re: O'Keefe uncovers voter fraud....20 times in NC

The entire point of this article has escaped you, I'm not surprised one bit.

O'Keefe's whole point was to show how easy it is to commit fraudulent votes that do not require an ID. But its not an issue and we shouldn't do anything about it at all.

Reminds of the time a forest fire fighter out west started a forest fire because he wasn't getting enough work.

This would only apply if the political left had been saying for years that forest fires don't occur.

So O'Keefe proved that someone can commit voter fraud by showing up to the polls in North Carolina. Did O'Keefe prove that people actually do commit voter fraud in North Carolina?

It's like trying to prove people shoplift at Walmart by shoplifting at Walmart.

I will say that at least Wal-Mart takes the time to try and prove that people do. In states without Voter ID laws, the state is essentially saying I don't care if they do.

Either side can do it but considering the effort, the people needed, the time and the violation of law, it's far more fruitful to identify registered but unlikely voters and use your manpower to get them to the polls.

Example: On Friday, CNN’s latest surveys found Bruce Braley (D) leading by six points in Iowa’s U.S. Senate race among registered voters, but he trailed Joni Ernst by two points among likely voters.

That's a lot of registered voters backing your candidate but likely not voting.

He proved it's ridiculously easy to do something you guys say doesn't exist.

Fine.

Give a picture of O'Keefe to every voting precinct in the U.S.

Problem solved.

Walmart wouldnt prove anything. The government would prove someone shoplifted before they charged them the same as they would prove someone voted illegally before charging them.

Don't be so obtuse.

I happen to know, FOR A FACT, that voter fraud happens, and not having to show ID makes it pretty easy to do.

The first time I went to vote after moving to my current address, I was told by the poll worker that I had already voted. I tried to show my ID to prove who I was, but I was told that was unnecessary. I was then given a provisional ballot, but I was told later that ballot did not count, because I failed to check some box on the ballot.

I don't think you know what this means.

If the OP wants to be accurate, he can change his title to

O'Keefe shows how you can vote illegally....20 times in NC

But saying he uncovered voter fraud is a lie.
