There always has been fraud.

We'll just have to be dilgent and confront problems.

It will always be a fight we must wage.

I don't know. maybe social insurance cards should have a magnetic strip that can be swiped. That way a person can only vote once. We have the technology, and it wouldn't be hard to implement it.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Email the govenors of N.Y and Florida and ask them WHAT THE HE}} are you doing about this!?

Reach the Governor (FL)

Contact the Governor (NY)

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I know. The left is so ignorant.

[jazzlite]

If this is not stopped, the nation will not stand. I know some voter fraud has always existed but this is too much!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Hillary wants the Electoral College to go bye-bye and to not have people's I.D.s checked at the polls.

[swilhelm73]

There always has been fraud.

One question that troubles me though whenever I consider this topic is just how much fraud is there exactly? IIRC, the Palm Beach Post found somethign like 4,000 felons voted illegally in Florida in 2000.

But this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg as it doesn't count two state voters, the dead, illegal aliens, Irv Slosberg's vot-a-matic, etc.

[jazzlite]

How many of us would volunteer in our state to check the records of every absentee ballot to determine whether the person had voted twice? Also, to check to see whether the person was an existing human, a cat or whatever? I would.

Excerpts from: Thousands Registered to Vote in 2 States-Report [Sun Aug 22,12:07 PM ET] NEW YORK (Reuters) - About 46,000 people are registered to vote in two states, New York and Florida, a violation of both states' laws that could affect the outcome of the November presidential election, according to an investigation by the Daily News. [...] Of the 46,000 registered in both states, 68 percent are Democrats, 12 percent are Republicans and 16 percent didn't align themselves with a party, the newspaper reported on Sunday. [...]

[Nathan Zachary]

That's the one! Most Republicans are honest as we can see.
68% of democrats are felons. those are almost the same numbers as democrat senators who are felons, LoL (joking, I think)

[Jaysun]

Zot? What the hell?

[Crazieman]

Look at the To - Its a removed post. Was a troll.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It's a fact of life. There do need to be safeguards.

We can only be so diligent and still have free elections.

The answer this year is to wipe the floor with them.

[Mudcat]

That's an amazing statistic - do you perchance have a source?

[Mudcat]

10 whacks with the silly stick to me! Didn't see your "(joking)" until a second read...

[Robert A Cook PE]

And, this is as true now, as it was in 1992, 1996, 2000, and will be true in 2008.

A point though.

Hillary will be running in 2008. And, perhaps, 2004.

I would too.

46,000 registered New York City voters are also registered to vote in Florida

What are their names and addresses?

[Robert A Cook PE]

My opinion?

NO real numbers.

Probably any election that is "close" - 1% maybe - is threatened win/loe by fraud. Above that?

So far, they can't pull it off.

Oh, sorry. I was dizzy for a minute there.
