Be damn sure you do not leave the polling location until you are sure your vote was counted. If the machines are down, stand there and wait. Do not leave.

If you are a little bit late getting back from lunch your boss will understand. Remind them you are trying to keep their taxes low too.

God bless you all.

The statistics being cited for saying fraud doesn't occur are based on the fact that the legal system really refuses to take action. I could cite case after case but to give one example the reason people are rarely prosecuted for voting out of state is because the judge won't take action unless the person admits to the crime! So if you are living elsewhere, you vote in other state, unless you stand up there and go I voted illegally, they won't do anything.

So your illegal vote is considered a legal vote. This goes for several things, where people voted illegally and they know they voted illegally but they aren't taking the vote out of the pile because of the complicated legal process involved. So, they end up with some absurd stat that fraud occurs so rarely that it's irrelevant.

If widespread fraud were ever proven in a court of law to have occurred, it would be the impetus to strengthen security in all elections. Remember, we still don't have national voter ID laws. We don't even use citizen checks, we have mail in ballots all over the place. We had ballot boxes on the street! Anyone could drop a ballot in them!

It was one of the most laxly managed elections in first world history. So, yeah I'd take any evidence of voter fraud. Anything of significance and I really don't care much who those votes favored. If it proves fraud did occur, I'm all for it.

I want the Republicans to win, you want self-defeating read what some people here are saying about that, but I'd absolutely love to see a major headline about election fraud. That would be fantastic.

Thanks for typing out the comment. If your illegal vote is considered a legal vote than I have no clue what you're hoping to prove. Yup, we have ballot boxes in the street, cool.

What you want is voter fraud, as you admitted. This is ironic, as I pointed out.

I want legal proof of voter fraud. We already have proof of it, but the people in power have refused to take action.
