Link. “For all the talk of liberal “progressiveness,” the voter-ID wars are a ridiculously antique sideshow for a high-tech society that processes terabytes of data every hour. Besides offering soapbox time to obsolete organizations that require improbable racist conspiracies and theoretical civil-rights hobgoblins to keep their fundraising letters lively, the war against voter ID is fought to keep voter fraud alive.”
“While we’re talking about “disenfranchisement,” what about the legitimate voters, of every race, disenfranchised by voter fraud? Every phony ballot cancels out a real one. Should we do some racial bean-counting in the areas most prone to electoral irregularities, and draw some conclusions about the “discriminatory” effects of failure to require accurate voter identification?”
Exactly. There are costs to NOT requiring Voter ID that are never factored into the discussion, due to the left’s absurd assumption that no voter fraud currently exists.
Where is the massive evidence of “voter fraud”? I say there is very little evidence at all.
However, there definitely is “election fraud”. Read on, fellow patriots:
Between 2002 and 2005 the U.S. Department of Justice had voter fraud at the top of its agenda. With their clear emphasis on law enforcement prerogatives, the goal to shut down alleged voter fraud produced next to nothing: Three years, 38 cases, 11 guilty pleas, and 13 convictions. It is the best outcome the Department of Justice could get. They’ve been at it over 30 years, so you’d think they would have learned a trick or too.
In 2005, two major studies were commissioned by the Election Assistance Commission. One was on voter intimidation and the other on polling place fraud. The results: there is virtually no voter fraud but voter suppression is a major problem.
If the United States is truly a democratic state governed by representatives elected by the people, why does it support regimes that are clearly anti-democratic?
Why does the U.S. president ignore the will of the citizenry? The American people were strongly opposed, in some polls by a ratio of 1,000 to 1, to the Bush-Obama bailout of AIG and the criminal investment banks it insured, yet the incredibly costly bailout sailed through Congress!
Funny how that happened.
Another funny thing is this: our votes are not counted openly in the precincts where the votes were cast. Think about that.
The widespread use of electronic voting machines enable elections to be stolen from us. Unsecured computerized voting on invisible ballots. Vote counting conducted in secret. A billion dollars spent on campaigns. These and other manifest problems should be the focus, not the contrivance of voter fraud based on a fiction.
Voter fraud is a fiction, but election fraud by those in power is widespread. For those of you who truly believe in Liberty — and I believe the majority of you do — I implore you to focus on the real problems confronting our country, not the distractions promulgated by the two leading political parties.
This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. Both are equally guilty of running America into the ground. Both parties have been bought and paid for by the very same people.
Strange as it may seem, the Tea Party and the Occupy Movement have far more in common with each other than they do with either national party. Seek the truth and stay independent.
