Once again, the numbers are statistically insignificant. Certainly not enough to warrant disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters over.
I hope those hundreds of thousands are healthy because they can't get Obamacare without ID - yet Holder sued NC for requiring ID to vote and is silent on needing it for health insurance.

Where I live, without voter ID, it would be very easy to commit voter fraud without being detected.

First, you go look up the names of people in different voting precincts through their addresses. You simply pick out the precincts that you want to vote in, and then grab 4 or 5 names that live on streets in those precincts that have lived there the last three years.

HCAD Record Search

Then you go look up those names to see if they are registered.

Harris County Tax Office

If they are not registered, it's fairly certain that they don't vote.

You then register them. They'll get the registration card in the mail and most likely throw it away or put it in a junk drawer.

Come earlier voting, you go to the polls and say you are that person and you lost your registration card. They will allow you to vote.

If you get 9 other people to do this with you and hit 10 precincts in the same district and you have 100 votes in that district. In a runoff, where you typically get about 5% turnout, that is a huge number of votes, especially when your are talking about a house seat or a local race.

Not one of those votes will ever turn up as a fraudulent vote, and the only way to stop them is with making ID's mandatory (as they are now in Texas).

These DNC sock puppets don't care about most voter fraud, because it's American citizens that are being disenfranchised, and American citizens are less likely to vote for Democrats than the illegals and criminals that are engaged in voter fraud.

If voter fraud were substantially disenfranchising DEMOCRATS like them, then you'd be hearing a far different story. They only care about "disenfranchisement" when its their illegal voters who aren't allowed to vote.
The article did not disclose the voters party but don't let that get in the way of a good story. They are still investigating so let's see the final story regarding why they voted in 2 states. This came up as an issue in North Carolina last year regarding voters registered in 2 states, they indicated it was fraud but never backed it up with facts.

Will Holder Ignore Double Voting in Virginia? | National Review Online

Quote:
In June, I wrote about how the U.S. Justice Department was totally uninterested in investigating or prosecuting possible non-citizens who had illegally registered and voted in Fairfax County, Virginia, where I formerly was a member of the electoral board.

While I was still on the board in 2011, we sent a letter to both the Justice Department and the county prosecutor, Raymond F. Morrogh (D.) informing them that in checking with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, we discovered 278 registered voters who, when they got their driver’s license, informed the DMV that they were not U.S. citizens; 117 of them had actually voted in multiple elections. Registration and voting by non-citizens are serious violations of both state and federal law.

Neither the Justice Department nor Murrogh did anything about this. The lone Democrat on our electoral board even voted against turning this information over to prosecutors, and the local Democratic party successfully lobbied local judges to make sure I was not reappointed to the board. Trying to ensure the integrity of the election process was apparently just too much for them.
It's only 117 the liberal thieves will scream while laughing, while demanding we not use voter ID because even one person may be disenfranchised.

Thank God for double standards, without those liberals would have none.

4400 possible instances of voter fraud in VA last year; more than enough to tip an election. Guess who the fraud favored?

The mass conspiracy theory, unless you are paying someone off that would get out. Then it becomes an organized crime. RICO anyone.

Why didn't the county prosecutor take action against the voter fraud, surely there was an explanation.

Possible, instances and appears to be are not factual statements, just because counties do a lousy job of record keeping does not equate to voter fraud. Many government agencies do a poor job of record keeping, that needs to be corrected.

Which voters did these 17 people disenfranchise?

I'm poor at connecting the dots.

Please explain how 17 votes affected the election.
