Do you deny voter fraud is a major problem?

It would give all voters the knowledge that that any voter fraud is harder to do with ID's. Not a fix but a step in the right direction.

Obamacare has ID cards too.

National Health Care Identification Card:

The bill explicitly states that in order for any individual to be eligible for a health insurance plan and health claim status, they will be issued a machine readable national health identification card. All operating rules set forth in the bill for health plan and claim eligibility must allow for the use of this ID card.

“ELIGIBILITY FOR A HEALTH
PLAN AND HEALTH CLAIM STATUS.
—The set of operating rules for eligibility for a
health plan and health claim status transactions shall be adopted not later than July 1, 2011, in a manner ensuring that such operating rules are effective not later than January 1, 2013, and may allow for the use of a machine readable identification card.”

It's only a major problem in that Republicans are using "anti-voter fraud" bills to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of students and minorities in places where before, voter fraud was either undetected or severely limited.

I suspect that after the ID-requirements go into effect, voter fraud will actually be more rampant, because people will only check ID cards, and be lulled into complacency, and the people who cannot get state-issued ID cards will continue to be disenfranchised. There are already Republican lawmakers on record as saying they only wrote/passed the laws to decrease Democratic votes.

guess you can show us many many examples to prove that last assertion?

the kind committed by actual 'voters',,,,yes I do



633 incidents total since 2000

roughly an average of 50 per year, or 1 per state per year...

hardly anything 'major' about that


News21, part of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education, has mounted an intensive effort to try to flesh out that record. News21 students have requested and reviewed thousands of public records, court documents, and media reports to see how many prosecutions for election fraud have been made in each state. The result: "analysis of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases since 2000 shows that while fraud has occurred, the rate is infinitesimal." The map above illustrates the number of confirmed voter fraud cases found by News21 dating back to 2000. Out of hundreds of millions of ballots cast, they counted 633 incidents. Among states with voter ID laws on the books, Georgia and Kansas have seen the most prosecutions, with 80 and 97 cases respectively. In Pennsylvania, which may require voters to show identification on Election Day if the state’s Supreme Court does not block the new law from taking effect, the number of fraud cases was just five

yeah,, insurance coverage usually requires an INSURANCE card to prove you are covered

voting locations have voter roles that do the same thing,,,,,and voting cards too,,,

Quoting a controlled media news source for verification or substance on an opinion any more is like asking the devil to translate the bible!

The Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation joined forces in 2005 to launch News21 as a cornerstone of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education.

The program is headquartered at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.

Nearly 500 top journalism students in the U.S. have participated in the landmark national initiative. Their work has appeared in major national publications, including The Washington Post, msnbc.com, the Center for Public Integrity and many others. It is also published on the news21.com website.

,what that has to do with being 'controlled media source' ,,??

is any media source not under someones 'control'


whats that to do with the research and the numbers?

Just goes to show that not everyone with eyes can see

and that some hallucinate

If you see a Dr, perhaps some Thorazine to help with that condition?

what? the one of producing some numbers and studies to back up my position rather than just waving a flag that its false BECAUSE its from media..?


lol


its apparently a rare and harmless enough 'condition' as to not require drugs,, there may however be some drugs for hallucinations or paranoia,,

That's why I recommended Thorazine for your condition.

Most realize that MSM is nothing more than a paid for bias slant controlled by who has the most money to pay for it any more, and nothing to do with truth or news.

I did say most, and perhaps Thorazine will help your hallucination ailment. It worked well in the 70s, and today, for just that purpose

and how do you determine which source is an 'msm' source?

how is a college of journalistic students an 'msm' source?





I didn't hallucinate anything, I posted information,, and no one yet posts any information that disputes it

probably cause there is none,,,

Since gov't got into the business of education, there is no education, only profit and propaganda, an industrialized institution with gov't written all over it!

?? what has that to do with whether voter fraud is a 'major problem'

is it not members of government trying to push voter id laws?

government includes hundreds of different individuals,,,who rarely have a uniform mentality or uniform agreement on anything

especially THIS government

You like links, and claim christianity (all I'll say on that subject....it would be off topic), so here's one for you....

http://www.christianpost.com/news/obama-trust-me-im-with-the-government-97924/

Voter ID or something as simple as using a rubber might/could have prevented the madness of the last 2 decades!

Why do we carry on voting, when we know prices will never go back down, and that the government will just keep toying with our lives? It's pointless. The only way is to stop voting. If everyone did, then at least the politicians would lose their job. We don't need the government. They need us.
