Another side to voter ID

So, why would water fraud benefit the Democratic side?

Isn’t it more likely that people dishonest enough to vote illegally, would vote for the less honest party, the Republican? Remember the case some time ago, where it was found that the only voter fraud, was committed by Republicans voting for dead relatives?

Thanks for your letter, Neil. The approach these days is that if Democrats are for it, everyone else should be against it. Remember, Democrats put the welfare of criminals and terrorists over the American people and Democrats want biological men to compete against biological women. So much for women’s rights. As such, if Democrats are against voter ID, we should all be for it. Because voter fraud is real, and just as important as the waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds.

For those of you who subscribe, are familiar with, and/or support Judicial Watch, that organization has already forced several states, through court orders, to literally remove hundreds of thousands of names off the voter registrations. All of these were getting mail in ballots and were thus considered eligible voters. They included deceased, felons, moved-away, and so-called provisional voters. This proved that the voter fraud percentage was, and still is, a deceitful tactic by some state officials to hide the truth, as the unedited list would not have identified the ineligible voters. The targeted states included California, Oregon, North Carolina and others. Judicial Watch has been on the fore front nationally to clean up our voting rolls and restore integrity. We have a long way to go. The Save Act for voter ID is one result of their efforts.

Fraud is rare as evidenced by the Heritage Foundation’s exhaustive research into the matter, https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-widespread-is-election-fraud-in-the-united-states-not-very/). For example HF went back 25 years in Arizona elections to find 36 cases. With over 32 million votes cast, that’s a percentage of .0000845% fraudulent votes.

Showing your ID to vote is not the issue—the issue is proving your citizenship to vote, which the SAVE Act and similar proposed legislation would require. Half of Americans do not have a passport and many cannot locate their birth certificates easily. Many women have names that do not match their birth certificates, https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/new-save-act-bills-would-still-block-millions-americans-voting. A similar law was passed in Kansas and later struck down by Federal courts after 31,000 citizens were not able to vote. https://apnews.com/article/kansas-noncitizen-voting-proof-of-citizenship-50d56a0b8d1f0fde15480aab3db67f4f?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share.

The real purpose of the SAVE Act is to sow doubts in unfavorable election results. To this end, political groups have put replacement theory, the extremist idea that there is a conspiracy to replace white Americans with non-whites for political gain, into conventional right-wing political discourse and into the G.O.P. (May 15, 2022, “A Fringe Conspiracy Theory, Fostered Online, Is Refashioned by the G.O.P.” New York Times) and (https://www.npr.org/2024/09/13/g-s1-22583/trump-great-replacement-conspiracy-theory). So less than a fraction of a percent of votes are cast by noncitizens, and there is a possibility of turning away up to 9 or 10 or 12 percent of voters. It’s not worth the time and expense to implement it.
