also here in Wisconsin, there were alot more than just 23 fraudulent votes counted.
Yep, 7 out of 3,000,000 and all were people with felony convictions, hence not eligible to vote. I think those 7 just did not know they were not eligible, don't see that as fraud, a mistake, but, not fraud. Yep, big problem.

7 today, 70,000 tomorrow and 700,000 the day after that.

when is it a big enough problem for you?

even 1 vote fraudulently cast is bad for elections.

It's a problem to me!

When does it become one for you?

10, 100, 200, 2,000?

All of these postings about voter ID reducing voter fraud or supressing votes is really hijacking the thread.

The Supreme Court has already upheld voter ID requirements. Good luck Holder changing that..

To me it's a problem when hundreds of thousands are inhibited to "protect" people like you from 7 mistakes.

better to have an id that is required and provided free of charge to citizens actually allowed to vote, than to let everyone vote, even those that not allowed to.

I campaigned for a canidate for a local position and was privy to the local voter registry which is predominately Democrat and saw at least 25 questionable voters during the 2008 election in my ward alone BOB.

ACORN made there rounds trying to sign up every Dick,Tom Cindy and Sue they could find we had votes cast from vacant condemned houses or from people no longer residents living here.I know who lives in my neighborhood, what properties are inhabited and I.D 's or a current utility bill is all that is required to vote providing that they have been a current resident and registered with the Board of Elections.

More Change we can believe in Comrade....

69% Say Photo ID Voting Laws Are Not Discriminatory - Rasmussen Reports™

The answer is simple-

The democratic party clearly benefits from voter fraud and wants to perpetuate this practice, thus thier objections to reasonable identification.

Brennan Law Center says it could impact 3.2 mill Nationwide, how many in Wisc, hard to say, but very likely much more than 7. But do continue to pretend it would not affect certain segments of voters disproportionally. Some people may believe you.
