Faethor, I kinda like this set up
Next time though, all four of my votes will be for somebody other than Obama.

This is so funny Faethor
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...oses Voter Fraud-Friendly Policies in Vermont

Guy in Vermont is getting ballots by the handful, no ID required. Fancy that, and apparently got it on tape.

Of course that would never happen anywhere else. Well maybe New Hampshire, but no where else.

You should see how easy it is to get absentee ballots. The dead can vote. But you need to know their names - you generally require someone who has access to the lists - so it's not going to be some lone Mexican going around doing the fraud. Voter fraud is usually backed by money.

Excellent.. In related news the Courts of Wisconsin appears to be turning back their law too! http://www.postcrescent.com/article...nsin-voter-ID-law-struck-down-by-second-judge

Republicans let's bring forward laws which extend the voting rights to the people. In EVERY state with a voter-id law the turn out is lower compared to non-voter id States. This idea disenfrancises the voters.

No, it's to stop Progressive's favorite past time, voter fraud. Don't like the ID, then lets go with the purple finger. In FL, there is a photo ID requirement, and there has been no issues. Don't give me that the poor won't have government issued photo IDs, they have to have them to get welfare in the state of Florida.

Kind of hard for Obama to get out the "dead" vote if an ID is needed.

Really? No one here besides me had a fake ID to buy alcohol? Why can't someone just as likely get a fake ID to vote?

Know what Minnesota found and prosecuted voter fraud from the last election. No VoterID needed to find fraud. Not bad for one of the highest percentage turn outs to vote.
 
you have to know the person's name, copy their signature and hope that no one recognizes that YOU ain't him.
 
]Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Sean Caddle, who also worked for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) before coming to Houston. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid.[/URL]

That Quanell X, head of the New Black Panthers being involved with the voter registration group is just a 1 in a billion coincidence


Houston's seven congressional districts has four that were predominantly Republican and three that were predominantly Democratic. The four predominantly Republican districts had a range from 1,973 to 3,300 addresses with six or more people registered to them. The three predominantly Democratic districts had much higher numbers. Though this could possibly be attributed to variations in socioeconomic factors between the predominantly Republican and predominantly Democratic districts, what the group found next was alarming. The predominantly Democratic districts themselves had large variations between them in the number of addresses with six or more registered voters. The first had 7,560, the second 8,981, and the third — the district of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, —had 19,596 instances with six or more voters registered at one address.
 
@Metalman,
This may be pointing more to who voted versus who rigged the vote counting. We all know the winner is whomever the voter counter decided to give the numbers to. (The Supreme Court in 2000 drove that point home. As it removed more States Rights.) Which filters into why eVoting must be trackable and a paper trail for auditing.

It just raises the cost, that's all. But that won't be an impediment to the kinds of people who really do these kinds of frauds - they still need the lists and they still need bodies on the ground to do the actual voting - the cost of IDs on top of that is nothing but it keeps the game out of the hands of smaller operators.

This is a silly post from Metalman as it doesn't support his position. Just because more voters live in a house doesn't mean they are fake voters. It'd certainly be more wothwhile to focus on actual votes. Did the source audit and see that all 6 people voted? And if so were they alive and US citizens? If so it doesn't matter. ... Metalman's link is a good question but clearly not conclusive in the way he hopes it might be.

OK Mr.Canadian, which US states do not require a government issued photo ID to get welfare?

Housing project residents would have their own separate mailing address for each unit so that doesn't wash. Now skilled nursing or rehab may be a point, but since the rehab is generally temporary, I doubt they are worried about voting from that facility. Skilled nursing facility may have quiet a few, but the majority of the long term residence suffer from some degree of Dementia so no voting there.

State laws apply here. Certain States have no laws on their books restricting voting in this manner. Some states the only legally found (ie court ruled) mental imparement applies. I know this specific example was Texas but I thought it note worthy to mention what the law is in the State itself defines this.
