Donna Brazile: Voter Photo ID Not the Answer

I would give this mental midget an extra few seconds of thought if she had the smarts to suggest what IS the answer to voter fraud.

Anyone who doesn't have the mental faculties to be able to clear those tiny hurdles on the way to the voting booth shouldn't have the right to vote.

I guess if the question is “what is the capital of Mongolia?”, she is right. If the question is “how do we improve the integrity of the ballot box?” she is completely wrong.

I am so relieved.
I guessed Ulan Bator.
So I can go ahead and vote now with a clear conscience.

I even know the Capital of Kenya!
Wooo Hooo!

Ping!

It’s all about defending vote fraud.

Everything else is a lie or a smokescreen.

And somewhere out there is an elected GOP official with the guts to say it just like that.

Anyone... anyone...? Bueller?

That’s what I think. I have no desire to keep people who are citizens and have the right to vote from voting (altho if someone is too lazy to bother to do anything for themselves I’m not inclined to go to track them down and do it for them). But I just don’t think there is anything preventing someone qualified from being able to avail themselves. This is all smoke and mirrors and is designed to allow people who should not vote, or allow people to vote more than once.
I live in S. FL and I am convinced that it’s not uncommon for snowbirds to vote here AND in NY or NJ. And we all know how they vote. If they voted for conservatives you know the rules would be tightened up yesterday.

They make it sound like their constituents are vampires...in fact, it would be funny if someone would ask them that.

[brytlea]

Yeah. These bozos just need someone to make them prove this is true. I’m sure they can’t. And won’t.

I've heard that for years and I don't doubt that some "double voting" happens as you point out.  Of course, a photo ID wouldn't address that issue (would it?). 

 

However, I think I would favor a periodic computer matching of voter rolls between, say, Florida and New York followed by a process of weeding out duplicates (and possibly prosecution of those found to have committed election fraud by illegally voting in one state or the other).

[brytlea]

I’m sorry, as usual I wasn’t really clear. The problem is that when they catch them they just don’t really do much to them. I think it’s a felony, but they tend to just let them go. I think if they threw the book at a few of them (and actually tried to find them, which with computers these days is probably not difficult) and made it pretty public, it would probably cut it way down.
And if you ever get caught and convicted of voter fraud I don’t think you should ever be allowed to vote again.

Voter fraud is the sine-qua-non of the Democrat Party.

[Let_It_Be_So]

No, you were perfectly clear...and I agree with you 100%

[brytlea]

Every time someone commits vote fraud someone is disenfranchised. And our elected officials, for the most part, seem to care not a whit. Makes me boiling mad.

If she’s against it, then it is the answer...
