Voter Fraud Revisited

Voter Fraud is prevalent throughout the United States and in greater numbers than anyone wants to admit.  Voting is the fundamental reason why common citizens (you, John Q. Public) feel like they have a say in Government.  The great majority of people will never run for office but most of us will vote.  If you undermine that, you undermine the entire country.  So why would anyone resist efforts to purify the voting process?  Because if you can't win legally you might as well cheat.

In the state of Florida alone, there were as many as 53,000 deceased individuals still on the voting records who could have cast ballots from beyond the grave (because no one checks photo ID's at the time of voting...remember?).  There are also nearly 200,000 people registered to vote in the state illegally. Florida has a population of roughly 19 million individuals, so that 53,000 number seems like a small percentage.  Until you realize that the entire U.S. presidency came down to less than 1,000 votes during the 2000 elections.  So, you see, Mr. Holder, there is voter fraud and it is a problem.

Racism In America

You're really stretching when you say it's racist to require someone to show identification before voting. That didn't stop the NAACP from attempting to take over the U.N. and have a large portion of the United States declared insurrectionist bigots.

Voting is the most fundamental right in the United States. Every time someone casts a ballot that does not have legitimate grounds to do so, your vote is diluted and the entire system is undermined (it's also illegal).

Besides, how hard is it to get a photo ID in the first place? This is the 21st century isn't it? Heck, the guy across the street will sell me a fake one for $20. OH, and most states require you to have a photo-ID to register to vote in the first place... so how is asking to see it at the time of voting racist?
