Concerned about fraud

Anybody out there concerned about all the hints this election could be wrought with fraud?

No matter what network you watch these days, you hear mentions about groups that are soliciting people to register to vote. I'm good with that as long as it's on the up and up.

But apparently in Indiana, someone registered with the name Jimmy Johns -- the address was the restaurant of the same name. Then there's Tony Romo and his teammates allegedly registering in Las Vegas. And there's more.

No matter who you back in this presidential election, I just hope the election is won legitimately. No funny stuff. No bad votes. No "fake" names. One person, one vote -- that's all.

Your speaking of Acorn, My grand mother who passed away was registered. I checked. This is nothing new, Acorn has their nasty little fingers in the root cause of the financial meltdown as well. It's a liberal based Community organization that Obama supports and has extensive ties too. They are financed by democrat earmarks from your pocket. There is nothing wrong or bias when you want answers for such corruption.

acorn acorn acorn.... you'd think that the world had turned into squirrels... but perhaps just the talking point righties... guess they're afraid of the long hard winter... gotta bury some nuts round... you betcha!

Yes, tell people you pay them per name, and look what happens... you gonna tell me the GOP scum who jacked our financial markets would have behaved any better???

yes fraud is bad... but election fraud is much easier to commit and easily knocks 100s of thousands of voters off the rolls... tell us how voter fraud is bad... typical righty bottomfeeders.... ignoring wholesale theft to point out the shoplifter.... hey no one says they're wrong... just clueless... as usual.

Sorry, but this type of fraud ADDS unauthorized voters to the rolls.

I remember the 2000 presidential elections when a bimbo from New York City came to Milwaukee. She and her minions gathered up all of the homeless, transients and others, gave them cigarettes, transported them to polling places, got them registered with bogus addresses and had them vote. She was a NYC Democratic Party official.

Al Gore won Wisconsin by very few votes. Tell me voter fraud doesn't work.

but Ron,

it adds names to the rolls, but someone has to show up on election day with proof, to claim the name.

Unfortunately, our erection board, several registration agencies and our partisan Atty General VanHoodlum, put some clever mandates on the voter registration that don't serve to help proper and accurate name collection.

Namely that folks on the streets collecting the names were paid on a per name basis... and the collection agencies were required to submit all sheets with names at the end of each day.

Also many thousands of absentee ballots were sent out without the proper return address or envelope - thereby nullifying those registrants and voters.

Voter fraud is no doubt a concern, but historically, there have been very few cases that turn out legitimate, its not nearly as rampant as some would have you believe.

Conversely, election fraud and voter discrimination is factual and rampant, but one needs to scour the news to find reporting... its there, but not with the headlines that voter fraud is receiving... why?

CDog: how is "voter discrimination" rampant and voter fraud not?????? No chance.

Once the name is on the rolls, "proof" be accomplished with a simple forgery. It is conceivable, someone could go to multiple precincts being a different person with some sort of forged ID could they not?????

Is it asking too much for someone to be able to PROVE they are who they say are????? Or, heaven forbid, the be able to prove that the are in fact a CITIZEN of the United States????? Are such requirements discrimminatory??? Yes, to those who CANNOT vote in this country.

I would further suggest that voting is more accurately described as a priviledge, not a right.

For example, convicted felons cannot vote, and can only get it back by earning it.

voter discrimination happens in caging or access blocking tactics... unlike voter fraud...

by mailing out 1 million fraudulant ballots and by "forgetting" to include authorized envelopes... someone could knock millions of votes out without even bothering to show up at a polling station and risking arrest or exposure.

I gotta say, all this vote fraud lunacy... has you righties acting more like the tin foil capped conspiracy freaks than you've ever pinned on us... cuz everyone is in on this conspiracy to steal a vote one person at a time...

I'll agree every election has its share of wrongdoings... but again as always... you righties are steered toward the smalltime scam while your people just rig the whole erection...

yu really think people across the US are forging electric bills and library cards to go vote twice??? get a clue!

I've been asked to bring a bill or ID several times in the 20 years I've been voting... ya mean you haven't???

and whether you like it or not, it IS a right.... and Felons CAN vote after they've served their time and probation.

If we made free ID's widely available to citizens... sure... but no, they cost money and require long lines and great effort... again, if they were free and available at the post office anytime... I'd say sure... but instead we have a perfectly operational method of bringing in bills or printed proof.

I believe a felon is a felon for life, and if he/she wants to vote after time served a pardon from the Gov. is in order. I am not sure tho' and I will check into it.

This was cut and pasted after I googled...When can a felon vote.....

Notice that the ACLU didn't challenge the 10 felonies already in the state constitution. That's because it is generally legal for states to disenfranchise felons — the U.S. Constitution says so. (OK, not in so many words, but that's how the Supreme Court reads section two of the 14th Amendment.) Forty-eight states prohibit current inmates from voting, 36 keep parolees from the polls, 31 exclude probationers, and only two — Vermont and Maine — allow inmates to vote, according to the Sentencing Project, a liberal advocacy group in Washington, D.C. ......So it appears to be a state by state issue. Funny? Funny how in some states the ones who refuse and ignore the law can help vote in the people responsible for the law. F'N DISGUSTING in my opinion.

Vote fraud should have a jail sentence of not less than 20 years .The stealing of the very thing that makes us the best country in the world should be considered a serious crime .College kids thought it was alright to vote for Kerry as many times as they wanted .If you have no I.D. and can't figure out how to get one why should you be allowed to vote ,your an idiot .We need informed people to decide who should lead our country not lemmings (democrats)who just run to the sea and jump because thats what all the others did .

I have yet to see how all the "righties" rig the elections. Seems to me that if there was a way, the "lefties" would be all over as well. Instead, the lefties stick to the tried and true way of getting names on the rolls and then coming up with a folks to fill 'em. Why else would you be turning the roster of the Cowboys in Nevada?

And yeah CDog, it takes great time, and effort to go to the DMV.........moves just about as fast as the Post Office. But, your right, at a price $28 dollars for an eight year WI ID card, that is bound to keep everyone away...... except the evil rich.

All Colbydog does is spit out made up numbers and senerios with nothing to actually back up his conspiricy talk.

30k felons registerd to vote in florida alone, I guess voter fraud is only a couple hear and there right? You do not have to show I.D. to vote and it is the right that does not want I.D's to be required Mr. Colby, haven't heard good old Doyle preeching how it would disinfranchise voters(see not allow fraud for definition) yet you say it is somehow the right that doesnt' want it?????

I guess you haven't been to the DMV lately either, I was just there and i waited for 20 mins. in a comfortable chair and was on my way. That is the lameist excuse in the book as to why we should require id's. I will list again like in a blog I previously posted, some things that require an ID to optain....

S.S.I. and you have to wait a long time
Food stamps same thing
free childcare same thing
Housing same thing
Buy cigeretts fast service
Buy liquor faster service

it's ok to require ID for government hand outs but not voting hey???

I guess i'm all mixed up.
