Mr Goodwyn, what did you draw when Donald Trump was pushing his own voter fraud scare tactics, like clank my all you needed to do to vote twice was to wear a different hat!
“Widespread calls to conduct the 2020 elections by mail, to protect voters from COVID-19 exposure, are being met with charges that the system inevitably would lead to massive voter fraud. This is simply not true.
“Vote fraud in the United States is exceedingly rare, with mailed ballots and otherwise. Over the past 20 years, about 250 million votes have been cast by a mail ballot nationally. The Heritage Foundation maintains an online database of election fraud cases in the United States and reports that there have been just over 1,200 cases of vote fraud of all forms, resulting in 1,100 criminal convictions, over the past 20 years. Of these, 204 involved the fraudulent use of absentee ballots; 143 resulted in criminal convictions.
Let’s put that data in perspective.
One hundred forty-three cases of fraud using mailed ballots over the course of 20 years comes out to seven to eight cases per year, nationally. It also means that across the 50 states, there has been an average of three cases per state over the 20-year span. That is just one case per state every six or seven years. We are talking about an occurrence that translates to about 0.00006 percent of total votes cast.
Oregon is the state that started mailing ballots to all voters in 2000 and has worked diligently to put in place stringent security measures, as well as strict punishments for those who would tamper with a mailed ballot. For that state, the following numbers apply: With well over 50 million ballots cast, there have been only two fraud cases verifiable enough to result in convictions for mail-ballot fraud in 20 years. That is 0.000004 percent — about five times less likely than getting hit by lightning in the United States.
Republican legislatures take control of certifying the vote count—same party where a majority of Congressional representatives protested election results based solely on Trump’s say-so. Nothing to fear there.
Just as economic and social injustices based on race are like the iceberg, so are the voter suppression laws being rushed into law by GQP state legislatures. It doesn’t take fire hoses and dogs to keep people from voting.
Good one Al, The Democratic left is so closed minded and intrenched in there party and it’s agenda, that if Jesus came down in a bolt if lightning to the Senate floor and took a seat on the right side of the isle they would say it never happened. And that he wasn’t Jesus at all because he did not sit down on the left.
Geez, and we thought the years of the big gangster gangs were a thing of the distant past. Another reach by the Repulsicans for their jaded past? The gangsters of the ‘20s and ’30s would be jealous of The Crime Family’s ability to steal and subvert the laws with impunity. 0}:
I will say that the closeness of the last 2 presidential elections bothers me . . .with such poor polling (at least the public polling) . ..why would the election be so razor close in so many states.
The Gullible Obtuse Partisans are well aware of truth and facts and are also well aware that knowledgeable voters will not vote for them and have been so aware for years. That is why they work so hard – alternate truths – to obscure and obliterate the truth. Their true intentions, as evidenced in their draconian legislation and courts packing with unqualified RWNJ judges, would not be tolerated.
’Toonists like Al are doing their part in the confusion of the gullible.
Mr Goodwyn, for someone who claimed to admire Einstein’s commencement address to Swarthmore in 1938, you seem to have missed the point of that address.
