I think that if you look at the GOP voter frauds, and compared them to the dem ones, that you'd see a proportionate correlation going on there.
This sort of thing happens, its not a conspiracy, get over it
It is a conspiracy and regardless, fraud needs to be eliminated whenever possible. Do you have a problem with that?

God damn it. Hundreds of posts on the subject, and none of you can explain even that. I've asked at least a couple times before.
The reason is that you can't. So put up, or shut the hell up.
God damn it back at cha.
No one is saying it will win the election for the democrats. Read and you'll see the arguments are that: what is happening is WRONG for all involved.
What is being pointed out is that its too fucking funny( if ya wanna call it that) that in all honesty, in this situation, it is the democrats that stand to gain from these practices.
Obama suing over it is absolutely asinine. and but for his political gain, I'd bet he wouldn't be doing it.

The "fraud" won't effect the election. Libeling the organization and the democratic party by making unfounded claims about the volume and extent of the incident will effect the election, while itself being against the law (at least civil).
The efficacy of the voter card situation is null, but that of the claims arising from it are high. Which should be taken more seriously with that in mind?

One single fraudulent vote, one, no matter who it is for, is far worse than any spoken act. And there is a coherent pattern of voter fraud being perpetrated by a single group that receives not only federal funding but has been the recipient of largesse from Obama. Answer the fucking question, why are you calling out the whistleblowers? And not the crooks. I know the answer.

That's bullshit. For one, there are no fraudulent votes this election, nor probably will there be. Second, I don't need to be studying wave probability functions to tell you that one vote doesn't matter versus millions. Don't get existential with me. If you want to get existential, tell me how lying to millions of Americans in order to change their votes based off a false premise matters less than that one insignificant vote.

in previous years you were required to fit within a certain criteria, now it's listed as 'no fault' voting and these are people that will most likely be in their 'homes' on election day, are these people 'absentees'?

I'm supporting negating the early voters ballots, disenfranchising thousands unless they legitimately qualify for the absentee ballot under the old provisions until Ohio gets their shit together and amends their election laws and thus pissing off the ohio voters enough that they DEMAND the laws be fixed

The fraud will inDEED change the election, if the Sec. of State of Ohio gets her way and they do not properly verify that all these newly registered voters who have already cast their absentee ballots are in fact eligible to vote (and are real people).
Did I mention she's a democrat? Do you think maybe she's an Obama supporter? Can you connect the dots? What she is arguing is that all of these voters should be considered legitimate, even though we KNOW there has been widespread fraud going on. At this point the only question is whether the voter fraud has been the result of rogue volunteers taking action independently or whether they were following procedures handed down from the leadership of ACORN. Which, considering HOW widespread it is, it's clearly organized.. so the question is how well the leadership of ACORN has been at covering their trail.
The Ohio Secretary of State wants to count fraudulent votes because it's too much work to determine if they are fraudulent or not. The GOP is saying "bullshit, investigate", and the DNC is saying "waaah, you're intimidating voters!"
What kind of asshole could support the DNC and Obama in this action and still maintain any idea that they support fairness and lawful behaviour?

You are not paying attention, you are reading talking points. You are drastically behind the news. I have already posted links to fraudulent votes, already cast, in Ohio and another of a retard whose vote was manipulated by his social worker and more in New Mexico. duran duran has 74 listings for addresses in NM. He voted in the primary. There are only 5 duran durans in NY. It isn't bullshit. You are a hack.
Lying to millions of Americans? What lie are you referring to? It is up to them to determine what they believe. Would you like me to list some of Barry's lies? Again?

Seuss said: > It is not a vote untill election day when it is opened.
It should be counted as a vote by the date it was post marked, not the date it was opened.
These are ballots that are submited in person generally, as you have to show up in person to register and vote all at once to my understanding.
But in Ohio, even if its a regular absentee ballot mailed in from someone that's been registered forever, its not a vote untill election day, till then its a ballot. So the postamark would be the date the ballot was cast, not the date the vote was cast. The date of the vote is always eleciton day, and it is cast when it is unsealed, inspected, and counted.

Yes I agree the law is stupid and the ohio legislature is stupid, and they likely were too ignorant to even consider what these laws they were passing would mean (i.e. the law defining the window for absentee voting and the language they use). The dumb thing is there's not too many relevant secitons of code.... could count em on two hands. So rather than take a look and say "what will this do" they just voted for the bills like retarded monkies.
This is why I've said for a while that it would be better if we could elect rocks. At least they'd stop churning out these laws like crazy and harrasing people.

If they vote absentee then yes. They can just show up and cast their vote ahead of time regardless of the reason, in my understanding. McCain put out registration cards and people couldn't even fill them out corrrectly (didn't check the obvious box that said you swear you didn't lie) and the supreme court allowed those too (correctly I'd think even though the reisterin parties seemed like they had no idea what they were doing).
Quote:

yep, ohio sucks... among the highest taxed state in teh nation. People vote like everywhere else though, and never bother to check what their legislature is doing... then they blame the judges when the stupid laws that were passed piss everyone off and lead to absurd, but legally correct, results like that in the present case.

No reason to. Laws aren't broke. The law mandated what is going on. the law was stupid.
If anyone was more than a blithering idiot they could have forseen this, but nope....
And you can't retroactivly disenfranchise folks either, tis a no no.

"None of the people who registered had prior contacts with Columbus and Franklin County," O'Brien said. "You must be a resident of the state of Ohio in order to register and cast a ballot, and that's the issue being examined - whether they were proper residents of Ohio."
Two of the individuals voted in person at Veteran's Memorial while a third returned a completed absentee ballot by mail, said Matt Damshroder, deputy director of the Franklin County Board of Elections.

Read my post again. I said "this election."
You're all acting as if there isn't a system in place to ensure that votes are made by real people, that they're just going to count every vote.
I don't know how things work in Ohio, I'll look into it since there's no way your explanation of the process can be correct (delusional bastard). But I have worked as a poll worker at both the booth and the office, and I see people checking ballots and cards. So I know there's a system.
I'm starting to equate all you who think that whatever small percent of votes that get through of the small percent of cards that are verified, can possibly make a difference. Furthermore, I resent the implication that the democrats are stupid enough to think that when they are so far ahead in an election, that they need to cheat, and that they are stupid enough to think that they won't get caught or that enough will get through to even make it worth their while.

There is a system in place and it is being used. What safeguards the system is a concerted effort to punish cheats. Obama (and you) wishes to circumvent that effort for expediency. Hence the whore label. You (and Barry)stand for nothing and thus will fall for anything.

Now you're being paranoid. There is non-partisan, federal oversight of the process. So if there is something going on there, the administration will get to the bottom of it, and Ohio's electoral votes may even need to be withheld in the meantime.
In reality, the process will be ruled okay, meanwhile fake votes will be nullified, and the world will be normal, with the sky remaining up where it has always been.
