A TV reporter went out on his own for two months and found around 100 people that voted in elections, that were ineligible to vote.

Essentially none of these alleged cases would have been prevented by Voter ID laws.

VoterID... not the issue here. Nice try.

People voting illegally regardless of the means... that's the problem. On the TV report, the Jamaican guy's form was a lie where the US citizen box was checked.

It may not be "the issue" but it is certainly "an issue" relevant to the thread.

It certainly does not appear that you actually disagree that Voter ID would not solve this problem, since you make no effort to argue that it would.

Yes. In a nation of 125 million or more voters there will be some number of illegitimate votes cast.

This reporter found less than 100.

Tell that to the 100 people whose votes were cancelled out.

Quick! Someone pass a law to disenfranchise thousands of voters so those 100 people will feel all better!

It's ILLEGAL.

I'm going to send someone to your house to break in and steal some stuff - and then tell you that, you know - millions of burglaries occur every year, so the fact that they hit your house is no big deal.

There are between two and four hundred thousand voters in Lee County, Florida.

The "problem" identified here represents at worst 5 hundredths of 1%. That is a very high quality system.


Republicans generally carry Lee County by margins of 25-40%.

Quick! Someone pass a law so that people that have no skin in the game can affect the country that millions actually pay to belong.
