In the case of Florida....it’s just a wild landscape where New York/New Jersey residents show up, and spend three to six months of the year in Florida....claiming they are a FL resident now....when they are playing both sides of the game. If you just hired up 20 investigators who compared voting lists against NY/NJ, then went for the max fine possible for the folks....things would settle down within a year or two. And I’d make it a $20k fine for each election/each primary that you voted in...seizing assets if they can’t pay.
Excellent idea. And meaningful punishment for those found guilty. A class A felony with fines of up to 100k and 25 years in state prison.
I would also suggest more poll watchers that have real authority to bring charges if they witness voter fraud or counting irregularities.
IMO, voter fraud of the kind like that is tantamount to treason against the fundamental principles of this country’s founding. The punishment, if proven should involve SERIOUS prison time, if convicted. And I wouldn’t even quibble if the offense was found to be in a death penalty state and the ultimate sentence imposed. It is that bad of a crime in my eyes.
In college people used to vote ‘back home’ and also at college, since they lived in both places and thus were affected by who ran both places.
When I asked one of them about getting caught, they said they didn’t worry because they lived out of state and they didn’t check, at least back then. As to double voting for the president and Congress, their only response was that they would do ANYTHING to prevent ‘Fascism’ from taking hold - which means preventing a Republican from winning.
