Poll: 80% Democrats making voting easier more important than voter integrity (illegal aliens, lawyer)

Proof of how ignorant the people who answer polls can be.

Poll: 80% of Democrats think making voting easier is more important than ensuring voter eligibility

so they don't care if hundreds of thousands of votes are rejected, just so it makes their life less of a hassle? Oh, but when the mainstream media sensationalizes how their votes were rejected, then they will scream like stuck pigs, riot, loot and burn

Because documented voter fraud is virtually non-existent. Attached is an Op-Ed by Republican lawyer Ben Ginsberg who spent much of his career defending Republicans in contested elections.

The Heritage Foundation Election Fraud Database has compiled every instance of any kind of voter fraud it could find since 1982. It contains 1,296 incidents, a minuscule percentage of the votes cast. A study of results in three states where all voters are mailed actual ballots, a practice at the apex of the president’s outrage, found just 372 possible cases of illegal voting of 14.6 million cast in the 2016 and 2018 general elections — 0.0025 percent.
The president’s rhetoric has put my party in the position of a firefighter who deliberately sets fires to look like a hero putting them out. Republicans need to take a hard look before advocating laws that actually do limit the franchise of otherwise qualified voters. Calling elections “fraudulent” and results “rigged” with almost nonexistent evidence is antithetical to being the “rule of law” party.

Doing both isn’t hard. Republicans want voting restricted. That’s their stated goal.

Voting is easy. Laws are clear.

Cheating is possible, but not necessarily easy. The battle against cheating and Stealing Votes has improved greatly in the last 10 years. These are Federal Felony Crimes.

Prison is likely ... be careful about believing false information. This IS serious stuff.

If anyone has any interest in voting, voting is easy. It's only hard for people that really don't care that much.

Is there a more "challenged" cohort in society than these Dems who think it's tough to vote.

Democrats just want it easier for illegal aliens/unregistered voters to vote.

I see the OP is making the mistake of taking a relative preference and turning it into an absolute.

There is documented evidence in certain states where polling places in certain areas have been diminished or eliminated- so yes there are defined barriers in some areas that make it 'tough' to exercise your right to vote.

Personally I think it should be a standard to make voting as convenient and as easy as possible. You disagree?

We've never sent out millions of unrequested blank ballots to voters that may or may not still be alive and to addresses where these voters may or may not be residing.

After the ballots arrive at the voters last known address, there is no way to monitor the chain of custody between the voter's mail box and the collection center where the ballots will be assumed to have come from the proper registered voter even though there will be no way to verify that this is the case.

What happened before under a certain set of circumstances is not an indication of what will happen now under a different set of circumstances.

There is no logical reason to believe that this election will not be ripe with improper voting due to the complete lack of ballot security that Democrat governors have intentionally introduced into the process.
