Surprise: 'Non-Existent' Voter Fraud Strikes Again, in Four States
Townhall ^ | Aug 19, 2016 | Guy Benson

Posted on 08/19/2016 1:49:23 PM PDT by detective

Literally every time I write about voter fraud, or a judge up-ends a popular and democratically-enacted voter ID law, lefties come out of the woodwork to insist that such measures amount to racist "voter suppression," cynically masquerading as a policy solution to a problem that doesn't exist in reality. While some on the Right do overplay the threat and extent of fraud -- an impulse that can feed counter-productive, conspiratorial thinking -- the notion that it's a totally fake problem is just patently false. Liberals must be challenged aggressively every time they make this claim: Fraud absolutely exists, and they're apparently willing to tolerate it. Why? Setting aside the new examples for a moment, feel free to go back and check out these examples from Florida, North Carolina, California, and Ohio -- among many others. I needn't remind you that three of those are battleground states. Now, onto the latest instances, as flagged and summarized at the Daily Signal

would go further than that. I would require every voter to show proof of citizenship when registering and make them re-register IN PERSON every 4 years to prove they are still alive.

I would go further than that :
Prevent voter fraud :

Go back to paper ballots
where there are receipts and a written record
for votes cast !!

Voter fraud is only real when it happens to Bernie. ACORN types would never compile a list of fake voter registrations then over the entire month of early voting just send a few guys to a bunch of precincts every day voting with those names totally unchallenged. Would never happen

Anyone not smart enough or motivated enough to obtain an ID need to vote should not be voting anyway.

Bernie people were EVERYWHERE in Calif. Hillary people were NOWHERE:

Yet as if by magic, Hillary crushed Bernie.

Hmmm....

The ones who complain the loudest about measures to prevent this type of fraud are precisely those who intend to perform it nationwide.

ID checks are obvious common sense but in most of the cited examples it's absentee ballots that are a rich source of fraud. Given the rise in early voting, which alleviates the need to vote on the actual date of the election, the legitimate need for absentee balloting has been greatly diminished and the conditions under which absentee votes should be allowed should be reviewed and curtailed.

I'd be happy to see true absentee balloting restricted to active duty military on deployment, those who are medically disabled and unable to leave their home, etc. Members of the general public should be required to vote in person (and show proper ID when doing so) in almost all circumstances.
