Voter Fraud Found In Florida

The issue of voter misrepresentation and new prohibitive voter ID laws has taken this nation by storm the final couple of years.  Republican lawmaking bodies the whole way across the nation have taken "a stand against voter misrepresentation" and passed remarkably prohibitive new laws which they case will diminish the plausibility of false voting.

It  happens that Florida, with their Republican  Governor Rick Scott, is one of these states asserting strict voter ID laws are wanted to counteract the probability of uncontrolled voter fraud,

Well, an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has concluded, and their findings are absolutely stunning.

Upon concluding their investigation, they reported a staggering—two cases of voter registration fraud.

Yes, after several months of investigation following the 2012 elections, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement found a whopping two cases of actual voter registration fraud.

Oh, and the kicker?  The two cases consisted of two voter registration forms fraudulently filled out by a man who worked for the Republican party.  He admitted to stealing the identity of his former girlfriend’s ex-husband and filling out the two forms.

Well, the number of cases might increase considering two more cases do remain open, though it’s clear Governor Scott has moved on from this investigation.

I guess that’s what happens when you try to invent a problem that has never existed.

And this pattern of not finding “rampant” evidence of voter fraud isn’t just in Florida — Republicans all across the country are having trouble finding evidence that fraudulent voting is a threat to our election process.

But Republicans haven’t let these kinds of facts stand in their way of passing highly restrictive new voting laws in numerous Republican-controlled states which they claim will reduce the number of cases where people have tried to vote or register to vote illegally.

Though, let’s be honest.  Anyone with even a shred of common sense is well aware that these laws have nothing to do with “voter fraud” and everything to do with keeping people who often don’t vote for Republicans from being able to vote at all.
