No, no evidence of meaningful fraud.

Thanks, my friend. Sorry for the pugnacious 'tude but I've worked the polls for years as a volunteer and realize how hard it is to commit voter fraud. Anyone who thinks as -5 does, that people are voting using dead people's ID's or mail in ballots don't understand how the process works. They often refer to ancient historical abuses that just can't happen nowadays. County Recorder's offices are tasked with striking deceased voters from the rolls as they receive death certificates from the coroner.

The security and accounting procedures in place are bullet proof in regards to computerized voting machines out here in California. We poll volunteers have to double and triple check vote tallies before packing up the machines and dropping them off at a collection center.

It's always an fun and interesting experience on election day. We always have a bunch of high school students volunteering and there's us old farts regaling them over past elections. You should try it.

Obama was elected twice.

Obviously that could not have happened without massive voter fraud by the Democrats.

Individuals making the individual decision to cast their individual vote illegally is no way to flip an election. To do that, you need access to polling data. That pretty much rules out individual action of any kind.

The whole voter fraud thing is Republican propaganda aimed at convincing the gullible and unthinking that voter ID laws are a real solution to an imaginary problem. What voter ID laws actually are is a real solution to a real problem. That problem is the fact that the Republicans haven't been able to win the popular vote in national elections for a long time and, in light of changing demographics, will be even less likely to do so in the future.

I have heard of riding off into the sunset but nothing this dramatic.

Trudging through the forest, I happened upon a Sasquatch eating government cheese while talking on his cell phone...

Sounds like Frank Zappa and Warren Zevon discussing northwest legends with Jerry Garcia.

Way to go California! Wish it was the same everywhere.....


The only voter fraud I see is the States making it harder to register. A targeted attempt to keep low by placing hurtles and time constraints the turnout.


But then again it not who votes anyway it the ones who count them that counts it seems.
