Remember, to commit voter fraud, which happens 31 times out of every ONE BILLION VOTES (yes, that is a "B" , someone has to walk into a polling place, tell the person there that their name is X, when their real name is not X and the name they tell that poll worker HAS to be on the list in the poll workers hands otherwise they cant vote.
So to commit this crime, which only happens 31 out of every ONE BILLION VOTES

You have to know the exact name of someone on the voting rolls before you can go in and vote in their place, you have to hope they havent already cast that vote (how in the hell you know their name is anybody's guess), then you will risk a 2 year prison term when you do vote in their name.
It does NOT happen and if you support voter ID you support the intentional suppression of minority votes, youth votes and elderly votes and that means you are just as much an enemy to this country as any prior enemy this country has ever had or current enemy like Al Qaeda, please tell me how you can be a bigger enemy to America than PURPOSELY stopping Americans from voting
Now that you know the facts, stop supporting this or accept that you are an enemy of the United States.
Does the word enemy bother some of you, what do we call someone who is working night and day to stop you from voting?

(13,390 posts)That ill intentioned voter would also have to acquire some form of identification. They would also have to fake or steal one.
But then, for someone with such nefarious motives, intercepting a utility bill or something would probably be a negligible risk to advance the goal of overthrowing the US.
