What is “Checking signatures hinders fraud, Alex?”
Gee, I wonder what party the fraud voted for.
“The actual voter was then able to cast a provisional ballot, but election officials have not decided whether it can be counted.”

Happened to me in Minnesota in 2010.
Excuse me?!? By that reasoning, the fraudulent vote stands, huh? Just like all those 100% votes for hussein are still standing. Total and complete government corruption.
We have early voting in West Virginia ... Mrs. Mountain and I went to vote yesterday morning. As we reach for our wallets to get out ID, the officials tell us ‘no need for that ... we can’t check IDs’.
So I (loudly) ask one of them “Does that mean I could claim to be anybody and vote under that name?”
Answer: “well ... you’d have to lie to me”
So I sez: “You hear about people doing that ... and nobody seems to care.”
Doubt it did any good ... but maybe they’re a little embarrassed by the complete insecurity of the vote. The machines seemed to record the votes I intended to cast .... unlike what we hear about from MD and IL.
In this day and age every person who signs to vote should be video taped in the act. They could go back and find out who voted in the real persons place, or at the very least prove that the first instance was fraud.
I also don’t see the big deal in being able to view how a person voted. Are we to ashamed for who we voted for to let others know. Then we don’t deserve to vote in the first place.
This illegal vote could be canceled if the ballot could be traced to the person who voted.
This is difficult to believe because, in 2012, a self-admitted “lefty” assured many opponents that voter fraud was “so not an issue.”
Maybe for lefties it’s not an issue, given their success with it.
Good catch; tx.
Remember - turnabout is fair play.
Vote fraud will not be fixed until the GOP is seen to be benefiting from it.
Find a ‘Rat neighbor and vote in his place.
Then find another and do it again.
For every case like this where the actual registered voter shows up to vote how many are there where the real voter does not vote and no one ever knows?
How many where there is no real voter and just fake registrations?
Depending on how they run things, it may be impossible to identify the ballot that the fraudulant voter cast. They’re anonymous once they’re in the box.
But, I’m guessing that whatever party the real guy belonged to, he and his family just became die-hard fans of voter ID.

But wait! I thought voter fraud doesn’t happen!
Maybe if New Mexico Secretary of State (Republican) Dianna Duran and the entire New Mexico Bureau of Election Resources were thrown into jail this travesty could be quickly straightened out.
This is impossible, of course. I am constantly told that voter fraud never happens. /sarc
Speaking from experience, Rio Arriba County is the hotbed of fraud.
he was not turned away, they let him cast a provision ballot
they’ll end up counting both votes
That is correct to issue a provisional ballet and then have the two parties decide together if the provisional ballet is cast by the person voting; in this case the electronic vote will be tossed out.
