So would you support capital punishment for people who commit voter fraud?

Please explain why or why not.
 
I think those who do voter fraud have their electoral rights removed and spend up to 1 year in prison. But the electoral rights removal part is for life.

I disapprove of the death penalty universally, for anything, except treason or high treason.
 
Would having to produce an valid ID be a better first step? :roll:
 
Capital punishment for voter fraud seems just a bit harsh.:lol: There should be huge fines and jail time though to put an end to this. A law without consequences is worthless.
To put an end to what?
 
Some people who are against voter ID laws is because voting is so important. Using that same logic, if voting is so important, then voter fraud should have serious consequences. Death penalty? No.

There is no evidence of any considerable voter fraud. While voter fraud should be investigated and harsh penalties applied(but not the death penalty, that is just ****ing stupid), there is no evidence that there is any significant "this" to put an end to. It certainly did not have any effect on the past election, or the one before, or the one before that, and so on.

It looks like the states handle voter fraud from what I can see, with differing penalties for each state. First result from Google I found from a state: Voter Fraud

The criminal penalty for fraudulently voting when not legally qualified or for voting more than once when qualified is a fine of $300 to $500, one to two years in prison, and disenfranchisement. Anyone who votes or attempts to vote by assuming the name of another is subject to a fine of $500, one year in prison, and disenfranchisement (CGS § 9-360).

Other types of fraudulent voting violations carry stiffer penalties. Voting in violation of absentee ballot laws is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000, up to five years in prison, or both (CGS §9-359). The same penalty applies to anyone who votes or refuses to vote in consideration of anything of value (CGS §§ 9-333x and 9-333y)). With respect to the latter offense, the commission can also (1) impose a civil penalty of $2,000 per offense or twice the amount of any improper payment or contribution, whichever is greater; (2) issue an order for the recipient to return the item of value; (3) issue an order revoking the intentional violators' eligibility to be appointed or serve as an election, primary, or referendum official or unofficial checker or in any capacity at the polls (CGS § 9-7b(2) and (3)).

So disenfranchisement is done by at least some states.

Usually because it doesn't get caught.

Do you have anything from some place not bat**** insane?

I disagree and have posted links here before on voter fraud cases but if you don't think there is any significant amount of fraud why would you be against very stiff penalty's for it?

Did you actually watch the video, or did you see the site name and immediately snap your mind shut? No, that place is not bat**** insane. Watch the vid, then tell me that none of it makes any semblance of sense. Even if it were completely insane, the vid is 4 min long, not a hardship regardless of bias.



Here's the vid from youtube. Maybe you'll find this site more palatable.

You apparently missed where I stated I supported investigation of claims and stiff penalties...

Can you point to one election with any significant voter fraud? Any election where the result would have changed?

Seems a bit harsh, don't you think? Even actual murderers don't get the death penalty all the time.
 
The death penalty would be too harsh for voter fraud. I say a year in jail and no voting or political/pac donations for 5 years including those who conspire to commit voter fraud but presently hide behind others who they get to do the dirty work. Voter registration fraud should also be defined as criminal, where now to my understanding its perfectly legal now until someone actually tries to vote fraudulently and then only the actual voter.

I disapprove of the death penalty except for premeditated murder, acts of violence where inflicting permanent disability or disfiguring was deliberate and forcible rape.

Once again, if you think voter fraud is so negligible why are you against stiff penalty's for it? Having a penalty behind a law cost nothing.

OK, let me slow this down for you since apparently reading is hard: I am not against stiff penalties and have already, twice in this thread, advocated for stiff penalties. Why are you having so much trouble with this?

Why would I waste my valuable time watching a video from a bat**** insane source? By the way, youtube videos are not what would be called reliable or accurate sources of information either. The people who posted this video also posted one called "Campus Censorship and the End of America". Can't imagine why I do not consider them reliable...
 
I only support the death penalty in cases where a life was taken. No lives are taken with voter fraud.

First of all, Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate. You misread it in the first place and proceeded to say that it must be full of sh*t. And you would waste your valuable time making sure you are right in the first place instead of looking like and idiot talking about a video you have never seen and a site you have never been to. You presented a statement that said there basically was no voter fraud, so I showed a video with the opposite argument and you pretty much said "I'm right no matter what you say because I don't like your source."

I did in fact go to the site. That was how I knew it was bat**** insane. I quoted the title of the video exactly as it appeared in my web browser. I never said there was "basically no voter fraud". I never said "I am right no matter what...". Well done, wrong on every count!

If I missed the part where you advocated for stiff penalties I withdraw my statement. I just don't have time to read all post in all threads. No need for you to be insulting though.

Please explain why or why not.

If I have to even explain why I think this is stupid, there is no point in even talking about it.
