Anyhow, to get back my original message, are there examples of voter fraud? An earlier poster kindly provided some recent news stories, but none of them show much of anything.
It's still under investigation. It's only been 4 days since the actual election.

Yeah, I had my nanny once from a NANNY agency. I discovered that she was an illegal. She had the ID, visas and all - everything was fake.
She was terminated and I told the IRS that the nanny agency which I paid thousands of dollars to do a background check gave me an illegal.

It seems very easy for them to get fake IDS, fake SSNs, fake Green cards, etc. Almost like there is already an underground business that does this type of stuff.

As has been explained hundreds of times to you who think that election fraud does not happen, except by the Pubs...There are plenty of states that have no requirement of asking for any sort of ID to vote. I know this because od the fact that some of my family lives in NM and I, at this time anyway but moving by the end of the month, live in CA. People are allowed to vote as long as their name shows up on the registration rolls and not one person questions them.

Sorry, then you know very little about the different states. Many states do not require ID of any form to vote, as long as they state the name that is listed on the rolls there.

Here ya go, some infor about voter ID.

No, you are right, I didn't know about other states exact voting requirements anymore than I pay attention to the weather on Mars. I count on accurate and precise unbiased people such as yourself to provide me with the information I need.

Not entirely true. Many people on line with me when I voted were asked for photo IDs along with their voter registration cards.

There was also a post in another thread from someone who had recently moved to NM from CA who said that when voting in CA s/he was always asked for photo ID.

So what you are saying is that it is impossible to stop this stuff, no matter what form of ID you require!

NO, cheating, corruption and fraud is the way of life under the rule of the United States and both parties do it all. To say it is just one party is showing your partisanship and is not true.

I live in CA and never once was asked for my ID when voting. I have family in NM that work the polls and they are not allowed to even ask for it. So, you are wrong. Not everyone is asked to provide ID and that is a fact.

Basically, yeah!!! But, it really doesn't help when a group can run around and and openly commit voter registration fraud without anything happening to them.
