AP Exclusive: Hundreds of Texans may have voted improperly
Chron ^ | Feb. 18, 2017 | David Saleh Rauf

Texas election officials have acknowledged that hundreds of people were allowed to bypass the state's toughest-in-the-nation voter ID law and improperly cast ballots in the November presidential election by signing a sworn statement instead of showing a photo ID. The chief election officers in two of the state's largest counties are now considering whether to refer cases to local prosecutors for potential perjury charges or violations of election law. Officials in many other areas say they will simply let the mistakes go, citing widespread confusion among poll workers and voters..."We don't consider it something that we want to go out and prosecute people over,"

“Oh, but you’ll put someone in jail for 5 years for possession of an ounce of pot.....

What is more Dangerous to our Nation? A weedhead, or people voting illegally for communism?”

I am still trying to figure out how to get out of paying my speeding tickets. Seems like everyone has an out:

1. Did not intend to in their heart

2. Did not know

3. Wanted a better life

4. Hard worker

5. Committing an act of love

6. Dreamer

And now, just confused. Hey officer, that speed sign is certainly confusing. Is that 60 mph sign mean I have to go at least 60 mph, can only go at least 60 mph, in the neighborhood of 60 mph? The sign is very confusing.

Having a few high profile cases who are found guilty, deported and/or imprisoned, is going after large groups in the next election.

The “logic” of this is preposterous.

Why would anyone think that someone who has broken countless laws, starting with illegal entry into the country, would have any qualms about lying and swearing to a false statement? Truly, the lunatics are running the asylum.

That is almost word for word what I was about to post. Prosecute, maximum penalties, and for non-citizens deportation.
