      “Unless the system is entirely perfect and without defects we can’t make reasonable concessions to make voting easier.”

        But this is DEMOCRACY on the line!! There is LITERALLY NOTHING ON THE PLANET MORE IMPORTANT (© internet people)!!!

        And if there is ANY doubt about the system, then it absolutely does disenfranchise voters! And that is THE ULTIMATE SIN (© internet people)!!!

        I’m just trying to follow the infallible logic of the internet collective here.

          Man, I was going to address your comment but I took a quick look at your post history and decided it wasn’t worth the effort.

          Please fuck off.

                Oof. Is that all your English major pays these days?

                Should have gone for a STEM degree. I assure you, it pays WAY more than what you are currently making.

                  If it turns me into a stemlord like you I’ll take the pay cut and sleep comfortably knowing things could be much worse. Now, one more time, fuck off to wherever it is you want to fuck off to.

                  That will be $1.95 please.

      @Awesomo85 Rephrase: “As long as we have voting, a little voter fraud is acceptable”. Obviously voter fraud is NOT acceptable, but any system that covers 200 million or so potential voters cannot be completely foolproof. Like security systems, the goal is to have so many different safeguards that the number of violations becomes vanishingly small. The fruitless efforts to find any widespread voter fraud to date indicate that we have been successful.

        And to add, our last couple elections have been the most secure, with the least voter fraud in history.

          It’s only on par with the zero reported voter fraud in Russian elections!

          I’m sorry, but some of us consider the electoral college and gerrymandering voter fraud.
