How about the death penalty for voter fraud?  Too strict?  I dunno… lets ask those who paid a similar price to keep us voting

image thumb3 Bad Idea: Voter Fraud 

John Fund keeps up the good fight against voter fraud:

"It’s almost impossible to detect and once the fraudulent voter leaves the precinct or casts an absentee ballot, that vote is thrown in with other secret ballots there’s no way to trace it."

Registration fraud becomes voter fraud. Registration is the place to fight fraud. We should require strong identification when registering and when voting.  I’d also like a purple finger.

A fraudulent vote is worse than a vote denied due to efforts to ensure accurate identification.  I can’t stop a fraud, but any person truly interested in voting can get identification.

    We can sometimes find a murderer or rapist after 20 years but we can’t find a fraudulently registered voter while candidates spend 21 months campaigning? A good Inquisition by an elected county DA can solve this. A voter’s Photo ID card zipped 30 days before and at the polling place should work. Absentee? Only those with disabilities need apply. Vacation, business trip, et al. too bad, individual voting is a privilege not a natural right.

    I’d let soldiers vote absentee and nobody else.

    Fraud, like illegal immigration, is easily solved. But like immigration, there isn’t the will to do it by Republicans nor a desire by the Democrats.
