Far more common is voter suppression of black and minority voters of which there is a long ugly history dating back to the Jim Crow days and is still common practice today, mostly in the southern states (Georgia and Florida come to mind). But you will never hear a peep about it from republicans.
Yes because requiring legitimate identification proving you're a U.S. citizen is oppression. You might want to stay on topic next time instead of trying to explain away blatant corruption by liberal Democrats.
A forged signature swapped for $1 — or sometimes a cigarette.
The crude exchange played out hundreds of times on L.A.’s skid row during the 2016 election cycle and again this year, prosecutors said Tuesday as they announced criminal charges against nine people accused in a fraud scheme.
Using cash and cigarettes as lures, the defendants approached homeless people on skid row and asked them to forge signatures on state ballot measure petitions and voter registration forms, the district attorney’s office said. The defendants — some of whom were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday — face several criminal charges, including circulating a petition with fake names, voter fraud and registering a fictitious person.
I'm actually shocked that they are prosecuting this.
It's frustrating that this stuff happens.
Oh no, there's no voter fraud!
Remember ACORN? Same BS, only in several states and 1000x worse.

Jim Crow laws ended 60 years ago! Thank Republicans for that!
Typical deflection, entirely out of context and a bridge too far.

So why would they do it? If there were no reward why would they risk going to jail?
There seems to be something more insidious about this whole scheme.

Educate yourself. Has nothing to do with ID. They used voting machines this year in Georgia and Florida that ran on battery power, provided only one or two machines in heavily minority areas, polling stations that close early in the day so people can't vote. When the machines ran out of batteries or break down you couldn't vote. Electronic voting machines that break down, easily hacked and leave no paper trail. It always happens in heavily democratic or minority areas. But in white areas there are always plentiful polling stations and plenty of working machines that never break down. Do you think that is a coincidence?

Certainly some of those situations could be a result of incompetent supervisor of elections for the county. As we can see in Broward county the voters kept reelecting Brenda Snipes.

But the 'incompetence' of the election officials somehow always benefits the republican candidates.
I hate to get all reading comprehension, but they were charged with election fraud, i.e., fraudulently trying to get something on the ballot through petition, not voter fraud (neither the homeless people nor the fraudsters were voting).
Makes a good case for voting ID.
We got to have an ID to exercise our 2nd Amendment, and it says People. I got to have an ID to prove I'm a person.(explain that logic)
But I don't need an ID to and exercise my 15th Amendment, and prove I'm a Citizen like it says.
Isn't that backasswards?

It's apparent the tail wags the dog when it comes to meting out justice.
The left protect the left. Voter fraud is fine (look the other way), voter suppression is racist. It's more than backassward it's intentional.
How is it right that judges and police protect illegal aliens while throwing the book at citizens for identical crimes?
Example - An "undocumented alien" fell asleep at the wheel and totaled my parked car at 2 am. The impact woke the block up. The cops came, found he had no insurance, was driving a borrowed car (they are always in a borrowed car) and they actually drove him home.
If I was uninsured and totaled a car I would have gone to jail, just as he should have!
Do you think these people even care a tad about our laws? They are empowered to break our laws because they have immunity.

I hate to get all letter of the law, but isn't it still fraud?
I'd say getting a petition to become a proposition through fraud is right in there with voter fraud. It's the same corruption by the same bad players.
They robbed a liquor store, not a bank! Same difference.
