REPORT: In 22 Statehouses Across the Country, Conservatives Move to Disenfranchise Voters
   
REPORT: In 22 Statehouses Across the Country, Conservatives Move to Disenfranchise Voters

In statehouses across the country, Republican lawmakers are raising the specter of “voter fraud” to push through legislation that would dramatically restrict the voting rights of college students, rural voters, senior citizens, the disabled and the homeless. As part of their larger effort to silence Main Street, conservatives are pushing through new photo identification laws that would exclude millions from voting, depress Hispanic voter turnout by as much as 10 percent, and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. In the next few months, a new set of election laws could make going to the polls and registering to vote significantly more difficult — in some cases even barring groups of citizens from voting in the communities where they live.

Conservative legislators across the country have said these laws are necessary to combat alleged mass voter fraud. But these fears are completely overblown and states already have tough voting laws on the books: fraudulent voters face felony charges, hefty fines, and even lengthy prison time. In Missouri, for example, voter fraud carries a penalty of no less than 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Yet conservatives have insisted on finding a legislative solution to a non-existent problem. In states like Indiana, where an ID law passed in 2005, both nuns and college students have found themselves turned away from the polls. Similar laws are on the books in eight other states and that number could expand dramatically in coming months. ThinkProgress examined these efforts in eight states:

2. The only voter fraud I've heard of was by the GOP...what did they call it?
   
Flipping? Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall that. Hmmmm!

You might have seen something like that on DU, DailyKKKos or something with no links to valid sources.

Voter fraud is always the lefts way.

We need to spread the rumor that republicans are voting using other people's names. Then all of a sudden DU will be all for ID checks.

This primitive is being a bald-faced liar, and knows it.

The history of the Democrat party since Aaron Burr during Jeffersonian times has been nothing but a history of election fraud.

Probably when the last chapter is written on this republic, historians will agree that the Democrat party was the most insidious, most corrupt, institution in American history, surpassing even organized crime and the slave trade.

Considering how demonstrable it is that the Dhimmi'Rats have had their pudgy little fingers buried to the second knuckle in both the slave trade AND organized crime, orchestrating both to personal and political gain, I fail to see how any honest review of history could possibly come to any other conclusion, Frank.

They don't report the ACORN voter fraud in HuffPo or MSNBC, ergo the DUmbshit never heard of it.

As long as states allow absentee ballots to the obese, lazy, drug addicted, voter fraud will continue. At one time, a valid reason was needed for a absentee ballot. I would bet there were millions of ballots filled out and sent in by other than the named voter.

Along with "early voting". 

It's called Election DAY for a reason.  Get your sorry ass up and go vote!  I'll mean more to you to GO vote than calling a clerk and having the vote come to you in the mail.

Yeah, I like election day, the excitement, the coming together as a country. Getting the little sticker that said I voted...... :-)

Picture ID's required for voting, the use of certified absentee ballots and the Democrats will never win another national election.
