Oh, I like the school shooting analogy too. It's just the way it is and while we have thoughts and prayers, we can't do anything about it because unhindered gun ownership is more important than kids.
Absolutely.
It’s somehow perfectly okay for kids to have to endure active-shooter drills in schools but being asked to wear a mask, oh, the horror.
When it comes to voting, some are as selective about the parts of the Constitution that they like as are those who quote only selectively from the Bible, Leviticus specifically.
Funny isn’t it?
Any/everyone who votes has to be registered to do so.
Imagine trying to get gun owners to do the same.
Seriously... using Snopes to prove a point when Snopes themselves declare it "unproven" is just ridiculous...
It's even worse than that. TX admitted that many, in some counties a "substantial number", shouldn't have been flagged as suspicious in the first place.
Per the Snopes page:
...The secretary of state’s office incorrectly included some voters who had submitted their voting registration applications at Texas Department of Public Safety offices, according to county officials. Now, the secretary of state is instructing counties to remove them from the list of flagged voters.
“We’re going to proceed very carefully,” said Douglas Ray, a special assistant county attorney in Harris County, where 29,822 voters were initially flagged by the state. A “substantial number” of them are now being marked as citizens, Ray said...
So the reality is that it's no where near the 58K fraudulent votes that were claimed.
Holding on to the idea that Democrats are the recipients of massive voter fraud is more comforting to Republicans than the alternative, which is that they are losing the long term battle to demographic change of the electorate.
Voter fraud is not crime like murder where we have a dead body and know a crime was committed, it's difficult to detect. A lot of it will go undetected and the extent of it is largely unknown.
Bush won Florida by 537 votes or 0.009% of the total. Can you say with absolute confidence that if we were able to determine how many votes were fraudulent and subtracted them from both totals Bush still wins?
Ha! Difficult to detect, yet you're positive it's happening in vast numbers. When are you guys just going to admit you've been lying about the prevalence of voter fraud?
The threat of voter fraud is suuuuuuch a stupid conspiracy that you have to force yourself to believe that it's actually happening. Vast numbers of people are risking jail, just to vote in districts that are rarely contested? How dumb are these people that you're imagining exist that they're risking their freedom just for the sake of a meaningless vote?
Roughly 1200 examples of proven voter fraud listed by individual states.
1200 examples over 20 years. So maybe 120 per election year, out of what, 100 million?
If you look at the examples, the vast majority were local elections, like town council. These stats just prove the assertion that voter fraud is extremely rare.

Nope. The majority of Dem states refused while many of the Repub states complied. Are you trying to say the majority of Dem states complied?
Nine "blue" states complied, nine denied and 1 is undecided. Of the states that denied, 5 are "red" states and 9 (plus DC) are "blue" states. So political party does not seem to be the major factor in compliance.
