Voter Fraud | Eastern NC Now

    There are two camps on voter fraud, those who see fraud as an advantage and those who see it as a dis-advantage. The vote in a democracy is the most valuable government benefit a citizen has. Voter fraud simply means someone is stealing your possession. Therefore, the only way to guarantee the value of the possession is to make sure it is not stolen or illegally used. Sounds like we are all in agreement up until now. So, why would anyone not want to have voter identification. Simply because they see an advantage at the polls in illegal votes.

    We have heard all the arguments about why voter identification is not needed. None of them fly. The most recent con game is to say studies have shown the impact of voter fraud is so low that this is a non issue and we should not worry about it. Turn that argument around. If it is a non issue why are some fighting so hard against identifying voters. They should be relaxed and watch me frustrate myself trying to find fraud. Common sense tells you that I will eventually come around to their way of thinking if there is no voter fraud, right.

    Truth of the mater is we do not have enough data to prove the impact of voter fraud. Only those who are rigging elections with fraud know and they are not about to tell anyone. They are also not about to give up telling us how dumb we are about the voter fraud issue. It all makes me suspicious—how about you?
