There ya go Puss. Now whatcha got?Nuthin, huh? You were here when I wrote that, and you ran like your *** was on fire.Fox News reported that the Bush administration was unable to prove that in person voter fraud was anything but rare.And a recent study by the Republican National Lawyers Association has also shown that in person voter fraud is extremely rare, and does not warrant the type of legislation that is being pushed by Republican governors and legislatures. Those laws are specifically designed to disenfranchise people who tend to vote for Democrats.Bush Justice Department’s war on voter fraud found little evidence of the illegal voting it alleged. Between 2002 and 2006, the DOJ’s efforts resulted in only 86 convictions out of nearly 200 million votes cast, a rate of 0.0000004%. (Want more?)Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott, a Republican, launched an investigation in 2005 to uncover what he called an "epidemic" of voter fraud. But reviews of Abbott's investigation two years later yielded no cases of voter impersonation fraud. A Dallas Morning News review in 2008 found the 26 cases prosecuted were all against Democrats, most involved blacks and Hispanics, and typically involved people who helped elderly voters with mail-in ballots, but failed to follow state law by signing their names and addresses on the envelopes. Abbot's investigation was paid for with a $1.4 million Justice Department crime-fighting grant. After a five-year hunt for voter fraud, the Bush administration's Justice Department came up with little widespread fraud, finding mostly cases of people mistakenly filling out voter registration forms or voting when they didn't know they were ineligible, The New York Times reported in 2007. But none of the cases involved a person voting as someone else.http://www.foxnews.c...ng-voter-fraud/Gee, that's just what the NYTimes article I posted said isn't it Puss? You know, the one you were so quick to dismiss?Will you dismiss the Fox article as quickly?Jackhole. Edited by MistyBlue, 21 December 2011 - 11:10 PM.
