Voter Fraud is Mathematically Irrelevant

Please read and share: http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/01/voter-fraud-is-mathematically-irrelevant.html

"To substantiate this statement, I must first explain that while certain paid political operatives may try to commit fraud in counting votes, it is rare/almost nonexistent that actual voters attempt fraud. In numerous investigations, nothing material ever shows up. The full wealth and might of the Asset Strippers (the Oligarchs in waiting) is behind efforts to find Voter Fraud because to prove a pattern of fraud would massively help their goal of suppressing the vote. The fact this even has to be discussed is evidence of the haplessness of the media in general and the institutionalized and intentional dishonesty inherent within Fox News – and other Billionaire run media outlets. Let me allow the Brennan Center for Justice to explain why voter fraud is insignificant."

6 corporations own more than 90% of all news media. I despise fox news politics but I despise the state.of journalism in this country far more. Sensationalism and exploitation for profit has become the mission statement for news.providers.

As for the rest of.your comment, you are absolutely correct. The search.for.individual voter.fraud is absolutely linked with voter suppression.

I think there was a voter frauded flipped election somewhere in a town with 40 or 50 voters, though.

Voter fraud, meaning someone manages to impersonate another voter or to vote in more than one place, is vanishingly rare.

Election fraud is a rigged or stolen election carried out by election insiders or outsiders. Election fraud occurs when votes are counted and tallied to change the result contrary to the will of the voter's.
