In 5-Year Effort, Scant Evidence of Voter Fraud


By ERIC LIPTON and IAN URBINAAPRIL 12, 2007



WASHINGTON, April 11 — Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.




Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of last year.




Most of those charged have been Democrats, voting records show. Many of those charged by the Justice Department appear to have mistakenly filled out registration forms or misunderstood eligibility rules, a review of court records and interviews with prosecutors and defense lawyers show.

In Miami, an assistant United States attorney said many cases there involved what were apparently mistakes by immigrants, not fraud.

Panel Said to Alter Finding on Voter FraudAPRIL 11, 2007


In Wisconsin, where prosecutors have lost almost twice as many cases as they won, charges were brought against voters who filled out more than one registration form and felons seemingly unaware that they were barred from voting.

Above you said there was no problem with voter fraud (#6) then you post something saying there is evidence of voter fraud (#8). Which one is it or is it you're willing to accept fraud as long as it's only to a level you like?

What's wrong w/ requiring a photo ID if you have one?

Because of the intent. The data is just mindboggling clear that new voter identification restrictions are a solution in search of a problem. Voter misconduct is so low in this country that it's not even statistically significant. The intent is clearly to discourage some demographics of people from voting and not to catch 1 or 2 miscreants.

It's a low number of people who don't meet these ID requirements and even then they can cast a provisional ballot so it's an insignificant solution for a practically non-existent problem.

Republicans are just showing their ass on this one and being dicks because they can in those States. Mostly though this is one of those wedge issues that people blow a lot of smoke about but doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

Voter fraud isn't an existing problem?

How many tax dollars are we talking about here? Maybe 1/10 of 1/10 of 1% of just one of the programs Sanders is proposing?

That is correct. Its incidence of occurrence is so small that it's not even statistically significant.

GOP Memo Admits Plan Could 'Keep Black Vote Down'

October 25, 1986|From the Washington Post

NEWARK, N.J. — A Republican National Committee official calculated that a so-called ballot security program in Louisiana "could keep the black vote down considerably," according to documents released in federal court Friday.

The documents and court hearing were the latest developments in a controversy over the GOP's ballot program that Democrats maintain is aimed at reducing minority turnout. The Republicans say the program's sole purpose is to purge ineligible voters from voting roles.

In an Aug. 13 memo the court made public Friday, Kris Wolfe, the Republican National Committee Midwest political director, wrote Lanny Griffith, the committee's Southern political director, and said of the Louisiana campaigning:

"I know this race is really important to you. I would guess that this program will eliminate at least 60-80,000 folks from the rolls. . . . If it's a close race . . . which I'm assuming it is, this could keep the black vote down considerably."

I agree COULD keep minorities from voting....but only those that are fraudulently registered ...AS IT SHOULD BE

from your article....

The Supreme Court has refused to lift a 30-year consent decree that bars the Republican National Committee from targeting racial and ethnic minorities in its efforts to end fraudulent voting.

Yes....the Republicans are barred from its efforts to END FRAUDULENT VOTING.....so the fraud continues to this day

Funny that Deshard has gone for "NO" voter fraud to "SCANT" voter fraud

Hard to believe democrat voters can't climb on airplanes. What a bummer

Yeah well Desh did something she rarely does here. She pwned your punk asses with some facts.

She's right. Voter fraud is not a significant problem. She proved it to you. 86 convictions for voter fraud in 5 years. That's a whopping 0.000016% of eligible voters. It's not significant.
