GOP'S Voter Fraud Fairy Tale -- TYT

submitted by Boise_Lib

1 decade 1 year 8 months 1 week ago

YouTube Description:

"In the wake of a judge's decision not to block Pennsylvania's controversial voter ID law, Mike Turzai, the Republican legislator who made headlines in June when he said the law would help Mitt Romney win the state in November, repeated the falsehood that the state has a history of election fraud... As they fought to defend the law in court, state officials conceded that no one had ever been prosecuted for in-person voter ID fraud and that there was no evidence that it had ever occurred in the state. In-person election fraud, which the state's ID law is supposed to prevent, is extremely rare: a study of in-person voter fraud in presidential elections going back to 2000 found just 10 cases of voter fraud during a period when more than 600 million votes were cast...".
The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

obscuring the line between voter REGISTRATION fraud and actual incidents of FRAUDULENT VOTES CASTED has really helped the Repugnicans.

The former may screw up their efforts to gerrymander districts to get more favorable outcomes; the latter is an excuse to violate civil rights and DEFRAUD THE ELECTORATE.

How quaint. Must be tough to have to play dirty to win.
