Criminal thug James O'Keefe in a desperate attempt to prove their "voter fraud" claim once again attempts to commit fraud to prove fraud.

When are the GOP just going to admit new voter ID laws are designed to keep minorities away from the polls? Seems to follow the last country that attempted to establish permanent minority right rule.

Last Tuesday, a man who appeared to be in his 20s showed up at a Democratic field office in Boulder wanting to volunteer to help elect Udall and Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), according to a Democratic staffer who met with him and asked not to be identified. The man introduced himself as "Nick Davis," and he said he was a University of Colorado-Boulder student and LGBT activist involved with a student group called Rocky Mountain Vote Pride. Davis mentioned polls showing the race between Udall and Gardner was tight, and he asked the staffer if he should fill out and mail in ballots for other college students who had moved away but still received mail on campus. The Democratic staffer says he told Davis that doing this would be voter fraud and that he should not do it.

What?!

This is a right leaning Christian nation as many folks here will attest. Which would mean the republicans would want as many people voting as possible. They wouldn't want to disenfranchise a bunch of republicans, if that were true.......

:hmm:

And in other news, Voter ID laws still in place in 11 states with a SCOTUS ruling setting a precedent to support them. And all the progressive talk and angst won't change that actual fact.

Be a dear and explain how voter ID laws would do anything to stop someone whose plan was to "fill out and mail in ballots for other college students who had moved away but still received mail on campus."

I believe the issue for *this* thread is not voter id laws but, rather, the machinations of a Republic political operative apparently trying to 'gin up' some phoney scandal as he has in the past.

Anything to contribute to the discussion at hand?

When oh when will the Regressives learn that no matter how many they try to disenfranchise, the tidal wave of progression is cascading all around them and drowning out their squeaky little voices? Their kind had their chance to shine but squandered it by alienating themselves from everyone and everything that is not white male knuckle scrapers? This guy is an asshat that needs to spend a little time in jail.

That's the biggest shoulder chip I've seen this month.


I don't know who James O'Keefe is, but if that story is accurate (please note the use of the word "if") he's an idiot. Contrary to popular belief, that doesn't make everyone who has something in common with him an idiot.

He went full conservative brain defect - he was willing to do the very thing he fears, in order to prove to others that there is something to fear.

What I would have done was conduct, lead, fund or support an investigation:
1) it shows what is actually happening (ooooo,.. facts!)
2) it would keep me from committing a crime

But, that is just illogical liberal old me,..

I don't believe voter fraud is a problem, but I still don't understand how requiring an ID automatically disenfranchises minorities when ID is already required to drive, buy alcohol/lottery tickets, use a credit card, collecting social security, collecting unemployment, going to court, or even picking up some medications at a pharmacy.

It might have something to do with the fact that you've ignored the many many times people have explained to you that it isn't needed to buy alcohol, lottery ticket, use a credit card, collect social security or unemployment etc...

Just about any government franchise such as medicare, SS etc... all provide options for people to identify themselves if they lack photo ID. As to the others, well, I haven't been ID'd to do any of those things but that might have to do with the fact that I'm a 40 year old man. None of them have a mandatory ID requirement.

In addition to what the previous two posters said, I'll add that none of those actions are required to be allowed to vote. Someone who doesn't drive, drink, gamble, have credit cards, collect social security/unemployment/welfare or have medications is still allowed to cast a vote. Just because someone doesn't live a similar life to you doesn't mean you can disenfranchise them without showing good cause, and the virtual non-existence of in-person voter fraud doesn't qualify. If Republicans are so adamant about stopping voter fraud, how come none of them has suggested an overhaul of absentee voting where the vast majority of voter fraud has been shown to occur? Could it be because absentee voters lean Republican? "We're adamantly opposed to fraud... unless it benefits us, in which case FREEDOM."
