Kudos for showing some consistency and naming the party upfront...

Voterus Fraudus...Contrary to ignorant opinion, it exists...

Democrat withdraws from 1st District congressional race after allegations she voted in two states

Quote:
Wendy Rosen, the Democratic challenger to Republican Rep. Andy Harris in the 1st Congressional District, withdrew from the race Monday amid allegations that she voted in elections in both Maryland and Florida in 2006 and 2008.

It was unclear, however, whether she could remove her name from the ballot with the election less than two months away. Under state law, a candidate has until 70 days before an election to remove his or her name from the ballot. The deadline for the Nov. 6 election passed on Aug. 28.

Democratic leaders — who raised the allegations, urged Rosen to step aside and notified prosecutors — said they would gather Central Committee members this month to identify a write-in candidate for the district, which includes the Eastern Shore and parts of Harford, Carroll, Cecil and Baltimore counties.

Republicans, meanwhile, said the allegations prove that voter fraud is real and called on Democrats to join the GOP in calling for reforms.

Rosen, 57, a Cockeysville businesswoman and Maryland voter, told The Baltimore Sun that she registered to vote in Florida several years ago in order to support a "very close friend" running for the St. Petersburg City Council and to vote on local issues there.

Rosen said she was able to register in Florida because she owned property there.

Under Maryland law, a voter here may not maintain registration in a second state if it allows the voter to participate in state or federal elections there
, according to Jared DeMaris, director of candidacy and campaign finance at the State Board of Elections.

State Democratic Chairwoman Yvette Lewis said an examination of voting records in Maryland and Florida showed that Rosen participated in the 2006 general election and the 2008 primaries in both states.

Maryland and Florida both held gubernatorial and congressional contests in 2006 and presidential primaries in 2008, when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton competed for the Democratic nomination.
Remember when "Vote early and often" was a sarcastic phrase and NOT meant to be taken literally?...

Coyote, you've been the one who's been at the forefront of the "What voter fraud?" vanguard, so give it a rest. You know that you have made these kind of comments before, so how about showing a little integrity??

No. And what you just said is exactly my point.

I've consistently said the same thing and that thing is NOT "what voter fraud".

What I've said is the type of voter fraud that occurs in the voting booth (where a person impersonates another or a dead person for example and that could be resolved by voter ID) is very rare. In fact, the recent threads on voter fraud show exactly what I mean because they are examples of a different kind of voter fraud where voter ID has absolutely no effect.

So, should I "give it a rest" or will YOU show a little integrity admit you are deliberately mistrepresenting what I and others have said?

NO ONE HAS SAID VOTER FRAUD DOESN'T OCCUR!

Yes, let's just create an either/or fallacy - way to go.

1. Disenfranchise a whole bunch of voters
2. Eliminate citizenship.

No inbetween in combating non-existant voter fraud.

Such hyperbole

And I was saying being sarcastic wasn't I? ( think that is obvious even with out the necessary emoticons).

And how many times have I clearly stated what I meant?

Be honest.

I do not understand. I thought certain people told us fraudulent voting does not exist.

I am so confused.

You should not be confused.

No one has stated that voter fraud does not exist.

People have said that certain types of voter fraud are so uncommon as to be insignificant.

It really isn't confusing unless you choose to deliberately distort someones statement.
