Epic bias from Salon

Kennedy, in 1960? Come now, that was a different era and I'm quite sure the fraud was by people involved in the counting, or otherwise massively stuffing the ballot boxes, something a photo ID doesn't deter.

So what if it was in a different era? The question was raised as to wther fraud ever made a difference, and the Democrats were against voter ID then as now.
I'm referring to documented cases of impersonation fraud at the polls - about 5 cases in Tennessee over years, of millions of votes cast. That is the definition of trivial. Certainly, forcing several hundred thousand Tennesseans to get new ID to vote is overkill to prevent 5 cases of 'voter fraud.'

There has been a great more than five cases in election fraud and remember these are only the convictions. There have been many cases where it was too difficult to prove who was guilty, as with hundreds of dead people voting, to get a conviction.
I've done it several times already. You're just trying hard to not see it.

The usual argument that some voters in rural areas will be inconvenienced or that it is 'racist'. Of course this is an excuse, and not a reason at all for not having voter ID.
Do they? What's the count of democrats versus republicans accused of voting related fraud?

There has been talk of voter fraud by Republicans in Florida. Perhaps you can do some research yourself. I've discovered many cases involving Democrats and it seems clear opportunities for more fraud is their motive in not wanting voter ID, even though you need it in some areas to buy spray paint.

Wrong. The big cities of the south, especially Texas, are absolutely booming.

So is Arizona, so is Oregon, so is Idaho, so is Utah.

Are they in the South?

I'm sorry that your argument failed, but it's not my duty to fix it for you (especially when, it reality, it can't be fixed).

The coordinated election-fixing is being done as nationwide policy by Republican legislators, politicians/officials, and the lobbyists that fund them, via disenfranchisement legislation and tactics (voter roll purges), both currently and historically (as evidenced by the Salon article, which no one has managed to debunk beyond ignorant ad hominems). Everyone knows this... including the Republicans.

I'm sure you believe this but this is not evidence.

I'm sure that you believe it too, so any evidence beyond that already provided in this thread would be superfluous :)
