“7 Examples That Voter Fraud is a Huge Problem”


The vote fraud deniers’ “other claim is that voter fraud is so exceedingly rare, so unlikely, such an impossibility that there’s no need for any voter identification. According to the Democrats, we can afford to assume that everyone will be honest on Election Day. So, there’s no need to take any basic precautions or take any steps to prevent fraud because it just doesn’t happen.


 


“Well, to the contrary, voter fraud happens all the time and it does sometimes occur on a level large enough to impact close elections. Furthermore, it undoubtedly happens much more than we realize. After all, if poll workers are prevented by law from asking if people are who they say they are, how often are they going to catch people in the act?”


 


Example #3:  “Is there an example of it swinging an election? Absolutely. If it wasn’t for fraudulent votes, Al Franken would be doing his obnoxious stand-up routines in a comedy club right now instead of the U.S. Senate.”

Pennsylvania Poll Finds Strong Support for Voter ID, Minimal Difficulty Obtaining ID


A new Inquirer Pennsylvania Poll shows 64 percent of the state’s likely voters support Pennsylvania’s voter ID law, with approval as high as 73 percent in the Pittsburgh area, and a smaller 53 percent majority in voting irregularity-plagued Philadelphia.  Not surprising numbers, as voter ID remains consistently popular nationwide. 


 


But what may surprise the ACLU, NAACP and others in the anti-ID crowd:  The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that “94 percent said it would not be difficult for them to obtain the necessary ID to vote. Three percent reported it would be ‘somewhat difficult,’ 2 percent ‘very difficult,’ and 1 percent said they did not know or declined to answer.”


 


These numbers put to the lie the Left’s baseless (and refuted) claims that voter ID requirements lead to widespread disenfranchisement. 

But is The Christian Post right in asserting that “the issue raised by liberals is not the difficulty in obtaining a valid ID, but that such laws are a throwback to Jim Crow laws of the early twentieth century that were enacted to discourage blacks and other minorities from voting.”?


 


Half right.  The “Jim Crow” smear is tossed about with reckless frequency by the Left, but “the difficulty in obtaining a valid ID” is precisely the issue raised in their legal challenge.  However, not only did a Pennsylvania court find that argument unpersuasive, Obama campaign volunteer Elizabeth Sims, who’s been offering assistance to Pennsylvania voters, says, “In my phone calls, I haven’t had one person who’s said that they didn’t have ID, and I’ve made hundreds of calls.”
