And when I say "no voter fraud," I actually mean that there may be 180K possible illegals registered to vote in the State of Florida alone.

Cate said some Florida officials have asked the Obama administration to grant the state access to databases maintained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to help determine who is a citizen.
"We've been requesting access, but have so far been denied," he said.

The Oboe people will block that request like a MOFO as it will lessen thier vote in one the most important states in November.

Without even looking it up, I bet over half of those illegal registrations are in Broward and Dade counties.

A lawsuit will be filed shortly. It will drag Obama's lawyers away from what he needs to concentrate on.

Just as a heads up:
MIAMI (Reuters) - Florida election authorities are examining about 180,000 people who they say may not be U.S. citizens but are registered to vote in the state, an official said on Friday.
Voter registration fraud is not voter fraud.

The strategy is to increase the work load for voter registrars offices in key swing districts right before the election in hopes that enough illegitimate voters will be registered.
It happened in Ohio in 2008. It is part of the foundation of the Obama strategy, but it has gone on for decades.

Yeah, because one isn't meant to lead to the other, right?
I'm sorry, but you just can't be this f*ing stupid.

Maybe maybe not.
Voter registration fraud is far more prevalent than voter fraud.
There are other steps between registration and voting that mitigate voter registration fraud (such as comparing lists between various agencies).

And rarely does the person shoplifting/speeding/lying/etc. even consider their action is wrong, if they don't get caught....

I just cannot see any argument against voter ID on either financial hardship or even libertarian grounds.

No one is saying that EVERY instance of voter registration fraud leads to a fraudulent vote.
But, as a previous poster said, it's about getting as many out there as possible to fill up the time and resources of local officials, and to make it harder to trace.
COMMON F'ING SENSE Voter I.D. laws would go a long way to eliminate this. Which is exactly why Democraps will fight this to the death. This is THEIR game. They've been doing this for YEARS. Out of the 180,000 above, if they can get 10-20,000, that could sway the election. It's what ACORN is all about.

No Voter ID law that I'm aware of will prevent this.

No. They don't. Voter ID laws do not do anything until you actually show up at the polls. Voter registration fraud takes place well before that.

Look at Arizona....
I have to show a Drivers License and Voter Registration Card, and those are compared/verified to the voter rolls before I can get my ballot and vote.

Absolutely true. Moreover, nothing in the article indicates that they already have evidence that voter registration has actually occurred...they're just looking into it.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how disenfranchised are you?

Yeah...LIKE VOTER ID LAWS.
THESE are what prevent those 180K from actually influencing the election by actually voting.
