Voter fraud

[BigRedBuster]

I'm surprised more isn't being made about this in the news. I personally find concerns around our elections as a major concern.

Democrat staffer resigns over voter fraud

[knapplc]

They just kicked their last representative to the curb for a bunch of ethics violations. Now his successor is out due to voter fraud.

 

That's a real awesome district they got down there.

I agree that any vote fraud is very concerning but........ surprised that the national media isn't making more of this? nah. This was a democrat that won election in Florida after all. Nothing to see here, keep moving. Heck, just the fact that your linked article came from Fox News will cue most everybody that this must be a non-issue.

Are you more or less surprised about the coverage of this story from known left-leaning news sources than you were about the relative lack of coverage of the Strategic Allied Consulting scandal from right-leaning news sources?

Chicago in the 1960 presidential elections had more votes than registered voters. Supporters of Nixon wanted to challenge the results, but Nixon said no, that would be bad for the country.

 

What happened 40 years later STILL is influencing politics today with hard feelings, revenge and cut throat dealings etc

This is just about a House primary election in Florida?

 

Hope the responsible individuals lose their jobs and the problem is fixed. Can't say that I'll lose any sleep over it . . .

Or Bob McDonnell's (or Michelle Bachmann's) current . . . problems.

 

Strangely silent. I'm not sure how long the media victimhood strategy will work in the echo chamber. Probably for quite awhile yet . . .

I guess I would be equally not surprised. To be honest, I'm not that informed on either issue or aware of who has covered what. But, our media is basically a joke, be it the more common left leaning media that selectively chooses what is not news worthy or the less common but possibly even more biased right wing media that tend to make mountains out of molehills with anything that hints of democrat malfeasance. I'm not quite sure what, if anything, would surprise me anymore.

Yep, and they are making it sound like it was unintentional. If that's true... even more

After all that has happened over the last 4-6 election cycles, I have felt there needs to be an effort to clean up the voter rolls. No, not like what Florida is being accused of. I personally think the entire data base should be wiped clean. Then, between now and the next election, all voters need to re-register with valid proof of who they are. Now, this needs to be done at an official site like a court house with people trained on how to register voters. I am fine with the government spending what would seem to be a huge amount of money on this if we need to set up registration locations in various neighborhoods.

 

I would be very interested in knowing how the number of registered voters would change.

In a word . . . yes.

 

I will say that I'm a little surprised that you trust Talking Points Memo. I suppose so long as it's Democratic malfeasance the source doesn't matter so much . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Now I see how you got there. You googled something similar to "democrat voter fraud." How fair and balanced of you.

I had to google Bob McDonnell to even have a clue. I assume you are talking about the Governors alleged unreported gifts of a Rolex and thousands of dollars from a donor. I will speculate that Fox News isn't covering this story. Not surprised.

 

And Michelle Bachmann's problems? Not sure where this is headed but I will assume her ridiculus statements on the USC and DOMA. this one, I would expect Fox to report on but more than likely most of their talking heads will side with her position. Again, not surprised.

 

That's the way it goes anymore with our media. I don't believe I've ever claimed it was a one way street. Journalism is dead in this country. Now it is simply an entertainment business catering to their target audience.
