rushmc 23 #1 June 9, 2017 QuoteTwelve employees of an Indiana group tied to former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and former President Bill Clinton were charged Friday for allegedly submitting fake or fraudulent voter registration applications before the 2016 presidential election. The Indiana Voter Registration Project, an Indiana-based group focused on mobilizing and registering black voters, allegedly submitted an unknown number of falsified applications, according to a probable cause affidavit. Eleven canvassers temporarily employed by the group were charged by Marion County prosecutors, along with their supervisor Holiday Burke -- with one count each of procuring or submitting voter registration applications known to be “false, fictitious, or fraudulent.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/09/canvassers-for-dem-tied-group-charged-in-voter-registration-fraud-scheme.html"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

SkyDekker 1,465 #2 June 9, 2017 You may want to read the whole article: Marion County prosecutor Terry Curry, a Democrat, said the police investigation found no evidence of voter fraud or voter suppression and that the charges against the workers came from “a very bad, ill-advised business practice” of setting a quota for canvassers. “We do not believe this was a widespread effort to infringe voters, intentionally register ineligible individuals, or to impact the election," Curry said. "Instead we allege that a bad business practice led to illegal actions by the local association and these twelve individuals." The search warrant, unsealed on Nov. 14, 2016, said some workers admitted to falsifying registrations, but for fear of potentially losing their temporary jobs as canvassers if they didn’t register at least 10 new voters a day. and lastly: President Trump for months has suggested there could have been widespread voter fraud in the last election -- though to date, most public cases have involved voter registration fraud.

billvon 2,995 #3 June 9, 2017 Let's look at some real world examples. Jan 2016, NH voter Derek Castonguay pled guilty to voter fraud. Registered in two towns. Republican. Feb 2016, Robert Monroe (Wisconsin) jailed on 13 counts of voter fraud. He voted multiple times in the Scott Walker election. Republican. 2014, Leslie Rutledge (Arkansas attorney general) registered to vote in DC, Arkansas and Virginia. Republican. 2014, Nancy Myalls, candidate for General Assembly in Illinois, voted in Illinois and Wisconsin. Republican. January 2013, Roxanne Rubin pled guilty for voting multiple times in the 2012 election. Her excuse - "just testing." Republican. 2012, John Enright, candidate for office in Arizona, had to withdraw because he'd been sending in absentee votes for his dead girlfriend. Republican. ============= Now, how about the 2016 election? After all Trump's claims of millions of illegal votes, they found . . .four. They are: Phillip Cook. Voted twice. Said he worked for the Trump campaign. He claimed he was "just testing." Terri Lynn Rote. Voted twice - for Trump. Audrey Cook, a Republican election judge, sent in her dead husband's absentee ballot - for Trump. Gladys Coego. She was working in the election office and tried to fill in absentee ballots for the mayoral candidate. Did not affect presidential election. So of the four cases of voter fraud proven during the 2016 election, three were republicans breaking the law to try to vote more often for Trump, and the fourth didn't affect the presidential election at all. No wonder you hate facts so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder you hate facts so much. Not to mention counting as "opportunity for fraud" many more people registered in more than one state -- like Ivanka Trump. Doesn't mean they VOTED in two states' elections, and therefore are not guilty of fraud, but interesting double standard all the same.See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

jclalor 12 #9 June 13, 2017 The irony of the GOP being so sanctimonious on the voting process and possible voter fraud . Yet they seem not to give a flying fuck about Russian envolvmen in our voting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #10 June 14, 2017 jclalorThe irony of the GOP being so sanctimonious on the voting process and possible voter fraud . Yet they seem not to give a flying fuck about Russian involvement in our voting. Well, the "voter fraud" (that really doesn't exist) gives them an excuse to disenfranchise minorities, the poor and the elderly. It's been pretty clearly shown that they do this to reduce the votes for the other side. OTOH, the "Russian Involvement" gave them votes. It helped them win. They seem to be in favor of anything that helps them win. Billvon's post in a different thread summed it up fairly well."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

JoeWeber 2,720 #12 August 1, 2017 Mark, I know I'm not allowed to call you a douchebag or a moron so I won't. It's not because you aren't it's because there are rules here that we all must follow. Just to get that out of the way. But I'm curious, is it a lonely dark room where you create the anti-grammatical nonsense that you post or are you the social media lead for a secret nincompoop society? Either way, Kudos for your ability to make actually intelligent people engage. Well done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
