How to respond to talk of "voter fraud" [View all]
When they say voter fraud, it means they want:
1) *You* to have to pay for costly documents to prove your citizenship every time you vote. How much would it cost to get a certified copy of your birth certificate? How often might they require it?
They want it to COST you money to vote, because that will stop lots of people from voting.
2) *You*, if you're married or were married or for whatever reason, have a different name now than the one on your birth certificate, will HAVE TO PAY for documents attesting to that. How much will that COST you?
They want it to COST you money to vote, because that will stop lots of people from voting.
3) They want to eliminate early voting and voting-by-mail so that you have to show up on election day and wait in long lines, taking time away from your paying job, forcing you to pay for babysitters or other folks to handle your responsibilities while you wait in line to vote, lines made longer because they become the only way to vote.
They want it to COST you money to vote, because that will stop lots of people from voting.
That's what it's all about. Making you pay for something that should be free. Even if they let you do it, if it costs you money to do it, they have taken a voting right from you by making you pay to do it.
Don't let them.
