Brilliant answer with no details. Where is the fraud?
I've got a business, organization or company. I buy a mailing list to send out registration forms to people. Some of the people on the list have passed away. Where is the fraud?
Is it fraud if the dead person gets a credit card application in the mail?
Maybe it IS too complicated for you.
So I will lay it out for you.
When sending out registration forms...and the role of the company is to send regiostration forms to eligible voters.....it is the responsibility of the company to ensure the list consits of ONLY eligible voters...for THAT IS WHAT THEY DO.
Now...if you send a registration form to an ineligble voter...say a dead cat....and the resident of that home opts to register its dead cat...it opens the door for ANYONE to vote twice.
Now...when you look at the role of the mailer....TO SEND REGISTRATION FORMS TO ELIGIBLE VOTERS.....and there is an UNUSUALLY large number of forms going to ineligble voters....it is either a poorly run company....or a company who is laden with fraud.
Now...when a compoany does something wrong an UNUSUAL amount of times...it is automatically deemed as to possibly be involved in fraudulent activities...and an investigation FOR FRAUD ensues.
Finally...when the errors are noticeably favoring one voting block...as it did in this case...it gives even more reason to believe fraud is involved.
Like I said...not overly complicated.
Where is that in Election Law? Where is that in the HAVA? It's not. The organization has broken no laws, committed no fraud and has done nothing wrong.
The only "fault" that lies with this company is in not purchasing a very good list. That doesn't equate to fraud or ANY illegal activity.
Comprehend?
The organization has not been proven to have broken any laws. However, if an investigation results in evidence that the organization was intentionally sending registration forms to dead people and pets of a voter block that sways significantly toward one party...then there would be reason to move forward with charges of "conspiracy to commit voter fraud"...
But, of course...you wouldnt want to see that hapopen for you are so sure that they had no intention of doing so.....for we live in a world where NO ONE tries to game the game.
Unless, of course, they have conservative values. Those folks are ALWAYS looking to capitalize on loopholes and unethical opportunities.
