So you think it's OK to disenfranchise thousands of legal voters in the hope that it will prevent a few illegal votes, EH? How does that NOT have an effect on the results of an election? If large numbers of people are denied the right to vote, how does this not also create situations where the results can't be trusted?

Are you actually aware of what's going on in states like Georgia, Kansas and North Dakota? In all of this cases, there were changes made to the process of voting that would have been considered unlawful or at least would have required pre-clearance if the Supreme Court had not gutted the 1965 voting rights act in 2013.

Re: “ I think it's was reported that something like 32 'invalid' votes were known to have been cast”

At issue is not just whether an election has been thrown, but whether elections can be trusted. If bad votes have been cast - whether they be one vote or one million votes - then the cause MUST be rooted out and fixed. If the votes were intentional, harsh penalties must be employed.

Just a few days ago, someone on clo's forum voiced concern that the President might throw out an election where the House flips to the Democrats. Well? Might he do that? First ask yourself whether it is possible that he'd be right to deem an entire election invalid? Apparently yes, it would be possible, since we've found bad votes in the past and NOTHING was done to solve the problems. So who's to say that throwing out an election isn't an appropriate response to a result that is known to be flawed?

I hope you find this prospect as disturbing as I do. We *MUST* solve the fraud problems in our elections. It's a serious, serious issue even if it involves only a single vote.
