Actually it wouldn't have done a single thing in this case.

His I.D. would show what state he resides in and he wouldn't be allowed to vote in another state so no, you're wrong.Actually it wouldn't have done a single thing in this case.
He had lived in Florida; he probably still has a Florida ID so no, you're wrong.
House Republicans are trying to interfere with voter suppression investigations
House Republicans are strongly hinting to state officials that they should stonewall the Oversight Committee’s investigation into voter suppression.
A letter signed by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and other Republicans claims that the investigation raises “serious federalism concerns” and is “partisan.”
House Republicans are strongly hinting to state officials that they should stonewall the Oversight Committee’s investigation into voter suppression.
A letter signed by Ohio Rep.
Jim Jordan and other Republicans claims that the investigation raises “serious federalism concerns” and is “partisan.”
Rep. Elijah mings, the committee chair, responded forcefully, saying that “With a Democratic President, there was no allegation too small to investigate,
but now that Donald Trump is in the White House, there is apparently no scandal too big to ignore.”
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, the chair of the civil rights subcommittee carrying out the investigations into
voter suppression in Kansas, Texas, and Georgia,
likewise pushed back, citing a “solemn duty” to investigate “state-based assaults on popular democracy like the reported purges of hundreds of thousands of voters and the relocation of municipal polling places outside of municipal boundaries.”
And that solemn duty is absolutely within the committee’s rights, Raskin said:
“It is obviously within our power under the Supremacy Clause and the Bill of Rights to conduct cons utional oversight in order to protect voters’ rights in the states, resistance by partisan state officials notwithstanding.”
This isn't the first time House Republicans have tried to get the subjects of Democratic investigations to stonewall. They’ve also been
sending letters to drug companies suggesting they not comply with information requests on prescription drug prices.

Glad he was caught.
I missed your coverage on NC9, Qhris.
What happened?
Seems to fly in the teeth of Harper v.Virginia State Board of Elections.

Would this fraud be prevented by voter ID?
None of the types of election fraud Chris has posted about ITT -- apart from the myth of massive, widespread voter impersonation by immigrants -- would be prevented by voter ID laws.
20 years of indoctrination starting with Hans von Spakovsky during GWB have created a popular myth. That voter impersonation is a threat to elections, and that central americans are to blame.

Of course not. If there were some kind of real fraud, it would be all over Fox News 24/7, just like the Scary Brown People coverage.
A bit sad to think there are so many like Chris who are so patently brainwashed.
Lol ChrisNORFOLK, Va. — A special prosecutor in Virginia says he's presented two indictments of election fraud against a person who worked on a Republican congressman's doomed re-election campaign.
hole Texas GOP votes to make voter-registration mistakes a felony in new suppression push
Texas State Senate approved a bill that would impose new draconian criminal penalties on people who
make mistakes on their voter registration forms or
who help others vote.
the bill would make it a felony punishable by up to two years in jail to make a mistake on a voter registration form.
Sen. Bryan Hughes, who authored the bill, said that the measure is aimed at stopping illegal voters from casting ballots.
Senate Bill 9 would also bar anyone from helping a voter unless they fill out a form listing their relationship to the voter and why the assistance is necessary.
would also require anyone who drives at least three voters to a polling place and requests curbside voting to sign a form swearing that the voters are not physically able to enter the polling place.
Those who vote by mail because of a disability will also be required to submit a form confirming their inability to physically enter a polling place.
the bill “continues this state’s sad history of voter intimidation and disenfranchisement.” aka 21st century Jaime Cuervo
another provision in the bill, which would bar anyone from impeding walkways, sidewalks or roadways within 1,000 feet of a polling place is aimed at punishing groups like his.
“People who make innocent mistakes concerning their eligibility to vote will be sentenced to felony jail time, even if they only filled out a provisional ballot,”
Republicans had approved “another voter suppression bill.”
