Any voter fraud is wrong. It doesn't matter if it is committed by a Democrat or a Republican. It violates the fundamental premise of our representative democracy.

To be fair, she was voting for someone in a coma. She wanted their vote to count.

It's hard to tell how many times she voted.

Another claim is absentee ballots for Montez Richardson, Joseph Jones and Markus Barron all came from Richardson's Whetsel Avenue address and were received by the board at the same time as Richardson's. The handwriting on all four of them was similar, according to officials.

Sorry, I was being facetious. It seems like Ms. Richardson has done this multiple times. She is a serial violator and has been a poll worker for nearly 30 years. Who knows how many fraudulent votes this woman is responsible for? In her mind she is justified, given the opportunity she would probably do it again.

I love it. Your response to a case of voter fraud is to reply: Well Republicans do it too, as if that makes it OK. How pitiful.

Yes, I know you were.

Yes, she seems to feel that the end justifies the means.

Never said it did, how condescending.

Twice as many as the Libertarian candidate received in the 2012 presidential election. So we cannot turn a blind eye to voter fraud, lest it become more and more of a problem.
From where did you pull the 0.1% fraud figure...or should I ask?
