  • No, The Demon-crats Don't Cheat...

    This has always bothered me, in my state you can register to vote without showing proof of citizenship. Just check the box. I once asked my Registrar of Voters if any one follows up on this, she said no. So basically we take them at their word...

    Texas Dems ask noncitizens to register to vote, send applications with citizenship box pre-checked

    The Texas Democratic Party asked non-citizens to register to vote, sending out applications to immigrants with the box citizenship already checked “Yes,” according to new complaints filed Thursday asking prosecutors to see what laws may have been broken.

    The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked applications, and also included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who aren’t citizens, received the mailing.

    “This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle,” said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a group that’s made its mark policing states’ voter registration practices.

    The Texas secretary of state’s office said it, too, had gotten complaints both from immigrants and from relatives of dead people who said they got mailings asking them to register.

    this way they can say "we just did it as a courtesy, we did not encourage anyone to lie, anyone who was not a citizen should not have returned the forms" and the people sending it in can say "I never checked the box saying I was a citizen"

    Pretty sneaky.

        We keep hearing about voter fraud, and foreign influences on our elections, and the democrats dismiss it with a handwave saying it never happens and republicans are just trying to stop minorities from voting. But it does happen, and almost every single time we hear about it, it is the democrats who are doing the cheating. I can't remember any stories about republicans doing any voter fraud.

          I've seen instances cited here, but they're decidedly the exception.

          I'm also less than enamored by the thread title. Not all Republicans are pure as the driven snow, and not all Democrats are straight up evil (and not by a long shot either way). Let's not demonize the opposition, shall we?
