Thus is odd, the sheriff does not intend to file charges which is a fine decision but the whole story is strange. Why did it take so long to make the call, what was going on during that time. Anyone else see irony in a group that is so worried about vote tampering is found in a locked building with the votes?

Voter fraud GOP style?? I remember this shit happening in their primaries for 2012 Presidential race.

I've said 50 times handling of ballots is a far greater problem then onsite voter impersonation yet nobody in the GOP seems to care.

So what is it really about?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuOT1bRYdK8

Much crap in this world today is BS once idiots figure out how to make a news story out of it in reverse PC mode I guess.

It's starting to shoot many in the ass I hope, and will more in the future.

Since no one has been convicted this is a non-story. At least according to liberal rules on what counts as electoral fraud. :colbert:

Most of you know, I am a conservative.

All rhetoric aside, if these guys were attempting to alter votes they need a nice long prison term, minimum.

I personally think voter fraud and altering votes like this should be capital offenses. To steal an election is a treasonous offense of the highest order.

I think buying an election is just as bad as stealing one and thus we should also overturn Citizens United and limit the influence outside money can have.

I was informed by the left many times that voter fraud dos not exist or is so small a problem it shouldn't even be considered.

And this is not proof of voter fraud in any way. Even if it is 100% proven these people committed fraud, it would not be voter fraud. So you've been told correctly each of those times.

I would only support this if we completely did away with money in elections.

Like what NASCAR is supposed to be, a completely level playing field.

How about public funded elections where the amount of funding is based on the level of office being run for? The problem with no money in elections becomes with what is designated as "money in elections"? If one candidate cannot afford to travel to make appearances and the other is wealthy and can, does that count as money in elections and a non level playing field for example? It definitely gets very complicated.

What about G.W Bush and B.H. Obama?

They've both stolen 1 election apiece.

Make it simple then. Expand the FEC both in size and in scope.

Provide the candidates with staffing, marketing, access to media, and travel commissurate with the position being run for, but make it equal. Barack Obama gets the exact same as Joe the Plumber. That's what they get to use period. Doesn't matter how rich they are or what they have access to outside the system.

Considering the looming apocalypse of college graduates with no job prospects this shouldn't even be hard to fill.

The only way you will ever level the playing field in politics is to totally ban political speech outside approved channels and methods. I don't think you'll ever be able to pull it off.

no, you haven't.

It's designed to prevent a form of in person voting fraud that has never been shown to exist in any way shape or form. Therefore we are imposing a burden on certain groups of voters in order to stop something that your own studies say doesn't exist. From a logical standpoint the government is making up new rules to stop things that aren't there.

At what number does it become a problem, especially when it is designed to fix a problem, voter fraud, that doesn't exist?

How about one from our Omnipotent Overlord?

The Voter ID laws are a response to a problem that doesn't really exist. They are a partisan political attempt at voter suppression.

Should I go on or are you going to claim these posts don't exists either?

This wouldn't be "voter fraud". If improprieties occurred, it would be a different kind of electoral fraud.

What's the Teahadist version of 72 virgins, anyway?

72 tax cuts for the Koch Bros, or what?

Well quit listening to the sock puppet on your left hand and pay more attention to the central one you wear on your dick. The voices you hear in your head don't count, they are biased.

To clarify. What would her and her associates opinions be if someone who was in the Democratic party were in the same situation?
I doubt she was trying to alter the votes but I could be wrong. I know if roles were reversed a bunch of tea baggers would be shouting crazy conspiracy stuff.
I'm betting they had some poorly thought out plan to count the total votes or something similar because they read about illegal aliens messing with them or something similarly insane.
