Nuff said.The Obama/Biden lawn sign remains proudly planted in front of Melowese Richardson's Cincinnati home, three months after the presidential election.
It seems that President Obama has an especially ardent supporter in the veteran Ohio poll worker.
Richardson told a local television station this month that she voted twice for Obama last November. She cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well.
"Yes, I voted twice," Richardson told WCPO-TV. "I, after registering thousands of people, certainly wanted my vote to count, so I voted. I voted at the polls."
But... They promised me voter fraud NEVER occurs.... And that's why we should continue on the honor system.
Who promised you that?
The people who bitched, cried and moaned about how ridiculous it was to ask for ID to verify your identity to vote.
I think the typical statistic used was "Voter fraud is estimated to take place .0000000000000000001% of the time"

Nothing quite like holding your hand up proudly and proclaiming that you completely fail to understand what people are saying. Take pride in that failure!
Hint: The argument is that voter fraud is not a significant problem that is actually having any effect on elections. There is zero evidence of any major election having it's outcome changed by voter fraud. There are few occasions of any real evidence of any voter fraud period.
Successful voter fraud, by its very definition, is not recorded. A country with zero voter fraud, vs a country with a lot of voter fraud and horrible verification techniques are indistinguishable.
Asking someone to identify themselves to vote isn't unreasonable. You do it for about a million things day to day, even for rights.
Way to change your argument!
I didn't change my argument at all. Is that really your best response?
All we heard for months before the election was how voter fraud doesn't occur and as such asking for ID would just be ridiculous and right infringing.
Feel free to actually address my points instead of inserting what you think to be witty one liners.
Yep. An average of two mass shootings per year is "proof" that we need to heavily restrict the 2A rights of all, yet an average of two voter fraud cases per election means that it is rare and need not be discussed.

Well, except you did not hear that. You might have thought you heard that, but it isn't what you heard.
Wow, what a wonderful collection of totally reliable and non-partisan sites.
Oh, wait.
Yeah, you can't trust the DailyKOS to tell on their own.
I live in Minnesota and this past November there was a voter ID proposal on the state ballot. You may not have heard much about it where you live but in Minnesota it was literally everywhere, all the time. The message from the opponents of the law was just as RabidAlpaca described. "Voter fraud isn't REALLY a problem and this law is REALLY about limiting voter turnout and denying the poor and elderly their rights."Well, except you did not hear that.

It was shameless. And it worked.
