WHAT VOTER FRAUD?

I'm sorry individual voter fraud is not a thing.  The risk versus reward are just too great.

I've worked the polls for years and I've never witnessed voter fraud and I've been critical of the Republican Party's efforts to require ID at the polls.

That said it turns out that voter fraud maybe more widespread than I thought and requiring ID isn't going to stop it so why require an ID?

I will offer two cases that opened up my eyes:

In 1996 California Republican Congressman Bob Dornan was defeated by Democrat Loretta Sanchez in an upset, by the narrow margin of 984. This margin was made up easily by illegal aliens voting and the government could prove this by bouncing the voter registration lists off the State departments list of citizen applicants.

Besides illegal aliens voting we have folks, I'm guessing mostly older, voting in multiple states.

Kim Strach, the new director of North Carolina’s Board of Elections searched a database that comprises about half the registered voters in the U.S. and found 35,750 voters in her state whose first and last names and full date of birth match with someone in another state who also voted in the 2012 election.

Individual voter fraud... People walking into vote and saying they are someone they are not is NOT the problem and is a red herring that the Republican's are using to decrease Democratic turn out.

However, voter lists with felons, illegal aliens and folks who are voting twice should be addressed.

Once again the voting public's attention is on the shinny object when in fact there are other factors at work that need addressing.
