Voter Fraud Deniers Ignore the Facts

Barack Obama and Eric Holder should stop attacking states for protecting the integrity of America's elections

Reader Comments

Back to argument

If 2010 elections were overrun by voter fraud, shouldn't those elections be declared null and void?

Weren't the winners in 2010 elected by fraudulent votes? Should they not be removed from office and the elections held over -- perhaps under international inspection teams?

Shouldn't Rick Scott, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Rick Snyder and other governors surrender their offices until a valid election can be held?

Oddly, they are crying "Foul! Foul!" while living happily with the results of the 2010 election that they claim was beset by voter fraud.

If you believe the election was fraudulent, then step down. If you won't step down, then you must believe the election was valid.

No. All of those things mentioned, flying on an airplane, getting married, buying cigarettes are choices. Having a vote is an inalienable right as a citizen. Nothing written her proves that voter fraud is an issue. Misconduct is a far greater piece to voter fraud and requiring ids does nothing to address that.

Is Voter Fraud A Real Problem?

All voter registration is handled by each state which has been screwed up since the 2000 elections. There is no national uniform voter requirements for congressional seats every two years (6 years for Senate) let alone the presidential elections.

There is no national data base that is accurate enough to be able to verify. IRS last year processed over 250,000 fraudulent tax returns. The Social Security Administration files are so tainted with illegal workers (one number, fifty names)it cannot be trusted either.

If 9.9 million illegal immigrants can steal identities so they can work, I am sure the same documents can be used to register to vote. Thats what ACORN was doing in 2008.

You can bet the people that are canvasing the Hispanic voters are telling them to use the stolen identities to register to vote. Who is going to stop them.

We tried with Voter ID, but Eric Holder is now suing the states that tried to protect the voting system to stop them from cleaning out the fraudulent registrations.

I have been fighting Identity Theft since 1999 to protect the American Consumer.

But Eric Holder will not enforce the "Identity Theft Deterrence and Assumption Act", what makes you think he will enforce the rights of the American Voter.

Thank you.

The simple fact is that Obama knows he's going to need fraudulant votes if he is going to stand any chance of getting re-elected.

Excellent article and you are 100% correct. Liberals, Socialists, and illegal aliens all want to make a big noise hoping it "appears" like "americans" are against the voter ID laws, but a majority of americans support it.. It is the MINORITY as usual trying to push upon the majority unequal and injust voter fraud to get their outcome.

Voter fraud is different than election fraud. It is much easier to steal votes using a computer program than it is to steal votes one at a time through voter fraud. We need to get the computerized machines that are easily hacked out of our elections in the USA. We need hand counted paper ballots that are publicly counted and verified immediately after an election before anyone has a chance to tamper with them.

Should our United States and/or local State elected official be held accountable when they attempt to create laws at their leisure, which circumvents “The constitutional right of (eligible) citizens of the United States to vote” ?

Article XV. Section 1. of this nation’s Constitution states: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

Consider what Abraham Lincoln had to say about our nations constitution and how we as Americans can loose of our freedoms “Liberty"

“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.”

“We, the people, are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

I wonder if our elected officials under stand that their is a difference between sending a letter out to someone whom they expect may not be an eligible voter and requesting them to provide evidence that they are indeed an eligible voter. -versus- them sending a letter out to someone informing them that they have been removed from the voter role and demanding that they provide evidence that they are indeed an eligible voter prior to being allowed to vote.

I also wonder if we, the people, really understand the difference when our elected officials make a formal request for us, the people, to provide them with information pertaining to our lawful right to vote. -versus- our elected officials unlawfully removing our names from the election role without our permission and then demanding that we, the people, provide them with the information pertaining to our lawful right to vote prior to having our names reinstated on their election role.

It should be noted that when the word “Servitude” was used in Article XV. Section 1. of this nation’s Constitution (which grants the right of citizens of the United States the right to vote) it was making reference to “a condition in which one lacks liberty especially to determine one's course of action or way of life.” It should also be noted “Hitlerism imposes servitude not only on the body but on the mind and even on the spirit.”
