Joe Biden spent decades warning of voter fraud — now called a myth by Dems

The Democratic Party line treats voter fraud as little more than a GOP fever dream — yet the party’s presidential candidate Joe Biden spent decades of his career sounding the alarm about it.

Biden, the Democratic standard bearer, consistently shared GOP concerns about voter fraud during his 36 years as a United States senator from Delaware.

“Should Voters Be Allowed To Register On Election Day? No,” Biden wrote in an op-ed to a now-defunct Wilmington, Del. newspaper in 1977. He even chided President Carter for proposing it.

A “reservation I have and one that is apparently shared by some of the top officials within the Department of Justice is that the president’s proposal could lead to a serious increase in vote fraud,” Biden wrote.

He has since reversed course. In an internet conversation with 2020 running mate Sen. Kamala Harris this month, Biden said, “When you and I get elected, God willing, we’re going to push hard to make voting, Election Day, a national holiday so people don’t have to take off work. There should be same-day registration.”

Let’s be honest here. Would anyone putting in as much time as he does and seeing the crowds he does actually think they would even be one of the top two vote getters in a presidential election - much less have a snowball’s chance in hell of actually winning?

This is the goofiest election in the history of the US or any other non-third-world country.

Here’s a blast from the distant past:
A quickie Reader’s Digest story told of a child who was seen by an adult going from one store to the next, asking for a dollar for 100 pennies at one store, and asking for 100 pennies for a dollar at the next.

The adult asked the child what s/he was doing, and the reply was, “Sooner or later someone’s going to make a mistake - and it isn’t going to be me!”

The story is cute when it’s about a child and the stake is only 1¢.

Not so cute when it’s about a political party, and the stake is the whole republic.
. . . which is what Hillary’s assertion that Biden should never concede under any circumstances signifies.

It is a call to litigate the election without limit.
