Why the country needed the voter-ID decision
Why register people who don't exist?

I have written already on the voter ID SCOTUS decision. When the crazy left objects to voter ID, they cry suppression. But Abigail Thornstrom, the Vice-Chair of the US Commission on Civil Rights points to, perhaps, the simplest sentence in the decision, "There is no question about the legitimacy or importance of the State’s interest in counting only the votes of eligible voters."
The problem for the far left, is that we are on to their strategy. Every year, ACORN tries to register zillions of non-existent voters. Watch this to see how they do it in Washington state:
If they don't exist.

They were paying canvassers for the number of voter names they registered. They hired people who have low work ethic to do the canvassing. It's pretty easy to expect that you'll get pages of false names filled in on forms, because you make more money faster and easier by copying names from the phone book than you do from knocking doors.
Socialism doesn't work. It looks nice on paper, but it's been tried and it's failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).

have mail in voting. Now these ACORN canvassers can have all the mail-in ballots sent to them for voting. Washington continues the voter fraud malfeasance because Democrats control the legislature and successfully prosecute the case that mail-in voting is better for everyone...wrong.

robbed of a congressional seat a few years ago? I guess all the Starbucks yuppie liberals are not above a little old school tammany hall type politics.

Dino Rossi lost the Governor's election in a very close race that I wrote some about earlier this year when Dino re-entered the race. http://www.redstate.com/blogs/ekevlar11/2008/feb/07/washington_state_gov...

from my limited knowledge it looked like he was robbed.

were these fictitious folks producing manufactured utility bills fo IDs when showing up to vote?
I’m wondering how these ineligible voters were allowed to vote. If they were required to show utility bills or such, that means the documents had to have been manufactured with their names and residence. Was this the case?
So far as I can tell nobody ever found a case where the bogus voter registrations were used to actually cast a vote. BrianH got the reasoning right above, they paid people per registration so the canvassers just made up names and addresses or copied them from the phone book, etc.
I'm actually in favor of ID laws provided it's simple and free to get an ID and Indiana's allowed you can cast a provisional vote and register, get a photo ID, or whatever up to 10 days later. Were the earliest voter ID laws that easy?
The only problem I have is driver's licenses have become much harder to get for some people because of RealID. I remember when Medicare stopped reimbursing facilities providing long term care to elderly patients because they couldn't prove they were citizens. I'm not exactly advocating these are going to be educated voters, but I don't see how they can possibly become a voter if they can't even prove they are a citizen because they were likely poor, black, and old enough that nobody kept records back then. The case I remember that made the headlines involved someone who was mentally unable to help provide information, but so far as I can tell there is no law to that person voting and thus the obvious question. Under what situations can this person vote?
Oh, just wanted to add, that I presume the individual case I mentioned assumes this individual in the past probably had a drivers license and voted when he was younger. The question is how does the new rules apply to him now.
that this has no impact on why the country needed the voter-ID decision? We're stopping the ineligible voters that were never going to vote anyway. Or, we're implementing a law to remedy a problem that never existed.
I know for a fact that someone voted using my sister's name when she was still registered in Missouri but lived in Boston. I know this because I voted after "her" and the name was signed and the address had been changed to someone else's address, but there aren't any other people in this county (or probably state) with that particular name.
We alerted the election judges and her name was removed prior to the next election, but it definitely happens.
I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful 100 percent.
Since the days of Boss Tweed, and probably before. I remember in the 1970's, in Louisiana, watching them pick up the old folks and the poor rural blacks in school buses, then handing them the list of who they should vote for an two dollars. Sometimes they even went into the voting booth with them.
And I do not believe that things have changed much, maybe they have to pay a little more that's it.
