Law enforcement officials have charged 12 people with using absentee ballots to skew an election in Georgia.
“As a result of their grand jury findings, 12 individuals were indicted in that particular matter and we will be trying that case in a court of judicial law instead of a court of public opinion,” District Attorney Joe Mulholland told the local TV station, WALB.
The charges followed a bitter November 2010 school board election in Brooks County in which the final tally was changed by an unusually large wave of absentee ballots.
During the election, 1,060 absentee votes were cast out of the 1,403 ballots mailed out to people who requested them, according to a July 2010 report by WCTV.
That’s far higher than nearby Thomas County, which had 119 absentee votes cast out of 202 requests, and Lowndes County, which had 169 absentee votes cast out of 439 requests, said WCTV’s report.
The 12 people charged are aligned with the Democratic Party.
News of the arrests followed The Daily Caller’s interview with former Alabama Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, in which he said voter identification laws are needed to counter ballot fraud in local elections.

You idiot.
Voter ID would do nothing about absentee ballots.

That's how the story was posted. Blame the one who wrote it, not me.
Idiot.
But thanks for taking time to comment on the actual focus of the story....oh, wait. You didn't.
Never mind.

Oh, you posted it b/c you DIDN'T agree with it!
Well, glad to see you're edging closer to sanity.
To change society, you have to change your participation in it. Otherwise, all you will get is more of the same.
EVERY SINGLE YEAR BETWEEN 1996 AND 2005 66% OF ALL FCDS CORPORATIONS PAID NO TAXES.
I think the current tax structure is about right for corporations. - Geezer
Without the benefit of the surrounding society, a corporation dies. If society looks at a corporation and says 'work, or die', what work should be demanded of the corporation for it to earn its survival?
While Wall St. is going through the roof, Main St. is paying all the bills.
Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?
Yeah, me neither....

You're clearly insane here.
12 were charged w/ tampering with ballots in an local election. That's a NEWS story. Not an opinion piece.
idiot.

"... voter identification laws are needed to counter ballot fraud in local elections."
And this too is part of the story, but you seem to be totally unaware of it. Oh well. I did point it out in my response. But you seem to be incapable of reading with understanding. Too bad for you.

No, I was fully aware of it when I posted it. In fact, I almost omitted it from the original story, as I didn't see the relevance or connection, until I read the entire line. At the very least, it shows a tie in to the ISSUE of keeping votes secure and fair, for all. That's what I got out of the other story, so I left it in. As did the ones who posted the story in the first place.
You did NOT point that out in your response. You're making shit up, or trying to, to cover your ass, after the fact. But you didn't even TRY to CYA, all you did was just CLAIM you mentioned something, when clearly you did not.

Your cherry picked quote is, again, completely from the original story, and not MY commentary. How could I be unaware of it when I'M the one who left it in there ? Maybe you WANTED to point something relating to this out, in one of your replies, but you never actually put it down in your post. See, one must type out the words with the keyboard, instead of just thinking them,in one's brain.
Again, the original post of this thread was the story, as it was written, w/ out any additional comment or input by me. YOU made an nonsensical comment about me agreeing with it, so that's why I posted it, as if 'agreement' had any relevancy in 12 people being charged for voter fraud.
Yes, I " agree " with them getting caught...I guess. You don't ?

"Voter ID would do nothing about absentee ballots."
This is what I posted. As you can see it is a very short sentence.
Now, if you had read the article with understanding, as you claim you did, and if you understood what I posted, which you apparently didn't, you would have recognized - or at the very least wondered - what I meant by posting about 'voter ID'. But that wasn't true. So, either you didn't read it in the article, you didn't understand it in the article, you didn't read my post, you didn't understand my post, or you didn't wonder what I meant by bringing up 'voter ID'. That is a lot of places you could have caught it, but didn't.
However, the fact that you can't seem to read with understanding is not my problem.
I just want to point out for future reference how MANY times you missed it.
Oh, and at this point I'm done with this. So, you'll have to look elsewhere for whatever passes for conversation with you.

You're the one w/ the reading comprehension issues here, not I.
You STARTED your participation in this thread with the words ' You idiot ' , as if *I* had given my opinion on anything.
I had not. I merely posted a story from the news, of 12 people , all ties to the Democratic party, who were charged with voter fraud.
THAT'S IT. The story was posted, as written, with a link at the end to direct anyone who wished to see the source for themselves.
So, why did you call me an idiot ?
Oh, I get it, you focused on the last , throw away line, from the story, as if I had been the one to say it. Clearly, you CAN'T read, as it was a tie in, an after thought, to the main issue at hand.
" 12 charged with voter fraud "
YOU IDIOT !

Actually, that's not true. The story, as written, did not include the bolded, underlined part that YOU added for emphasis. So you did not just post the story as written, you did indeed editorialize.

YOU call it a throwaway line. And the line you think is the most important one, judging by your editorializing over it, most others think is just a throwaway.
But you really are an idiot if you don't think you offered any opinion in the way you posted the story.
