I do believe we need a more secure and streamlined voting process. However, My post above was in response to an individual that believes a voter ID would have stopped the woman discussed in the OP from voting multiple times. I was merely pointing out the flaw in that argument.

I actually think we should have voter ID laws, but we need to make sure they are free (otherwise, it's an unconstitutional poll tax), federally issued (for the sake of uniformity) and that there is sufficient time provided for EVERYONE to obtain one before we start requiring them (otherwise, millions of qualified voters across the country would be denied their right to vote).

Right on!

You're right that voter ID laws might not have prevented this incident. There needs to be much more than that, as you suggested. I heard someone the other day mention a national voting holiday....a federal holiday so everyone votes on the SAME DAY. Maybe this is another way to prevent rampant fraud. Your name would be marked off after you vote and that's it. Anyone whose name isn't on the list (because there will be mistakes) will have to make an appeal and vote on a different day once the problem is fixed and they are properly identified.

There are a lot of options but my point is that this needs to be addressed. Sorry if I attacked you unjustly!

If you think the voter fraud was what won obama the election you must have some serious issues.

wasnt it the republicans who were gerrymandering and somehow managed to keep control of the house while still losing by ~5 million votes?. its one thing to cheat and win but these guys are cheating as hard as they possibly can and they are still losing by a huge margin.

I'll never understand how no one looked into the voting precincts which either Obama or Romney received 100% of the votes cast. Statistically this is impossible. Noting that senior citizens account for the highest percentage of voters, in those precincts not one person made a mistake and accidentally voted for the wrong candidate? Figuring out how both campaigns were able to somehow make this happen is the real question because it's answers have far reaching impacts.

As far as the Ohio thing, I believe it involved Defiance, Ohio and a sd card system... oh wait, that's the tv show Scandal...

What this says to me is that we really need to focus in on absentee ballots and the actual voter fraud going on there.

So, will she be punished for this or will this be swept under the rug because people will soon be screaming foul play?

Personally, I think the zombie apocalypse has started.

And guess what?

They vote!

I'll never understand people complaining about voting, especially when we know that the leaders are handpicked in advance. While voter fraud is a horrible thing, ethically and morally, it ultimately truly doesn't matter. It just shows that some people really think their vote counts.

Another thing I'll never understand is people who post Fox News like it's a valid source for anything or that it's a real news station.

It's quite cute actually

I honestly can't believe what I am reading!!! I know this is Fox news but come on folks really? She is openly admiting that she committed voter fraud and they say that there are 19 others in that county alone who might have done the same thing!!!!!

Well like you said, it's Fox News. And someone openly admitting voting more than once? Too good to be true, especially given that it's Fox News (who has a clear anti-Obama agenda) that posted the story.

I'm gonna classify this under partisan hackery.

The wording is really off to me. It reminds me too much of the James O'Keefe videos that turned out to be false. They may be direct quotes or answers but to which questions? Isn't there a voter bill on one the floors now?
