Maybe its because you dont understand how attempted voter fraud works. You begin by making fake registrations. You then have people go in posed as the people on the registrations to vote. Voter ID eliminates this as a possible fraud avenue. Thats ACORN was persued as hard as it was with its faked registrations. The intent to defraud is certainly there if you begin by faking regs. Then getting extra votes is a simple matter of just getting a warm body to the polling place.
No, actually, the intent to make fraudulent votes was never present in the ACORN case. These were lazy temporary employees who figured out they could get paid to sit at the mall and fake registrations instead of having to walk around and, you know, work. Nobody showed up to the polls claiming to be Mickey Mouse.
You are confusing voter fraud convictions with actual voter fraud. Its notoriously hard to prosecute and the political pushback from doing so is significant.
Can you cite an example of "political pushback" for prosecuting voter fraud?
Does that mean you arent going trust NBC, Rueters, and CBS, each of whom has faked footage, photos or documents? Im not saying take it at face value, Im saying look at it and make your own judgements. I dont expect you to be a sheep over it.
NBC fires people who fraudulently edit footage. They are an organization. O'Keefe is an individual, a proven liar. I'm not going to watch the footage because the footage itself is immediately suspect. The footage itself is deceptive in his past cases. Take the ACORN "helping set up a brothel" footage. Reality was precisely the opposite, the house loan supposedly being sought was actually pitched as an escape from prostitution for these underage girls. That part was cut out. In another part of that video, audio was spliced so that the answer to one question was presented as the answer to a different one. Also, the guy after the discussion immediately called the police after O'Keefe left.
Why should I watch his footage?
