Massive non-citizen voting in Maryland

Massive non-citizen voting uncovered in Maryland

I've got people saying the Texas Voter ID law is racist. Someone linked to an article on my Facebook feed that told the plight of some poor individual who has lived in Texas all his life who essentially lives outside the system that can't vote this year and happens to be black. Which I found insulting because I'm sure voter ID laws will also stop some low income whites from voting as well. I'm not sure how racist these Liberals are that they think only blacks and latinos are poor.

The other argument though was that there has only been 2 convictions for voter fraud in Texas. Sure, like these laws are enforced. The convictions mean nothing, we still know it's happening.

Nope, sorry, I'm ok with the law. I want my vote to count as much as everyone else's and even more than people who aren't legally allowed to vote. I can't imagine this law impacts that many legal residents. Even the poorest, grimiest, homeless, mental cases in the jail were able to produce at least a state ID.

In Maryland illegals can get a drivers license. Then they can walk to another booth in the same room and, having to show only their DL, can register to vote. No citizenship check, other that having to answer questions of the form.

Of course, that all means nothing if there's no ID check at all at the voting booth.

I'm sure that this happens all over the country...and it is treason.

So the guy chose to live "outside the system". To what extent?


If he is low income he can get a free voter ID card.

If he's not, he can get a regular ID card cheap with no DL testing of any kind.


I call bullshit on him not being able to vote.

Voter ID is not a problem. Voter registration could be easier and updates about where you go to vote could be easier. I wish it was an automatic thing when you change your address on your ID or DL. I'm also ok with printing ineligible voting status on your ID. No ID no vote.

Voted fraud should be a felony. I don't know what is a good enough punishment. I'd be ok with the death penalty.

I heard yesterday that most voter fraud happens on absentee votes and mail in ballots more often than at a polling place. This needs to be addressed. Maybe fingerprints and a copy of a valid ID needs to be sent in with the ballots.

Me too. If he said "I'm too lazy to vote" I'd agree

I'm too lazy to find the article again, but he essentially collects cans and dumpster dives for a living. He does have to show ID, but it's expired and he's had trouble renewing.

Problem with the whole sob story, it's anecdotal. Typical Liberal propaganda. We found ONE person who can't vote and he's BLACK! The system is soooo racist and the law is soooo unfair!

I didn't argue with the guy who posted it, but I was unmoved. I feel kinda bad for the guy in the story, but it doesn't address the widespread voter fraud that has been happening for a very long time now.

Well according to the obama administration African Americans are less sophisticated than the white man...

There is a far more subtle form of "voter fraud."

The electronic voting machines make no firm mark on a ballot. It is another slow move to desensitize voters.

I voted early. Went through the ballot, made my choices, then went the "review your ballot" procedure.

When I got to the next-to-last page of the review, the machine lit up like a slot machine, and wanted me to cast my ballot.

That was just not right. So, I backed up and went all the way back to the first page. Nevertheless, the same happened again. I moved on to the last page, confirmed my votes, and voted.

On my way out of the polling place, I told an election official about this glitch. He told me I should have pointed the problem out before I cast my final vote.

To hell with that! We have the right to vote without any election official knowing who we voted for.

Vegas gambling houses rig every machine to favor the "house." Electronic voting machines in a heavily democratic district can be as easily manipulated to favor the majority.

Bring back the paper ballot!

Lets see, dumpster dives and collects cans for a living, then goes home and watches TV on his 75" Samsung HD so he can keep up with the news...


Sounds like a BS act to me, if he lives that far out of the system, he is not in the system...ok, lets play a game, this is easy, I show you pics of Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, schumer, Billary and we see how many you can name by looking at their pics. Anyone see Waters world where he was showing pics of Obama and most of the Blacks could not name who the pic was of, but when told they squealed with joy...

Actually the slot machines aren't rigged as you call it, unless you consider the percentage paid out rigged. THAT varies from casino to casino and even within the same casino. The payout percentage is noted or available upon request. That's Nevada Gaming Commission law.

We still use paper ballots and felt tip pens out where I'm at. We're so far behind the technology curve it looks like we're actually ahead of it.

Texas voter ID law is a solution looking for a problem.I'm not saying that voter fraud never happens,just that it is an atypical,unusual,in-frequent occurrence.I would guess that illegals have little interest in voting.Just my guess.

People i know from the border will tell you different. They have a vested interest in what makes it easier for them to get here or stay. And anyone that will help them. And against any tighter security.

Voter fraud, maybe not - registration fraud is rampant and easily found.

Agreed! If they used the USPS wouldn't that be mail fraud? and doesn't that carry a felony charge?

I wouldn't be surprised if paper ballots have the same "error rate" with ballot counters intentionally miscounting... or even just throwing away ballots they don't like. Easier to catch those, tho.

Actually, La Raza has been doing a major push publishing a list of states where an ID is not needed to vote. Voter registration fraud has been exposed every year. Politicians do nothing.

There have been numerous cases reported every year of people who are deceased still voting or felons that manage to vote.

People have shown up to vote only to be told they have already voted. Or more accurately, someone voted in their name. Voter fraud is an ongoing problem. I don't see how the Voter ID law is a "solution in search of the problem" when the problem is so widespread even though the news seems oddly incurious about it.

Ah... so that's why it's racist. Mystery solved.

What if you are an Amish type, or a part of a religious group that only keeps family Bibles as birth records, no SSN, and doesn't believe in the "numbering of the people" (1st Chron. 21)?

Many believe that all these forms of identification contribute to the future "mark of the beast" system.

Do they all forfeit their right to vote?

Many conservative/libertarian types used to be suspicious of IDs, biometrics, and facial recognition capabilities in the government's hands.

But since Obama and former presidents have opened the floodgates for illegal immigrants, the people lose their rights I guess.
