Is Voter Fraud Rampant?

[Solus]

I like the "None of the above" ballot entry....have wished for one since Nixon and McGovern back in 1972.

Not so sure about encouraging anyone to go vote.

My thinking is that if they don't care enough to go on their own, they don't care enough to understand the issues or the candidates.   They are likely to just vote on the recommendations of the group that pushed them into it.



Also, the Dick Daley method should be   "Vote early, often and forever."    Can't leave out the deceased.

They're not deceased.  They're die-hard Democrats! 

Loyal as hell, that group.

.. but a few thousand bogus ballots are peanuts compared to the millions of ballots never cast.

Washington State's governer was decided by voter fraud in King County 6 or 8 years ago, John Ashcroft lost his bid for reelection due to voter fraud.  The state of Oregon has a 75% participation rate but we vote by mail and its riddled with fraud.  How can any outsider overcome voter fraud like we have in Oregon?  The Tea Party has hardly made a dent locally dispite the huge swing in Congress this past election.
From a thousand feet it may look insignificant but when elections are decided by less than 250 votes it matters.

And it isn't just a few thousand votes.  It was 2800 in one state and that was just the ones they knew.

And I don't thinks this practice is going to peter out.....it will be growing as large as they will allow.   Hang anyone convicted of voter fraud, and don't use laws that require them to confess, and the problem will be stopped, if by no other way than by attrition.

Good stuff, thanks Tom.

No way, you read history instead of doing algebra?  I just did it all at school so I didn't have to do it at home, I HATED homework (in fact I'm suppose to be doing it right now, don't tell my wife  ).

The battle of Athens reminded me of a movie as I read it, Roadhouse anyone?

I read the Iliad and the Oddessy  (f*cking Spellcheck letting me down  here )   for fun, and did a Book report on Solzhenityn's "Gulag Archipelago" , all 3 volumes   
I'd stay up till 3 AM reading, cram to get the homework done, then skip school the next day cuz you have to sleep sometime.

Roadhouse was the Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliot one. Walking Tall was pretty much the same idea.
 Corrupt Southern Sheriffs were a popular subject, look at "Dukes of Hazzard"
