The “Statistics” Obama Uses in Voter Fraud Argument Are a Joke

The President gave a speech at the White House, marking the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act in which he informed people that requiring photo ID to vote is wrong because voter fraud barely happens in this country.

Obama drew this conclusion from the cherry-picked data telling how many times the government actually prosecuted people for this crime. Considering how this administration refuses to pursue these cases in most instances immediately makes these statistics suspect.

At the state levels, we’ve got some outstanding members of state legislatures–California, Florida–who have been championing mechanisms to get more people voting: Early voting, online registration.

But sadly, too many states are making it harder for folks to vote–instituting photo ID laws that on the surface sound good. If you poll the average American, they’ll say, yes, you should have to show your photo ID.

But, in practice, it turns out that for seniors and for poorer folks, that’s not always easy to do. And by the way, it doesn’t actually address a real problem because there are almost no instances of people going to vote in somebody else’s name. It’s just not a–it turns out it’s just not a common crime.

Do you think it’s right that you have to show ID to do pretty much anything in this country, except vote?
