In the debate over new laws meant to curb voter fraud in places like Florida, Democrats always charge that Republicans are trying to suppress the vote of liberal voting blocs like blacks and young people, while Republicans just laugh at such ludicrous and offensive accusations. That is, every Republican except for Florida’s former Republican Party chairman Jim Greer, who, scorned by his party and in deep legal trouble, blew the lid off what he claims was a systemic effort to suppress the black vote. In a 630-page deposition recorded over two days in late May, Greer, who is on trial for corruption charges, unloaded a litany of charges against the “whack-a-do, right-wing crazies” in his party, including the effort to suppress the black vote.
In the deposition, released to the press yesterday, Greer mentioned a December 2009 meeting with party officials. “I was upset because the political consultants and staff were talking about voter suppression and keeping blacks from voting,” he said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. He also said party officials discussed how “minority outreach programs were not fit for the Republican Party,” according to the AP.
The comments, if true (he is facing felony corruption charges and has an interest in scorning his party), would confirm what critics have long suspected. Florida Gov. Rick Scott is currently facing inquiries from the Justice Department and pressure from civil rights groups over his purging of voter rolls in the state, an effort that critics say has disproportionately targeted minorities and other Democratic voters. One group suing the state claims up to 87 percent of the voters purged from the rolls so far have been people of color, though other estimates place that number far lower. Scott has defended the purge, even though he was erroneously listed as dead himself on the rolls in 2006.

Republican Candidate's Dead Girlfriend Voted for Years From the Beyond Grave

Republicans are the first to point and scream voter fraud as an excuse to disenfranchise huge swaths of the voting public each year—even while lacking real-life examples of voter fraud—so I read stories like this with a certain amount of glee:

A Republican candidate for supervisor in Pinal County, Arizona has with withdrawn following allegations that his former companion continued to cast absentee ballots five years after her death.
In a statement issued by his attorneys, John Enright said he was quitting “for several reasons, including an almost year-long battle with cancer,” but did not address the voter fraud allegations, according the The Arizona Republic.
Several weeks ago, the Pinal County Recorder’s Office received an anonymous letter that claimed that absentee ballots had been cast by Sheila Nassar as late as this this year, even though she had died on Feb. 3, 2007. Enright had lived with with Nassar until the time of her death.

you're a regular sam spade , for your next trick are you gonna tell us what happened to amelia earhart?

You know what...I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Voter fraud...Google Katherine Harris 2000 Election...and read....JUST READ

Hey genius, none of the fraud claimed in the stories above has ANYTHING to do with voter ID. GO find some better stories.

Show me a case of voter fraud where voter ID would have stopped the fraud from happening. Gooooo!

Of course,they also say the borders are protected and the private sector is fine.
How awesome is that?...the same party fighting voter ID laws also claims there is no fraud.
You'd have to be lobotomized to vote democrat.

Funny how you won't actually answer what qualifies as an "ID".

Seems to fit your modus operandi !

No matter what allegations you find about voter fraud on the Internet, the voter suppression that occurs as a result of whatever corrective measures the state government attempts to take in order to eliminate voter fraud is always many times worse than any potential voter fraud.

See Florida in 2000 and 2004 as an example. If voter fraud is a legitimate concern, the course for correcting it should be a long and well thought-out one. Why are they rushing into it just months before the election? These states should take their time to make sure it is done correctly.

No evidence of actual voter fraud here, but this is from the article:

"Earlier this month, the organization sued to have 528 Wake County residents it claims are not U.S. citizens removed from the voter registration. The elections board had investigated the complaint and found that 510 of the voters were citizens and eligible to vote. It scheduled a hearing for the 18 others."

That's a pretty large margin of error. That's also the point of everyone against the anti-fraud efforts. They always appear to do more harm than good.

Possible voter fraud on absentee ballots. Voter ID would have no effect on this.

More stuff unsolved by voter ID. A person can't be bought because they have to carry ID?

How does Voter ID help this one, either. The people are who they said they were.

This is about a phony opponent being propped up.

Absentee ballots, again.

So stop connecting Fraud with ID ! If someone wants to cheat then they will find a way. In the meantime a much greater number is being deprived of their RIGHT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION !


Get the numbers for both and see it in perspective instead of just stating it !

Best description of your posts ever!

Fuck me for trying to make your thread relevant to current events.

If the efforts to quell "voter fraud" will suppress more votes than are affected by the "fraud" itself (nearly 30 times more in one of your examples), than the fraud is non-existent.
