Voter fraud and trying to throw elections, it's the republican way,...

"A Virginia Republican and supporter of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) pleaded guilty on Tuesday to perjury and 36 counts of voter fraud. Adam Ward, 28, claimed he collected more than 11,000 petition signatures for Gingrich during the Republican presidential primaries, in an effort to ensure the candidate’s embattled campaign had a spot on the state’s ballot. Over 4,000 of those petition signatures turned out to be fake"

He probably learned from ACORN.

At least conservatives believe that anyone guilty of voter fraud should go to jail. Liberals believe that only republicans guilty of voter fraud should go to jail.

What about ACORN?
What about the black panthers?
What about the PA senate race?
What about PA, OH, and NY counties that voted 100%(!) for Obama, despite the fact that voters in those areas cast votes for Romney?

Liberalism = Fascism

That's not voter fraud, he didn't cast ballots. He did the same thing the Lefties ALWAYS do. Fake signatures.

Then why aren't you trashing this guy and the GOP, rather than just trying to deflect?

In a country facing the HUGE problems the USA is, this obsession with voter fraud is just idiot stupidity. It's a NON ISSUE to be sure. It reminds me of the Nero syndrome. Fiddle away while your country burns down around you. It's been proven over and over again that voter fraud is very small and has minimal impact. That is not to say it should not be investigated and prosecuted when and where it is found. In comparison, political corruption is millions of times bigger and more damaging to the country. Attempts at voter suppression are a much bigger and more serious problem yet it is something that is done at every election.

He ate the charge like a good little soldier. He'll get a nice bump once he gets out of lockup.

I did not get a chance to read the linked article due to a huge pop-up (hence I bailed; I should know better than to click on links on this forum).

Anyway, there is a difference, as others have pointed out, between fraudulent voter registration, and the act of voter fraud (i.e., casting an actual ballot claiming you are someone else). Especially on the national level, voter fraud is rare.

It will be a non-issue when the Rs stop making it one.
You well know that the reason for this thread is the dozens of voter fraud threads started by the Rs.
Yes, suppression is a very big problem, in particular, redistricting.

Did you whine when they started threads on voter fraud?
This isn't voter fraud. What that woman did in Cincy where she voted for Obama 6 times is voter fraud.
