I guess I agree with the bastard about something.

There should be maximum penalties for voter fraud.

1. "Voter fraud" is practically nonexistent.

You do understand that, right?

2. You mean by Democrats, right? n/y

[SMC22307]

3. Don't confuse "voter fraud" with "election fraud."

That shit won't fly on DU.

4. ???

seriously?

5. Actual voter fraud is nearly nonexistant.

But red states like to harp on it and try to use it as justification for extremely tight voter laws that make it hard for minorities to vote...even though there's no proof that fraud of any sort of significance is actually a thing.

6. "There's no real evidence of it anywhere."

Report: Trump commission did not find widespread voter fraud
By MARINA VILLENEUVE August 3, 2018

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud, according to an analysis of administration documents released Friday.

In a letter to Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who are both Republicans and led the commission, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap said the documents show there was a “pre-ordained outcome” and that drafts of a commission report included a section on evidence of voter fraud that was “glaringly empty.”

“It’s calling into the darkness, looking for voter fraud,” Dunlap, a Democrat, told The Associated Press. “There’s no real evidence of it anywhere.”

Republican President Donald Trump convened the commission to investigate the 2016 presidential election after making unsubstantiated claims that between 3 million and 5 million ballots were illegally cast. Critics, including Dunlap, reject his claims of widespread voter fraud.

8. But zero penalty for autopsying someone alive until they die.

9. He and his Gestapo can begin w/Kemp in Georgia.

Fraud against voters is most reprehensible.

12. Or Putin,

or the gal they just indicted. Her name is so long I couldn't spell it if I could.

10. Could start by arresting those criminals in Georgia

for vote tampering.

11. Except it's their side that is committing the fraud and rigging elections.

13. Don't you guys get it?

This will be the legal handle for attempts to invalidate Democratic Party victories in close races.

14. Yes, he was bellyaching about a "rigged" election in 2016

BEFORE the election took place so he could set up an argument that Clinton wasn't a legitimate president when she won (as was expected...even by him.)
