Here is the latest proof that there is no such thing as voter fraud – via excerpts from Blair Miller’s article for Denver’s ABC affiliate:
At least two Colorado county clerks say they’ve seen a large increase in the number of people who have withdrawn their state voter registration since Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams said he would send the Trump administration’s election integrity commission some voter-roll information in accordance with state law.
Alton Dillard, a spokesperson for the Denver Elections Division, said 180 people have withdrawn their registration in the county since July 3. When compared to the eight people who withdrew their registration from June 26-29, it marks a 2,150 percent increase, according to Dillard.
Haley McKean, a spokeswoman with the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorders Office said at least 160 people had withdrawn their registrations since July 1. She added that “dozens” of others had made their voter registration confidential.
The Adams County Clerk’s Office said “about 30 to 40” people were withdrawing their registrations each day over the past week. The Douglas County Clerk’s Office says it hasn’t had anyone withdraw their registration, however.
Though some local elections officials have cautioned people against withdrawing their registration to vote over worries about what the state is sending the commission, telling them to instead register as a confidential voter, withdrawing is an option.
I love that last paragraph. Now that someone might be checking to see whether voters are or are not legal there is a huge increase in people withdrawing their registrations. And the first thing Blair Miller (and huffingtonpost.com’s Sam Levine and, no doubt, many others) thinks of as a reason is that they don’t want information they have already given to a state government agency to go to another, federal, one.
Hey guys, here’s a thought. Maybe a couple – or a few – or a lot – or most – of these suddenly unregistered voters should never have been voters in the first place. Maybe that’s why they are unregistering.
But, then again, no. That can’t be. I mean we all know there’s no such thing as voter fraud, right?
Uh………right?
Oh, one last thing: last August, Gallup polled the country on voter registration issues, one of which was a Voter ID requirement. Here is the result:
Requiring all voters to provide photo identification at their voting place in order to vote
Favor: 80%
Oppose: 19%
I guess the public isn’t quite as sure of that “no voter fraud” thingie as our media are….
