Voter Fraud ? Naw of course not :roll:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government ... der-Ballot



U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has declared that there is no proof that in-person voter fraud is a problem. He's about to see proof that even he can't deny.
In a new video (below) provided to Breitbart.com, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws--by walking into Holder’s voting precinct and showing the world that anyone can obtain Eric Holder’s primary ballot. Literally.
The video shows a young man entering a Washington, DC polling place at 3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, on primary day of this year--April 3, 2012--and giving Holder’s name and address. The poll worker promptly offers the young man Holder’s ballot to vote.
The young man then suggests that he should show his ID; the poll worker, in compliance with DC law, states: “You don’t need it. It’s all right. As long as you’re in here, you’re on our list, and that’s who you say you are, you’re okay.”
The young man replies: “I would feel more comfortable if I just had my ID. Is it alright if I go get it?" The poll worker agrees.
"I’ll be back Faster than you can say Furious,” the young man jokes on his way out, in a reference to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal that has plagued Holder’s Department of Justice.
Holder has maintained that voter fraud is not a major problem in the United States, and that voter ID would not curb voter fraud in any case.
As Project Veritas has proven, voter fraud is easy and simple--and may be increasingly common in the absence of voter ID laws.
Project Veritas has already shown how dead people can vote in New Hampshire, prompting the state senate to pass a voter ID law; they’ve also shown people can use celebrity names like Tim Tebow and Tom Brady to vote in Minnesota, prompting the state legislature to put voter ID on the ballot as a constitutional amendme

    This is similar to what I mentioned in another thread.

    It's funny, when I first started voting (almost 30 years ago!), I remember the process of showing my ID, proving who I said I was. It was exciting, having a voice that I thought can make a difference...and it still is, though to a lesser extent.

    To me, when at the polling booth, one shouldn't be able to just say "this is who I am, take me at my word", and have that received as fact...and then be able to have SOMEONE ELSE'S BALLOT handed to me.

    (I'm also curious what happens when the folks who've already "voted" actually show up to vote.)

    I truly don't get the push to not have this requirement in place. Eliminating it feels like yet another pock on the whole process.

    how do you know?

    I am confused as to how people know voter fraud isn't a big problem? It is hard to prove or disprove how much something happens if it easily goes undetected.

    I would say the bigger problem is relying on computers and non televised counts to settle elections. I am more worried about vote changing and manipulation rather than I am about out voter identity fraud like this...

    Although I do find it funny, albeit a bit douchey

    i guess i don't know for sure. but to me , it is a non-issue. i just don't see people rushing out trying to commit voter fraud. i also believe that the system we have in place works well enough. as exampled in this previous thread about voter fraud.

    If you are going to call someone a douche bag you should at least spell it right.. And why do you think that anyway? I would think most clear thinking and law abiding citizens would want public figures and organizations exposed if they are breaking the law or doing things like what NPR did.And furthermore it takes balls to do stuff like this.

    thank you for your reply. i'll take these things into consideration. james o'keefe just seems to be kind of a partisan. i never really see him doing any of these undercover sting operations on any conservative supported/run organizations. it always seems to be some liberal organization like npr, planned parenthood, ect. thats fine i guess. i'm kind of a partisan myself. oh well.

    does anyone know anyone that has even thought or attempted voter fraud? out of the thousands of people i have known in my life and the thousands of crimes i have seen or heard of people committing . i have never, ever heard of anyone commiting voter fraud. ever. it's not like people in this country are dying to get to the polls. what is the voter participation rate in this country? like 50%.
    shit if someone cares enough to risk imprisonment so that they can commit voter fraud, more power to them. at least it shows they care. :-|

    Say what? While I agree with you on enough Americans don't vote and don't even know who the speaker of the house is much less the V.P. But the idea that you think voter fraud is ok just bcos they care I find disturbing and I think this is a perfect example why this country is going down the toilet. It's bcos people don't give a shit. And one day we are all going to pay a very heavy price. So let me ask you this.. What if you showed up at the polls in november and you were a victim of voter fraud? Would that get your attention? or would you just shrug it off and say

    shit if someone cares enough to risk imprisonment so that they can commit voter fraud, more power to them. at least it shows they care.
