Voter ID laws are common sense (by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus)
CNN ^ | Dec 31, 2011 | Reince Priebus

Posted on 12/31/2011 11:38:52 AM PST by Innovative

In an outrageous recent fundraising letter the Democratic National Committee solicited funds from the party faithful on the grounds that the DNC was the last remaining bulwark against a series of anti-election-fraud initiatives "in more than 40 states."

That's right, the DNC appears to be standing up for potential fraud - presumably because ending it would disenfranchise at least two of its core constituencies: the deceased and double-voters.

Across America, Republican and Democratic legislatures have put forth voter identification laws this year to protect the constitutional values of equal protection and one person one vote, and for good reason. Election fraud is a real and persistent threat to our electoral system, with allegations cropping up in every election cycle.

I love this: "That's right, the DNC appears to be standing up for potential fraud - presumably because ending it would disenfranchise at least two of its core constituencies: the deceased and double-voters." -- how true.

Still waiting on Priebus to tell us that letting a small group at the state Republican committee level decide who gets to run rather than leaving that question to the Republican voters is equally fraudulent.

He's not going to do that of course.

The guy is as phony as Romney.

This clown needs to address open primary’s and the VA debacle.

Perry has spearheaded this Voter ID stuff, but Rinse Pubus has said nothing about the fiasco of our early ballots

Exactly. His silence was deafening when Newt and Perry were kicked off the ballot.

One of the comments on the CNN website was:

Fraud rate is in fact .0003 of 1% . This means if you have 4 million votes - 7 - is the number of fraud.

There is a huge error in logic in that statement, namely that no evidence of fraud is the same as evidence of no fraud.

In other words, we don't know how many people have committed fraud and gotten away with it because the lack of a photo id makes it relatively easy.

Hey Reince, the legislatures are Democrat, not Democratic. Hopefully, every legislature is Democratic.

Appears? Appears? Gimme a break - they ARE standing for voter fraud.

"Voter ID laws are common sense"

Of course--unless you want to commit voter fraud.

***************
CNN and its readers can’t do math. ...The answer would be 12, not 7.

In either case, I doubt that voter fraud occurrence is that low per 4 million votes cast.

Labor unions like the teachers union on my campus will not let me VOTE on the collectivist bargaining agreement, if I am not a “member” of the union cartel. Believe me, they control HR, “know” who you are.

So much for “free voting without carding people....
