Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this thread was about Voter Fraud.



It's about the unconstitutional Pennsylvania voter I.D. law. It's about voter I.D.


I guess the thread title threw me. :ph34r:


Yes it did. That's what you get for judging a thread by it's title. :P

I used the title from the article I linked.

"Pennsylvania Admits There’s No In-Person Voter Fraud that would be mitigated by Pennsylvania's unconstitutional voter I.D. law"

Would have been too long.

Why do you want me to have a back round check, Picture ID and a Waiting period to own a firearm...



Because felons and crazy people are not allowed to have guns. They are allowed (in some places) to vote.

Why do you want me to have a picture ID to fly on a airplane...



I don't.

Quote

Why do you want me to have a picture ID to buy beer and cigarettes ....



I don't.

Quote

BUT.....I should be able to walk in off the street and VOTE without a ID...



If you are on the rolls, yes. If not, no. If you don't like that, then make picture ID free and easy to obtain for everyone, and I have no problem requiring it. Oh, and don't pull bullshit like purging the rolls a couple months before an election, either.

I think your counting on voter fraud to win.....



That's as reasonable as saying you are counting on voter disenfrachisement to win.

...
There are no cases of in-person voter fraud where an I.D. would help. The State has conceded that point.



How could the State possibly know that? Did they check everyone's ID?

So, the only effect of the voter I.D. law is really to introduce more paperwork and possible glitches that will make it more difficult for hundreds of thousands of citizens to vote. There's simply no reasonable justification for the voter I.D. law in Pennsylvania.



"hundreds of thousands"? Again, how was this determined? ID check? Let's see the study. Otherwise I call BS. Get an ID!

>Voter fraud is voter disenfranchisement.

No, it's not. Having someone vote who is not eligible to vote is voter fraud. Preventing someone from voting is voter disenfranchisement.



It doesn't make much difference to a voter whether he is prevented from voting or has his vote negated by an ineligible voter's fraudulent vote. The effect is the same.

The effect is not the same. When the state prevents a person from voting they are denied their right to cast a vote.
When an inelligeble voter impersonates and votes in place of the elligible voter, the elligible voter will find out about it when they show up to vote and will be able to report it. Pennsylvania has admitted that there are no such reports to back up it's claim that their voter I.D. law is necessary to solve a problem.

In the scenario I gave, the effect is quite the same. He is not being prevented from voting. The ineligible voter is voting in addition to the eligible voter and cancelling the legal vote. Same thing as preventing the lawful voter from entering the polling place ...he's been "disenfranchised".

Yes, this is yet another way voter fraud can occur.

How will the authorities know which voter is the eligible one?

No where in the constitution does it say you need to register to vote. But people do.

And when I Register my name is Mickey Mouse. Last four of my social is 1-2-3-4. :ph34r:

Even better! Ignore everything, and just define the argument in your own terms.

"Allowing handguns is the same as allowing murder!"
"Starting a war with Iraq is the same as declaring war against your own people."

I like it.

When you put it that way - you're right! And war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. The effects are often the same, so they must be the same.



That is "registering" way up the crappy analogy meter! All of that practice is showing results.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

seems to be a presumption that they will vote exactly opposite to each other here...

The Florida GOP attack, er I mean voter purge, gives us a sense of the relative numbers of disenfranchised - well in excess of any documented fraud by at least an order of magnitude.

No matter which way the cheater votes he will cancel someone's legal vote. Why are you assuming that all the fraudsters are on one side?

Let's see.... You have voter registration fraud and then you have voter fraud....

You can play the game over and over again... Vote 10, 15, or 20 times.... No ID is all you need... To register to vote all you need is a voter drive were the person is crooked....

A Picture ID at the voting station makes voter fraud a lot less likely... It's really simple.... If you want to vote , get a ID...

killler...

Edited to add.... I have " 5 " state and federal picture ID's in my wallet at all times.... Plus " 3 " non government picture ID's....

The poll worker himself said he would let the lady vote. What prevents him from doing that?



The fact that in 94 years she apparently never got an ID and he is just following the law.

You tried to claim this was voter disenfranchisement, when really it is just simply laziness on her part. She could not be bothered to get an ID in 94 years. That is not even close to what you are trying to claim.

ALMOST, since

-(-1) = +1

Just like a tax penalty for not having health insurance has the same effect on the outcome as a tax credit for having it in the ACA.

However, in the vote case it ass-umes that there is no bias in the voting inclination of the frauds and the disenfranchised. After all, it could be the case that they reinforce each other.

So a pickpocket gets 8 forms of ID? Whee!

If that person successfully registers 10,15,20 times as you suggest, wouldn't they opt for absentee ballots rather than try to figure out how to vote 20 times without being recognized, and to save the trouble of creating 20 fake IDs?
