David S asked in Politics & GovernmentPolitics · 9 years ago

If I had person's name and address, could I get their ballot and vote for them?

Lets say I knew a person's name and address, could I go down to their voting precinct and vote on their ballot?

Update:

Sweet's....want to bet?

Update 2:

Well. It turns out that you can.

A guy went to the Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder's precinct and gave them his name and address. They gave the guy his ballot.....but..but ..but Holder has said that voter fraud is not a major problem in the United States, and that voter ID would not curb voter fraud in any case.

    I'm a Judge of Elections. I KNOW how fraud is done; I know how to stop it; know that ALL elected Democrats fight to make stopping it illegal and that for most Districts the LAWFUL means for balking fraud are extremely week.

    In MOST districts:

    You show-up, give a NAME and get to vote if that NAME is in the register. If you use an overly common name, you'll also have to give an address that matches the name you gave. EVERYWHERE Democrats have their way, it's ILLEGAL for the Elections Officials to try to verify you are who you claim to be.

    So, in MOST places, as long as you know a NAME of someone registered in the district there is nothing stopping you from stealing their ballot and repeating this district by district all day long, particularly since registration data is PUBLIC RECORD. ALL elected Democrats fight to the death to keep it that way.

    Here's the thing. If you show-up at my polling place and claim to be my neighbor who lives across the street, I'll KNOW you aren't, can swear-out an affidavit to that effect and prevent you voting. (and have you arrested) If you claim to be someone less familiar there's NOTHING I CAN DO to prevent you stealing that person's ballot - in most districts. Of course, you don't know WHO I know so it's a dangerous game. I'll see you leave in handcuffs. Of course you also don't know WHERE my district is - so watch-it.

    Just this morning I saw a video of a "hidden camera investigation" on this topic....

    A guy was able to go in and "register a third party" ("Timothy Tebow") to vote in Minnesota I think was the state. Asked all sorts of questions and one lady in the voter registration office was caught saying, "We're not the police."

    Now can we say.... Voter Fraud is real? And you should be required to prove you are who you are to vote?

    I'd bet that happens especially with absentee ballots and unscrupulous partisans.
