Here's an idea....maybe someone should do this in all the poling places for our elected officials that maintain that voter fraud isn't an issue.
That idiot is at it again? Was he dressed like a pimp with his ho girlfriend at his side?

And how the hell does any of that show that voter fraud is any kind of big problem? It doesn't. All it proves is that an idiot walked into a polling place and gave the wrong name

That's like shooting somebody in the head to prove there's a homicide problem

O'Keefe isn't trying to prove it can be done, he's trying to prove it is done. And that's how the idiots on the right will play it. They'll think that this shows that voter fraud is some huge problem and it's rampant everywhere

That's an interesting analogy, except for the fact that this person didn't actually vote. Your turn.

If we did get voter ID would we then have O'Keefe taping himself with fake ID's? I think we certainly would if there were still "too many" low income people voting. Then the right would jump all over that and insist we have stricter and stricter rules for the ID's making it harder and harder for low income people to get them

Doesn't matter. the analogy stands

But if you really want to be so anal about it then it's like pointing an unloaded gun at somebody's head and pulling the trigger to prove there's a homicide problem

Huh? Are you suggesting that because some ID is required, none woud be good enough? Why do we need more proof of identity to board a plane than we need to vote? I have yet to meet anyone who suggested the burden of proof to board a plane is inadequate.

No one. That is the point, isn't it? Please explain to us, how is voter fraud prevented with our current system. I'll give you a hint, it isn't.
