Voter fraud: a rarity only in the fantasies of the far left

[giblets]

Rampant voter fraud in a city that would vote for Democrats anyway? Really? Why do something illegal for no benefit?

I ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT INCIDENTS IN PHILADELPHIA ELECTION HISTORY WHERE THERE WAS CONFIRMED FRAUD!!!!

Holy ****.

And it doesn't just come into play with Democrat vs. Republican. It comes into play within the Democratic party with non-establishment Democrats not having a chance because of fraud.

Use your brain, *******.

Rural voting locales typically don't have the population mass to credibly claim a massive turnout. IF fraud is to occurr it would finds itself most easily presented in urban locales. Since the vote usually hingers on a rural vs. urban turnout model...

I dunno. Why don't we ask the Daley machine in Chicago.

He thinks he's so clever but he's a ******

How does citing an incident that occurred two decades ago demonstrate that voter fraud is "rampant" in Philadelphia? You're just mad because you're a Republican in a city run by Democrats so you accuse them of fraud.

The Daley machine is no where near what it used to be.

[DinoDoc]

Well duh. There's no Daley to run it now.

Funny. No, even just recently before the son left office, the machine had considerably less power than when his father ran things with an iron fist.
Most of the difference was all the reform that considerably reduced the patronage army. A lot of positions went from politically appointed to merit hire.
And the number of city workers changed. Fewer garbage men to a truck. etc. The number of people that owed their job to the mayor was the power behind the machine.

So the fact that the Democrats oppose this tooth and nail pretty much across the entire party ...

Rhode Island Government:

Governor Lincoln Chafee (I) (Not a Democrat I'll grant you but still a liberal)
Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth H. Roberts (D)
Rhode Island Senate: Controlled by Democrats
Rhode Island House of Representatives: Oh look! Also controled by Democrats.

Look what they passed last year!

Plenty of vote fraud in Kentucky according to Kerry B. Harvey, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and the convictions he has obtained, but his cases would not be much affected by voter ID. They are mostly for vote buying.

"Prosecutors say more than $400,000, part of it drug proceeds ... spent to buy the votes of more than 8,000 voters, usually at $50 apiece.
One voter was even able to bid up the cost of his vote to $800.
In the Eastern District of Kentucky alone, more than 20 public elected officials and others have either been convicted or plead guilty in various vote-buying cases just in the last two years."


vote buying

We have catch a few aliens and illegal aliens trying in San Antonio many elections, but they are almost never prosecuted, just turned away from the polls and told they can not do that. No idea how many slip through. A Bit further south of San Antonio soome counties are famous for dead and aphabetized voters.

So there's no evidence that Voter ID laws significantly prevent voter fraud and there is evidence that Voter ID laws do significantly disenfranchise minorities and those who are against Voter ID laws are called undemocratic?

Why do you guys even listen to these hacks?

[Al B. Sure!]

What evidence is there that minorities are disenfranchised?

This is my problem. By what mechanism are minorities specifically adversely affected by this law? Are minorities being turned away from DMV's when they ask for the free ID's? What is stopping minorities from having ID's like the rest of the population?

The Democratic position feels like racist babying, some new white man's burden.

But how are minorities specifically affected more than white people?

This is important to know since the legal argument against the voter ID law is predicated on the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
