Doonesbury: “So is voting fraud for real?"

[kpete]

And as the strip correctly points out (take note Republican readers), a thorough investigation was indeed done by BushCo, and guess what they found:

Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.[...]

Most of those charged have been Democrats, voting records show. Many of those charged by the Justice Department appear to have mistakenly filled out registration forms or misunderstood eligibility rules, a review of court records and interviews with prosecutors and defense lawyers show.

We owe Garry Trudeau another immense thank you for this story arc:

2. Voting fraud is oh so very real -- in Pinal County, Arizona.

http://eastvalleyweekly.com/pinal-candidate-enright-accused-of-voter-fraud-and-unlawful-possession-of-property-pinal-county/

Pinal County, AZ - Documents reportedly in the hands of the Pinal County Attorney’s Office accuse John Enright, a Republican candidate for the District 5 seat on the county’s board of supervisors, of voter fraud, sources allege.

A complaint accuses Enright of voting since 2007 by early ballots sent to his late long-time girlfriend, Sheila May Nassar, who died in 2007. Her early ballots were mailed in, along with his own, said a source who volunteered in Pinal County elections. The couple shared a home after Nassar’s husband abandoned her. She suffered from multiple sclerosis.

Voter records show Enright’s current wife, Sharon Keiser also has received early voter ballots at the same address, but when asked if she ever filled out ballots in the name of Sheila May Nassar, she answered with an emphatic “No.”

. . . . . .

July 25, 2012 – Reports have been confirmed regarding a raid on the home of John Enright in Gold Canyon, Arizona yesterday by the County Attorney’s office. Stay tuned as more information becomes available.

5. It is a

preemptive strike against voter fraud. dumbya's administration was in the forefront of establishing the preemptive policy.

6. I remember one specific case of voter fraud ...

but then, Coulter was let off with ... maybe ... a slap on the wrist, at most.

7. The reason they can find no voter fraud

is they are not looking into Republican districts or specifically where you find Republican Secretary's of State.

9. Sorry, but there IS voter fraud

I know of one at least ONE person who registered to vote in Massachusetts when he wasn't actually a resident......but I guess since he subsequently became governor, he was a resident RETROACTIVELY.

10. Thank you!

Anybody who helps expose the GOP's 'voter fraud fraud' is on my A List!

11. It's the ELECTION FRAUD

that's the problem. Not the voters, but those who count 'em.

12. Clinton Curtis testified that HE rigged the voting software at the request of and in favor of GOP

Check him out, folks. There's more evidence than Curtis, too, if you care to do your research.

13. Another Lie like the other lies,

there is no voting fraud, but there is election fraud and apathy. We are 39 among all the countrys with elections on voting participation among elgible voters.

Each election year was proceeded by tv adds, to register, and vote not by fraudulant claims that too many people were voting.

Tis true, there is a sucker born every minute, and some of them host news shows or went into government.
