Voter fraud doesn’t exist. Well, except for all of these examples…
The perceived notion that requiring photo ID is not needed because voter fraud is “infrequent” is ridiculous. Below are examples of blatant voter fraud, attempts at fraud or just holes in the system that are going unchecked because a photo ID does not need to be presented when voting:
- Over the last decade at least 400 votes were cast by non-citizens just in Dallas and Bexar County
- In 2004, 41 dead voters requested ballots by mail in Bexar County in 2004
- The Texas Independent reported that the King Street Patriots found nearly 20,000 registered voters shared the same address of 6 or more people in Shelia Jackson Lee’s (TX-18) district. This anomaly was 2-9 times higher than in surrounding districts. At this point in time the KSP’s have review only 3,800 of the 20,000 suspisous registered voters, but already have had over 450 voters thrown off the voter roll because of “duplicate registrations, nonexistent addresses, addresses corresponding to vacant lots, or the drivers licences number not matching the registration.”
- In 2oo4, a Beeville woman was convicted of voting for her dead mother
- In a state auditor’s report 46% of voter registrars said they did NOT have procedures in place to identify ineligible voter applicants, such as felons, non-citizens, or voter who submitted duplicate registration(that’s not a problem is it?)
- In 2007, The Texas Secretary of States Office also found that over 23,500 deceased registered voters but did not have the chance to take them off the voter rolls before the election
- In Harris County over 10,000 registrations, submitted by ACORN, were tossed because of fraudulent address and personal information
These are just a few examples where voter integrity has been jeopardized. Under current law anyone who is able to obtain a voter registration card is able to walk into the corresponding precinct and vote. With so many attempts of voter fraud and the combination of registatars not having the resources to properly vet voter rolls, a photo ID is needed to solve many of the problems.
I’m not sure how liberals can sit there and justify their cause by asking if there have been any indictments re: voter fraud when this is exactly what we’re attempting to accomplish. Stating that voter fraud is mythology is simply delusional. How can we prosecute voter fraud when we don’t have a system in place like Voter ID?
Another example of “mythological” voter fraud: My roommate and I moved into our place about 4 years ago. We both submitted our information for a new voter registration card at the same time. Mine arrived in the post shortly after. His never made it.
Instead, it was sent to an address in north Austin. After that election, we started receiving phone calls from the DNC. Apparently, someone did vote on his behalf.
He filed his paperwork a couple times afterward to change the incorrect address. It took a third time for Travis County to get his information correct.
1Voter fraud exist when someone votes.
Voter registration fraud is exactly what it says. A fraudulent registration. At the voting booth…that’s no harm, no foul.
2One thing worse that voter fraud is election fraud perpetrated by a rogue developer controlled government in Texas. Abbott turns a blind eye to the powerful and corrupt in our case and calls the whistle blowers frauds. Yes the same guy who is lauded for defending the Ten Commandments give no heed to the ninth.
