Liberal Forum

To a degree, considering the Democrats are fond of letting illegals, felons and the deceased vote.The constant cries of Democratic voter fraud, are a diversionary tactic used by the right to deflect attention away from their regular practice of election fraud, and voter supression, which are much more serious. Those tactics affect thousands of votes, not just one vote here or there.Which party consistently gets busted for voter fraud?I love how you guys keep throwing that out there, but never bother to post any proof of all this rampant voter fraud.You just repeat what you've been told like a good little flying monkey.Under George W. Bush the DOJ launched something they called their voter integrity initiative in 2002. They were intent on exposing all this supposed Democratic voter fraud. As of 2007 the DOJ's own statistics showed that of 87 ballot-fraud convictions obtained within those five years, 17 were for noncitizen voting and another 6 were for multiple voting. Most of the cases involved vote-buying schemes hatched by local politicians in Kentucky, West Virginia and elsewhere.But the voter fraud folklore serves its purpose. It enables Republicans to push through state requirements for photos and other forms of voter identification, rules that depress turnout and impact elderly and minority voters, that is, Democrats. This is the real fraud.
