Fraudulent Voter vs. Disenfranchised Voter
Can anyone here tell me the effective difference in your right to vote between you being denied the right to vote and your vote being canceled out by a fraudulent vote?

1. Basically
the end result is the same. Not being able to vote and not having your vote counted gives the same result to the entrenched interests.

3. being denied your right to vote is
coming from the people in power. they are preventing citizens right to vote.

the "my vote didn't count because someone votes twice" is a false argument.

4. it's a false argument because
for it to be large enough to effect the election it would have to be massive. someone has to actually cast that ballot two three, five ten, 50 times. if you vote that much, a poll worker might figure out something's fishy.

5. So. . .are you saying. . .
that it matters not at all if people vote who by law should not be voting?

My original point is the same. BOTH should be eliminated. EVERY eligible voter should be allowed to vote (once). . .and NO ineligible voter should be allowed to vote. In order to have clean elections, BOTH avenues should be pursued.

6. I'm saying that
the way people are persuing stopping people from voting twice, is by putting up barriers and preventing people from voting when they have a right to.
