Senator Al Franken (D-Lino Lakes)

He's not from Lino Lakes nor does he live there. (That's pretty red territory)

The Democrat vote is highly concentrated in dense urban areas often dominated by Dem political machines. Often there are few, sometimes practically no Republicans living in many inner city precincts and there is no or little bipartisan oversight of the polling places thus affording the Dems of unlimited opportunities for cheating and fraud.

Add to the mix, the Dems have always had a superior ground game, at least as far back as I can remember. It helps when your party has it disposal a vast army of PAID union members to help get out the vote on election day, whereas the GOP has to rely primarily on volunteers to help with its GOTV efforts.

Moreover, many of the big blue states have lax or no voter ID enforcement which of course can lead the way to illegals voting in our elections. I live in CA, a state with millions of illegals, but when you go to vote here, no one ever bothers to check your ID.

Do y’all remember when the television technicians union was having an acrimonious contract negotiation with ABC and one of their guys released election results a couple of days before the election took place?

No voter fraud scheme can move tens of thousands of votes

I used to think this, too. Then I started doing some homework.

In my homestate in 2012, tens of thousands of people were found to be double-registered in other states (not all states were checked, as well, IIRC. Who knows what a 50-state check would find?). Of these, hundreds had double-voted.

Now, are some of these people such committed supporters of BO that they're voting in NC, then driving to (say) Illinois to illegally cast a second vote for him? Sure, there's always one in every crowd.

But what's a whole lot more likely is that this person is not getting removed promptly from the voter rolls, and is getting their "double vote" cast *for* them, by corrupt precinct officials.

With that scenario, 10's of thousands of votes generated are pretty easy to come up with. 'Tisn't something I like to think about, but it surely is a valid explanation, and one worth further investigating.

Articles (like this one) poo-pooing the idea, surely aren't helping.

I read that as referring to a prison at Lino Lakes.

I give you Philadelphia...... Not a single vote for Romney.

Doesn’t matter what the rest of the state voted (including Pittsburg). Just the Dem machine in Philadelphia is enough. And they always, ALWAYS report last.

‘Nuff said. And I am sure the same model duplicated/copied elsewhere.

The author’s faith in electronic voting machines is astounding.

"He's not from Lino Lakes nor does he live there."

It appears sarcasm/parody are wasted on you.

The references to Lino Lakes, and Faribault, are referring to state prisons.

That is untrue of the City of Philadelphia.

But it is true for select (inner city) precincts in Philadelphia, and Cleveland, and many larger cities.

And I’d dare anyone to go into those particular precincts and find a Romney voter.

... or taking advantage of early/absentee ballotting, where the real or fake person votes in precinct A, and the same person votes absentee in precinct B.

There was some move afoot a few years ago to move to single-day primaries, or at least consolidating presidential primaries to a shorter window. Earlier voting would mitigate that as a solution.

Why can't I just cast all my votes now for the next 20 years... WAAAHHH!

If voter fraud is a myth why is it the democrats don’t want to allow photo ID?.

Not too sure about number 1.

0b0l0 couldn't fill a concert hall with a concert playing. Myth had packed stadiums! Plenty of Ohio precincts came in over 100%? No fraud?

“Senator Al Franken (D-Lino Lakes)”


That means that he represents Lino Lakes (a correctional facility in MN.). No, he does not live in Lino Lakes, but many of his voters did - which is what the story refers to - felons voting and universally voting for Franken.

Electronic ‘votes’ cannot be verified like a paper trail.

Solution to the rest is simple: ALL States hold the same voting day (with limited mail-in/etc., to be tallied/considered if needed). Make it damn near impossible to State-hop.

Unfortunately, even when voting fraud IS found, it’s a slap on the wrist and done.

Myth: President Obama won reelection because of voter fraud. Nonsense. The IRS under obozo targeting conservative orgs to keep them from organizing against the obozo wasn't a form of vote fraud??

Electronic voting machines cannot be hacked from outer space. From outer space, really?? per a friend who is a computer software developer and all around geek and a liberal democrat, e voting machines are not secure and do get hacked from here on earth as do the vote counting machines.

I just voted in a local election Tuesday. I had to show a voter registration card and a photo ID. They used scanned paper ballots.
