Famous 2008 Supreme court case - put that sentence into GOOGLE and watch what comes up. "[and] not only is the risk of
voter fraud real but that it could affect the outcome of a close
election."
---no public access, irreparable harm to new candidates and to Mayoral race
---with voter fraud, the current mayor can get his 8 million dollar taxi and 8 million dollar garage, parking kiosks and other anti-citizen pet pork projects
---fractured streets, no transparency,
---Medford High School unsafe for students, unsafe for seniors and women when strangers waltz in with no security check
In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court completely debunked this oft-repeated Democrat meme when it upheld an Indiana voter identification law. The court majority's ruling reads, in part, "Flagrant examples of such fraud ... have been documented throughout this Nation's history by respected historians and journalists"... "[and] not only is the risk of voter fraud real but that it could affect the outcome of a close election."

Voter Fraud Is a Proven Election Manipulation Tactic

And it is the most vulnerable who are far too often the victims of vote
thieves. DeFiglio admitted that the "people who are targeted live in
low-income housing … [T]here is a sense that they are a lot less likely
to ask any questions."
In March 2012, the county sheriff and clerk in Lincoln County, W.Va.,
pled guilty to voter fraud.
They stuffed enough bogus absentee ballots into ballot boxes to change the outcome of a 2010 Democratic primary election. Was this a one-time incident? Probably not, since the Lincoln County auditor was also found guilty of voter fraud in 2005.

EVERETT REP AND VOTER FRAUD
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors will recommend that Stat spend
six months in some Club Fed, instead of the maximum two years he faces
for engaging in what the US criminal code calls the Deprivation of
Rights Under Color of Law and what the rest of us call fixing elections.
Reading
the charges and the plea agreement leads to only two possible
conclusions: Either Stat rolled and pointed the finger at others, or a
two-year investigation by the FBI in which a staggering number of
Everett residents were hauled before a grand jury has ended with a
resounding thud.
Since when does manipulating elections amount to a misdemeanor? Come
to think of it, since when does the FBI bother itself with misdemeanors?
The FBI referred questions to the office of US Attorney Carmen Ortiz, where her spokeswoman Christina Sterling-DiIorio said, “I cannot comment on how we arrive at our charging decisions.”
Indeed, the charges against Stat say “one or more government
officials assisted Smith in tracking the absentee ballots and/or
intercepting those absentee ballots prior to their delivery to the
voters. In those cases, the absentee ballots were cast for the unaware
voters.”
The plea agreement, meanwhile, states that Stat “was an organizer or leader of a criminal activity that involved five or more participants.” Stat not only arranged for his whole family to vote by absentee ballot, he made sure ballots got mailed to the various buildings he owns. By some counts, there were upward of 60 ballots delivered to his properties.
Foresteire shakes his head.
“How can manipulating elections be considered a misdemeanor?” he said.
John
Hanlon asks the same question. Hanlon, the former mayor of Everett,
challenged Stat for the state rep seat in 2010 in one of the three
elections Stat admits to fooling around with absentee ballots.
Hanlon lost by 394 votes in an election in which 778 of the 4,316 ballots cast were absentee. In that race alone, 18 percent of the ballots were absentee, while in other cities and towns 5 percent is typical.
“I’ll never know if I lost fair and square,” Hanlon said.
