Goggle this (if you dare !)--> "voter fraud convictions"
As many as 53,000 dead people and 182,000 non-U.S. citizens may be registered to vote in Florida, and state officials are reportedly pushing local election supervisors to remove the ineligible voters as the critical 2012 elections near.
The issue of voter fraud is on the minds of many, as we are less than 30 days from the presidential election. John Fund has been one of the nation’s most prolific writers and commentators on the subject, and recently spoke at Accuracy in Media’s conference, “ObamaNation: A Day of Truth.”
Fund refutes what he refers to as “the constant mantra we hear from the critics of voter integrity laws, and that is ‘There is no voter fraud. It’s not a problem.’ All of these efforts, whether they be voter ID laws, whether they be cleaning up absentee ballot procedures, cleaning up voter registration rolls, are unnecessary. They’re a solution in search of a problem. There is no voter fraud.”
In his speech to the conference, and in his latest book, Who’s Counting? How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk, co-authored by Hans Von Spakovsky, Fund cited numerous examples which put the lie to the narrative. ..........
No Voting Fraud? Not so, Says John Fund at AIM Conference

Isn't it the democrats that say Bush "stole" the election? I would think you guys would want this...
That is to say I don't want the people who count the votes or make the machines to skew the voting or
create laws to suppress the vote by shaving off the poor and elderly.
I have been SO POOR that I couldn't afford to get my drivers license renewed for nearly 6 months, sir.
Since when is wealth or lack of it supposed to determine eligibility to vote?
My personal story when I lived in Arkansas...Democrat busses would pick up homeless and others and drive them around paying them 5 bucks ever time they voted. Not something I desire you to believe, but for me it made me a believer in photo ID.
How did you know about this bus, the rate they paid, their agenda, etc???
Why didn't you call the authorities?

It would be interesting to see how many early voters in Ohio will vote again on election day...
We can only hope that after the last 93 year old that doesn't have any ID but a voter registration card dies we can finally ask for photo ID to vote...My guess is she will live another 50 years
edit on 14-10-2012 by Xtrozero because: (no reason given)
So I'm wondering, how many cases of voter fraud happened in 2008 or 2004 or 2000?
Since you're so concerned maybe you can share your source of concern

"When it comes to vote buying, it’s an everyday thing. ... It’s pretty much like jaywalking," admits former Breathitt County magistrate candidate Michael Salyers, who is now serving time in jail for buying votes in his 2010 race. While the funds in his case did not involve drug money, he describes how he was given $500 and ended up buying about 10 votes. He would meet people seeking to sell their votes in the back room of a local store.
"The sellers in this situation would come to me and ask how much was I paying for votes, and ask me if I was buying votes or whatever, and I told them the most I could pay is $25," Salyers described to Fox News. "They would go into the machine and cast their vote...They were supposed to vote for me. They would come back to me and I would pay them for going to vote. I had one gentleman come to me and say 'Mike, I have four votes,' so he took them to vote and I gave him $100, $25 a vote."

FYI just to update - the lady has been fired and the DA here is investigating. They are not very happy to have Houston embarrassed in this way. However, I think its great since Texas is fighting to institute voter ID.

Actually it was the reporter who was advocating fraud. Who is the campaign person to tell someone what to do or not?
No editing required...it was the facilitation of election fraud plain and simple.
