And did she then not have you sign beside your name to verify under penalty of law that you are who you say you are?

Just about the only way you are getting voter fraud is if you somehow registered to vote in more than one ward without it raising a red flag with Board of Elections and then showed up, signed in and voted in each of those wards. And that would send off all kinds of red flags. In short, it's difficult to do, even harder to get away with it, and has a less than 0% chance of influencing any election of consequence.

Default It's all about voter fraud, right... Repubs Admit their Voter Suppression Efforts, Again

Republicans admit to their voter suppression efforts:

Top Pennsylvania Republican Admits Voter ID Helped Suppress Obama Voters | ThinkProgress

Before you start crying about the source-- Watched the video. What Republican leader Robert Gleason said is factual. Now unless you believe 5% of the electorate was voting fraudulently (in which case you're insane), I think the Republicans have yet another credibility problem on this issue.

But gun control is not a suppression effort to the right to bear arms?

Yeah, thanks for playing. Do you have any comments that are (a) relevant to the topic and (b) make sense?

The GOP had no real interest in stopping voter fraud.

Oh please! He didn't admit to keeping voters suppressed. He speculated that it cut down on fraudulent votes that would have went to Obama. Like Illegals voting and what not.

Oh really? How do you explain efforts by CONSERVATIVES to shorten voting times & days, eliminating same-day registration & let's not forget voter ID, adding a fee onto that no less? Oh wait, and gerrymandering, don't forget that one as well.

So you believe that 5% of the electorate is fraudulent? Instead of admitting the truth-- that everybody knows-- that this is simply a Republican ploy to limit groups of traditional Democrats from voting, you blame it on "illegal aliens".

You have to be a fool to think that illegal aliens, who try to keep a low profile and avoid contact with authorities are fraudulently voting. Why would they risk arrest and deportation to vote? That doesn't even make sense.

The GOP does everything they possibly can to crap all over the constitution in attempts to throw elections. Voter suppression, fraud, sending out fake absentee ballots, throwing voter registrations in the trash, the GOP know no low to how disgusting they will get.
