Stiffer Voter Fraud Penalties

[Interpol]

Voter fraud is just another right-wing meme not based in reality. There is no rampant voter fraud in America.

The voter i.d. laws proposed by Republicans are meant to make it as difficult as possible for people to vote.

For instance, they'll pass a law requiring people to have a specific kind of voter i.d. but then they'll reduce the hours and close as many places as they can so that people are forced to wait for hours and hours, which they know old people can't do.

Instead of growing their base, Republicans are going with the strategy to try to prevent the other side from voting. That's why early voting has been dramatically reduced in Ohio now. They can't stand the thought of black people going to vote after church on Sunday, so they got rid of Sunday voting.

If a person's social security card and other similar forms of i.d. have been okay for decades now, I don't see why that's all of a sudden a reason for taxpayers to have to shell out millions or billions. Of course, Republicans say they want smaller government, but it would cost a lot to get people specific voter i.d. cards only for Republicans to then change the laws and say those cards are invalid.

Same with the stupid Republican state laws they try to pass forcing people to have drug tests. That costs a lot of money, which just proves yet again that "fiscal conservatism" is just a right-wing meme. It has no basis in reality.

I would like to have a special task force dedicated to investigating this all across America.

Of course you would.

As with most partisan rightists you buy into the myth of voter ‘fraud,’ and what you might ‘believe’ is in fact a fantasy.

Consequently you’re seeking an investigation into a problem that doesn’t exist, where your true motive is to attempt to deflect attention from the many and comprehensive deficiencies of conservative dogma, such as the myth of voter ‘fraud.’

You minions of defective mental capacities run out that Democrat cannard that voter fraud is imaginary, with the confidence that comes with religious faith. The we can't see it, so it must not exist bullcrap. We don't know how much voter fraud takes place, but we do know it exists. We don't know because the people who are doing it are not going to investigate themselves.

The fact that you want to ignore is that currently, voter fraud is easy to do and the consequences for getting caught doing it, are minimal. When fixing an election is easy, and the consequences of getting caught doing it are light, you can bet your purple bippy that it is being done, and on a large scale.

If you can remember back to the Florida election with the hanging chads, dented chads, and even dimpled chads, you can see easily how voter fraud works. Those dents and dimples were not caused by defective machines, they were caused by running multiple ballots through the machine in batches. Those machines may punch the first couple of cards, but they just dent or dimple the rest. No different than trying to hole punch too many pages in a manual hole punch. You get the same results.

This is an idea I think everyone should support. I propose we institute much stricter penalties for voter fraud in America. Like maybe, mandatory life in prison if you are caught tampering with the vote in any way, casting a fraudulent ballot, or attempting to stuff a ballot box. If you happen to be an illegal alien voting illegally, you should be immediately deported to your country of origin.

I would like to have a special task force dedicated to investigating this all across America. I believe that we have massive amounts of voter fraud happening every election and it simply gets worse every cycle. The integrity of our democratic process should be the most important thing for every American to protect.

Not only should we require voter identification, but proof of residence in the precinct which you are voting. If you don't have it or can't get it, sorry.. you don't get to vote. We have the technology to link all precincts together across a state, so that voter registries can easily be adjusted to accommodate people who move between elections. There is absolutely no reason for the levels of confusion and chaos currently happening at election time.

Now I am betting my main opposition to this will be the liberals. This is because they know full well what has been happening, that their party has been exploiting the system to elect liberal politicians to power, and that such a plan as this would end their little scam once and for all. This is why they fight the voter ID laws so fervently. This is why we see so many dead people casting their votes in liberal bastions like NY and Chicago.

This needs to end, posthaste.

99%.., that 1% i disagree with is this: "I propose we institute much stricter penalties for voter fraud in America. Like maybe, mandatory life in prison", that will cost us too much, i suggest we buy them a one way ticket to the socialist country of their choice, pack their bags and bid them farewell with instructions that if ever caught in this country ever.., hang'em high or firing squad...., their choice.

i can tell you right now before reading any further, you will be called a nazi, or even worse....., a......., gasp!!............, an CONSERVATIVE !!

Hold on a second. A lot of dead people voted for Obama in 2012. How will this deter them in the future?

After you issue everyone ID, ask away. Cart after the horse, not before eh?

Isn't it fortunate the the leftwingtards have convinced large swatches of blacks, "poor", elderly, and others that they are really too stupid, lazy, or incapable of finding their way to the local government office responsible for issuing said photo IDs.

Or it has to do with those people's schedules being too full with work, school, kids, transportation issues, etc. during the normal business hours that said photo IDs would be available.

Everyone knows that the right-wing push for voter IDs isn't to stop voter fraud. It's to stop voters.

It's to stop voters.<-----------<<<< THAT is the biggest ******* usual lie you liarberals always use, it's worn very thin and in shreds, i could give you all a very good new slogan.., but, why should i do all your thinking for you ?
