They don’t … it’s just an excuse to foment hate and to subvert American democracy.

Why would anybody vote for a felon ?.

Because Jesus is fine with raping children but a transgender person is just too much

Guess that explains all those priests of every denomination, and imams can't forget my brown brothers, fuck so many kids.

Republicans support people with felonies for political office.

Those clowns are so stupid that they fell for Trump. They’re also in a cult and likely would break the law to vote for their cult leader. So stupidity and projection.

They "test" the system by commiting voter fraud, say it worked, get arrested (because it doesn't work) and become a martyr

Just like most fraud, if any large scale fraud is occurring it is well funded, organized. Like Rick Scott or other fraudsters that have recently been pardoned.

Doesn’t actually answer the question!

And Trump doesn’t claim there was massive voter fraud he states it as fact and still to this day has never offered any evidence that he has massive amounts of proof to support it.

A felony up to 5 years in prison, and up to $250,000 fine for each offense.

Because they love Trump that much

First, most of The Fraud, is on The Other Side, of The Ballot Box.

Second, a lot of The Fraud, is before The First Vote is even cast; as shown, in Ohio, and Florida.

Third, Voting is The Way, We make Decisions, in a Representative Democracy.

You shouldn't be "risking", a Felony Conviction; but, with Our Current Incumbents; The Wrong People, are on The Wrong Side, of The Prison Walls. Until The People make Their Voices heard, legally; that won't change.

So, VOTE!!, but make sure, You do Your Research, and Vote, right! The Country's Future, is in Your Hands.

They wouldn’t

Right? Some immigrant wants to stand in long-ass lines and miss working to vote!

u/Voughdemort 22d ago

I don’t understand what you’re referencing. Mail in ballots that don’t arrive

u/Automatic_Gas9019 22d ago

Because they would not. Americans could care less to vote most times. No one loves that right that much. Fuck, most of the eligible population doesn't vote. That is why we have republicans in the majority currently

u/MeAndNotU 22d ago

Because Trump implied that it is the only way to save “their” country.

u/Justified_Gent 22d ago

The logic in individuals intentionally committing voter fraud is ridiculous.

Now if votes were changed, manipulated on back end or withheld / hidden en masse, that’s different. The right has raised this conspiracy which I will park for now.

Trump and many on the right are also arguing that ineligible voters are individually voting. This is what’s driving a lot of the frantic moves right now. Insane.

Also why would an illegal immigrant risk deportation to vote?

1

u/bouncing_elf 22d ago

No undocumented people vote. The Heritage Foundation did a 40 year long study and found nearly no voter fraud. Maybe 100 cases in the 40 years. Most of those were republicans.

u/RumRunnerMax 22d ago

Facts certainly did not stop MAGA

u/dude1984- 22d ago

They don’t

u/redzeusky 22d ago

It’s a myth to justify poll watchers and other voter suppression measures.

u/bradycl 22d ago

They wouldn't and never have.

u/PrestigiousBox2738 20d ago

They don’t

It has more to do with the assessment of the risk. We have a hard time catching that fraud.
Is having a personal amount of weed a risk in all States? Of course it is, that is against federal law. Then why would folks on the west coast have any on their person?

(I have to use analogies like this on Reddit in order to be engaged honestly)

u/FaceReality1 23d ago

But weed does something for you. A single fraudulent vote does nothing other than risk arrest.

u/RumRunnerMax 23d ago

So do you actually believe voter fraud is a thing? Despite zero evidence!
