“Think Voter Photo ID is not needed? Watch this video and think again.”

An editorial and cartoon at the Beaufort Observer: As with the video showing the Black Panthers brandishing their weapon and using racial slurs at the polling place, this video will not soon be forgotten.

Opponents of the Voter Photo ID bill recently debated in the N. C. General Assembly have consistently said that voter fraud is rare and in some cases they suggest the system if “fail-safe” and allows virtually no room for fraud. But a recent project of Veritas in New Hampshire shows how very easy it is for a person to get a ballot even though they are not registered or even live in the state. An undercover reporter visited polling places in New Hampshire and gave the poll a false name and in some cases a false name and address (simply gleaned from voter registration rolls). The video recorded the events. You can see how easy it is if a person(s) were to set out to rig the vote.
