ORIGINAL: joether I find it amusing how the conservatives on here ALWAYS bitch about more regulations and laws. An yet, here they are, doing the exact same thing. This thread is a thinly veiled attack on the good citizens of this country. There have been three separate Voter Fraud-like threads over the past year and a half. In each one, some conservatives started off by saying we need extensive laws covering all aspects of the voter. An in each of these were all sorts of wild examples of massive voter fraud taking place. Of illegal aliens, dead people (zombies?), foreigners, and even actual aliens voting in favor of Democrats. Since if they were all voting for Republicans, not one thread would come up, right? An in each thread, not one person could establish an ounce of positive, verified, and credible evidence of actual voter fraud in any of the last four presidential or mid-term elections in all fifty states, six territories and one district. Not one of the threads could show even 1% of the total vote was voter fraud. That would have been around 1.07 million fraudulent votes in the last presidential election. Nor 0.1% (about 107K), 0.01% (about 10,700), or 0.001% (about 1,070). The last election between President Obama and Mr. Romney was settled by several million votes and many electoral college votes. Not even 1% would have changed would have changed things in favor for Mr. Romney. So why all the threads, laws, and hollering about voter fraud; when in reality there is not a credible amount? There is no profit in cheating the current system, not when the penalty when caught and found guilty is pretty damn deep. The answer is to make sure the boogyman, toothfairy, and santa claus do not vote for the Democrats. Its funny if you think about it. Conservatives are generally against the Theory of Evolution and Climate Change. Both of which have mountain ranges of evidence to back them up. Yet, when it comes to voter fraud there is not even so much as a 10 page verified, document stating voter fraud is out of control. So while conservatives fight against what the scientist believe is the best courses of action on climate change, with all this evidence; we should bow down to their demands over a concept they cant even show is even effecting this nation at a 0.001% rate, let alone 1%! I would fight any law that states I have to show my ID when I vote. Last I checked, I'm protected under the 4th amendment against illegal searches....UNLESS....there is probable cause. That probable cause comes in.....ONLY....if I'm doing something illegal. If I say who I am and where I live, that's all that needed for me to vote. If someone wishes to state that I am not who I say I am and/or where I live. Its up to them to show EVIDENCE to the police officer. I do not have to prove anything. Last I checked, this is the United States, right? A person is INNOCENT until proven guilty in a COURT OF LAW. Courts of law are NEVER inside voting stations. They have to show....EVIDENCE....of possible wrong doing to the police officer* What this is, is just an end-run-around the US Constitution, by conservatives to force their will upon all other US Citizens. *: In Massachusetts, police officers are a bit more advanced apparently (given the nature of this thread and the other three) than red state police officers. All the police officer has to do, is take out his police issued smartphone, dial up the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Ask for my name and address (which last I checked, I do not have to do for two reasons: the 4th and 5th amendment). Lets just say I comply with that information. He'll get an image of me, plus all the data (height, weight, age, and other assorted information). Thus proving I am who I say I am and most likely I live where I said I lived. THEN....I would sue the FUCK out of the idiot that challenged me! And just like all those states that ban gay marriage, those laws 'preventing' voter fraud will also be destroyed. To which I have to ask: Was it a colossal waste of TAXPAYER MONEY to push this political stunt? Yes it was! An it'll be the conservatives who are blamed once more for spending the nation's resources on another bullshit project. You bring new meaning to the word "judgmental"...or would that be two words, "judge" and "mental"?
