More Voter Fraud
Chris Hayes commits some.
In a reasonable country, what we would have is an affirmative right of adult citizens to vote. Then “fraud” would consist of voting multiple times, or voting someplace where you’re clearly ineligible to vote. Currently, there is no affirmative right to vote. Consequently, any violation of any number of picayune technical elements of process counts, in some sense, as fraud. Filling out a registration form wrong by accident is, arguably, fraud. Or if you’re a college student and your freshman dorm is in a different precinct from your sophomore dorm, but you forgot to get your registration information updated before the deadline so you go vote in the precinct where you’re registered that’s arguably fraud. So all this stuff happens, and there’s a lot of fraud. Or, rather, “fraud.” It’s clerical errors, really, but conservatives are trying to make it out to be some vast election-stealing conspiracy.

No. It’s not. Maybe negligent misrepresentation. Fraud requires intent.

In other words, the ACORN-Truthers persist in believing something that on its face is manifestly and obviously absurd.
Priceless. ACORN-Truthers. The ACORN bashers are now up there with 9/11 conspiracy pushers and Toronto Raptors fans. damn Straigt

Ann Coulter
That’s the only example of “voter fraud” that I know of. She voted in the wrong precinct.

Come to think of it, I guess I might have committed voter fraud when I was 18, at least by the Republican definition. I turned 18 in early August, 2000. Before the end of August, I left home to study in France for a year. Before the end of September, my parents moved from the house we had lived in to another town in the same state. They still owned the first house, but they had definitely moved – new mailing address, new primary residence for tax purposes, etc. However, I sent in my absentee ballot to the first town. I guess that was fraud too. If you accused me of intent to commit fraud, there would be a decent case – I mean, I knew when I registered to vote that my parents wouldn’t be living in the first town anymore.
