Voter Fraud Made Easy

Attorney General Eric Holder, he of the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking scandal, insists there is no significant voter fraud that would necessitate voters presenting ID at polling places. He has sued numerous states and municipalities from enforcing Voter ID laws, despite a number of court decisions that affirm the legality of said laws.

Well, here's a simple example of how easy voter fraud is:
  • U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has declared that there is no proof that in-person voter fraud is a problem. He's about to see proof that even he can't deny.

    In a new video provided to Breitbart.com, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws--by walking into Holder’s voting precinct and showing the world that anyone can obtain Eric Holder’s primary ballot. Literally.

    The video shows a young man entering a Washington, DC polling place at 3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, on primary day of this year--April 3, 2012--and giving Holder’s name and address. The poll worker promptly offers the young man Holder’s ballot to vote.

    The young man then suggests that he should show his ID; the poll worker, in compliance with DC law, states: “You don’t need it. It’s all right. As long as you’re in here, you’re on our list, and that’s who you say you are, you’re okay.”

And to add insult to injury, O'Keefe send in the pastiest of white guys to pose as the black Eric Holder, and it didn't make a difference. O'Keefe spent part of this election cycle having people go into Vermont voting precincts posing as citizens on the voting rolls and actually being offered ballots - ballots of people who had been dead for years, but still eligible to vote.

We in Chicago are well aware of the dead rising to vote. Kennedy was rumored to have carried Illinois by the votes of a sizable number of cemetery denizens who cast their ballots his way. Absentee ballots are especially susceptible to fraud. There really isn't any logical reason not to have Voter ID laws on the books, especially as state governments are offering free ID's to those who can't afford them. You need ID to cash a check, rent a car, get any sort of government assistance. Why not to vote?
