Fraudulent Voters are Enemies of the USA.

Voter fraud is a growing problem, every election brings more criminal activity. Our drive to make voting easier for eligible voters only makes voter fraud more appealing.
Those who take part in, or encourage voter fraud are enemies of the nation. If you know of any incidents, you should respond the same way you should with any other attack against us.
Report it!
To shrug it off is just as caustic to our way of life as to carry out voter fraud yourself.

I completely agree with you. I also include those who throw away legitimate ballots, illegally and fraudulently change party affiliation for profit, jam phone banks illegally to prevent workers from making arrangements to pick up shut-ins and the disabled so that they can get to the polls and vote and change polling places without notice.

"Voter fraud is a growing problem"
No, it isn't. Voter fraud on any significant scale is a non-existent problem.
Voter fraud is not the same thing as registration fraud, which is an annoyance, but registering fake people has no effect on elections, because fake registrations are easy to verify and throw out before Election Day, but more importantly, FAKE PEOPLE CAN'T VOTE.
In 2004-2005, a MAJOR nationwide investigation by the Justice Department was made into alleged ACTUAL voter fraud (meaning ACTUAL fraudulent votes, not phony registrations, which obviously don't automatically lead to fraudulent votes, as this very investigation showed), and not ONE single person was prosecuted:
"The nearly yearlong investigation into voter fraud in 2004 has yielded no evidence of a broad conspiracy to try to steal an election, U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic said Monday." --http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=375572
However, around the same time, news of THOUSANDS of phony registrations were breathlessly reported on by conservatives. Guess how many of those registrations turned into phony votes?
When people like you stop either falling for the con or knowingly conning people into thinking that some lazy bum writing up fake names for a quick buck somehow magically creates fraudulent votes, then maybe you'll be able to give a reasoned opinion on the subject. Right now, all you're doing is misleading people, whether you know it or not.

Clarus, I was watching a report of Acorn where it was said they were getting paid per sign up. The official receiving these registrations pulled about 8,000 out they perceived to be fraudulent. Acorn said it was a "right wing conspiracy". These officials that pulled them out as fraudulent were Democrats. Not republicans, democrats. It was the democrats that sent them to the justice department not the republicans.

You're kind of making my point for me, though I'm sure the case above was a clerical error and not the result of deliberate misconduct. The point is that if a kid is put on the jury duty list, that doesn't mean he's going to actually serve jury duty. Likewise, if some guy puts phony onto registration forms to fill his quota so that he'll get paid, that's not going to magically bring those people to the polls to put in fake votes.

Voter fraud is very serious and undermines our Democracy. I find it appalling. I think they should charge ACORN with the Ricco act.

I can guarantee that most of these people the Acorn are registering never went near a voting booth and never will. Neither do any of them that check off the voter registration of the back of the welfare forms.
People who do vote actually go and register. I went to the library and registered.

They don't have to, they have the criminals at ACORN to do their voting for them.

I still do not get how this is possible. It just does not make sense you need a PHOTO ID to vote, at least in my state. I mean I imagine in such numbers such acts would signal a red flag right away. This can be contested.

I agree with you completely, parated. Voting is an important right as well as an important responsibility and, as such, it's imperative that fraud be reported quickly.
