Contrary to your blathering, I routinely ban for the kind of lie that you told.

Now, lest anyone get me wrong, I’m glad we have Erick as a backstop for banning. Having his kind heart do reviews of the bans is good for us.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t mock you.

Shoo.

I do worry that your proposal of only allowing registration at court houses and sheriff’s offices would unfairly disenfranchise service men and women in addition to rural residents and the elderly- not exactly the Democratic base, most of the time.

While the 5,000 or so vote margin, for McCain, was close it would have taken an awful lot of careful work for voter fraud to have made a difference.

Bullet point 2 – I only ask that you provide me with other examples, I have looked and haven’t found any. Quite likely there are other examples, in the interest of clarity and argument could you provide some?

Bullet point 3 – Warner did hold onto his margin, I think it was something like 150 votes that changed. So I guess you are right the 2 cases are quite different.

Would you have been happy with no recount had Franken won it by 300 or so votes? From your extremely partisan posts I believe not. Basically it appears that you think having an R after your name guarantees probity and having a D after your name guarantees a lack of morals. I like to look at facts not labels.

Thanks for the ref on voter fraud, I read the article and find one direct quote relating to voter fraud – “At least 935 of the felons, or some 40%, had apparently cast a ballot in a recent election. Within the context of the article it appears to be a conclusion drawn by the WSJ editorial writer. It may be true, though, if it is, I wonder why none of the very motivated federal prosecutors did not follow through.

In ways the article confirms my conclusion that there is very, very little voter fraud. People on Red State seem to confuse voter registration fraud with voter fraud. Convolving the two leads to the conclusion that Republicans are losing elections due to fraud, I just don’t think this is the case.

If you take the time to take your readers into account when posting then more people will understand what you are trying to say.

Don’t blame your reading comprehension problems on me.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I haven’t read the book, only read about the book. I am perfectly willing to believe that more voter fraud has been committed by Dems than Repubs, on the other hand I don’t believe that there have been very many cases of actual voter fraud in the last 20 years or so, at least in elections of import. I do believe there has been a variety of voter registration “misbehavior” fortunately this doesn’t usually affect the outcomes of elections. The differentiation may be subtle but it is incredibly important.

You method of listing my possible faults while ignoring the question doesn’t seem to further discussion.

I seriously had no clue as to what “meme” you were referring to in your post. If you take the time to take your readers into account when posting then more people will understand what you are trying to say.

If you read the other comments I have made here you will see that I don’t necessarily believe that the 2000 election was stolen.

I meant the title of the post to imply I meant the Florida Supreme Court.

Several elections ago, someone voted using my sister’s name. She was in Boston at the time, so I know it wasn’t her. That was prior to any voter ID requirements. We alerted the election judges, but there was nothing they could do about it.

When names get on the rolls, it’s easy as pie to vote it. Even now, with voter id requirements, I could make a neat little pay stub up on my word processor, use it for ID and vote any name I wanted to.

We should require government issued voter ID for every vote cast, and no one should be allowed to register anywhere except the court house or sheriff’s office.

And if I were in charge, I would completely purge every voter roll in the country and no one would be allowed to vote who couldn’t show valid ID and re-register.

Dems and libs know the smell of a real “lib/dem”. And they are ready to “kill” if they find out that a “D” is really an “R” after all.

D Test No. 1: Can you do “corruption” with a smile in your face?

Blago, Kirkpatrick, Rezco, Richardson, etc. have passed this basic requirement and look where it has gotten them into…. FAME and GLORY.
