So... adding a “smidgen” of integrity to an increasingly fraud-ridden process is .. “rigging.”

Democrats claim these measures will discourage young and nonwhite voters from voting, who tend to vote more often...

Well, that certainly got THAT part right!

Wonder if Michael Brown has been registered yet?

Ballot stuffing by college kids (who defend their actions by saying “teh Republicans are just gonna steal it ANYWAY”) needs to be challenged.

He tells the truth. They do “vote more often for Democrats.” Two, three, four times for each candidate. Sometimes at multiple locations. Hence the need for voter ID and stopping this fraudster “same-day registration”, which is not voter registration at all.

Let’s let people put initiatives on the ballot on election day by turning in their petition lists on election day.

How would that work out for ya...

“Democrats claim these measures will discourage young and nonwhite voters from voting, who tend to vote more often for Democrats. GOP legislators insist they’re only worried about voter fraud and the integrity of the electoral system.”

Well the author got that right.....they do tend to vote more often.....in the same election!

Rock the Vote has just launched a new nonpartisan campaign to push back against voting restrictions.

Rock the Vote has never been non-partisan. They claim it so they can dodge taxes.

They are a Democrat effort with liberal positions on all of the issues. Ever look at their "voter resources"?

Does this moron think that those “young and non-white voters” can’t produce ID for liquor and beer?
Why does he think they produce it to vote, too?

These measures are designed to prevent dead, multiple, and illegal voters, major Democrat constituencies, from voting and are violations of the civil rights of large numbers of Democrat voters.

Well, that's the problem right there.

That's where a lot of fraud occurs, with the young and non-white voters, who often get paid to cast "their" votes for whoever is the democratic party's candidate.

If the writer of that article were wise, he/she wouldn't have written "who tend to vote more often, for democrats". How often is each voter 'allowed" to vote?

Wow. Making sure that only legal citizens who registered to vote can vote is “rigging the vote” now.... wow

But there is little evidence of significant fraud

Well, yeah, because it's not enforced.

Unfortunately, this will be like putting a cop on every mile of the interstate, and later claiming that "there's little evidence of speeding" when they don't catch anyone doing it.

NC has been about 50-50 in the last couple of presidential elections. I see two outcomes from the new Voter ID laws.

1) NC stays 50-50. IMO, that's bad because it shows Dems have made real inroads into a traditionally conservative state.

2) NC goes back to 55-45, plus or minus a bit. IMO, that's ALSO bad, because it means my vote hasn't counted for at least the past two elections.

“Making it more difficult to vote” is a good thing if it’s directed at illegal aliens who are not lawfully entitled to vote but do so anyways when the laws are lax, at dead voters who are also not legally permitted to vote but often continue voting in urban areas, and at those who have already voted in other voting districts.

When elections lose legitimacy, as American elections are now doing because of liberal corruption, everyone loses. Even the far left, as much as they despise following the rules, should support the rule of law in the area of free and fair elections that are limited to one man, one vote, and only those who are lawfully entitled to vote.

Don't rig the vote, rock it? As if making certain that only qualified voters are counted constitutes rigging?

Rock it? You mean appeal to stupid people with a lot of rah rah emotive superficial crap?

Were it up to me, if you weren't a tax payer, and you weren't older than 21, I wouldn't let you vote at all. This group of people (non taxpayers and under 21) constitute the bulk of the idiot class in this nation, and nothing good has ever come of their opinions being introduced into the government's stream of consciousness.

So CNN thinks that fighting vote fraud is “rigging the vote?”

Asinine.
