Already, there has been some question into folks who cast their ballots on Saturday. South Carolina's Attorney General, Alan Wilson has notified the U.S. Justice Department of potential voter fraud. Wilson says an analysis found 953 ballots cast by voters were people who are listed as dead. He has asked the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate.
There's no problem with voter fraud in this country!!
Yes. Yes, there is.

Nothing I've read in this "article" or others have said it was due the lack of requirement of a photo ID, do you know something the investigators do not???
Just something you should realize. More than 230,000 people voted for Gringrich. Mitt Romney received nearly 170,000 votes. If we were to take those 900 votes and remove them because of voter fraud, how would that even remotely change the election outcome? I must remind you, in 2008 - Obama beat McCain by more than 5 million votes every single victory he had over Hillary was in the thousands of votes. So what exactly is this big crisis of voting that we're facing? A few discrepancies here and there? Sure. The massive voter fraud you're making it out to be? Hardly.
I thought Republicans never cheated!
Oh, and once an investigation is completed, they are likely to find that it's a poll worker mix-up (similar sounding names or matching names). Something like this happened in Indiana when I lived there and everyone freaked out. They investigated and nearly every single one of them was a legal voter and the poll worker messed up due to either the exact same name or a similar sounding name.
That's the problem. Everyone freaks out and jumps to conclusions and pretends that everything is going to collapse because of "dead voters".
They haven't investigated anything yet. So, as such, what is the Attorney General's agenda in making this public before the investigation?
And how much do you want to bet when the investigation is complete and no criminal intent to commit fraud is found (as I said, it's very likely simple error) that the AG will say absolutely nothing?
Why? Because this story will linger and Republicans can use it to say "Voter fraud DOES exist".
This happens every election cycle. Put out a story about suspicion and ignore the story when all the facts prove nothing.
Of course, I'll use it to say, Republicans obviously are the cheaters, so maybe ID laws are to prevent Republican cheating.
After all, the first person arrested under Indiana's new voter fraud laws? The Republican Secretary of State who is supposed to oversee elections and verify that they are legitimate.

(It's just for fun, honestly - Republicans don't really cheat necessarily any more than Democrats do - they just do their damnedest to keep people from voting freely).

Cat. Where did I say anything about photo i.d.s? Or do you know something the rest of us do not???
The only voter fraud issues in the current news has been the very tiny number of voter fraud the right has tried to inflate to justify restricting poor people from voting.
You may have thought your attempt to lend credibility to this inflated voter fraud problem went unnoticed. It didn't.

Since when is ignoring voter fraud of any level acceptable?
It doesn't even seem to be "voter fraud". It looks more like "electoral fraud"

Who said it was acceptable? That is why there is a $5,000 fine and 5 years in jail for voter fraud. Is there any other crime that can boast of fewer convictions as voter fraud?
I posted a news story showing voter fraud.
From the article...South Carolina's attorney general has notified the U.S. Justice Department of potential voter fraud.
We've see way too many articles long on allegations, short on actual.

Where did you get the idea I thought there was massive voter fraud? Boy, you guys sure do "read between the lines...."
Who said it was Republicans? Where are you guys getting your "facts?"
Thank the demo's for making the "seriousness of the charge" more important than any actual fact.

Voter fraud in the sense of people voting twice or casting dead people's ballots... not common enough to actually effect an election.
