2 Year GOP Voter Fraud Investigation Only Found 5 Cases

[Black_Label]

So much for the right wing's tinfoil conspiracies and excuses for passing voter suppression laws,..

Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz (R) has spent 18 months and almost $150,000 fulfilling his promise to make “ballot security” a top priority in Iowa.

To date, his investigation has yielded 5 guilty pleas and 5 dismissals.

Schultz is one of many Republicans who rode into office promising to curtail the non-existent plague of fraudulent voting.

Schultz has claimed that there is “a lot” of voter fraud in Iowa, and that his investigative team was sorting through a “mountain” of evidence of it. The five guilty pleas that resulted from the investigation do not constitute evidence of a systemic effort to violate Iowans’ “sacred” voting privilege.

Repubs response: But but but what about all the ones we DIDNT catch huh?

You will never get the rubes who drank the Voter ID piss to admit Voter ID does not stop the type of fraud which occurs.

Ever.

Florida requires a photo ID to vote. Does that stop fraud? Nope.

FEMA official charged in voter fraud case

According to the charging affidavit, Pawlowski signed a voter registration form in which he reported his legal address in St. Augustine Beach and voted by absentee ballot in the general election in November 2010, the presidential primary in January 2012, and the general election last November.

Voter ID never even slowed this guy down!


Top staffer for Florida Democratic Rep. Garcia resigns amid voting fraud probe

Authorities are investigating a sophisticated scheme to manipulate last year's primary elections by submitting hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests.

I want you to notice that is a Fox News story.

Fox News has been one of the leading propagandists for Voter ID. Isn't it funny they are not pointing out the failure of Voter ID to prevent or stop voter fraud?

Hmmmmm...



Let's go to South Dakota which has one of the strictest Voter ID laws in the country.

Mitchell man arrested on charge of voter fraud

The Daily Republic reports that Craig Guymon was arrested on charges of voter fraud. Police say Guymon voted Tuesday morning at the Mitchell Career and Technical Education Academy and later returned an absentee ballot to the Davison Auditor's Office.

Let's move on to Georgia, which also has some of the oldest and strictest voter ID laws in the country, shall we?

12 former officials indicted for voter fraud

12 former Brooks County officials were indicted for voter fraud. The suspects are accused of illegally helping people vote by absentee ballot.

I could go on all day with more examples from all around the country in states that have photo ID laws.

And the frauds will continue. Anyone with a lick of common sense can see the complete ineffectiveness of Voter ID for the kind of ACTUAL fraud which occurs.

In-person voter fraud is as rare as hen's teeth. Most fraud is not slowed down in the slightest by Voter ID.

Is Fox News or the Washington Times or Rush Limbaugh or CNS News or Breitbart or the Daily Caller or Glenn Beck or Alex Jones reporting on the catastropic failure of Voter ID to prevent fraud? Are they devoting as much air and print time to this fact as they do to bloviate for Voter ID?

Hmmmm...

 

[g5000]

When examining all the evidence that Voter ID does nothing to stop the type of fraud which actually occurs, it becomes pretty obvious there is an entirely different reason the puppet masters are pushing for it.

The "stop fraud" bumper sticker is for the brainless creduloids to parrot so they will support it.

…and wasted $150,000 – not very ‘republican’ of him.

 

[HenryBHough]

So voter fraud IS acceptable.

Only thing under discussion is the number to be encouraged.

You have to love how hypocritical the limousine liberals are. How they pretend to care about the poor and down trodden.

You ever see them talk about how photo ID is required for EVERYTHING. The poor cannot get any of the benefits the beloved government GIVES them. They cannot cash any type of pay check, get job, nothing.

VOTER ID VOTER ID VOTER ID.

It is PHOTO ID, not VOTER ID. Since there does not seem to be a problem, then there should not be a problem with a photo ID being required to prove who they are.

There is nothing wrong with it, and there is NOTHING stopping anyone from getting them.

Instead of agreeing with the notion that getting a photo ID is good thing for a multitude of reasons, you have the hypocritical double talking limousine liberals creating yet another race issue where they can convince those people that do not have a photo ID that they are victims.

More to the point, it is hilarious watching all of these white guilt libs feign outrage over yet another topic they could not possibly give two shits about.

Anything from the environment, to gay marriage, to the war in Iraq. All things they could not care less about. It sure gets them pats on the back and invited to the "cool parties."

Just pathetic. Tell them all they are better off not getting a photo ID, have fun with your trust fund money that you did not work for and keep entertaining me with your bullshit.

Thanks.

So voter fraud IS acceptable.

Where did you get that impression, oh strawman builder?

It just does not occur on the scale you rubes thought it did. And where it does occur, Voter ID is completely impotent in preventing it.

So Voter ID obviously has a more nefarious purpose.

 

[tinydancer]

Why do democrats keep insisting that Voter ID would suppress voting when even their very own President Carter's center insists on voter ID when they monitor elections?

The Carter Center, perhaps the most prestigious of the international election monitoring groups, founded by former President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, with 91 election monitoring experiences in 36 countries, which provides independent expert inspections of the integrity of voter registration and voting protocols around the world, recommended in 1999 that Cherokee voters provide Photo Identification to enhance trust in “the elections process of the Cherokee Nation.”

One Cherokee, One Vote ? With Valid ID, Just like Post-Apartheid South Africa Requires

 

[francoHFW]

7- Yeah, who cares about people and polution...certainly not your greedy billionnaire heroes and brainwashers...

 

[HenryBHough]

Where did you get that impression, oh strawman builder?

"Found only five cases....."

So five are acceptable. How about 50? Or 50,000?

The premise is not unlike the guy who asked the stunningly beautiful socialite:

"Would you sleep with me for fifty bucks?"

She declined.

So he said: How about for $50,000.

She agreed and they went to bed. Then he handed her a fifty and she was pissed. "What" she asked "do you think I am a common whore?"

He replied: "We established what you are - now we're just haggling over prices."

That's absurd. Democracies world wide have vote ID requirements.

South Africa knows a thing or two about racism and discrimination. What do they require for citizens to vote in their Apartheid-Free democracy?

SOUTHAFRICA Electoral Act, 73 of 1998 SECTION 38
“Voting procedure(1) A voter may only vote once in an election, and may vote only at the voting station in the voting district for which that voter is registered. (2) A voter is entitled to vote at a voting station — (a) on production of that voter’s identity document to the presiding officer or a voting officer at the voting station; and (b) if that voter’s name is in the certified segment of the voters’ roll for the voting district concerned.
(3) When a voter produces an identity document to a presiding officer or voting officer as required by subsection (2) (a), the presiding officer or voting officer must examine the identity document and determine whether –
Electoral Act 73 of 1998 (ss 36-38) 29
(a) the voter is the person described in that identity document; (b) the voter’s name is in the certified segment of the voters’ roll for the voting district concerned; and (c) that voter has not already voted in the election.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3) (a), the presiding officer or voting officer may require that the voter’s fingerprints be taken. (5) If the presiding officer or voting officer is satisfied in respect of all the matters mentioned in subsection (3), that officer must— (a) record that the voter is regarded to have voted in the election; (aA) mark the voter’s identity document in the prescribed manner; [Para. (aA) inserted by s. 11 of Act 34 of 2003.]
(b) mark the hand of the voter in the prescribed manner;”

[francoHFW]

Cherokee elections seem a bit irrelevant- did they EVER have to regiter at all... US voters have to prove who they are when they register. Change how they do that, but don't go back to screw overwhelmingly Dem voters....

 

[g5000]

Where did you get that impression, oh strawman builder?

"Found only five cases....."

So five are acceptable.

Who said five were acceptable, oh strawman builder? Why do you keep repeating this lie?

Did you look at those five cases? Voter ID would not have stopped any of them.

 

[HenryBHough]

No, all we're discussing is your price.......

 

[JakeStarkey]

Real GOP know what our party is about when it comes to 'ballot security.'

However, having a photo ID for voting is common sense.

 

[g5000]

There are people who want to add more government bureaucratic hurdles to the voting process, even those these hurdles will be completely ineffective.

These people who want additionally ineffective government layers of intervention, believe it or not, call themselves "conservative".

 

[HenryBHough]

A liberal Democrat is one who, were dipping a finger in purple ink mandatory upon voting would rush out to slam it in a car door to obliterate the stain and then, smilingly, return to dip another digit.
