I think even ONE instance of voter fraud is a major issue! If just ONE person votes illegally, they have disenfranchised a United States citizen! So yes, seeing some of the videos of ballot harvesting where they tell elderly people who to vote for, or worse get them to sign blank ballots and fill them out themselves, is very disheartening! I think that we need Voter Identification to verify that the person voting is the person they say they are! How can ANY election ever be considered legitimate, if nobody knows WHO is even voting! I'm so sick of hearing that requiring an ID is racist, as if to say African and Hispanic Americans don’t know how to get an ID, when you need an ID to friggin register to vote! You need ID to work, you need ID to cash a check, you need ID to claim welfare benefits! You need ID to rent an apartment… hell, you can’t function in our modern society without an identification card, but you can VOTE? Also, simply mailing ballots to every registered voter is just inviting fraud, because every year millions of people move, and your voter registration is probably the LAST thing you think of during a stressful move! Hell, I’ve lived here for 10 months, and I STILL haven’t changed my voter registration! So yes I think there are major issues with the voting system, I hate that there is NO paper trail, if the voting machine I voted on crashes, there is ZERO record my vote even happened! I totally understand that we save MILLIONS by not needing to hand count ballots, so use a machine, but have a paper backup! I have a friend who has lived in Saint Lucie county for 3 years, and they fill out a paper ballot, and then THEY insert it into the scanner so their vote is counted electronically instantly, BUT if there are any problems, they still have that paper record… AND in Florida, you need to show an ID and always have! Yet minorities outnumber whites in every election, so don’t give me that BS soft bigotry of low expectations, that minorities can’t get any ID!
I believe it should be one vote per eligible person so any person voting more than once is not acceptable I don't care what side is doing it I'm quite frankly I'm sure both parties are guilty of such things. We all have a voice we should be voting and counting each eligible person ONLY ONCE.
I believe these voter machines can't be trusted and they vote for the wrong candidate look how close the election is between Dr. Oz and McCormick 31.3 and 31.2 too close to call I believe when George Bush ( The Son) ran against Al Gore that the State of Flordia committed voter fraud. Also when President Bush got elected then 9-11 happened but the rumor was going around that cause Al Gore lost the election there was a conspiracy that he was linked to 9-11 but nothing came out of this so who knows?
"RWAR republicans are going to cheat! Investigate the voting machines! Ban these private compan... what? We won? Oh well, nevermind." The irony of "voter suppression" is that Georgia broke records for turn out in early voting.
The Washington Examiner was playing fast and loose with the facts, not long after the election. I bet they haven't had a bad word to say about Dominion since Dominion started legal proceedings against Fox, etc..
The letter it refers to, www.warren.senate.gov/.../...0Street%20letters.pdf refers to problems with entering the desired choices on touch screens before the ballot was printed (not switching people's votes, and certainly not counting them incorrectly), on machines that were obsolete in 2018. In one county, in one state. Whether or not they were Dominion machines (which isn't clear) in 2018, they were all replaced in 2019.
It's certainly negligible compared to the election manipulation methods that are intentionally built into the system - for example, the electoral college which gives a hugely disproportionate amount of power to voters in swing states and those with smaller populations (a Wyoming resident's vote is worth more than 3 times as much as a Californian's), gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc. If you're concerned about the fairness of your elections, start with those.
How is this even a seriously-meant question? Where are all the district attorneys investigating this "widespread voter fraud"? What are the case numbers of all the active cases under indictment? What are the names of all those people found guilty?
There's some, but usually not enough to change the results. The election-stealing actions are taken by corrupt government officials removing people from voter rolls and making it harder to vote. How any country can accept someone overseeing their own election to higher office beggars belief.
I've no idea and we have the same question here in the UK my question is if you claim social security benefits and have a bank account you have id so what's the problem?
