutional right to vote but I damn sure have to produce my ID to exercise constitutional right to buy a firearm.

or drive a car, go to the doctor, hospital, ER, leave the country, get on a plane, visit ExxonMobil or any major, large corporation as a visitor, be a union member, open a bank account, get a SS Card, a fishing license - ya need an ID to do just about anything EXCEPT VOTE-what a bunch of crapola. And as far as your Mother not voting-WTH do you do for her? You can easily assist her in getting a State ID Card-gee, may take ya an hour and no son wants to take an hour of their time to help Mom out do they? She took many hours wiping yur butt and birthing you. Bunch of excuses-all not good. As far as a "Thumb Print", ya think an absentee voter will be smearing ink on a piece of paper? One speaketh out of bof sides of the mouf. No ID, but suggest a fingerprint???? BWAAHHHHHHHH!

[Robalo]

As far as fitting into "Mainstream America", I want to ask some of you all, "When did Mainstream America become a socialistic country?" Seems to me we coddle and pay for all the poor to live a better life than someone that busted their butt working and striving for a better life while some crackhaid ho, baby machine never farging worked and does zero to contribute to society and folks believe that is "fair" and "just" to say the 1%ers are the folks that should pay for some poor slob beotch-why pick on the rich? They worked and earned their money just like you should-the picking on the rich sounds just like Lennin and Stalin and Mao Tse Dung-worked well in their oppressive countries now didn't it and sure is the same farging rhetoric Herr Obama spews daily - the commie bastage.

The farging "poor" get $6 BILLION per year for High Speed Internet for FREE-what do you pay for internet? Aint ya glad that baby making crack ho has high speed internet? Sure would be nice to get free food, phone, housing and HIGH SPEED INTERNET for free while watching porn all day or writing socialistic BS on some blog-or even showing your 7 'basterd' children on your Facebook page-how nice. I don't see Repubs pushing for FREE High Speed Internet for their constituents/supporters, but I see the Dems doing that-makes me dang glad I AINT a Dem-plus look at Obama-another damn good reason to not be a Democrat-he's trying to destroy this country. Hope your kids and you don't lose your job in 2 years when ObamaCare affects employers-you will see a massive layoff and re-hire as contract workers or as part-time workers to save money-soon a Big Mac may cost $10 to cover the insurance expense caused by Obama and his stupid idiots like Pelousy.

BTW, I don't care what Party says what about voter fraud-that is irrelevant. There should be NO voter fraud-period-and to stop it is the point. The only sensible way is through some sort of voter ID requirement-unless you have a better idea that stops voter fraud and would help in instances where some commie bastage POS Community Organizer wins by 1%.
