re: #182 Rightwingconspirator

Okay you are asking me for anecdotal, which is pretty questionable. But fraudulent votes were proven in the case of Dornan vs Sanchez. Just 9in that case) not enough to overturn the result. But if that had been closer, what then?

How many times are election results within error margins? On that many occasions we may as well have flipped a coin.

I don’t know the details of the case you’ve mentioned, but the details in the cases I’ve seen examined more deeply show that it’s things like immigrants not knowing the laws and voting in two places - not intent to vote fraudulently to change the outcome of an election. Very, very, very few people would risk serious jail time to cast a vote in an election, and as Charles and others point out, voter ID law would make no difference with someone that motivated.

My perspective is that the magnitude of the problem simply doesn’t justify the GOP efforts. There are other, far more important and effective ways to improve voting authenticity. And the GOP efforts will likely, in balance, reduce voting in constituencies that traditionally vote Democratic.
