Attempting to vote after filing a fradulent registration is a crime. As the billboard above points out. Why people don't do it. They don't want to get caught and go to prison. Although attempting to convince people not to commit voter fraud is not the point of these billboards.
What is the real purpose of such billboards? The purpose is to intimidate people legally entitled to vote not to. By convincing them they could be falsely accused and get in trouble. Even if they don't end up wrongly convicted and sent to prison, defending themselves in court against such charges would be very expensive. Also time consuming. People going to court to defend themselves against bogus charges could lose their jobs.
People of hispanic descent could be accused simply for being brown. Even if they were born in the United States. And their parents and grandparents were born in the United States. The people putting up such billboards know voter fraud is extremely rare. They know that more people who are legally entitled to vote will decide not to, fearing being wrongly accused and having to deal with the consequences of a false allegation. It's not worth it, so why risk it?
Perplexity Debunking of the claim that phony voter registrations are proof that voter fraud is occurring on a massive scale...
Based on the search results, here's what we know about fake registrations and actual fraudulent votes... Translation Rate: While exact numbers aren't provided in the search results, election officials consistently note that fraudulent registrations rarely translate into actual fraudulent votes. Former PA Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar emphasized that fake registrations don't translate into a higher risk of improper voting. Multiple Safeguards: Election workers confirm voter's identity and address. Mail is sent to addresses listed on registration forms New voters must provide ID. Signatures are checked against poll books. These safeguards typically catch attempts at fraudulent voting. Motivations for Fake Registrations... Financial incentives: People paid per registration form submitted (as with ACORN). In the ACORN case, workers submitted fake forms to meet quotas when threatened with office closure. Recent Lancaster County case involves paid canvassers as part of a "large-scale canvassing initiative". Political Impact: These incidents often become fodder for misinformation. Trump and others have mischaracterized registration investigations as evidence of votes or ballots being fraudulent. Some suggest these incidents are deliberately used to sow distrust in the electoral system. Consequences: Forging voter registration applications is a third-degree felony. Can result in up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine. Can lead to loss of voting privileges for 10 years. |
Perplexity concludes that "the primary impact of fraudulent registrations appears to be increased workload for election officials rather than actual fraudulent votes, as multiple verification systems catch most attempts at converting fake registrations into votes".
Exactly. Voter Registrations do not translate to fraudlent voter attempts. People who file phony voter registrations are caught and punished. If any phony registrations get through and people attempt to vote using those illegit registrations? They get caught and face serious legal consequenes.
This explains why voter fraud is statistically insignificant. The vast majority of morons who try to file fake registrations are caught. Or the registrations they turn in are detected and "Mickey Mouse" isn't registered to vote. If one does get though (or if someone tries to vote using their deceased relative's ID) those people are caught. And face the serious consequences. Their votes are not counted @@
Voter fraud occurs but it is statistically insignificant. I can state with 100 perent certainty that Kamala Harris will not win as a result of a massive voter fraud effort carried out by the Democrats. While d0n0ld tRump could steal the election via republican voter disinfranchisement and intimidation (like the billboard at the top of this post).
What we should be concerned about is rightturd misinformation. The lies about Kamala Harris "pretending" to be Black is but one example of such disinformation. Janet Jackson was fooled bigly. Obviously the goal with this lie is to convince Black people to either vote for tRump... or not vote at all. "We can't vote for Harris because she isn't one of us".
btw, the attempt by the right to steal the election won't stop after all the votes are counted. As they did at the conclusion of the 2020 election in which Joe Biden was declared the legitimate victor, there very likely will be court challenges, an attempt to throw the election to the House and other dirty tricks. Such as having the corrupt scotus judges decide the election and anoint tRump (like they did when they anointed gwb and stole the presidency from the real winner, Al Gore).
And, if/when those fail there could be more trumper violence. Like on Jan 6 2021. Possibly worse. A probablility that the Biden administration should be preparing for. I assume they are and they won't be caught off guard on January 6 2025. Or immediately following d0n0ld being declared the loser.
Remember, however, that it was d0n0ld who was in control on Jan 6 2021, so the National Guard not being deployed in anticipation of violence at the Capitol was on purpose. Despite lies from d0n0ld that he offered troops to Nancy Pelosi and she declined them.
The bottom line? Registrations aren't votes. Phony registrations are not proof that voter fraud is occurring. Because the vast majority are caught and nobody tries to vote illegally using a fradulently filed voter registration. Because they aren't filed. They are detected and rejected. And the person filing the fake registration is then prosecuted.
So far, 17% of the 2,500 suspicious voter registration applications have been deemed fraudulent.... that's only Lancaster County, PA.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you think the arrests will be made?
It seems a lot of people could be in big trouble for attempting to fraudulently cast multiple votes for d0n0ld tRump. I hope they catch them and set an example.
