I care about real honest to goodness fraud...like in my original post. Republicans, though, clearly only care about rare theoretical fraud that exists only in their mind. When one of their own uses it, it shouldn't even disqualify the guy from the office he earned through fraud.

Oregon has vote by mail. Once again, the Republicans howled about the opportunity for fraud and came up with all sorts of scenarios. But, as usual with Republican ideas, they weren't associated in any way with reality. Despite years of effort, Republicans haven't been able to point to more than an isolated handful of cases.

I am a liberal. I had to pick a side. I mostly side with liberals. Although I won't defend them like you guys when I think they are wrong. I draw my line at that. I will not be a Groucho.

I can respect that, but this one is like ditto-head birther territory. You really believe that voter fraud is a big problem that requires addressing?

Every scholarly source says that it is a made up issue. It's just not happening like the GOP talking points say. With all of the real issues we're facing, voter restriction is what they're passing anyway. Get lost in this wiki for a bit. You look like you're trolling, but I'd hope you wouldn't really be a sucker for this one.

You should have to show your ID before voting.




The rest is me trolling Groucho because I know how he works.

10% of eligible American voters do not have a gov issued ID. By requiring ID, you can require ID that only certain voters will have, such as the gun permits vs school ID example I raised before. All of this for something that many studies have shown not to be a problem.

Saying that ID is required to vote sounds nice which is the only reason any of this has gained any momentum. When you realize why the conversation is even being had and how some of the policy has been implemented, it is less so. Far be it from me to try to convince you of anything though. happy trolling.

If it's a topic I'm interested in, I'm pretty easy to troll. I get to look into issues more than I ordinarily would, and mock stupidity at the same time. So, I guess it's win-win for me and the troller.

Though, it does get boring when the troller is reduced to posting "nyah-nyah" over and over.

How about when you register to vote you bring your regular proof of residency and citizenship. And leave your thumbprint.

Leave thumbprint again when voting.


Or, bring ID to avoid that.
