Can you link to those claims by the ton of people who say there is NO voter fraud? Should be a piece of cake as there are a TON of them!
Because I think you are making THAT up in your head.
So, we should let just anyone who wants to drive a car or carry a concealed weapon to do so? We should accept them at their word that they are eligible, have been trained and satisfied the requirements?
Once they are registered, we should let anyone who claims to be Joe Blow vote?
In my last post, I have proved at least one person who made that shit up in their head.
I wonder where everyone is going? All these claims and no one has come back with evidence to support them. Hmmm...
A TON of voter ID proponents who calime there is no voter fraud. No evidence to support that claim. But we do have one yahoo busted for making that shit up in his head.
As for your off the wall concealed weapon and driver's license red herring, that is apples and oranges to Voter ID. The necessity of the regulations for acquring a driver's license has been established.
The necessity for Voter ID has not. Instead, we get a lot of smoke, like your driver's license thing. You are empty handed. Bring me something which proves we need it or you can't honestly call yourself conservative. You are asking for more government growth and intervention in the exercising of your right to vote.
Hmmm...
And yes, I do believe you should be able to register to vote and then not have to show ID on election day. I actually have doen that many, many times, as have US citizens for hundreds of years!
Now, about this "anyone who claims to be Joe Blow" voting. This is one of those imaginary scenarios I was talking about. That's all you guys have. Imaginary shit. No actual evidence this kind of thing is swinging elections.
So let's analyze and understand exactly why and how we know this is not going on to any large degree.
Okay. Joe Blow registers to vote. Then on election day, Bart Black shows up at the voting booth and tells the octagenarian on duty he is Joe Blow and she smiles and gives him a ballot and checks Joe Blow's name on the registered voter list as having voted.
Then Joe Blow shows up and all hell breaks loose.
Bart Black is risking jail time for doing this. What is the upside that makes taking this kind of risk worth it? Is Bart's one extra vote going to re-elect the Kenyan Muslim?
No. So why would Bart risk it?
Hell, the guy in the OP figured out that much. He faked TEN votes. And was smart enough to not commit ten
in person voter frauds. You'd have to be nuts to do that.
For your Joe Blow scenario to succeed, you would have to go large. You would need an army of co-conspirators to swing the election. And they would all have to keep quiet, forever.
The only problem is all those Joe Blows who are breaking out screaming over their votes being stolen. And I don't recall hearing of any such thing happening, do you?
This is why you have to
invent such a scenario. The chances of them happening in real life are pretty slim.
I suppose you could dispatch a team to find out who is in the hospital on election day, and who among those have not cast an absentee ballot.
But would that swing an election? I seriously doubt it.
