Voter fraud….that’s probably happened since voting began in America and all other countries (unless it can’t happen there, as it can’t happen in Germany because of their methodology). Who doesn’t think there’ll be some fraud during this election? I’ve personally seen voter fraud and I’ve personally heard about it from first-hand observers. How does a country stay a democracy?
How does a country get back love and appreciation and protection from its people?

Right now, the Left’s busy ‘reminding’ America that it’s only “optics” that make Hillary look bad in all she’s done with foreign countries and money…because she wasn’t Sec of State during much of it…BUT FOX is, at least, reminding them she had declared herself for the presidency.

Hey, guys. Voter fraud is an American tradition, at least in the Democrat Party. Who could ever forget Lynden B Johnson’s first election for the US Senate in Texas? LBJ won by 87 votes when he should have been down 20,000. This is not a myth. http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/11/us/how-johnson-won-election-he-d-lost.html
Then, there’s the John F Kennedy win in 1960 against Richard Nixon. Say what you will about Nixon, I think Tricky Dick was a better person that JFK or any in his family, and you will never convince me that the election in Illinois was not rigged. In Chicago they bury their evidence, and then vote them in elections.
With all this rich history, it never ceases to amaze me that the Democrats get away with several kinds of voter fraud. In the last several elections the Missouri Democrats have gone to Federal Judges on election day to keep the polls open longer to get their vote in and counted. Of course this always happens in the black ghettos of the poor in St Louis where there’s always the danger that some black person did not remember that it was election day.
When the Democrats call for voter fraud against Republicans, or in battle ground states, the Feds always believe the Dems, and investigate the Republicans. When the New Black Panthers take up intimidating positions around a poll in Philadelphia, the Feds don’t see any problem.
The deck is stacked against the good guys. The Democrats may not have invented voter fraud, but they have written the book on it as witnessed by the recent video releases of Hillary’s bad boy dirty tricks team.

Even if all votes required a Voter ID card… the votes at my locale have to be transmitted to a higher summation tally source and how can you guarantee there is not some corruption at the middle man level. ? Maybe I’m being stupid here, but my local vote collection point sends 100 Trump votes and 98 clinton satan beast votes. Who is to say that at the next transmission point that doesn’t turn into 100 clinton beast votes and 98 rump votes. ?
I just have so little faith in the process even if the individual recorded votes are as clear as country water. SO many middlemen getting the lower level votes to the summation totals. Seems too many opportunities for corruption.
I like MAL’s idea of plug in a SS# and your vote and tally them all up, but anything internet is subject to compromise. I think the only way to go is vote on one day and have your index finger dipped in red indelible ink……

Imp and Kid, what I meant about using SSN as voter I.D. is voting could be controlled on a national level using our SSN. That way, it could tell if they had already voted. There could be polling places also for those who don’t have a PC. It would still be controlled on a national level against fraud. It would also have to be programmed so dead people would be deleted from the list, and date of birth would have to be entered on the site to avoid under age voting. Don’t you believe this would be a viable option?
LikeLike
MAL, I believe it is as viable an option as what we have now. To avoid it being hacked, every time someone voted a line would print out on a government printer (with redundent hardware included), SSN, date and time of voting. When it’s over look at the two stacks of printer paper and it’s gonna be easy to see whjich candidate has more votes. If the computer data says something else, you might have to re-verify. Using Oracle databases would allow you to have complete security of the data as well. Someone Could hack it but the database would record the incident and all of the user details.
