Clay,
Thank you for making my point that voter fraud is inconsequential.
From your link:
"
In all, the analysis showed 119 dead people have voted a total of 229 times in Chicago in the last decade.
Jim Allen, a city election board spokesman, says a majority of those dead voters were most likely clerical errors, involving family members with the same names and addresses."
So, if the majority of those 229 votes were clerical errors, that leaves no more than 114 possible fraudulent votes
over a decade. a decade that included three presidential elections, probably five senate and congressional elections, plus all the local stuff.
Chicago has about 1.5 million active registered voters.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... story.html If they voted in five elections at a conservative turnout of 50%, then there were something like 3.75 million votes cast in Chicago over the past ten years, of which
maybe 114 are phonies. That doesn't sound like a big problem, I'm sure the honest vote counts had more error than that. Besides, there's no way of knowing who those fraud votes were for, they could have been an even split or gone Republican, you just assume otherwise.
