Someone Please Answer My Question

[busterbrown]

Why in the hell?.... if you were an illegal immigrant or an immigrant who was not registered, would you show up at a Polling Center, where you know all sorts of polling security and officials would be present?

I mean the reward wouldn’t even be close to the repercussions which one would suffer if they attempted to vote illegally...

Jesus..... if you were illegal, would you show up at a polling center with false I.D.?
You would have to be fucking insane..

I live in a County filled will illegal hard working people..And just believe me 99% of them just want to find work, feed their families and perhaps send a few dollars back home. Without them the Restaurant and basic labor (Maintenance, Gardening, Security businesses would be in deep trouble..

1. It doesn't have to make sense

It just have to fit in with the delusional Donald narrative. He wants to badly to believe he won the popular vote.

Your take on things makes far more sense but we're dealing with a megalomaniac.

16. It's more than that. They know they're lying, and the lie is very useful to them.

If they can keep their base up in arms about the mythical voter-fraud epidemic, then the base will support them in passing more and more voting restrictions that help keep potential Democratic voters from the polls. And those restrictions help them win the close ones, like WI, MI and PA in 2016.

2. No he does not

As you pointed out so well, why on earth would they risk voting? For the "I Voted" sticker? He is the perfect storm of a human being, stupid, mean, and greedy. He's a walking violation of the Ten Commandments.

3. It's fun to deconstruct right wing talking points, good to see someone else likes it

But they think it's a conspiracy, they think this immigrant votes one million times, being observed by complicit polling officials.

Quite simply, they don't trust the voice of the people. This is why they want the electoral college and this is why they are so concerned about voter fraud.

4. You wouldn't, nor would you vote in two states if you are still registered

elsewhere after you moved.

And to be fair, I don't think there is near the voter suppression we think. Yes, there is some and GOPers will try new tactics, but most of the suppression can be handled unless you don't check your registration status and what you need as an ID well ahead of time. If you find you have a problem, call your local Democratic office and get help. If you can vote early, do it. Don't wait until it's too late or something comes up on the last Tuesday.

5. ask instead "what does such an assertion justify if it were true?"

we're about to find out.

if POTUS Trump decides that 3-5 million people vote illegally, i'd expect him & the deplorable congress to find ways to make legal voting much harder for 30+ million people.

6. "99% of them just want to find work, feed their families and perhaps send a few dollars back home"

I'm now 70 and retired blah, blah, blah ...

When I lived in San Diego and L. A. in the 80's and 90's I knew a number of "illegal workers".
They did the maintenance, waxed the floors, etc in places I worked.

In my humble opinion (and I may catch Hell for this) I thought they worked harder and better than American workers in similar jobs.

I think they worked extra hard because they really needed the job, and needed money to pay the rent and feed the family.
Maybe American workers thought "If I lose this job, I'll just go get another one."

Seemed once "illegals" got a job, they did everything to keep it.

And I knew of none who voted here, or tried to get food stamps, healthcare, etc.

They made great friends, and I enjoyed knowing them.

7. for beer and "walkin around money"

like the fake voters that they hire.

[trof]

8. For money.

That's what paranoid repugs think.

[busterbrown]

10. Oh that makes sense!

[trof]

12. In the not too distant past it was a fairly common practice.

Back in the mid 50s my uncle was running for County Attorney in a county in Kentucky.
A week before the election one of his campaign 'advisors' (good ol' boy) told him "We'll need 500 bucks to get the votes in from (local neighborhood)."
"For what?"
"To pay 'em. Five bucks a head, 100 votes."
My uncle said he didn't play that way. He was a straight arrow.
He lost the election.
