    Apparently you’re a little slow on the uptake so let me help you out here. She’s a rich, white women, that doesn’t have to deal with the consequences of her rhetoric in the form of suppressed wages and importing of criminals from south of our boarder.

      I figured he thinks that the areas outside New England, the west coast, and a few liberal enclaves was a land of terrible oppression, where everyone is made to serve the evil straight white males. Women were treated as baby factories where we are denied abortion health care. Minorities are treated as slaves to work in the evil straight white males huge homes. And gays were sent to labor camps. Of course justice is swift and dissidence is dealt with by being shot by an evil straight white male, that naturally all have guns and are allowed to shot non evil straight white males anytime they please. At least, that’s the impressions I get based on his post of how the rest of the country is.

        I wonder what the chances are that each of them voted Democrat?
        We all know that purging the voter roles of people who are deceased or have moved is a problem. While most registrars work to keep the registry as clean as possible, there is no coordinated mechanism for doing so. I note that the Brietbart article does it's usual task of using "facts" to spin a message. So here is what is NOT in the article, that I can find: evidence that any of these people have actually voted in ANY election. Yes, because of the age, presumably they've been on the rolls for a while, and we should have better mechanisms for purging them than we have. Approximately 727K people live in Ohio 12. The U.S. Death rate is 844/100K/year. So in any given year, Ohio 12 expects an average of 6,135 deaths, or about 17 per day. In any part of the country, most deaths are of people of voting age, so the voter registrar is trying to keep up with purging these people, plus those who move (which I would have to imagine is a larger number) while simultaneously keeping up with new voters. Of the three, I would imagine the latter gets precedence. I also wonder just how well they are funded to devote this kind of attention to voter polls.

        I keep coming back to the same thing: no one has shown there is actually a problem to be solved here. They just raise a great deal of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, and then holler "rigged." IMO, we have bigger fish to fry.

          well they usually check your driver's license when voting. So they would see my driver's license was from a different state and I would not be able to vote. But I bet when people first move to another state and their old license has not expired yet (which can be up to 8 years) they could conceivably do that for a while. If caught, it is a felony.

            "Not common" is an understatement. No one has shown that this is anything other than "extremely rare."

            Yes - it would be great to apply a bit of computer technology and clean this up so that moves and deaths are immediately trapped in the system. That takes resources (e.g., money). But getting more money in this age of "government bad" is extremely difficult to do.

              So you are saying that the "majority side" are too lazy or stupid to get valid ID cards? Maybe that is why they vote democrat.

                    Unless you run a classy joint, then it's someone to whom you rent a room.

                      Try having your brain tricking you into mixing up homonyms and we’ll see how well you do on your post.

                        There have been numerous state and local studies which uncovered numerous examples of voter fraud over the past few years such as the one in North Carolina where the state board of elections found 35,750 cases of double voting in 2012 -- people registered to vote there and in another state and who cast votes in both states. And that is just in the 28 states which participated in the 2014 Interstate Crosscheck meaning the number is probably much higher[1].

                        Ken Block of Simpatico Software Systems did a much more limited but similar examination of 21 states for the 2016 election and uncovered, for example, 2200 cases of double voting in Florida -- which is four times George W. Bush’s margin of victory in 2000. He estimates that if he had access to the records from all 50 states "there would be 40,000 duplicate votes if data from every state were available."

                        And a recent examination found over a thousand non citizens registered to vote in just a few counties in Virginia (which did not include the larger population centers where they tend to congregate). Further, that just covered self-reported aliens -- those who were accidentally caught only because when they renewed their driver’s license, they told the truth that they were a non-citizen. How many didn't tell the truth and admit to breaking the law?

                        The Heritage Foundation keeps a non-comprehensive election fraud database which has something like 1100 examples of proven incidents of fraud resulting in 938 criminal convictions and 43 civil penalties. And Recently Investor’s Business Daily reported that according to a study of U. S. census data, the U.S. has more registered voters than actual active live voters.

                        Adding to this, Scott Foval, the National Field Director for Americans United for Change, was caught on video describing how operatives could commit voter fraud by shipping in out of state people to vote, declared that "You can prove conspiracy if there's a bus. If there are cars, it's much harder to prove." According to the Washington Times he openly admits that Democrats have been doing this for decades:
                        "It’s a pretty easy thing for Republicans to say, ‘Well, they’re busing people in,’" Mr. Foval said. "Well, you know what? We’ve been busing people in to deal with you [multiple expletives] for 50 years, and we’re not going to stop now. We’re just going to find a different way to do it."

                            If Tass finds something that he thinks might support his case, he gets so excited he doesn't read the context - he just posts it, then repeats it over and over and over, maybe thinking it will eventually say what he thought it said.
                            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                              It is from media matters, so there is that.
