I noticed with interest that most voter frauds occurred in large cities with strong union presence. They had the funds and manpower to help the fraud process along to achieve the desired results.
And most unions favor the Democrats in the elections for the promised benefits.
I hate the very idea of a voter or national ID card. But it will be necessary to protect our country from those who would destroy it.
When I was a boy, the League of Women Voters was a highly respected and trusted organization. They used to organize the presidential debates, and they could be trusted to do so with complete fairness.
We’ve come a long way down hill since then.
Odd that THE senior document in Mexico is THE VOTER ID CARD!
Yes...noticed this on Mexican TV newscast....in Mexico they have to have a voter ID to vote
No doubt that those who oppose voter ID are supporting vote fraud. Even that cesspool to the south of us requires it (
Yet it is the most shabbily treated by politicians and voters alike.
Each State and Precinct should guard this precious right with diligence. Only identifiably citizens in their wards should be registered and only identifiable registered voters permitted in the booth (one at a time).
Registration on voting days or within days of, is an invitation to fraud. Registering at Vehicle License Bureaus is an invitation for fraud. Registering college students in October having just arrived in school with no knowledge of local questions and then bussed to voting stations in thumbing noses at the constitution.
One of our worst curses is the illegal and the uninformed voter.
I agree on both counts ... I’ll add that I like the “inky finger” thing that a lot of third-world countries do ... no double dipping when you’ve got a purple finger.
Dang! Next thing ya know, they’ll require a picture ID to drive a car. hic!!!!
The Driver’s Licenses for ILLEGALS was ONLY so they could VOTE ILLEGALLY!! NON-CITIZENS voting means citizens are DIS-ENFRANCHISED!! This cannot stand if our country wants to remain standing!
BTTT!
As a college student, I always voted absentee “back home”. I knew the issues there better.
I bet there has been so much voter fraud in Democratic precincts over decades. Especially in the central cities . . . who’s going to rat on any cheating?
The fact that the ACLU, ACORN et al are opposing this confirms alot right there.
If I were on the Supreme Court I’d be tempted to rule that it is unconstitutional NOT to require ID. Each illegal vote cancels out the vote of some legitimate voter...
Well, Stevie Ray would have, if he had been around.

Acorn has the nuts to claim there has been little actual voter fraud?
My modest proposal on the subject is to add to an ID that proves citizenship requirement, a new penalty for anyone convicted of any sort of voter fraud, directly or indirectly.
First, the vote is thrown out completely and the entire election is held again 3 months later - with no matching funds or public finance of any kind. For one stinking vote, because where there is one there are many (this "not enough proven cases to overturn the result" crap is just that, crap).
Second, for those directly involved, especially campaign workers conniving at it - shot at dawn...
I hate the idea of a NATIONAL ID card too, although I have a passport. A VOTER ID card should be a local or state ID card, and it should include proof of (1) citizenship, (2) residency, and (3) eligibility to vote.
With absentee and early voting, the ink finger would not completely prevent multiple voting. But it would at least be a start toward preventing the vanloads of democrats that get bussed from precinct to precinct from voting multiple times on election day.
It’s more than that. The Mexican Voter ID is the primary document. Only with a voter ID can you open a bank account, get a passport, get a driver license, etc.
