How many believe the repubs will use vote fraud and election fraud to win the midterm elections?

Question

With the widespread use of electronic voting, vote fraud and fraudulent elections will increase. The repubs will not go quietly into the night. It's going to take armed insurrection to pry them out now that they have control. We need massive voting and election reform. We need term limits not just for individuals but for political parties as well! We need campaign spending limits and full discloser where the money is coming from and especially no corporate donations not even indirectly! We need to see the money trail before and after the election to know who is beholden to whom and for how much!

Answer 1

Democrats are far more likely to commit voter fraud. They did it in larger numbers in 2004 as well according to an independent study.

I think it highly likely that the Dems will blame a loss on voting machines, because they haven't been able to respect a loss gracefully in years.

Answer 2

UMM, did you pay attention in government class? What happened in the FL vote counts (which is where these issues originate) wasn't fraud. It was directly related to two things.
1. An outdated system called the electorial college (which you should know about from said government class)
2. An outrageous process of requiring people to vote for the party they wish to elect. (requires reading of directions)

If the people who accidentally voted for the wrong canidate had taken a minute to pay attention to what they were doing they would have voted correctly.
That said, if they're not smart enough to work a ballot do they really need to be choosing world leaders?
How on earth can you call it fraud when the votes were counted toward the canidates they were cast for?
As for the republicans retaining control, have you paid any attention to the election patterns of the last 80 years. Elections swing as predictably as a pendulum. Parties alternate control on a pretty predictable basis and I don't anticipate that this election will be any different.
Fraud favoring one party over another isn't easy to accomplish as voting systems are not established by a single political party. If you can't count on your own party to guard the fairness of the system, maybe you should consider joining a party that will.

Answer 3

Get over it. Elections are not fraudulent - there are checks and balances. Whoever wins wins.

And the Dems get as many corporate donations as Republicans - look at Hollywood - all Democrats! Huge money! And campaign donations are all public knowledge - they need to be disclosed by law. If you want to know, just look it up. Candidates HAVE TO disclose this information.

Answer 4

I keep seeing this strawman argument about bogeyman 'Republican' vote fraud, yet for the most part only see actual Democrat vote fraud.

And if you actually looked at the reality, the places where all the questionable votes and voter issues are happening is in big Democrat cities, with Democrat election officials.

It is also Democrats that violently resist voters showing ID to prove they are who they say they are. It is Democrats in MI that do mass absentee ballot mailings, unsolicited, which is a policy ripe for abuse.

No, I fail to see any true Democrat support for fraud-free elections. They mouth the words, but their actions contradict those words.

Answer 5

I beleive both parties will use whatever means available.

I too beleive their should be term limits on all positions. They are ment to serve us ,not their personal careers.
Definate campaign limits since it's making it impossible for anyone to serve in the government unless they are rich or connected.
I would like "none of the above" added to my choice since I'm not too happy with the choices they are allowing me to pick from.
I would like to see it mandatory that a 3rd party is allowed to debate with the others. They are blocking any chance for another to get a fair shot.
I too beleive we have the right to see where that money trail leads. I'm afraid most would be surprised as to who is really running the show and we did not vote for them.

Answer 6

at an identical time because it has curiously been common (no longer formally), that their have been extra unlawful electorate than the small margin that Franken "gained" the recount by potential of, their isn't any thank you to correctly known how the votes by potential of those people went. what's finest is the shortcoming of activity by potential of the election officers. Now if Franken had any ethical fiber, he'd come out and demand that those allegations be appeared into. we are going to see....

Answer 7

Poor Democrats are just pissed cuz they don't have an actual campaign platform still...

Republicans might be as lame as "Fight the Browns and Touch the Little Boys" but it's still better than nothing.

I'm really getting sick of both parties... how come all the independants have to be crazy?

Answer 8

The DEMs run all the election offices as well as determining the media and what it looks like. So I would have to say the Democrats are more likely to commit voter fraud or Sue(Gore) to get their way

Answer 9

LMAO! That's hilarious! Dems have been fixing elections for so long that they just ASSUME that the winner must have cheated! Talk about paranoia! Armed revolt??? There's nothing wrong with our system that hasn't BEEN wrong for almost a century! Grow up.

Answer 10

Considering it has been shown how easy, one of the electronic voting machines is to hack, there is no doubt something underhanded will happen. I don't know if it will be the Repb. or some lowlife in the general population.
