Voting regulations are among the powers left to the states. Which, despite the Civil War and increased Federal control, are still independent polities, with their own Constitutions, laws, armed forces, legislatures, and heads of state.<br /><br />Not only are election laws threaded all through my State's Constitution, the power to manage registration and run the polls is held by the 75 counties, not by the state government. Any legislative attempt by the state legislature to usurp that power would be political suicide.<br /><br />The state government has enacted *some* regulations concerning elections, most famously a requirement for photo ID at the polls, which was struck down last year by a Federal court as "racist."

Last time they had something like a 99% turnout and not one vote for Romney.

In other words, absolutely nothing........Unless you're standing there watching with the means of punishment in hand, nothing happens.</i><br /><br />Oh, I think "something" will happen, and it won't be "nothing." <br /><br />If Hilary wins - a distinct possibility even <i>without</i> Democrats cheating - quite a few folks will ascribe the win to cheating, especially if it's a close win. Whether or not it <i>actually is</i> cheating is something that will take time, perhaps months, maybe even years, to uncover, during which time there will be no shortage of conspiratorial musing to thoroughly muddy the waters. <br /><br />That "something" I mentioned above? If Mr. and Ms. Average Citizen develop a rock solid belief that no election can be trusted because cheating is so widespread and effective, then they will seek other means of selecting the leadership whom they believe will look out for their interests.

Shows all the way, voters have been duped to the wrong sides of issues in all the years that followed. It doesn't matter the party in control, if the machines, are corrupted. Even the simple Chad doesn't compare to untraceable voting records. But, every system is secure?

In other words, absolutely nothing. <br /><br />The ruling class benefits from this, so they have no incentive to fix it and all the incentive in the world to wave their hands and behave like it doesn't happen or doesn't matter. It's a like telling the misbehaving kid to do something. Unless you're standing there watching with the means of punishment in hand, nothing happens. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-18748975623710898702016-10-19T07:03:10.289-05:002016-10-19T07:03:10.289-05:00Reminder to everyone that the Republicans are bann...Reminder to everyone that the Republicans are banned from fighting this stuff by consent decree. <br />http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/12/05/is-it-true-that-the-rnc-cant-challenge-voter-fraud/Nate Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630873800235819300noreply@blogger.com
