The Editors

It is either the case that African Americans, young people, old people, and poor people labor under some onerous yet curiously undetectable burden that keeps them from obtaining free, government-issued photo IDs, or it is the case that Hillary Clinton, the NAACP, et al. are full of bunk when they claim that voter-ID laws such as the one just adopted in North Carolina amount to “disenfranchisement.”

Real voters are disenfranchised by voter fraud, so right back at you, Hillary and NAACP crooks.

Well, I guess the argument can be made that you can "disenfranchise" multiple/fraud/illegal voting. Maybe this is what the barbarians mean?

Real voters are disenfranchised by voter fraud...

But, we're told, this never happens, or happens one or two times at most.

Just because they say so.

RE :”But the photo-ID requirement is important, too, inasmuch as it is a worthwhile thing to be able to ensure that people showing up to vote are who they say they are. Guerrilla filmmaker James O’Keefe famously talked a District of Columbia voting clerk into giving him a ballot for one Eric Holder. As our John Fund has doggedly documented, the voting fraud that Democrats claim is so rare as to be practically exotic in fact happens all the time. Examples abound: A Democratic election volunteer during the hotly contested 2012 Ohio election voted twice. Al Franken very likely sits in the U.S. Senate as the result of votes cast by more than 1,000 ineligible Minnesota voters: In an election decided by 312 votes, 177 people already have been convicted — not just charged, but convicted — of fraud in that election. In Pennsylvania, election engineers were filmed coming out of a prison with boxes of ballots (it is illegal for incarcerated felons to vote in the state). Other examples abound.”

If you listen to libs they claim there is no more than one or two cases of the above in the history of the US.
They Claim voter fraud doesnt exist.
Why? Few convictions.

My valid vote is cancelled when a fraudulent vote is cast for an opposing candidate/referendum.

Thus, I am disenfranchised when voter qualification is not properly vetted.

Democrat logic

Honesty = disenfranchisement

We have voter fraud because we have done next to nothing to stop it. The only thing Obama ever excelled at was voter fraud.
