David Frum: America's voting system is a disgrace

[boutons_deux]

When USA tried to have a national ID card, people killed it.

SS card is effectively a national ID.

[DarrinS]

LOL yeah because PARANOIA is rational.

Do you lock your doors? If so, why?

[boutons_deux]

something like 20% of eligible voters don't have an ID. so the problem is not "marginal" and easily, cheaply fixed.

Repug counting fraud would still be available, like OH 2004.

That is complete bull .

Because there is strong evidence that you are more likely to be burgled if you leave your doors unlocked.

Locking a door is being paranoid?

No one would break in just because the opportunity is there. Try it out. Leave your iPad in an unlocked car.

Worse yet.

Leave it visible in a locked car and get a window broken too.

From your link....

As many as 10% of eligible voters do not have, and will not get, the do ents required by strict voter ID laws.

lol boutons

There is evidence that leaving valuables in an unlocked car results in higher rates of theft. There is minimal evidence of the type of voter impersonation fraud that would be resolved by requiring voter ID.

Do you get robbed all day every day? Why not if the opportunity is there?

[ElNono]

Do you run over puppies all the time? Why not if the opportunity is there?

[MannyIsGod]

Darrin I don't think you understand what you type.

What evidence would there be?

[DarrinS]

There's no motivation to run over puppies.

[DarrinS]

Stop asking for ID to purchase alcohol and cigarettes. Just ask people if they are old enough -- problem solved.

[DarrinS]

I guess millions of minorities without ID can't drink or smoke. Oh well.

[ChumpDumper]

Prove it.

[ElNono]

There's no motivation to run over puppies.

Are you saying puppies never get run over? Why not if the opportunity is there?

Accessibility is a key factor in buglary target selection.

I agree.

What evidence would there be if I voted with my registration card and voted again with a friend's registration card?

[ElNono]

What evidence would there be if I voted with my registration card and voted again with a friend's registration card?

There would be more votes than registrations?

[ChumpDumper]

I agree.

What evidence would there be if I voted with my registration card and voted again with a friend's registration card?

Did you conspire with your friend to vote the way he wanted or did you steal from your friend?

[Th'Pusher]

I agree.

What evidence would there be if I voted with my registration card and voted again with a friend's registration card?

Ah, so you have to disenfranchise 10% of the voting population in order to prove that in person voter fraud is a problem?
