Yeaaaa..... the news is filled with stories of people voting illegally. The only reason this always comes up is because they realize the more people vote the worse they lose. The right has always tried to suppress the vote.

REPORT: From Poll Taxes To Voter ID Laws: A Short History of Conservative Voter Suppression
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2...rt-history-of-conservative-voter-suppression/

In the 1964 presidential elections, a young political operative named Bill guarded a largely African-American polling place in South Phoenix, Arizona like a bull mastiff.

Bill was a legal whiz who knew the ins and outs of voting law and insisted that every obscure provision be applied, no matter what. He even made those who spoke accented English interpret parts of the constitution to prove that they understood it. The lines were long, people fought, got tired or had to go to work, and many of them left without voting. It was a notorious episode long remembered in Phoenix political circles.

It turned out that it was part of a Republican Party strategy known as “Operation Eagle Eye”, and “Bill” was future Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. He was confronted with his intimidation tactics in his confirmation hearings years later, and characterized his behavior as simple arbitration of polling place disputes. In doing so, he set a standard for GOP dishonesty and obfuscation surrounding voting rights that continues to this day."

This is an excellent excerpt from a 2007 Human Events article!

What I find very interesting is that even your own "facts" show how miniscule the problem of voter fraud actually is. 52 convictions in 5 years? Is this what gets you people so worked up? I find that very hard to believe.

They've got to have their manufactured controversies or they've got nothing.

Most people in this country labor and I know from your 1 sentence posts and your defense of the 1% that you hate them and believe they are uneducated and poor.

First you say I should explain myself when I have written a perfectly understandable post.

Now you say I should try to understand what you have written?

Very well, I will try again.

OK, you were responding to me and decided to talk about someone else using the word "rampant".

Maybe you should have tried to answer my post instead of arguing with someone else.
