If a guy sets his wallet down and turns his back, do I have a right to steal it because he wasn't paying attention?

Sorry for the guy that he might lose his family and be deported, but he should've known better than to violate the law. Gotta be reported.

A liberal gets his home robbed and I witness it. Do I laugh or report it?

Report him. He is undermining the very foundation of our society.

The sad thing is that the question even needed to be asked. It's a no brainer. Report the jerk.

From our last conversation, it is clear that he plans to vote again in the upcoming primary and elections. Nice of the MSM to help decriminalize the perception of voter fraud.

Should I report him to the authorities
Yes. Nothing will happen to him or to the poll workers but at least you did your civic duty.

Isn't "failure to report a crime" a crime?
We should report this ethically challenged letter writer!
And put him AND his friends in jail!
Their wives too!!!

Stupid question,but is it correct for me to assume that when someone registers to vote,their registration form is verified for accuracy?

The only question is to whom do you report this? Prepare for a lot of the runaround.
To: wallcrawlr
Is this one of those urban legends? How do one vote without being registered in-advance?
To: wallcrawlr
There is no ethical problem.
The man is a foreign agent who has committed, and plans to continue committing, acts to change American government.
He is a spy.
If convicted, hang him and deport the family.
I take this seriously.

Yes, people have given their lives to protect our electoral rights. It's crazy to even consider not prosecuting fraudulent voters.

And the columnist answers
NOHaving said that, I don't think we all have an obligation -- legal or moral -- to act as agents of the state, or enforcers of the law.
...
Reasonable people can disagree about how serious illegal voting is, based on their underlying moral attitudes.
...
Could we solve this problem on a societal level by insisting that everybody who wants to vote should be required to provide proof of citizenship? I think the benefits of such a solution are outweighed by the obstacles that it would create for a lot of honest people.
Think this guy is a Democrat?
