Butthole Bandits 7 and a throwback to Jim Crowe

How does one allege voter fraud?

I dunno, maybe you find a known operator who has been shredding legitimate voter registrations and has over a hundred fraudulent voter registration forms, and you bring charges? It helps, as with all bad things, if it's in Florida. And as I pointed out over and over again in this thread, almost every known case of voter fraud centers on mail-in ballots. Which should be forehead-smackingly obvious.

And God hates Florida.

The best way to combat voter fraud in the presidential race would be to get rid of the electoral college. Besides all the other arguments in favor, it would greatly reduce the chances of there being a tipping point state where a small number of false votes could swing things. And every potential fraudulent voter would know that.

As far as the voter ID laws, aside from what the machiavellian higher ups supposedly think, the regular republicans care about the integrity of the system--regardless of how many cases there are, we shouldn't have obvious loopholes. This is correct, especially since we should avoid giving conspiracy theorists any leg to stand on. Absentee ballots have a potential for fraud and for "you don't really care about the election huh honey? I'll fill it out for you" and they also decrease the secret ballot nature. We should only use them for special reasons.

Aside from that, we should institute a nation wide poll tax. Someone who won't pay a small amount to vote has no business voting. The idea of the divine sanction of the people is a religious superstition.

a small amount

Then what's the purpose? A tax can serve to inhibit certain actions, or to raise revenue. If it ain't revenue...

Inhibition obviously...

Yes, but if you'd rather poor people didn't vote, just out and say it.

Don't put out some fluff about "caring" enough to vote or whatever.

Poor people can vote with a small poll tax. Will they? Mostly they don't already. Something like 3 times as many college educated people vote compared to high school dropouts.

Homeless people, yes, it's absurd that they can vote. I don't know how many gallons of kool-aid someone would have to drink to think otherwise.
