Welcome to Socialist Republik of Kalifornia Komrad.
Apparently, they've run out of other peoples money to spend.
The funny thing is that California requires ID to vote, and unlike Indiana they also charge for the privilege;
"After receiving payments ranging from between $300 and $5,000 per election from the consultant, DeMuro would add fraudulent votes on the voting machines, also known as ringing up votes, for the consultant’s clients and preferred candidates thereby diluting and distorting the ballots that were cast by actual voters,” McSwain continued. “DeMuro would add these fraudulent votes to the totals during election day and then he would later falsely certify that the voting machine results were accurate. He would add the fraudulent votes by literally standing in the voting booth and voting over and over and over again as fast as he could when he thought that the coast was clear.”
“In May 2014, DeMuro stuffed the ballot box with 27 fraudulent ballots during the primary election. In May 2015, he padded the ballot box with 40 fraudulent votes. In 2016, it was 46 fraudulent votes,” McSwain said. “Now these numbers may sound relatively small, but they made up a significant percentage of the total votes that were cast at the polling place. In 2014, 118 total ballots were reported in the 36th Division of the 39th Ward. That means that DeMuro’s fraudulent votes accounted for over 22% of the total voting in that division in 2014. In 2015, his fraud accounted for over 15% of the total votes in the division. In 2016, his fraud accounted for over 17% of the votes.”
Shouldn't matter.Was his interference enough to overturn any results?
My point is, if the amount of votes he cast was enough to change the results of the election then it is my opinion that the results be reviewed/overturned, and he suffer the criminal penalties for voter fraud. If he did not cast enough votes to affect the election results then he should suffer the criminal penalties for voter fraud.Shouldn't matter.
Not everyone has an ID, or at least a valid one. Many senior citizens who don't drive don't have them or just never renewed their expired license. We already have voter registration, that's what it's for. Are they going to start asking for fingerprints? How about a retinal scan? That is the expansion of government that I'm worried about, and it is always used politically. I really don't think that either party honestly cares about the crime itself, it's just a ploy to keep Americans out of the polls in fear of losing the election. It's a problem that's so tiny but always overblown. It's statistically a non-issue, no instance of voter fraud has ever been enough to change the outcome of an election, or even come close to putting a dent. I just don't see the point, the government can spend its money and time on more pressing issues. I don't want to not prevent electoral fraud, it is a crime. However like I said it happens so rarely in such small numbers that in the end it makes no difference. Anyone who is guilty of it should be punished.
