The point of registering; only one person will be allowed to vote once.. unless they steal the identity of multiple folks.

Common sense...

That's why voter fraud is so rare. If John Smith who lives on 3100 Western Street in Bumbleboo, IL (SS# XXX-XX-XXXX) goes to vote, John can't go vote somewhere else.

Meanwhile, in Mississippi today, The Senate Conservative Fund, FreedomWorks, and the Tea Party Patriots have teamed up to send "election observers" to watch the polls in the primary race between Republican Sen. Thad Cochran and Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel. But they are only sending watchers to the black polling places. Why? Because Cochran had the audacity to try to reach out to black voters, and the Tea Party is worried that blacks might actually show up to vote for him. Can't have that.

Got to love conservatives. At least they recognize that the only way they can win anymore is to try to intimidate and/or suppress the vote.

What is a black polling place?

Got to love those red states. At least they recognize that the only way they can win anymore is to try to intimidate and/or suppress the vote.

Then why are there multiple cases of college students voting twice?

Why do urban "progressives" want to do everything possible to cover up voter fraud, make it impossible to stop and allow illegals to vote?

When you bring computers into the system it becomes much easier to rig an election, falsify votes, or keep people from voting without a record or witnesses.

College students are illegals now? Or is the term "illegals" going to morph in rightwing minds to cover anyone who doesn't vote Republican?

Not all are illegals, but those eligible are only allowed to vote once, NOT twice.

Oh, you know, one that's smack in the middle of a black neighborhood.

Sheesh. You voter suppression types get sillier and sillier every time you open your mouths or put fingers to keyboards.

Compared to the number of voters total...

But I guess you're of the "it's worth a million poor people not being able to vote if I can just stop one person from double-voting with this measure that wouldn't actually stop fraud anyway" camp.

The voter suppression probably increases fraudulent voting's impact on results. But that only matters if you actually care about fraud, rather than suppression.
