Indiana Democratic Party Sues to Allow Vote Fraud

Indiana Democratic Party Sues to Allow Vote Fraud

One of the greatest excuses the Democrats have used that this law should not be on the books is that the Republicans have offered a solution without an established problem. The Democrats say that there is no series of prosecution or complaints that would justify this "extreme" law.

Just a quick point: there is no way to accuse someone in a manner that would establish probable cause for vote fraud to the grandmas and retirees at the registration tables without the ID requirement. The Democrats are begging the question: how many people are voting under names under their own? Well, how are we supposed to be sure that they are whom they claim that they are? By studying signatures for forgery? Having Sibboleths that they are supposed to speak?

("Sibboleths" refers to biblical passage where there was a running war between two cities across the Jordan River from one another that spoke the same language. Judges 17, I believe. One group asked suspected spies to say "Sibboleth." The suspected spy was confirmed to be spying by his accent. It would be like asking Joe Pesci's "My Cousin Vinny" to say "2 youths" without saying "2 yutes.")

Democrats fear that ID's will actually prevent voter fraud schemes that allegedly run rampant in certain Democratic strongholds. This will suppress Democrat votes as they accuse; fine, so long as it is the voting dead or mythic persons named "Fido." If it is verifiable that persons (who have a legal obligation to carry IDs) are not whom they claim to be, the Republicans' polling judges can prevent fraudulent votes for Democrats and have the perpetrators prosecuted for election fraud -- potentially reaching into the Democrat party. This would be bad for Democrats.

If Democrats are as pure as the fresh, driven snow, they will have few voters that do not already possess a qualifying ID, and the Republicans can be shown to be fantasizing about Democrat vote fraud being abundant. The Democrat Party reputation is enhanced.

The only problem with this law for Democrats is that the possibility of voter fraud might actually prove as bad as Republicans fear.
