When investigations run by Republican-controlled legislatures fail to find the massive voter fraud so often alleged, one must wonder why the constant fixation on such a non-existent matter.
My father voted streight Republican until the day he died. Now he votes democrat.
Perhaps you should inform your progressive brethren that it's not a myth. I guess not being a progressive sheeple unqualifies me --- That's a badge of honor, ty for the compliment.
Al Franken won the race fair and square.
Make up your mind... do they have to say it "never" happens or that it "doesn't happen". One's an absolute, the other isn't an absolute.Tell you what, I'll let them know if you can find me one person who says voter fraud never happens. They actually have to say it doesn't happen.
What I found was most liberals say it's not worth mentioning, which is a lie, it happens all the time and I would venture to say in every federal election. Tell you what, next time I see a prog or lib saying it's a myth or not worth mentioning, I'll call you out to set them straight on the subject.In reality, you'll find those darn liberals usually saying it's rare, or not a problem that requires government intrusion. This should not be interpreted as indicating it doesn't happen.

Make up your mind. A myth doesn't exist, it's an absolute. Not worth mentioning isn't an absolute.

Since you didn't make a decision, which is it... "never" or "doesn't happen"?
No, my question stands but I doubt I'll get a straight answer.The question really should be: When was the last state or national election affected by voter fraud?
No, my question stands but I doubt I'll get a straight answer.
The question really should be: When was the last state or national election affected by voter fraud?
Then there is the question: How many of the proven cases of voter fraud were a result of nothing more than stupidity on the part of the voter?
and finally: Why have the Republicans used the fear of "voter fraud" to promote discriminatory laws restricting not just voters' rights but also their opportunities to vote? How does reducing the numbers of days citizens may vote reduce the chances for voter fraud?
OK, so that was more than one question.
That wasn't my question, and my question wasn't directed at you.OK - is there voter fraud? Yes.
Irrelevant - voter fraud is illegal and therefore is punishible by law. The leading premise of your question is one of a victimless crime which is moronic. Voter fraud does not need to determine an election to be illegal. Ask better questions.Now - answer my question: What/when was the last election determined by voter fraud?
Microscopic compared to what? How much money was thrown exactly? You're questions are horribly biased and have no foundation. Which fiscal conservatives? As far as I'm concerned you need to stop making statements disguised as questions or at least, provide a foundation of fact to your accusations. :lamoAnother question: Why has every investigation to date found the actual number of bad votes cast to be a microscopic fraction of all votes cast, yet the "fiscal conservatives" continue to throw money at a near non-existent problem?

TheNextEra said:Ok so if the right is sooooo concerned about voting fraud why has nothing been done to stop any voter fraud with absentee ballots?
$100 says they wont prosecute any of them because Eric Holder directed his state attorney generals not to. I may not like our executive branch too much or the leadership provided...but the judicial branch is truly corrupt to the core. I have no trust in the judicial branch at all.

When someone gets convicted in court come back and tell us all about it.
"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.
Absentee ballots are open to Democrats last I looked as well... you'll find my view is ALL voter fraud should be prosecuted and investigated. ALL voting should require an ID. ALL voting should be databased and duplicates removed, dead people removed, pets removed from voting. What I see is the left is sooooooo UN-concerned, and that begs the question .. why so unconcerned?
state attorneys general are independent of the Federal justice department. AGs are in the Executive branch not the Judicial which are the courts.
Maybe you should listen to someone else before you rant.
Like you? :lamostate attorneys general are independent of the Federal justice department. AGs are in the Executive branch not the Judicial which are the courts.

Move along. You've got nothing. Go pick your fight elsewhere. At least *try* to Google before embarrassing yourself.
Eric Holder Says State Attorneys General Do Not Have to Defend Gay Marriage Ban - ABC News
Any decisions – at any level – not to defend individual laws must be exceedingly rare. They must be reserved only for exceptional circumstances. And they must never stem merely from policy or political disagreements – hinging instead on firm constitutional grounds. But in general, I believe we must be suspicious of legal classifications based solely on sexual orientation. And we must endeavor – in all of our efforts – to uphold and advance the values that once led our forebears to declare unequivocally that all are created equal and entitled to equal opportunity.
That's great that YOU want to investigate ALL voter fraud, the fact is the majority of the right doesn't or it would be done with absentee ballot voting as well. YOU can say all you like, the right doesn't investigate it when it comes to absentee voting. It's quite hypocritical from those on the right.
As somebody else accurately pointed out, we always get these allegations but when it comes to actual prosecution and conviction of these felons, there is nothing. Because that's all they are - allegations. Let's see a story of large numbers of people actually convicted of voter fraud. Allegations are easy to make. Convictions - which require actual evidence before a judge and/or a jury - are a lot less common, because most of the allegations are pure bull****.
