No one cares about voter fraud? Please tell GA and TX

The other thing not being mentioned here. Great job USA! We have people trying to break the law and commit voter fraud and we caught them!

 

 

 

You did it!  You finally uncovered the actual voter fraud we know exists!!

 

A 17 year old, likely working for Project Veritas, was told you have to be 18 to vote, and left.  

 

There it is!

 

 

 

In Virginia the law says if you're 17 during the primary but turn 18 by election day you can vote in the primary and then election day.  I'd like to know if this kids birthday is before the end of the year and he just thought he could vote.

Why are you defending a person breaking the law? He was told no once and went to do it again. Can you point me to an exemption in the law if they do it for Project Veritsas.

 

For the party of personal responsibility you don’t seem to think this person should be responsible for his breaking the law.

I expect a lot of hand wringing from the stop the steal crowd about this today.  Hoax.  I don’t.  But if they aren’t whiny deluded hypocrites, they’ll forcefully condemn this kid who loves and is proud of his dad. 
 

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/glenn-youngkins-underage-son-tried-to-vote-in-virginia-governors-election-officials-say/2870695/

The kid should be held accountable for his actions. If it is determined he broke a law, he should face the appropriate punishment.   I am glad they were able to prevent him from voting. 

This doesn't seem to be turning out how you guys hoped it would.  How embarrassing.

He should face whatever consequences others who illegally tried to vote at 17 have faced.  I seriously doubt it's prison time.  Maybe not even community service.  Then again, maybe someone can trump-up the charge to "insurrection."  LOL!

 

And sorry but the real crux of the matter is the need for voter ID.  Every state would be right to have it (see what I did there?).  It's not just a good law when a Repub gets caught.  C3 unwittingly made the case for it, thinking it was just a "gotcha!" moment.

The crux from the OP is we found voter fraud and it’s this specific guy.

 

Looks like a class 1 misdemeanor: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/24.2-1004/

 

Class 1 misdemeanors are the most serious misdemeanors in Virginia. A Class 1 misdemeanor is punishable by up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. 
 

So since he tried doing it twice I don’t see why we don’t go for 12 months in jail and a fine of $2,500.

 

I mean his dad is governor so maybe he will get off easy but as a Republican and personal responsibility you’d hate to see him get a break due to his daddy.

The Washington Post Launches Attack on Glenn Youngkin's Underage Son in Incredibly Hypocritical Move

 

Glenn Youngkin shocked the country on Tuesday as he defeated Terry McAuliffe to become the governor of Virginia, a state that had voted by 10 points for Joe Biden just a year earlier.

 

Clearly, the press has not taken that result well, and we’ve seen some insane reactions. But it’s not just cable news hosts that have thoroughly beclowned themselves. Others have managed to mix in their own bit of hypocrisy and bias while couching it as “news.”

 

 

 

 

What obviously happened here is that Youngkin’s son had voted in the primary election and was under the false impression that he could also vote in the general election under Virginia’s weird age rules. But honestly, the reason he tried to vote is irrelevant. As admitted by the Post, no election laws were violated. Yet, this vindicative election official from deep-blue Fairfax County decided to go give an interview about this anyway, setting up a media attack on an underage boy.

 

And though the head of the elections office in Fairfax County says Youngkin’s son did not violate any election laws, the Post goes on to speculate that the case could be criminally charged, going so far as to contact the local prosecutor. They also try to paint Youngkin as a hypocrite for supporting election integrity, which makes no sense whatsoever. His son made a mistake, was corrected, and left.

 

Here was the Youngkin campaign’s response, which simply notes how insane it is of the Post to publish this in the first place.

 

“It’s unfortunate that while Glenn attempts to unite the Commonwealth around his positive message of better schools, safer streets, a lower cost of living, and more jobs, his political opponents — mad that they suffered historic losses this year — are pitching opposition research on a 17-year old kid who honestly misunderstood Virginia election law and simply asked polling officials if he was eligible to vote; when informed he was not, he went to school,” O’Malley wrote.

 

This entire spectacle is just gross, and it shows the double standards that Republicans have to deal with when it comes to the treatment of their families. Think about the hypocrisy on display here.

 Wrong.  The crux is a naive child attempted to vote but was turned-away because he had to show ID.  Meaning ID laws prevent fraud from happening.  And thus should be in place everywhere.

“The incident was reported in notes from Jennifer Canty, who was identified as the chief of the precinct at the Great Falls Library in Great Falls, Virginia.

Canty wrote in her notes that at 9:30 a.m. on Election Day, a "17 yo voter came in requested ballot" but was "told he had to be 18 yo to vote today." Canty writes that she offered him a voter registration but "he declined."

Canty goes on to write that the "same 17 yo voter... came back to request a ballot" around 10:00 a.m. It was here that Canty writes down Youngkin's name. "Again offered opportunity to register. He declined if he wouldn't be able to vote today," she wrote.“

 

Maybe he doesn’t understand no means no?

Why do you keep ignoring the fact that the guy tried to break the law.

 

Ok so maybe he went the first time and didn’t know he was underage. But after he was told he couldn’t vote, he came back and tried to vote again.

You unwittingly made the case for voter ID, everywhere.  I know that wasn't your intention. 

 

Nope. I acknowledged that states have say in how they conduct their elections.  If, for example, Georgia wants to engage in a modern-day act of Jim Crow legislation that is not inconsistent with the federal constitution, then it may do so.  Whether I agree with that approach is a completely different question. And it does not mean that there is a "case" for voter ID laws everywhere, let alone anywhere.

It’s not even ignorance. He went once and was told he couldn’t vote. Then went again.

You have it backwards.  ID laws--the kind that you like--prevent votes.  This is instance perhaps #32 of attempted voter fraud in a country where hundreds of millions, if not billions, of votes are cast every year.  And where is all of this voter fraud in states without the ID laws you prefer?  Turns out that it doesn't exist. 

Just now, Backintheday544 said:

Maybe he's persistent.  Whatever.  The point is if he thought wrong about whether he was entitled to vote his ignorance of the law does not excuse his actions.

Btw was Gov Elect Youngkin a stop the steal candidate?   
 

 

 

 

I don't disagree that he did not commit fraud.  But it seems like we had an attempt to commit fraud here, do we not?

Ignoring?  We already discussed this.  How "back in the day" are you?

 

But fine, make an example of a 17-year old if it makes you feel better.  I'll take the real victory over the pyrrhic one.

Sure it does and you just (again, unwittingly) made it.  The contention of you and your ilk is that there's no voter fraud because they haven't been able to find it.  I've been telling you that's only because there's no way to find it without checking ID.  Here you present a case of someone trying to commit voter fraud...only to be thwarted by an ID law.  Hiding behind "states' rights" and the "Jim Crow" silliness isn't a valid argument when the issue is thwarting fraud, especially when the plaintiffs in the Georgia case couldn't prove that a single person would be harmed by the laws.

[Big Blitz]

So what happens when people show up thinking they can vote but can't because they aren't on the voter roll? 

 

Is that fraud to?

 

Death penalty?

Give me a break.  How many other people can you identify who have been so thwarted?  And, in States where  there are no such laws,  how many instances of documented voter fraud do we have?  I’m guessing it’s a number fairly close to your IQ.  Low.  So then the question becomes do we need the “fix” that you propose.  The long lines in places like Georgia say no.

They vote by affidavit ballot in New York state.  Then the BOE determines the validity of the ballot.
