The most important thing you need to know about the voter ID issue

[KingOrfeo]

I seem to remember that after about the 3rd recount, Franken found some votes in the trunk of his car,

No, you don't.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Just because he remembers it doesn't mean it happened.

 

[Bry1313]

did the author address the MN Senate race, where ACORN was found to have engaged invoter fraud?

There was no fraud in that race, whatever your paranoid fantasies are.

 

[jeninflorida]

. . . is that using "voter fraud" to steal an election is virtually impossible.

From The Voting Wars, by Richard Hasen:

and your kind wants to steal another election


hell, obama isn't even an america.

"virtually" impossible, Jesus you are one stupid mother fucker. no wonder you are mentally unfit to have a real job

You are right, he isn't an America.

We don't quote the Jen. It's generally seen as bad form to interact with it at all but we have to throw it a few bones so it doesn't go into another altstorm.

Did you find that in the Huff post?

There are hundreds of web sites that claim possible voter fraud in the MN election.

OOOOOH HUNDREDS OF WEBSITES!

That changes everything!

(Say, weren't there "hundreds of websites" that claimed vaccines caused autism, too?)

Obviously Bry1313 was there to oversee the election results.

Or I live in Minnesota and the charges about fraud and the inability to prove them were well documented. There is a reason the election was certified.

The only fraud was in Coleman's favor. All those felons...

And you just failed your citizenship test.

who the fuck are you?

AMENDMENT XV - Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote...

AMENDMENT XIX - The right of citizens of the United States to vote...

AMENDMENT XXIV - Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote...

AMENDMENT XXVI - Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote...

The Constitution contains many phrases, clauses, and amendments detailing ways people cannot be denied the right to vote. You cannot deny the right to vote because of race or gender. Citizens of Washington DC can vote for President; 18-year-olds can vote; you can vote even if you fail to pay a poll tax. The Constitution also requires that anyone who can vote for the "most numerous branch" of their state legislature can vote for House members and Senate members.

Note that in all of this, though, the Constitution never explicitly ensures the right to vote, as it does the right to speech, for example. It does require that Representatives be chosen and Senators be elected by "the People," and who comprises "the People" has been expanded by the aforementioned amendments several times. Aside from these requirements, though, the qualifications for voters are left to the states. And as long as the qualifications do not conflict with anything in the Constitution, that right can be withheld. For example, in Texas, persons declared mentally incompetent and felons currently in prison or on probation are denied the right to vote. It is interesting to note that though the 26th Amendment requires that 18-year-olds must be able to vote, states can allow persons younger than 18 to vote, if they chose to.

you should cite your cut and paste


You said there was no right to vote. If there were no right to vote, why would those amendments talk about the right to vote could not be abridged?

 

[RobDownSouth]

There might have been hundreds of posts claiming that right here on Lit.

Most of them from you and your "bros", and none of them factually verifiable.

There were hundreds of websites claiming Obamacare would fail as well, we all know they were right.

That's right, you just keep clingin' to your fiction that Obamacare has somehow "failed". The harsh reality is exactly opposite, but you've never liked having to face reality....

Well not all, you still still cleave to the fiction that America loves its communism.

You're such a butthurt little bitch.

I did say because it's true there's no right to vote.
Show me where them amendments talk about the right to vote.

There are hundreds of websites that say 9/11 was an inside job, having hundreds of people agree with crazy doesn't make it any less crazy.

Your .gif sucks. Like Marines do.

I know. Are you back to a 40 waist yet?

Did you really do "I know you are but what am I" as a debate technique?

I bow to your superior Constitutional knowledge and your ability to google.

I was confused by the words "The right of the citizens of the United States to vote..."

It was an honest mistake.

Still 36 inches, bitch. Still fantasizing about me, I see. Tell us again how you're not a homo.
