Note to LJ, when voter registration fraud does exist,

Post by Guinevere »

It is committed by old white Republican men:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investig ... dd736e6c31
The Post learned that state prosecutors in Miami have an active investigation into Bannon’s assertions that he was a Florida resident and qualified to vote in the state from 2014 to 2016. In late August, investigators subpoenaed Bannon’s lease of a Coconut Grove home and other documents. They also contacted the landlords of that home and another that Bannon leased nearby, and sought information from a gardener and handyman who worked at one of the homes, according to documents and interviews.

Note to Guin...

I don't think there are a whole lot of old white Republican men in the thoroughly documented examples of unqualified voters on the registration rolls that you will find at the link in my sig line... :P

Maybe not a whole lot of old white men, but a high proportion of President Trump's family were registered in more than one voting district at the time of the election last November.

Serious question: so? Did they VOTE twice? I suspect I may have been registered in 2 places (former address in RI, current place in NH) after I moved. I never cancelled my RI voter registration...honestly, it simply never occured to me to do so. (And taking a day off work and driving 4 hours in the process appealed even less.)

By your question you are implicitly stating that registration irregularities are not in and of themselves evidence of voter fraud.

And since 99.9% of the case for the existence of widespread voter fraud is based on nothing but registration irregularities...

If affirmative cancellation of voter registration is required, then I am still registered in Maine, Arizona, and Montana as well as Massachusetts.

I confess! Too much other shit to deal with during a major relocation.

I'll bet my mother and aunt, who both passed away in the last few years, are also still registered to vote.

You're all missing the point. It's not the fact of multiple registrations. It's the fact of multiple registrations and asserting he was qualified to vote (i.e., a resident) in a state where it appears he did not reside.
