And the all mail-in ballot process is his crowning glory.
And Jim, the likes of carter are why there has never been a more successful and popular state wide Republican and never will be as Sam Reed.
Posted by MikeBoyScout at November 13, 2012 05:06 PMI don't see any point in blaming him for the 2004 Governor's election debacle. It was a King County problem, not his. Things have supposedly improved in King County Elections since Ron Sims left the scene.

Posted by carter at November 13, 2012 08:41 PMMaking it easy and efficient for eligible citizens to vote is bad, how?
Are you actually alleging that mail-in ballot allow fraud, or that they empower the 'wrong people' to vote?
DMV voter registration leads to fraud how, or does it merely allow the 'wrong people' to vote?
Are you alleging actual fraud, or merely that people you don't like get to exercise their rights?

Conversely, it makes it easier for ineligible citizens to vote when there is no voter ID required.
"DMV voter registration leads to fraud how, or does it merely allow the 'wrong people' to vote?"
By not asking for proof of citizenship - that's how. If Voter ID were required, that problem would go away.
"Are you alleging actual fraud, or merely that people you don't like get to exercise their rights?"
The current system as it exists is vulnerable to fraud. Whether they vote Republican or Democrat is beside the point if they are not constitutionally legal to vote.
Why have they not shared this with the public?

When and where has this ever happened. Specifics, please.

Please prove presence of 'problem'. When has this ever occurred? Be specific.
This 'voter fraud' fetish you rightist radicals insist on braying about, a malady for which your prescribed cure does nothing but cause toxic side effects - your purpose, really.
Why don't you just come out and say it - you want to go back to limiting the franchise to while male landowners.
Wouldn't it feel better not to lie, and to just say what you think, let your freak flag fly?
What does your Jesus think about your subterfuge?

You want to get down and dirty - Afraid to face the truth ? You are obviously a coward and afraid of the thought of neo-marxist radical brethren not being able to cheat !
"Why don't you just come out and say it - you want to go back to limiting the franchise to while male landowners."
You are from the party of slave owners. Your argument is strawman - has nothing to do with it. Good job in pulling that argument out of your tuckus.
"Wouldn't it feel better not to lie, and to just say what you think, let your freak flag fly?"
LMAO ! You are a freak still living in the 60's in denial and trying like hell to lie - sorry, dude i. What kind of LSD did you drop ? You are staggeringly incoherent.
WWJD - Indeed !
(1) Voting is a right, not a privilege. Laws which could be used to restrict that right therefore need strong evidentiary support;
(2) Your side getting beaten like a cheap drum, back and forth across the entire country, up and down all of the tickets, does not, in and of itself, constitute ANY of the evidence required by point (1);
(3) Your bitter resentment at seeing all eight of your swing-state predictions proven laughably wrong also DOES NOT COUNT toward point (1);
(4) Felons were found to have cast illegal votes in our 2004 election for governor. Nobody at this blog demanded further punishment for this illegal voting. That alone told everyone what the caterwauling about "voter fraud" here really meant;
(5) The only candidate in (4) who did NOT receive illegal votes from felons was the only candidate here accused of having received such votes. That told us how reliable such accusations here really are.
Any questions, LOSER?
Where and when has this happened, particularly, given your frothing, when and where has it aided a Democratic candidate?
Waiting.......
Posted by Dr. Liberal at November 14, 2012 05:21 AMSome are interested in vote fraud, and for those who need a recent example, Here's one.
I haven't added it to my long list of examples, which you can find on the right side of my main site, but will later today. And, yes, there are Republican examples in that list. In fact, I try to include all the Republican examples I find.
(I won't be including the offer of marijuana for votes in that Los Angeles neighborhood -- because all we know about it is that someone put up a flyer, making the offer.)
