Question:

If you do not KNOW for sure WHO is actually voting because you have no ID requirement, how on Earh can you prove or disprove that there is or is no fraud?

It is interesting to me that on election day the bars and liquor stores are closed but for early voting you can get as drunk as you want..........and it is laughable that illeagle aliens won't vote because it is illeagle since they already broke the law to be here

voter fraud my azz...control is what you tea nuts want for life

the tea party...are the scribes and Pharisees of our time

Voting laws, at least for national elections, need to be standardized for the entire country. What types of ID, if any, need to be standardized for the whole country, voters with a long history of voting need to receive real assistance (not just instructions to go to a new line) in obtaining such ID's or they need to be grandfathered into the system. Voter IDs need to be issued at the time of registration and the law in effect at the time they register needs to be honored for all people who registered under it. Changes should not be backdated. Early and absentee voting needs to be standardized nationally and election day needs to be a paid holiday. Voting is by far more important and more basic to our country than all those other holidays we get to take off.

If voting is such an important right, and supported by the Constitution, and the right to bear arms is also an important right, and supported by the Constitution, why would you have to produce ID for one and not the other????? If you support NO ID to vote, you are merely a hypocrite if you don't ALSO support no ID to purchase, register, or own a gun!

hey a— — hole liberals that is set on ruining this country with thier bedpartner obameee, trhere should be voter ID laws.the civil rights BS should be done,you alrready have a black and islam man in the white house or maybe you stinking liberals just want the minorities to take over the whole country and give them a state or maybe give them all the houses and everything that hard working people worked thier a— — 's off to get where they are by hard work,now that is a concept hard work.maybe you leaches should try hard work.we show id for everything on this planet and thier should be no exemptions,there is no differance between muslum brotherhood,liberals,obame,hitler,black panthers,van jones,george soros,musilini,stalin and more,all want and wanted to rule the world and ruin it

Still waiting, Elvis. What states have outlawed the possession and ownership of guns? See, you spout that complete nonsense, and then can't even back up your OWN silly statements!

explain to me how in an election a muslim loses twice, and the electorial college still puts him in my whitehouse???? this illegal alien is a resident of kenya, self admittedly!!! and is still here???? the supreme court is as bunch of @!$%#s, and when the muslim puts his cohorts in there during this term it will get worse... you idiots that voted for the muslim are going to be very sorry for what yhou have done.. he will destroy the constitution, that has alresdy started with his bitch hillary meeting with the united nations to form a pact to take all american guns... do you have any idea what this will do???? the civilian gun ownership is the largest army in the world>>>> you eliminate this and you will be overrun by criminals, aliens, hispanics, muslims etc.. i am embarrased to be a part of this nation! ! ! !

Elvis must have been in some kind of research group for drug use. Surely no person could be that stupid on their own without some help from drugs gone bad!

Easy one for you, Elvis.

Cite which law blocks all citizens from owning a gun in New York state.

Real easy for a person like you with all the facts at your fingertips, Elvis.

Can you do that ONE very simple thing to back up your bold-faced lies?

Just give me the name, number, and when the law was passed, Elvis.

It sounds like the Supreme Court wants to legislate from the bench.

what happen folks you going to let a drug infested liberal take over the vine ..hahjahahaha

Democrats must sue to get the newly gerrymandered districts in many states overturned. THAT has become a bigger election scandal than any other.

Democrats garnered more votes for Congressional seats than the hate-and-fear mobsters, yet the gangsters control Congress?

Well, the goper gangsters have been warning us about voter fraud for years, and STILL managed to get away with it.

You should be required to show some type of photo idea to photo. How can we think voting is fair without some type of fair process? You should also be a (legal) citizen of the US, why allow people to vote but not pay taxes? Any person caught cheating or attempting to vote more than once should be band from the voting process. We all need driver license to drive a vehicle but not vote? Goes to show how messed up this country really is that we cant come up with a fair process for all people and all states. Look at ACORN, The Black Panthers and others who ever time election roll around they are caught cheating.

I live in Massachusetts and you only need to give your name and address to vote. No signature or ID. No chance for fraud there..........

It's official....the dead overwhelmingly voted for Obama this year!! Odd...I didn't see that many Obama bumper stickers on tombstones?

A Mississippi NAACP executive is in jail after being convicted of voter fraud for fraudulently casting absentee ballots, including four for dead people.

Lessadolla Sowers, who is a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee, was convicted and sentenced in April for what a judge said were crimes that cut “against the fabric of our free society.”

She was given a five-year sentence for each of the ten counts of voter fraud for which she was convicted, but the sentencing judge allowed her to serve the terms concurrently, according to the Tunica Times.

Matthew Vadum, author of Subversion, Inc., notes Sowers’s DNA was found on the inner seals of five envelopes that contained the absentee ballots, and liberal groups like the NAACP and ACORN have had a history of such shenanigans.

According to Vadum, the NAACP National Voter Fund has done everything from registering a dead man to vote in Ohio in 2004 to filling out fraudulent voter registration cards. In addition, ACORN, the community-organizing group Andrew Breitbart and James O’Keefe exposed aiding actors posing as sex traffickers, has had at least 54 people employed by or directly associated with the group convicted of voter fraud. ACORN has also been banned from Ohio due to its fraudulent activities.

And while Democrats try to frame voter ID laws as racist and partisan, Vadum notes many prominent Democrats, such as Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, have successfully prosecuted people for voter fraud, which makes it more difficult for Democrats to argue that voter fraud does not exist and voter ID laws are not needed.

I am I to deduce from the opposition to voter ID laws that liberals in general, and minorities in particular are either too lazy, or too stupid, or both, to get IDs where required?

Hey Supreme Court, you didn't hesitate to go behind American's backs and sneakily decide that corporations are people did you, so what's stopping you now?

If I have to provide proof of health insurance for Obamacare, then ID for voting should be a no-brainer. On the other hand, I can choose not to vote, but the Gov is forcing me to purchase insurance.

Your a idiot! plain and simple. I have a good idea set up all voting booths on military bases and you have to have a pass and id to get on the base to vote. Stops voter fraud and maybe the military will get to vote and have a say in the elections.

My proposal:

Get rid of Columbus Day and let's get out of the dark ages. Instead, let's have a holiday for voting - the Monday before the first Tuesday in November. Where to vote and where to turn in our mail in ballot? Drum roll....

The post office. Look: These guys are federal employees. They've taken an oath already. It's what they do!! Many post offices already have surveillance cameras. I say, give it to them. Everyone knows where the post office is located unless they are severely challenged. Many post offices have secure storage facilities to cram the votes in for safe keeping. Why not? Heck, they need the money and we need the security. Put the poll watchers there. Whatever. Just get er done. Maybe we should extend the holiday... to include the Friday and the Monday before Election Day Tuesday... don't want the post office employees to go postal on us. And with that kind of leeway, we should start seeing our numbers climb to 70 - 82% of eligible voters voting.

Our postal service is not perfect - nothing is. The point is, they handle mail everyday. They are federal. They can be set up for this with some modifications. This is better than the rat traps we are dealing with now... people standing in line for 6 - 8 hours. With the post office, all you have to do is stand in line for 5 hours... ha, just kidding...joke...

This Elvis character, a real person of interest. To some one! Hopefully someone will accept him or her as a person that can enjoy life and stop acting like a 6 year old child.

I bet you voted 3 times for Obama!

The following is from a report entitled The Voting Rights Act at Work 1982-2005 by The National Commission on the Voting Rights Act ...[This Commission was created by The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights]

.

The continuing impact of the Voting Rights Act can be fully appreciated only by understanding the historical context in which it was passed. From the beginning of the twentieth century, when southern blacks were almost completely disfranchised, until 1965, when many had regained the franchise and others were struggling to do so, key elements of the southern white power structure opposed black voting and ensured continued implementation of the myriad tests and devices designed decades earlier to prevent blacks from casting a ballot. Into the 1960s, black civil rights activists, along with their white allies, were threatened, harassed, jailed, beaten and even murdered as they encouraged and helped black citizens to register and vote.

Nonetheless, after the Supreme Court declared the white primary unconstitutional in 1944 and the Civil Rights Movement gathered momentum, southern whites, at least the more prescient, saw the handwriting on the wall. They began to prepare for the day when blacks would once again achieve the right to vote. White officials set about changing many aspects of the election systems they controlled in order to dilute the power of the black vote as it became more widespread. These changes were put in place at every level of government in the southern states, in many instances soon after a black was elected to office or came close to winning. Electoral districts were racially gerrymandered or abandoned entirely and replaced by at-large schemes. Majority-vote requirements replaced plurality-win rules. The numbered place system and staggered terms replaced rules allowing single-shot voting. Offices were changed from elective to appointive, or their authority was diminished. Municipal annexations or de-annexations were designed to increase the white percentage of cities' population. In short, black vote dilution was white supremacy's second line of defense when the first line of defense, massive disfranchisement, was breached—as it was in 1965.

The task of African Americans, who now had at their disposal a new and powerful weapon to secure their voting rights, was thus twofold: to put an end to massive disfranchisement, primarily in the South; and to dismantle the dilutive mechanisms designed to prevent them from electing their preferred candidates. The first task was accomplished, in the main, within a few years of the Act's passage in 1965, as the gap in black-white voter turnout narrowed dramatically. In 2000, the reported black voter turnout nationwide, as a percentage of their VAP, was 53.5 percent; for non-Hispanic whites, it was 60.4. The percentage of blacks who reported voting nationwide in 2000 was thus almost as high as the percentage of blacks registered in 1964— 58.5 percent.318 While efforts to depress the black vote in the South and elsewhere have continued into the twenty-first century, the relatively high black turnout rate is a measure of the Act's success.319

The attack on black vote dilution—and on minority vote dilution generally, as the Act's purview expanded to include Latinos, Indians, Alaska Natives, and Asian Americans—was slower to gain force. Although both Sections 5 and 2 were used early on by the Department of Justice and private plaintiffs to dismantle dilutive structures not only in the South but around the nation, the battle has been lengthy, and the most dramatic manifestations of it— redistricting—continue to be fought at least once a decade, given the widespread persistence of racially polarized voting. This is not to deny that dramatic progress has been made on this front as well. However, the battle is far from over, and many knowledgeable observers and participants have expressed the belief that congressional failure to renew Section 5, a major bulwark against both disfranchisement and vote dilution, would be a serious step backward. Testimony at the Commission's national hearings in 2005 addressed both problems.

Although I am not against voter IDs, I was against them being pushed through right in front of the election..Time to work on that is now....As far as affirmative action, I wouldn't want it abolished, but the whole idea should be revisited ...as far as redistricting....I think that is always for the wrong reasons LOL
