You have a better chance of snapping a photo of Bigfoot than you have of a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction, but it infuriates me that the myth of widespread voter fraud persists.
They have nothing real to run on. They never do. But idiots will work themselves into a lather over shit that doesn’t happen like this.
All they have is engineered outrage and grievance politics. And the chuds will eat it up.
And the chuds will eat it up.
Really feel sorry for the orange cult folks. They are incredibly ignorant and gullible to the point of being their own worst enemy. Demons will gather up their souls one day because nothing else tolerates such filth.
They’re beating this drum now so they can claim the election was stolen by “illegals” voting in swing districts. They just need to (at a minimum) challenge a couple thousand votes in 2-3 states.
You’re right. They’re trying to gin up the specter of voter fraud in case they lose. No one voting Republican needs proof anyway.
Don’t forget the voter suppression before the election. They’ll have long list of blue voters that must be purged because maybe one of them is illegally voting.
They can purge you in certain states if you skipped an election. Show up to vote and surprise! You’re not registered.
And when voter fraud is found… It’s Republicans.
“If I feel like I could justify doing it then that means they can do the same so I better do it to compensate for them doing it!” But the truth is, the other side isn’t doing it…
There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.
If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.
Isn’t it already illegal to vote as a non-citizen?
Yeah that’s the point. They know it’s already illegal, they put it on the ballot to drive turnout. Conservative voters are convinced that non citizens are voting in droves.
And to trick them into banning ranked choice voting.
Edit: spelling
I intend to.
Its rare enough to be trivial, and when it happens, it’s usually someone who doesn’t realize that they are not eligible. For example, if someone came to the country at a young age and mistakenly thought that they could vote.
But as it turn out, policies that require people to verify their citizenship are also very good at disenfranchising eligible voters who are poor, young, immigrants, disabled, or non-native English speakers. Neat, huh?
Edit: I forgot LGBT folks who may have changed their name or lack access to their childhood documents.
iirc changing your gender in Florida is still illegal even if you don’t vote
You want to claim fraud to get the RIGHT people to vote
Also to get the
whiteright people to intimidate thebrownwrong people into staying home, under the guise of “poll watchers.”
Anything to avoid having actual policies and ideas.
There’s a this American Life episode about this, starts off being about the birthday paradox… Gives a good run down of how voter fraud has been disproven as an issue:
Years ago the ACLU actually had Kris Kobach’s records on voter fraud cases from when he was KS Attorney General. I pored over them, and over fifteen years of reports he prosecuted something like ten cases affecting even fewer votes.
And that’s a guy who built his whole career around voter fraud. Even he couldn’t produce evidence that it actually existed.
Those records may still be on the ACLU’s website if any of you want to take a look.
From what I remember, more republicans committed voter fraud last election over anyone else to ensure their “unbeatable god” wins
I’d say it’s ironic, but given their history, it’s really not.
It wasn’t that long ago that Donald Trump ordered mail drops removed, and Louis DeJoy ordered post offices shut down, and sorting machines removed from USPS distribution centers.
That was objectively the biggest voter fraud ever committed.
They always try to (need to?) turn things into a binary. Yes or no. It’s a question of how many, but they find one and act like it’s everywhere.
Same thing with the one woman killed by an illegal immigrant. They find the case study and act like it’s everywhere.
Its just part of their desperate attempts to hold onto power. Theyre running scared
Start looking for illegals bused in by the GOP to vote illegally.
