    There's no such thing as voter fraud. ID's are stupid and we should do away with them.
    Apparently, there's a small amount of voted fraud. We know because people get prosecuted for it (apparently, the system works).

    Red team waving the voter fraud card isn't really new though. I really don't recall them pulling the same card back in 2010 when the GOP won Ohio with 57% of the votes, tbh.

    So, a couple of vans full of Somalis in a state with 20,000 US citizens born in Somalia is somehow su ious. Do these people not know what voter turnout efforts look like. Guess the number of African Americas who will ride church buses to the polls this very Sunday.

    It's not about being in the country legally or illegally but the fact that they were obviously born in africa and we all know that it isn't easy to get full CITIZENSHIP, which is REQUIRED to vote. They could be residents, but that isn't what this article is about, it's about whether or not non-US citizens who can't even speak english are voting in US elections. How many US citizens do you know who speak the native language of somalia?


    Your comments are becoming more irrational with each passing post.

    You mean like dis one!

    most people don't have such a clear cut choice as making either 30k or 1 mil. if you're right at the bubble and if you go over, you're going to go up a tax bracket and actually lower your after tax income unless you go wayyyyy over to negate the effects of the higher tax bracket. for example, making 35,000 at 15% tax is better than making 37,000 at 20%. you'd have to make around 40,000 or so to see any appreciable gain in take home pay for your efforts. it's definitely somewhat of a deterrent.

    what makes it even worse is ohio is such a bell weather state that it'll always predict the election results accurately. US politics have been manipulated by foreign clouts, which's not news

    The article says that 40% of the total Somali population have their citizenship. Sounds like a whole ton that have suffrage rights. Hopefully that is enough to fill a van.

    I am still waiting for the part where there is fraud and not just racist fear mongering.
    A source, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a volunteer outside the Morse Road polling center. She has witnessed Somalis who cannot speak English come to the polling center. They are brought in groups, by van or bus. The Democrats hand them a slate card and say, “vote Brown all the way down.”
    Holy ! Anonymous sources talking to a blog!! It must be true.
    I mean, the email SAID it was true! I read it on the interwebs.

    One has to wonder:

    Does this anonymous source also speak the tribal languages of Somalia?

    except... that isn't how tax brackets work.

    That post says that tax brackets work like this:
    35,000 *15 = 5250

    Increase income by one dollar
    35,001 * .2 = 7002

    Your taxes don't go up by 1700 bucks if you earn another dollar.

    That is simply wrong.

    Better:
    35,000 *.15 = 5250

    Increase income by one dollar
    35,000*.15=5250 plus (1 * .2) equals $5250.20

    That extra dollar you earned is 80 cents you get to keep, after taxes.

    Look at the tax instructions from your last tax return, and take a gander at the tables.

    (edit)
    Page 78 has the taxes for both 35,000 and 35,050. It isn't a 1700 dollar bump.

    No , hence why I called the post I quoted "irrational," as in it doesn't make sense.

    I hope you enjoy life as a re .
