Their statement that they have no preconceived opinions is pretty amusing, Electoral shenanigans were looked at starting in 2002, while the Drunken Frat Boy was in the Big Chair. After five years of screaming widespread voter fraud, what did the Department of Justice come up with?
120 people over five years.
120 out of millions of voters.
MILLIONS.
I don’t know WHAT the percentage is of normal voters that would be but I DO know the answer would include a decimal point and a whole lotta zeroes in it. Even worse for them, out of that 120 people only 86 were convicted.
Less that 100. THIS is a severe problem? Where?
Eighty-six people out of millions is not the widespread voter fraud the GOP is hysterical over. These are isolated instances on the scale of immigrants filling the paperwork out wrong because they don’t understand English all that well, or felons so unfamiliar with voting that they don’t even realize they are not eligible to register, or old folks who have voted at location A for decades and who never knew that their polling place was switched to location B four months ago.
GOP Cocksuckers do this kind of thing all the time. Sometimes on purpose. Back in 2011, there was a story where Ann Coulter had gotten into trouble for voting illegally in Florida and Connecticut in 2002 and 2008. An ex-boyfriend in the FBI helped her run out the statute of limitations in Florida but in Connecticut there is no statute of limitations. The state election commission took a look at the incident. Ann The Man was a constitutional attorney at the time, not some dishwasher who’d immigrated here from Islamabad three months ago, so pleading that she didn’t understand would be ‘right out,’ as the British say
Coulter got off on the Connecticut one too after an investigation by the commission that took 20-months to complete and an ignoring of a lot of the facts in the case–many of which were things Coulter admitted doing. You can find the particulars here: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=8124
Also, some of the people on this commission are getting another bite at the apple, when they already had one at least a decade ago. Van Spakovsky and Adams are vote suprressors from WAY back and Koback is INFAMOUS in Kansas on the subject. My database alone has 181 pages on him and it’s nowhere NEAR comprehensive.
