Just like leaving your doors unlocked isn't a problem until you come home one day and fight aunt Mable's broach and your new 55" Sony missing. <br /><br />Where there's something of value there are always people happy to take it. Elections have value so there are people willing to steal them. That's such an obviously true formulation that the only avenue open to lefties is to claim that no one's doing any stealing of elections so there's no need to lock the door.allen (in Michigan)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-79125213124368504382014-10-24T18:49:39.949-07:002014-10-24T18:49:39.949-07:00Jeff, where?

We have a systemic problem where people who are not here legally are accessing every aspect of our system including electing politicians that will create laws favoring their causes. Even Hillary Clinton was aware of this as far back as 2007. When Gigi Gaston made the documentary "We Will Not Be Silenced" she interviewed Democrat precinct insiders-the folks who pick up voters, goad old people into voting and who make sure to get out the vote. When you hear a selected delegates who are supposed to be bound to a candidate discuss being threatened with being removed from the delegate list, when you hear of candidates being pushed forward "by acclaim" rather than by ballot as in the DNC bylaws which happened with Obama in 2008 in Texas-there is something very dirty and underhanded going on. I live in a pretty conservative area of Denton County. But suddenly vacant rental properties have Hispanic families who come equipped with Wendy Davis campaign signs.....it just seems way too pat a method to swing a district.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-27178986248009714222014-10-24T14:05:52.469-07:002014-10-24T14:05:52.469-07:00The problem is that Republicans are actively invol...The problem is that Republicans are actively involved in campaigns (not involving voter id) that actively promote suppressing votes. That does not help.<br /><br />And the easy solution is a free National ID card for everyone. Present that at a polling place and problem solved. Of course, some Republicans balk at a national card.<br /><br />I am not one of them.

In close elections, they have lawyers at the ready to file lawsuits and to direct the recounts. Republicans have been on the sidelines, are several cycles behind, and are far less aggressive. Democrats have a by-any-means-necessary attitude which really doesn't care if it crosses the line into cheating; while Republicans, by their very nature, are more respectful of the law and procedures in place.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777983027361603449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-12676913024101107772014-10-24T05:06:07.802-07:002014-10-24T05:06:07.802-07:00As I always say ... it doesn't matter whether ...As I always say ... it doesn't matter whether or not voter fraud doesn't exist. If it doesn't cool; if it does, voter ID is at least a stumbling block. And ... given that you can vote by mail and NOT show an ID anyway? Grow up, people.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.com
