Everybody’s talking about voter fraud these days. Republicans are using it as a smokescreen to make it harder (or impossible) for minorities and poor people to vote. (Rand Paul says it’s no big deal, but Rand Paul is a racist piece of shit, so you should always do the opposite of everything Rand Paul says.) In response to all this, Bill Fletcher Jr. at the New Pittsburgh Courier revives a very important argument against voter fraud:
A fascinating article in Mother Jones from July 2012, which I only just discovered, contains the sorts of ammunition that is needed in this debate, ammunition that really can not only end the argument but open up the real question: Why are the Republicans trying to make it more difficult to vote?
The article, by Hamed Aleaziz, Dave Gilson and Jaeah Lee contains this little factoid at the end: Between 2000 and 2010 there were 649 million votes cast in general elections; 47,000 UFO sightings; 441 Americans killed by lightning; and 13 credible cases of in-person voter impersonation.
If you subtract racism and classism, there’s no real reason for Republicans to be pursuing this agenda right now. It makes absolutely no sense.
That would be credible, *reported*, cases of in person voter fraud.
