RALEIGH, N.C. -

One of the more compelling arguments for voter identification is the suppression of voter fraud. But for North Carolina, the number of cases of voter fraud reported by the state Board of Elections is minimal.

In 2012, nearly 7 million ballots were cast in the general and two primary elections. Of those 6,947,317 ballots, the state Board of Elections said 121 alleged cases of voter fraud were referred to the appropriate district attorney's office.

That means of the nearly 7 million votes cast, voter fraud accounted for 0.00174 percent of the ballots.

Looking back at the 2010 election cycle -- which was not a presidential year -- 3.79 million ballots were cast and only 28 cases of voter fraud were turned over to the appropriate DA's office.

So in 2010, voter fraud accounted for 0.000738 percent of ballots cast.

The state Board of Elections acknowledges that far more cases of voter fraud are reported each voting cycle. But the majority of those cases are deemed unfounded and never referred to the DA's office.

In an interview with NBC News's Craig Melvin in March, House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) recognized that voter fraud is a minimal issue in the state and said suppressing fraud is not the primary reason behind House Bill 589.

"We call this restoring confidence in elections," Tillis said. "There is some voter fraud, but that's not the primary reason for doing this."




In tea party code this turkey is saying: "We told so many lies about widespread voter fraud, we have to justify these lies with legislation"

 

[g5000]

I am willing to bet not one of those voter fraud cases could only have been stopped or prevented by Voter ID.

Papers! Papers, please!

Only a dimwitted, trailer park state like N.C. would spend hundreds of millions of it's tax payer dollars to flag 0.000738 percent of ballots cast looking for possible voter fraud - and not get one case of voter fraud.

 

[hjmick]

Okay, good to know...

Voter fraud is acceptable to you.

Let me ask you this, you've expressed the opinion that the numbers you're talking about are, for lack of a better term, no big deal, so at what point do you think you would have a problem with voter fraud?

I would probably kill him, but as usual you resort to stupid analogies rather than admit that your position on this is illogical and flawed.

If there was an election that was decided by 120 votes and there were 121 fraudulent votes------can you say Franken.

Doesn't REAL voter fraud traditionally come in the form of ballot box stuffing by politicians and election officials who falsify results as opposed to getting involved in the actual voting process itself?

 

[Pennywise]

It doesn't have to be widespread, just targeted and effective. Go dig up the corpse of JFK and ask him. Ask Minnesota Al Frankenstein the fuckhead thief. A mysterious box of ballots can show up in any progressive's trunk, all it takes is a phone call.

What scumbag does the OP work for? All their threads are lies and tripe.

Do you think that's why conservative Republicans restricted early voting and then put so few voting machines in districts that traditionally vote Democrat?

Early voting needs to be outlawed. Every voting district has their own election officials and it's their job to procure the proper number of voting machines for their demographics. I was not aware that republicans had control over democrat districts.

 

[tinydancer]

Why is a requirement for voter ID considered in America to be voter suppression?

South Africa mandates voter ID for all levels of government elections.

Are American minorities thought of as being so daft they can't get voter ID like third world countrymen and women can?

Is that really it? And if that is really true that the Democrats believe American minorities are that stupid that's horribly bigoted.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Do HOTELS suppress minorities??? They require ID to get a room. Do airlines suppress minorities?? Do grocery store clerks suppress minorities when requiring ID for booze and cigs?? COME ON LIBRUL Zombies.. answer the questions?

Truman? In fact, Dewey was expected to win the general election by a landslide, so most Republicans stayed home. Only 51.5 percent of the electorate voted in 1948, and Truman defeated Dewey.
• In the 1960 presidential election, ONE additional vote per precinct in Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey and Texas would have denied John F. Kennedy the presidency and put Richard M. Nixon in office eight years earlier.
• In recent years, the outcomes of many state and congressional races have been reversed as recounts have shifted a handful of votes from one candidate to another.

Or by unelected Liberal judges who throw out all the votes if results aren't according to Liberal precepts.
