Okeefe offered ballots 20 times in NC with no ID Oh there's no such thing as voter fraud riiiiight!

[Dad2three]

1) Go to DMV
2) Order pic ID
3) Pay small surcharge
4) Show up at polls and vote.
5) Happy Now

Could not be easier........you'd think these people were being asked to lug a large bird bath across the state!!! Only phonies would advocate for being against voter id laws. Total gayness.



People could only be against this if they wanted to ensure the election is rigged.

WHY WOULD THEY IMPERSONATE ANOTHER VOTER? THE ONLY THING VOTER ID'S STOP? BESIDES VOTER TURNOUT? lol

Voter ID with photo could easily be produced using a cell phone at the time of registration. The entire form with a facial photo could be electronically transmitted to any other device or devices...such as voter registration data storage/retrieval systems capable of being accessed by work stations at the polling locations.

The government spends billions of dollars on pork and welfare, but cannot afford the simplicity of the above plan to prevent voter fraud?

I bet the GOP has dozens of bills doing this in the states right? Oh wait no, they ONLY have dozens of voter ID suppression laws!

It's not suppression when it's offered for FREE. We hire people to take census. Hire some to visit those who simply cannot afford to go to the DMV, let them take a face picture, have the subject sign a form, email the form with picture to the DMV...go to the next house that requested a free photo ID. What is suppressing about that?

Got a LINK to the GOP's proposal ANYWHERE to do that? ANYWHERE? lol

The Challenge of Obtaining Voter Identification


The 11 percent of eligible voters who lack the required photo ID must travel to a designated government office to obtain one. Yet many citizens will have trouble making this trip. In the 10 states with restrictive voter ID laws:

• Nearly 500,000 eligible voters do not have access to a vehicle and live more than 10 miles from the nearest state ID-issuing office open more than two days a week. Many of them live in rural areas with dwindling public transportation options.
• 
  
• More than 10 million eligible voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest state ID-issuing office open more than two days a week.
• 
  
• 1.2 million eligible black voters and 500,000 eligible Hispanic voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest ID-issuing office open more than two days a week. People of color are more likely to be disenfranchised by these laws since they are less likely to have photo ID than the general population.
• 
  
• Many ID-issuing offices maintain limited business hours.

Okay, so voter fraud does exist.

So NO, you can't differentiate between voter REGISTRATION fraud and other frauds, when the GOP war on voting is ONLY concerned with voter suppression with voter ID laws, which ONLY stops voter impersonation at the poll, almost zero of that having happened!

The first case of voter fraud in New Mexico this election has been confirmed by the Rio Arriba County Clerk's Office.

According to the Rio Arriba County Clerk's office, a voter trying to cast an early ballot in Espanola Saturday was told he had already voted three days prior.

The man told poll workers he hadn't voted. He was then shown the signature of the voter, but he says it wasn't his signature.

Officials say they were able to confirm that the signature on the original ballot did not match the legal voter's signature on file.

Poll workers allowed the man to vote on a provisional ballot, but election officials will have to determine whether the provisional ballot can be counted. Elections officials have no legal means of actually verifying signatures or confirming identification of a voter.

"The poll workers and the Rio Arriba County Clerk’s office did a good job in responding to the situation, following all the procedures available to them," said Bobbi Shearer of the Secretary of State’s office Saturday, "I have nothing, but praise for their efforts to try to ensure integrity in the election. It is just that under current law there are no means available to poll workers to help them determine if a voter is actually the person he says he is."

Shearer said the fraudulent voter's vote has already gone through a tabulator and cannot be identified or separated from all the legitimate ballots in the machine.

Rio Arriba County also fell under scrutiny just two years ago when campaign workers were caught offering alchol to voters.

If voters have any concerns or wish to report an irregularity of any kind, they are encouraged to call the Secretary of State’s office: 1-800-477-3632.

ONE case proves the need to restrict the millions of others right? lol


In-person voter-impersonation fraud is rare. The database shows 207 cases of other types of fraud for every case of voter impersonation. “The fraud that matters is the fraud that is organized. That's why voter impersonation is practically non-existent because it is difficult to do and it is difficult to pull people into conspiracies to do it,”

New database of US voter fraud finds no evidence that photo ID laws are needed - Investigations

You are against strengthening the integrity of American elections based solely off partisan hyperbole that showing an ID is 'voter suppression', even though you cannot show any evidence of that occurring in the states that enacted and enforced voter ID. You would rather leave open vulnerabilities within our election process, because in instance after instance it is Democrats that benefit from having ineligible voters participating. 1,000's of ineligible felons gave Al Franken his Senate seat.

Maybe it will be enough to keep the Senate, keep you fingers crossed.

Local North Carolina state news from Raleigh NC NewsObserver.com

NORTH CAROLINA HAS NO LEGAL WAY OF IDENTIFYING VOTERS....

RALEIGH — North Carolina elections officials told state lawmakers Wednesday that they have identified hundreds, and potentially thousands, of voters who may have cast ballots in two states in the 2012 general election.

Republican legislators on an elections oversight committee quickly reacted, calling the number of possible voter fraud cases “shocking,” “outrageous” and “proof positive” that fraud is occurring in North Carolina elections. They called on elections officials to investigate all possible fraud and refer potential criminal cases for prosecution. Double voting is a felony.

“That is outrageous. That is criminal. That is wrong, and it shouldn’t be allowed to go any further without substantial investigations from our local district attorneys who are the ones charged with enforcing these laws,” said Sen. Thom Goolsby, a Wilmington Republican.

Others urged caution until more information about the numbers comes to light.

The numbers of potential voter fraud cases revealed Wednesday were gleaned from a cross-checking of voter records among 28 states. It was the first time North Carolina participated in the cross-check process, which was required under sweeping new election laws passed last year by the Republican-controlled General Assembly.

Specifically, the check found 765 voters whose first and last names, dates of birth and last four digits of their Social Security numbers matched exactly with a voter registered in another state and who voted in both states in 2012. The results also identified 35,750 voters with matching names and dates of birth who voted in North Carolina and another state that year.

Accurate voting rolls needed

Kim Strach, executive director of the State Board of Elections, said her office is investigating the results of the cross-check and knows the identities of the potential offenders. Where there’s evidence that a crime was committed, it will be referred to prosecutors, she said. “We have to ensure that is what happened, and it wasn’t an error on someone’s part,” Strach said.

Strach said the cases could be voter fraud or mistakes made at polling places by precinct officials who attributed votes to the wrong people. Many voters remain on voter rolls after they move to other states, die or otherwise stop voting, and Strach said that increases the potential for mistakes. She stressed the importance of accurate voter rolls. “Even if it’s not voter fraud, a precinct official shouldn’t have the opportunity to choose this person and attribute a vote to them,” Strach said.

Bob Hall of the liberal watchdog group Democracy North Carolina said the public shouldn’t jump to conclusions until more details about the numbers are known. Hall said election investigators have repeatedly found poll worker errors and other explanations in cases that first appeared to be dead people voting or residents of other states casting ballots in North Carolina.

“There may be cases of fraud, but the true scale and conspiracy involved need to be examined more closely before those with political agendas claim they’ve proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” Hall said.

He added that duplicate names don’t automatically signal fraud. “I know there is more than one Bob Hall with my birth date who lives among the 28 states researched,” he said. “For all we know, there may be 35,000 legitimate name and birthday matches.”

Death audit

Rep. David Lewis, a Dunn Republican and co-chairman of the Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committee, suggested that the evidence of voter fraud is strong – at least among the 765 voters.

“I am very concerned that it would certainly appear to a logical person or reasonable person looking at it that if the person has the exact same name, exact same birthdate and the last four Social Security number, they are almost certainly the same person,” he said. “But again, in this country, of course, you’re not guilty until proven that way.”

Strach also told lawmakers that a recent “10-year death audit” identified more than 13,400 dead people on voter rolls in October – they have since been removed – and that in about 50 instances, votes were attributed to dead people. The board is investigating to determine whether those cases were precinct mistakes or people fraudulently voting under the names of dead people, she said. Strach stressed that those cases could stem from errors made by precincts, caused by deceased former voters remaining on voter rolls.

“We have a vulnerability with our voter rolls when we have people on there that should not be on there,” she said.

Republicans seized the opportunity to claim that the new information was proof that last year’s legislation requiring voters to present identification before voting was the right decision. The requirement begins in 2016.

Claude Pope, N.C. Republican Party chairman, said the potential fraud “represents a significant threat” to election integrity and applauded General Assembly Republicans for passing the voter ID law and “working to protect the integrity of the ballot box.”

Lawmakers also discussed whether the names of voters who appeared to vote twice should be considered public records. Strach said they weren’t because they are part of a criminal investigation. But lawmakers said they wanted the information to be public and suggested they would draft legislation if necessary.

“I’ve always found the best way to expose corruption is to bring daylight to it,” said Rep. Tim Moore, a Cleveland County Republican.

Only a conservative would try to break voting laws..

Only a liberal would give amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants and register them to vote.

Ronnie was the one giving amnesty. Weird though the GOP had Congress most of the past 20 years, why didn't they stop it?

I wonder as well.

Well you know the Republicans always want a police state where everyone must have their papers in order. All rights come from what the government police will allow you to do unless you are a rich accredited investor or earning carried interest, then those rules don't apply.

"Okeefe offered ballots 20 times in NC with no ID Oh there's no such thing as voter fraud riiiiight!"

This fails as a hasty generalization fallacy, there is no evidence that this isolated incident is occurring elsewhere to the extent that the outcome of any election is changed.

Moreover, no one ever said that isolated incidents of fraud might not occur; rather, incidents of fraud are so rare – fraud by identity in particular – that measures such as voter ID laws are not warranted, and manifest an undue burden to the right to vote.

As I told her earlier today, you don't NEED an ID to vote in Carolina. Her article notes the same thing.

Anyone can get a ballot. I can see one online right now. It's *casting a vote* on that ballot that would be problematic. And as the article also notes, O'Keefe didn't get to do that.

TD was drawn in by a deliberately misleading headline --written that way to sell papers -- and apparently didn't bother to read her own aritcle.

 

[rightwinger]

Did O'Keefe provide a signature?

That is how his ID is verified

I didn't think so

How the hell does a signature verify your ID without a sample to compare it against you fucking retard

Where I vote, a sample of your signature is on the registration book

 

[rightwinger]

O'Keefe was never given a ballot to vote on because he never signed for it

Far from voter fraud. Shows the system worked

No, it shows he has enough sense not to violate election law when offered the chance.

Since so many are being bribed into voting with offers of free cigarettes and such, most won't worry about the law.

Even though this is a problem, the real problem is those who work with elections and have access to perfectly legal, unused ballots. There is nothing from stopping them from filling them out and casting votes on behalf of the millions of people across the country who don't ever vote themselves. Maybe Dems would agree to stopping Motor Voter registration in lieu of Voter ID. Since they claim minorities don't get driver's licenses or IDs, it won't affect them. Only those who intend to vote will bother to register and eliminate millions of ballots that can easily be used by other people. That is where the real cheating is and Dems know it. We need to get serious about keeping our voting system honest and no one should have a problem doing that unless they benefit from a system that allows fraud to continue undetected.

Free cigarettes?

Neel Kashkari, a former U.S. Treasury official who is challenging popular Democratic Governor Jerry Brown in the lopsidedly Democratic state, is offering the incentives as his campaign trails Brown's by double digits in the weeks before November's election.

10 miles huh. I guess none of these people get to walmarts or the hospitals or the banks to cash their pay checks. And there is not one mention of poor white people, seems racist to me. I bet you everyone of these poor people has a cellphone. I wonder how much that costs, hmmmmmm. More than a birth certificate and marriage license I bet. Why is it that any citizen has to have different criteria to vote, like poor people get special treatment, I don't think so. Wonder if they could find a ride to pick up their welfare checks and food stamps, bet they do. Another false premise supporting a bogus argument.

As usual the shrimp has a solution to this problem. You know how we have blood mobiles? Just go with the vote mobiles. Just stop the fraud of only democratic voters being denied their rights to vote. Oh yeah don't forget Georgia voter I'd has actually increased voter turnout.

[Shrimpbox]

Disenfranchising voters never is mentioned in any of these articles, not once does anyone say that a black person should not be allowed to vote. Liberal spin. When democratic strategies want to have month long early voting only to have more time to herd people to the polls, people who would probably of their own initiative not vote, a republican strategy to counter artificial voting is only common sense.

I don't pay any attention to operatives talking about voter fraud, I am all ears to an individual who said he or she jumped through all the hoops and was not allowed to vote. If someone really wants to vote in this country there is nothing to stop them.
