Voter fraud varies from person-to-person. Many believe that voting machine software manipulation is the major crime and should be punished severely possibly at Gitmo, others would say that destroying registration forms should receive the same punishment.

Many voters have giving-up on the process because they know that their vote will not be counted or it would be counted the way the ones in power wanted it to be counted.

Some would say that when you have 30% for Romney based on exit polls and the result ends-up being 47%, I would say there is fraud.

When the systems were programmed to make the machine count go to Bush, that is fraud.

At a Republican controlled voting place where they only hands out Republican ballots. That's voting fraud.

Now, what do you call having people wait 5 - 6 hours to vote?

I believe you think that you must make it as hard as possible to vote but I see fraud in other places. Who is right depends on the outcome you are looking for.

I find the site interesting. I will use this media more often in the future.

So is Melowese Richardson going to jail? Getting a fine? What is going to happen to her? I hope it is swift and severe. Many people knew there was fraud, but "some" did not want to see it and refused to believe it. Now we have people on TV boasting that they voted twice. Believe it yet?
I favor going back to one day to vote - in person - with an ID. I'm not going to argue the ID issue. It does NOT disenfranchise anyone!! An absentee ballot should only be given to those that will actually be ABSENT (as in away from your district) on voting day. For years and years, people got out to vote on voting day. This giving people a month to vote is ridiculous. If you really want to vote, you will find a way.

When arguing for an ID law, look at the facts. It's hard to find any widespread fraud in voting, based on data from across the country:
Only 48 percent of women have a birth certificate with their current legal name on it.
As many as 25% of eligible voters do not have a valid ID.
Texas' new ID law permits voters to use concealed-handgun licenses as proof of identity, but not state university IDs.
Number of votes cast-2000 to 2010-649 million in general elections
Federal convictions for election fraud, 2000-2010: 26
Number of people hit by lightning for same period: 441

Having recently moved from Massachusetts I found the entire process quite refreshing here in Georgia. While computerized voting is certainly more efficient I would argue that a paper ballot is more secure. Perhaps a combination where you vote using the terminal, the terminal prints out a paper ballot which is then counted by an optical scanner. Just a thought.
Also limit absentee ballots to those who will be out of town on voting day.

Agree with Kim and chris. I was very suspicious about the absentee voting and voting so far in advance. I had to wonder why so many did that (maybe vote again later?) There was a big stink about voting in Philadephia with more votes than actual people but for some reason no one contested it. I think paper is moe secure (unless you're looking for hanging chads- lol).

R - we need ID's mandatory across the board. What's wrong with proving you are who you say you are and what's to keep you from voting numerous times if you don't have it? If no ID, then how do know someone is legal? Common sense.

I showed my I D and would not vote until the lady looked at it, I said nicely why wouldn't anyone be able to produce an I D I think everyone should and she said I agree. Here in NC we had at least 1000 112 year olds vote in one county. The majority were democrat registered. When I contacted the county Guilford they said that according to their census they do not have any 110 plus year olds... The elections board argued it was a computer default date when the birthdate was not collected at time of registration, however a birthdate is required to register to vote. Also the same issue with 108 year olds occurred in the 2008 election- so in four years it couldn't be correct, if the aforemention was the case?

I think absentee ballots should only be issued to people who will not be in their district on voting day. That said, when we have a month to vote, why then have all these absentee ballots? We need to go back to paper ballots, way too easy to hack those computerized systems! And please, yes...ID's all the way. And since licenses are issued to non-citizens and illegal aliens, it needs to state whether the person is a citizen or NOT!!!! You need an ID to show at the doctor's, why not to vote? And...voter registration records must be updated!!

This is just nonsense. The number of cases of voter fraud are so low it doesn't merit attention. In Florida 186'000 names were flagged as suspicious by the GOP state government. They went through the names and came up with exactly one person was illegally registered. The real objective of theses voter ID laws is to prevent people from voting. This backfired badly for the GOP in 2012. What we need to do is make it easier for people to vote. Hold elections over the weekend when people aren't working to increase participation and extent early voting.
