quote: ORIGINAL: JeffBC quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD You live in Chicago and deny voter and election fraud? You got to be kidding. And yet I was just reading a rather scholarly paper on the topic yesterday (for this thread) where it said something to the effect of... "Despite the lurid tales of voter and election fraud in Chicago...." This is one of those things where I want facts. I'm open to them but so far have seen nothing that would indicate a problem worth more than casual investment of money and effort. And I still want to know why you seem unconcerned that multiple states worth of votes are going to a bunch of servers somewhere where they are being tallied in a black box and then "results" are being given to us. Good lord those folks could say anything at all. This is like worrying about a grill fire as the raging forest fire sweeps down around your house. Apparently there has been miscommunication. possibly do to some lack of clarity on my part, my focus was on the subject of the OP. I have never said that wasn't a problem. All forms of voter/election fraud need to be attacked. The thread is , in theory, about voter fraud so that has been my focus. Fraud is fraud whether it is one vote or one million it is an attempt to corrupt and undermine elections. All forms of fraud should be fought, this is why I opposed electronic voting machines from day one they make fraud so much easier.

Of course dc both are a problem... but with voter fraud the rules are so lax that it is impossible, in my view, to get a true count. After the fact it was found there were far more than 10 just in East St. Louis alone in one election...Investigators found many moved voters and dead ones that had voted. Myself I wonder why folks are so against something when they don't know if it will be a problem or not unless it is tried. Damn things can be changed and altered if problems arise. Butch

Here on CM Bama those against ID's I believe have valid reasons for being against them...I just think their fears are unfounded in reality. I hope we address this thread in the future when and if ID's become mainstream and see if the fears are valid. If it were found that ID laws were having an adverse effect on particular groups of voters then I would be for changes that accommodate them. Butch

I'm sure all the liberals here will agree to that justification.

It would be nice if we all agreed as to the necessity for ID,s but that will not happen. The fact that the majority of voters in many states think it is necessary should be enough that the minority take a lets see what happens attitude. Instead of accusing everyone for ID's of being right wing conservative racists. It is simply not true. Butch

Doubt that anyone on here is a political boss engaged in these "games" And of course adjustments would be in order for any unfair hardships. The idea is to make elections more fair and "pristine".

B if we follow your idea then each person will need permission from the federal government each time they go to vote, you really want that. C you do need to show id to buy a gun

When someone commits voter fraud they may get away with it and no one will notice. Just sayin'.

I'm in favor of requiring ID's. I'm also in favor of installing a policy that helps people get the necessary ID (and required documents, if necessary). IMO, State ID cards should be free, and should have to be renewed every X years (renewals would also be free).

The law would have to be crafted to avoid realistic problems we were talking about problems that developed in spite of this. It is beneath you to equate disagreement with ignorance.

Most of the claimed problems are presumptions that it will put a burden on the poor without looking at or caring about the details. Alabama has had voter Id for several years and we haven't had the problems imagined by opponents. And still Alabama is working to make it easier for the poor. Maybe the rest of the country (in what would be a great stroke of irony) follow Alabama's lead in fighting voter fraud while protecting voters rights. The argument that voter Id bullies minorities into not voting haven't observed a voting place in Alabama.
