Unless someone votes, it's not voter fraud.

All the Acorn cases are about submitting fraudulent voter registration applications. In most of the cases it was Acorn that informed the local election board of the possible incorrect applications.

No conspiracy. No massive fraud. Just a few greedy lazy people. They couldn't (or didn't want to spend the time) meet the numbers they needed to get paid, so they created some additional registrations. While it may have created fake/duplicate names on the voting rolls, nobody would have been voting using them.

While fraud is serious, in this case, it is a BB on a 8 lane highway.
Not worth the outrage.

You mean people that collect government benefits don't already have an ID?

A straw man argument for those who oppose common sense voter ID laws.

And if you have to pay for the bus fare or gas to get to the polling station, you have to pay to vote. There are requirements for voting. Proving that you're a real person isn't too outrageous IMO.

Who's talking about people collecting govt. benefits? I have no idea what collecting such benefits need for ID. For SS, one only needs a bank account; most checks are deposited directly into one's bank.

There is no such thing as common sense.

More proof of the dumbing down of the country. I make all kinds of money from recycling cans. Try it, you might like it.

Another amazing response from the left.....

All I'm saying, and this may surprise you....there are more things out there that can make you money. This is why I brought up picking up cans, not only can it make you money to buy a BC, but it can also help the environment.....

Hell, ALL lefties should be all over that.....................

No, people who engage in voter fraud are much more likely to be Democrat, hence the uproar.
