Those that see no basis to claims of voter fraud should be more willing to have substantive evidence to prove him the fool. The only objectors would be those that fear the contrary.
Every investigation of voter fraud has found it's practically nonexistent. This's a transparent pretext for new Jim Crow voter suppression legislation, to follow Republican success gutting the Voting Rights Act, using schemes like gerrymandering, voter ID and CrossCheck for partisan advantage. The danger of Republican's party-before-country creed around gaming the electoral system of this country is that by debasing and delegitimizing electoral integrity, they forfeit the consent of the governed at the heart of our democracy. When the elections are finally to Republican's liking, they'll no longer have the confidence of the people, and will be worthless to Republicans as well.
Okay, what's your take on reports like this one? That hit "right wing" sites in the past 24 hours.
Also, as a non-American, what's the issue with voter ID? Every vote I have ever done has required ID, and it is not as if it is difficult to obtain, and seeing as elections are not some secret event, can be obtained in the lead up to an election.
Well… The Washington Times is a conservative daily broadsheet newspaper run by an international mind control cult. So nothing strange there. Same nutjobs run UPI. It’s one of the more grounded of the Republican chattering teeth on the Beltway. On a good day, it might not be any less sane than outlets I’d rank in about the same class: Hot Air, Free Beacon, American Thinker. At least a couple of Times people know about Snapzu, I think, so due respect.
The story you linked, though, represents the kind of gruel these outfits crank out day in and day out. It’s made up, given the color of science, but ultimately it’s not a good meal, is it? It satisfies a hunger of bigots. Some little thing to justify bottomless self-pity about how oppressed they are. But not for long. It’s habit forming. Before long, they’ll need more, then more still. Because appetites for resentment like that neither satisfy nor subside on their own. People, brought low, want people they can feel better than. Provoked by, to focus their anger.
What’s my take? The president of the United States is lying through his teeth, citing as evidence not this sham here but some nebulously more credible study. The author will gladly tell you they ultimately found zero evidence of non-citizens voting. What are nativists going to believe, though, their gruppenführer or the science they use for torches?
American elections are corrupt down deep, deep into the soil of our history. Like so much else about U.S. politics, the kayfabe of partisan rancor is used to mask the reality about which so much sturm und drang is made. The function of this issue is to satisfy Trump’s nativist constituency, not to delve into the actual corruption of our elections. For instance, voter ID sounds easy enough. Until one of these high status, high ranked, Republican governors decides to close every state facility that can provide that ID within a four-hour drive of your house, leaving one one such office that’s open two hours a week. That’s the kind of real world, every day brass tacks corruption of our democratic process this kind of fake news is meant to distract from.
“Trump and others have been misreading our research and exaggerating our results to make claims we don’t think our research supports,” Richman says. “I’m not sure why they continue to do it, but there’s not much I can do about that aside from set the record straight.”
Richman himself is not backing down from his initial findings. He says that even if some people did check the wrong citizenship box, enough respondents repeatedly reported voting as noncitizens to indicate that some noncitizens do in fact vote. Even some of Richman’s detractors, such as Rick Hasen, author of the Election Law Blog, acknowledge that “noncitizen voting is a real, if relatively small, problem.” Richman says those on the left are just as wrong to reflexively claim that voter fraud doesn’t exist at all as Trump is to continue insisting voter fraud is a national conspiracy.
Here’s what the math should look like (that is, if Richman’s initial study was accurate—which many researchers doubt). If 6.4 percent of the estimated 20.3 million noncitizens in the US voted, and if just 81.8 percent of them voted for Clinton (the percentage who voted for Obama in his 2008 study), that’s an added margin of a little more than 835,000 votes. In other words: Even with all of those supposedly fraudulent ballots, Clinton still would have won the popular vote by more than 2 million votes.
So no, even reading the critique, and reading the wired piece, I am still convinced that more then "0" noncitizens voted. So yes, Trump is insane, and going on about 2 million. However, much like the project veritas videos, the dead voter turnouts in Colorado, and California, the all smoke and no fire with the machines in Detroit, this is another case of another story refusing to die when it comes to election fraud in the States. Calling everything fake news only leads to more people actually reading brietbart, and RT.
And why wouldn't the left champion voter ID if it can fall under the bracket of government services? And it is a little bizarre to think that offices could not have a geographical minimum requirement, and only offer voter ID. People do happen to get passports and drivers incenses issued by the government all the time with minimal issues. It is almost as if Voter ID can be wrapped into these services. Looking at wikipedia, it seems you have seven states already with strict photo ID laws, and non strict photo ID in another ten. People can fill out a form, submit it with original and photocopied* documents/passport photo, and have the final ID mailed out, with minimal fuss. I would think solidifying attacks from political opponents by tackling the same problem, and providing a solution that falls under social services would help ensure these offices stay open. Plus, voter ID is once every 5 years. A day to get proper ID is not an issue, even with the "brass tacks corruption. "
You're right, Voter ID does sound simple enough. I have been dealing with it all my adult life, and as far as I ...

You're right, Voter ID does sound simple enough. I have been dealing with it all my adult life, and as far as I am concerned, this will be a cultural difference that I won't understand. EDITED: Made an absolute statement that I wouldn't be able to back. And skipped two important words. Shit happens online.
James O'Keefe? That's a shame. I thought you might've been serious. The only way you fall for hoaxes like his is if you want to or maybe you're so strung out on your bigotry you need to. Which one are you?
The Bush Administration tasked all the U.S. attorney's offices with not just finding in-person voter fraud but prosecuting it as their highest priority. It just wasn't there to find. Eventually, the attorney general started purging the U.S. attorneys that were failing to bring in those non-existent cases, and it brought him down. You can believe in James O'Keefe or the Easter Bunny for all I care, but if you think there's any problem with in-person voter fraud in the U.S. you've got an underlying personal problem. That said, if you think James O'Keefe found what America's U.S. attorneys couldn't, again, that goes to a personal problem.
And why wouldn't the left champion voter ID if it can fall under the bracket of government services?
Voter ID? You know, because I'm pretty sure I've told you, I've always enjoyed your contributions. To this day, I think you've made the best snap I've ever seen here by sheer force of research on a great topic. But you seem to be on another side of this issue and I want to clarify for you that it's not an issue but a creed. This is about political subjugation by some people of other people.
Today, one of the ways Jim Crow works has to do with voter ID. Your tone above leaves no doubt you think it's good policy. Require some new form of ID that's never been needed for civic participation before then make sure it's practically impossible to get. The thing is it's not always voter ID.
Sometimes it's a literacy test, because if you can't read then somebody must be telling you for whom to vote. Literacy tests certain people always seem to fail. Sometimes it's a poll tax, a fee you have to pay to vote, because otherwise somebody might be paying you to vote a certain way. A fee that's always more than certain people seem to have. Sometimes it's a noose.
There are counties in this country where the vote totals somehow come out before the sheriff brings in the ballots to be counted. There are electronic voting machines that need 'calibration,' those that have all the security required by the state elections board switched off, and those that're so easily hacked it defies belief that they aren't routinely. There are so many backwaters and eddies in the electoral system in this country that either and both parties can, have, do and will corrupt the voting process beyond the dreams of modest people.
I myself have had 'irregularities' occur with my voter registration and ballots in 2016 that mean my votes were almost certainly never counted. That's the real, baseline corruption. What this old time Know-Nothing gadfly Trump is after here is more than pleasing crowds of knuckle-dragging white supremacists and moronic, scapegoat-hungry nativists like MagisterLudi. He wants to broaden, lengthen and deepen Jim Crow without disturbing in any way the traditional, longstanding ways that U.S. elections have always been corrupt.
Project is not a bigot, and you know that. There is a cultural difference, perhaps. Distrust in our neck of the woods, where we have seen, even been victims of manipulation in our real lives. Others maybe come from a more homogenized environment, not so threatening. I get where Project is coming from, and it is not from
anything other than being honest.
Many countries aren’t Texas, or Alabama, or North Carolina, or the neo-Confederate South of an Attorney General Sessions’ Justice Department under the Roberts Court and the Trump presidency.
Having ID seems reasonable. And you don’t have to worry about getting it. More over, once folks that’ve never needed these forms of ID to vote before succeed in getting it, Jim Crow will move onto the next way to manipulate you into resenting the victims of whatever that voter suppression scheme is.
Totally agree with this in the US context. Real ID is a good example. Some states have not adopted it. They won't be able to go on military bases or board a plane or enter certain federal building without the Real ID recognized driver's license. It is a de facto National ID...and nobody thinks that a problem?
Enough for a quarter of the states to pass laws specifically forbidding complying with the federal REAL ID Act. Enough so that “Homeland Security,” (eesh, that still sounds creepy) keeps pretending to give out ‘waivers’ to states. Until they don’t.
With so many state legislatures dead set against it, my guess is that Motherland Security will extend the requirement deadline for air travel past 2018.
I think I'll leave you under your bridge, to find a careless traveller to ask your riddles about so-and-so's massive, in-person voter fraud and what fraction of a vote such-and-such a person has.
Why? Because your that obvious or are facts censored?
Adelle once told me straight out without any accompanying comment "FUCK YOU!" and he faced no censure, nor comments to the contrary. Comment is saved so there can be no question as to my claim.
I don't blame her, We know each other we go back a long way on social media. Back to the Mixx days and Digg Patriot days. It is not the first time someone told you fuck you or me. You stop it!
You can't even tell the truth when you're crying. If you care to look back, I never used all caps. What am I, a monster? In any case, you had that and worse coming. Go read yourself.
Nah, I could never enjoy your or anyone else's misery.
What is it you think you're doing here? Sharing with us the depth of your knowledge and the gentle humor of your wisdom? You're a troll. What you lack in any ability to learn or apologize or admit mistakes you make up for in easy recourse to blatant lies told for their own sake, bogus arguments made specifically to shut down reasonable conversation, and an endless series of attacks made on a very short list of go-to scapegoats that includes the few people here.
Look what you're doing now. That guy is your oldest, closest acquaintance here and he hates your guts. So mission accomplished for you, then. It's like you're a walking, talking spleen that secretes nothing but bile. Kind of hard to be around. So why don't you wrap this latest exchange up with your trademark charm, maybe some personal threats and potshots at Muslim women and the Democratic Party, and go back under your bridge to plot your next conniption fit.
It's odd you should feel this way when in fact it is you that introduces/initiates insult and innuendo as a response to any comment on any subject I wish to issue. Look back, I've never initiated such. It's documented and undeniable fact.
You know, I think I knew that when you started giving me commands like you would a dog. What do you think you’re doing at Snapzu, then? Braying for its own sake?
It’d be one thing if I thought you were lying to yourself. The thing is, I think you lie as a flourish on top of your overall trolling, right before the undeservedly smug lulz you give yourself.
Oh, I can tell you’ve really reconnected with lost friends lately. And here I thought you’d driven that one away long ago, right along with so many other users. Well, you know how the old saying goes: if at first you don’t succeed, get super-creepy.
You seem deeply concerned about my, I guess I could only term as, status here among not my, but your peers.
The problem with that is I would have to ,myself, draw some sort of validation from you/them. Haven't I made it perfectly clear, validation is not your's or their's to grant?
Yes, it’s clear yours is a self-stroking ego, blissfully unaware of any social cues or even simple, human societal expectations. No doubt that’s how you’ve managed to ooze so much contempt.
That comment’s not meant for me, is it? That’s a private thing for your poetry chapbook, I suppose. That kind of high brow stuff makes me dizzy. What’s it about? Vindictiveness, maybe?
“Thingys,” was it? I don’t remember that specifically. I’ll have to go back and see if you’ve ninja-edited that comment. And, yes, you have. I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise. Light-hearted banter, really? That may be our problem. That’s not at all how I remember thingys. Maybe we didn’t see your asinine, prideful, bigoted, gay-bashing anti-joke in quite the same terms, for instance, then. Perhaps if we’d been able to take social cues, or change our point of view in the slightest fucking degree, or thrive on anything but sneering contempt for everything beyond the range of our nose, your feelings wouldn’t be quite so at-risk, nor your nose so absurdly out of joint.
What's the harm?
Those that see no basis to claims of voter fraud should be more willing to have substantive evidence to prove him the fool. The only objectors would be those that fear the contrary.
Every investigation of voter fraud has found it's practically nonexistent. This's a transparent pretext for new Jim Crow voter suppression legislation, to follow Republican success gutting the Voting Rights Act, using schemes like gerrymandering, voter ID and CrossCheck for partisan advantage. The danger of Republican's party-before-country creed around gaming the electoral system of this country is that by debasing and delegitimizing electoral integrity, they forfeit the consent of the governed at the heart of our democracy. When the elections are finally to Republican's liking, they'll no longer have the confidence of the people, and will be worthless to Republicans as well.

Well… The Washington Times is a conservative daily broadsheet newspaper run by an international mind control cult. So nothing strange there. Same nutjobs run UPI. It’s one of the more grounded of the Republican chattering teeth on the Beltway.

Looking through the wired article:
AKA ... that didn't disprove the republican nutters I linked. If anything, it didn't provide an accurate critique of Richman's results, found here. You have to go for a paywall for that. But there's an app for that. These researchers accept the results. These one only acknowledge that it caused controversy. And that is just by going off of the only 6 papers that cite the original article through google scholar.
So no, even reading the critique, and reading the wired piece, I am still convinced that more then "0" noncitizens voted. So yes, Trump is insane, and going on about 2 million. However, much like the project veritas videos, the dead voter turnouts in Colorado, and California, the all smoke and no fire with the machines in Detroit, this is another case of another story refusing to die when it comes to election fraud in the States.

Because it would loose voters, as in illegal voters, as in voter fraud.
It has been exposed/documented in local elections. Never has a government investigation been done on the national level.
The only question to be answered by such an investigation is:.....how many?

Fair. Something Jim Crow has always pretended to be.
There is nothing fair about Jim Crow.
Have to show ID in many countries to vote.
Many countries aren’t Texas, or Alabama, or North Carolina, or the neo-Confederate South of an Attorney General Sessions’ Justice Department under the Roberts Court and the Trump presidency.

A failed investigation, would do the contrary to your every point.
I am curious however what might constitute an affirmation of voter fraud, 3-5 million, 1-3 million, 1/2-1 million, 1/4-1/2 million, or less.
Try your dishonesty on someone else.
After your last two performances?
LOL
I think I'll leave you under your bridge, to find a careless traveller to ask your riddles about so-and-so's massive, in-person voter fraud and what fraction of a vote such-and-such a person has.
Sit.
Masher.
It can come out that Trump also benefited from voter fraud, making his presidency less legitimate.
It certainly could, if there was a snowball’s chance in Hell this ‘investigation’ wasn’t a sham.
Wish I had more than one vote for your comment!
Hey, your one vote is one-fifth of the clicks Trump is basing his claims on. You’re 20% of three to five million people according to Trump.
You know that she's a he right?
LOL
You should edit that!
Why? Because your that obvious or are facts censored?
Adelle once told me straight out without any accompanying comment "FUCK YOU!" and he faced no censure, nor comments to the contrary. Comment is saved so there can be no question as to my claim.
Stop your and this site's duplicity here and now.
I don't blame her, We know each other we go back a long way on social media. Back to the Mixx days and Digg Patriot days. It is not the first time someone told you fuck you or me. You stop it!
"her"? It's a he,.... fact,..... done and over.
Mixx yes, Digg no. At the very least be accurate.
He or her does not matter to me.
"I don't blame her"
"He or her does not matter to me."..... maybe, ,,,maybe not.
LOL, see ya.
You can't even tell the truth when you're crying. If you care to look back, I never used all caps. What am I, a monster? In any case, you had that and worse coming. Go read yourself.
You will see me if this continues not Lol.
LOL,
I was, still am embarrassed for ole jc and "his" (I assume) slobbering.
See me? Name the place, nah you'll have to come to me. I'll not spend any money over this triteness.
" if this continues" , use some self restraint.
Lol Look in the mirror!
I'm glad we had this little chat.
I used to think a little highly of you, not that it should matter to you,
but brings a clarity to myself....Thank you.
Frankly I don't give a damn what you think anymore!
Whew,,,,,,,,, Don't ya all feel better now?
LOL
Are you paid for what you do?
"what you do?"
What might that be?..... I am paid, and well, for my profession, that's far and apart from here.
Answer please!
??????????? I did.
thank you!
No you did not.
Stop it,
and actually peruse the thread.
No last word for you I know you.
@jcscher - "what you do?"
What might that be?..... I am paid, and well, for my profession, that's far and apart from here. 27 minutes ago.....there .,,,,,,,,,,jeez
Now if you wish to clarify "what you do",,,,,,,,fine,,,,if not, that too is fine.
Are you getting extra "points" for the length/stretch here? LOL
Me too! You must still be an umpire. I am retired and well paid to be. LOL!
" still be an umpire" ,LOL,,,,,,,, I have umpired many a little league games, unpaid, back when my children were small.
You have taken this to the very depths........ Congratulations
Have a good one.
You also enjoyed it.
Nah, I could never enjoy your or anyone else's misery.
As to your retirement, I hope neither party screws with your SSI.

Feel better now?
It's odd you should feel this way when in fact it is you that introduces/initiates insult and innuendo as a response to any comment on any subject I wish to issue. Look back, I've never initiated such. It's documented and undeniable fact.
I will and do respond with like and kind.
I’m good. You, you might want to learn how to make friends.
I have no need for "virtual" friends. I'm old school mine/we share actual experiences, not dashes on a keyboard, from who knows what.
By the way I never considered jc a friend, just respected a dignity he once displayed, back in the day.
You know, I think I knew that when you started giving me commands like you would a dog. What do you think you’re doing at Snapzu, then? Braying for its own sake?
There you go again,
have fun with/enjoy it.......LOL
Just don't bluff/pretend outrage when it comes back at/to you.
It’d be one thing if I thought you were lying to yourself. The thing is, I think you lie as a flourish on top of your overall trolling, right before the undeservedly smug lulz you give yourself.
Sometimes it's better to keep one's thoughts to themselves.
Obviously this is not such a time for you. But you could not have picked a subject more delightful than
myself.
Ask around. See how many people here feel that way. Can’t wait to see what number you’d say you came up with. Three to five million, maybe?
Oh, I'm sure I could get hundreds of millions, perhaps billions to agree,
"Sometimes it's better to keep one's thoughts to themselves."
You should try it.
Oh, I can tell you’ve really reconnected with lost friends lately. And here I thought you’d driven that one away long ago, right along with so many other users. Well, you know how the old saying goes: if at first you don’t succeed, get super-creepy.
You seem deeply concerned about my, I guess I could only term as, status here among not my, but your peers.
The problem with that is I would have to ,myself, draw some sort of validation from you/them. Haven't I made it perfectly clear, validation is not your's or their's to grant?
Yes, it’s clear yours is a self-stroking ego, blissfully unaware of any social cues or even simple, human societal expectations. No doubt that’s how you’ve managed to ooze so much contempt.
I think it's more to your perception of status in the overall realm of real/actual thingys.
Yours is obviously extravagant
mine, conventional.
That comment’s not meant for me, is it? That’s a private thing for your poetry chapbook, I suppose. That kind of high brow stuff makes me dizzy. What’s it about? Vindictiveness, maybe?
It was in response, meant I suppose for anyone to peruse, as would be the nature of posts.
Yep, it was pretty "highbrow" esp the reference to "thingys" might be beyond most to grasp.
Your free to make it, and have, about what you will/must.
The thing I most admire about you is, your ability to drive light hearted banter into
ritualistic cruelty. LOL
“Thingys,” was it? I don’t remember that specifically. I’ll have to go back and see if you’ve ninja-edited that comment. And, yes, you have. I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise. Light-hearted banter, really? That may be our problem. That’s not at all how I remember thingys. Maybe we didn’t see your asinine, prideful, bigoted, gay-bashing anti-joke in quite the same terms, for instance, then. Perhaps if we’d been able to take social cues, or change our point of view in the slightest fucking degree, or thrive on anything but sneering contempt for everything beyond the range of our nose, your feelings wouldn’t be quite so at-risk, nor your nose so absurdly out of joint.
Have it anyway you wish
Good morning to you.
