Stop Voter Fraud Now

And yet, you guys are little concerned about real election fraud (caging, for example).

Also, what your proposing would require some sort of national ID database which can be checked by poll workers.

Make every vote public. The more open government is, the better it will be. This includes those who vote.

That would be a step in the right direction. A neighbor who wants to rob the other through a property tax increase would have to do so publicly, and my hope is they would fear backlash thus limiting the size and scope of government itself.

I have a sure-fire way of eliminating voter fraud, and ensuring that "1-man...1-vote". The only way I see for that to happen is to only allow eligible Social Security numbers votes' to count.

As you vote you type in your SS#. After the polls close the votes are filtered thru the Social Security system and only the name, address, and SS#s that are valid have their votes "validated".

At the end of the vote counting the names and addresses of voters whose votes were disallowed are printed out in a report, and the voters are researched to see why their SS# isn't valid. If there was a screw-up, their votes get counted, if their SS# is invalid, it gets tossed.

Vote yea or nay on this simple proposal.

There will not be any attempt to halt voter fraud as long as Democrats have a say in the matter.

Photo ID, for example has been found to hinder said fraud, but the current administration has halted the use of photos.

1. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter-identification law on Monday, declaring that a requirement to produce photo identification is not unconstitutional and that the state has a “valid interest” in improving election procedures as well as deterring fraud.

2. Atlanta - “The decision by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to deny preclearance of Georgia’s already implemented citizenship verification process shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections. With this decision, DOJ has now barred Georgia from continuing the citizenship verification program that DOJ lawyers helped to craft. DOJ’s decision also nullifies the orders of two federal courts directing Georgia to implement the procedure for the 2008 general election. The decision comes seven months after Georgia requested an expedited review of the preclearance submission.

3. Democrats say the laws keep poor and elderly voters - meaning their voters - away from the polls because it's hard for those people to get photo IDs. But Republicans say such laws prevent voter fraud. The debate might explain why the voter-ID law in Indiana got all its "yes" votes from Republicans and all its "no" votes from Democrats.

4. The Obama Justice Department has rejected Georgia’s voter ID system that requires voters provide Social Security numbers and driver’s license data in order to vote. The rejection letter cites the law’s disproportionate impact on “African-American, Asian and/or Hispanic voters” that burdens their right to vote.

5. Although liberal media support the old wives tale of GOP voter suppression by requiring identification, careful analysis shows a quite different reality:

“The findings of this analysis suggest that voter identification requirements, such as requiring non-photo and photo identification, have virtually no suppressive effect on reported voter turnout.
Controlling for factors that influence voter turn¬out, states with stricter voter identification laws largely do not have the claimed negative impact on voter turnout when compared to states with more lenient voter identification laws.
More important, minority respondents in states that required photo identification are just as likely to report voting as are minority respon¬dents from states that only required voters to say their name.”

6. Several Democratic presidential candidates, including frontrunner Howard Dean, also support felon voting.

A cynic may be forgiven for suspecting that the motivation behind such support has as much to do with political expediency as principle.
Several recent studies contend that even allowing for their expected lower participation rates, the restoration of voting rights to felons would have shifted the outcome of a number of recent congressional elections. This tantalizes the felon-vote movement. But the movement receives its greatest inspiration from the 2000 election fiasco in Florida. Felon-vote proponents claim that had felons who have completed their sentences been permitted to vote in Florida, Gore would be president today. And they're probably right.

So, how would you vote is the room was packed with SIEU thugs, and the ballot question was union raises?

ya still have to neuter criminal groups like ACORN. and what about the tall black guys in front of the polls with clubs????

 

[Political Junky]

So what happens when social security numbers start being stolen?

That was my first thought too. Dumb idea.

What crime did ACORN commit?

When your vote is recorded the SS# is electronically recorded & encrypted. No one can steal it because no one sees you vote.

What's a facepalm? Is that like a dullard?

When your vote is recorded in such a fashion, that makes your information liable to be stolen. There's a little thing called hackers, or even rigged machines.

I'm facepalming because this plan was not thought through.

That's a private matter so how they choose to have elections is no concern to me...

That's not what the Dems are trying to do with the Card Check legislation.
