Dead Goldfish Offered The Vote In Illinois
Election officials in northern Chicago want to know why voter registration material was sent to Princess, a dead goldfish. "I am just stunned at the level of people compromising the integrity of the voting process," said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander, a Republican, who said she has spotted problems with nearly 1,000 voter registrations this year. Beth Nudelman, who owned Princess, said the fish may have got on a mailing list because the family once filled in her name when they got a second phone line for a computer. When will we recognize a goldfish's right to vote?
Well its safe to say that the Goldfish has more foreign policy experience than Palin.
I will bend like a reed in the wind.
First, you can't have voter fraud without registration fraud.
This is a false statement. People can stuff ballot boxes without registering. As there is no registration needed to do this, there is no registration fraud. Machines can be hacked without registration. Again, since there is no registration, there is no registration fraud.
I understand that the line "No voter fraud without registration fraud" is one of the talking points of mouth-breathing Republicans, but it is a demonstrably false statement. I guess that's par for the course for them.
That is all.
I agree. There has never, ever been any voter fraud and the sole purpose of actually proving you're who you say you are when you vote is a ploy to make sure minorities can't vote. Why should I need a photo Id when I vote, it's not like I need it for anything else like driving my car or buying cigarettes or alcohol.
Go ahead and keep living in your fantasy world where the sole act of saying nice things will get things done and the people who want to kill you will think more of you when you talk nice to them.
Well its safe to say that the Goldfish has more foreign policy experience than Palin.
And it is also safe to say that the Goldfish had more executive experience than Obama and Joe the Bieden combined
