Payroll Tax Cut Could End Social Security

The latest voter-fraud convictions in Troy, N.Y., must be very inconvenient to the public-affairs propagandists over at the DNC and the NAACP, as well as liberal media outlets like the New York Times. It just ruins their constant refrain that there is no voter fraud in the United States.
Eric Shawn at FOX News reports that two Troy city officials, the city clerk and a councilman, along with two Democratic political operatives, have pled guilty to forging absentee-ballot signatures and casting fraudulent ballots in the 2009 Working Families Party primary. The WFP is the political party associated with ACORN.
One of the citizens whose votes were stolen was stunned at what happened. She said that she was “sure this goes on a lot in politics, but it’s very rare that they do get caught.” This voter was right on the money with that observation — fraud is so easy to commit in our election system that it is rare that fraudsters get caught and even rarer that they get prosecuted.
As for the constant liberal claims that voter fraud does not occur, one of the Democratic operatives who pled guilty, Anthony DeFiglio, told New York State police investigators “that faking absentee ballots was a commonplace and accepted practice in political circles, all intended to swing an election.” And whose votes do they steal? DeFiglio was very plain about that: “The people who are targeted live in low-income housing, and there is a sense that they are a lot less likely to ask any questions.”
That is exactly what former Alabama congressman Artur Davis said recently when he admitted that he was wrong to oppose voter-ID requirements. Davis says the “most aggressive” voter suppression “is the wholesale manufacture of ballots, at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt” of Alabama, which is an area of very poor black communities. These are the very areas where the NAACP claims voter fraud does not happen. The NAACP opposes all reasonable measures to safeguard the voting process for its own constituents, even going to the extent of defending vote stealers, as the NAACP did in Greene County, Ala., in the mid-1990s. Small wonder one of its local officials was recently sentenced to five years in prison for voter fraud in Tunica County, Mississippi.
In the Troy case, the ease with which voter signatures were forged without detection shows that signature comparison by election officials does not work and poses no deterrent to this type of voter fraud. That is why Kansas combined a voter-ID requirement in its new election law with a change to its absentee-ballot procedures. If you want to vote in person in Kansas, you now have to show a photo ID, and if you request an absentee ballot, you have to provide either a copy of your photo ID or the driver’s license number from the ID. That helps confirm that the registered voter — not some political operative like Anthony DeFiglio — actually requested the absentee ballot.
The democrats have been “perfecting” voter fraud for decades..
AND republicans for decades could care less..
Two Bushes and a Juan McLaim and probably a Romney prove they still could care less..
But don’t mind me I’m not too smart.. I’m a republican..
Why? Because they are all one in the same. Just protect your fiefdom.
So long as everyone looks away, voter fraud will exist. It will consume our democracy, and is probably the only way Dear Leader can win.
bump
I hear that the unions, for their own internal elections, require photo ID.
Please...........
Troy city council president indicted on voter fraud; three plead guilty to involvement in scandal

I think Republicans turn the other eye because they are stupid - the Dims make up the PC crap about it being racist or otherwise discriminatory to allow the fraud and Republicans sheepishly toe the line.
The liberals have told us that voter fraud does not exist.
I have been personally informed by someone more liberal than I that Rachel Maddow on MSNBC uses true facts in her commentaries. And that Rachel has said that there is not a wave of vote fraud. And that there is no need for voter ID laws.
And Rachel said that a 96 year old woman now can’t vote because of voter ID laws in her state of residence. Voter ID just disenfranchises people, responding to a problem which doesn’t exist, according to the liberal line.
And have the absentee ballot come certified mail/restricted-delivery, where the recipient has to show ID to the mailman showing that he's the addressee to get it.
Yes, indeed, maryz. The unions do require IDs for their own elections.
The Mexicans don’t mess around with “voter fraud”
.here’s how they deal with voter fraud issues south of the border....and ..its all you need to know about the treasonous, malignant American Left....
“...the Mexican Voter I.D. card has NINE security characteristics, including a fingerprint, a photograph, watermarks and holograms. What is more, in Mexico, the lists of electors that are distributed to political parties include the photo and the full name and address of the electors.”
