No legs to this. Limbaugh has 1st amendment rights, even if he is a conservative. All he did was talk.

The voters can be fined for this. Could prevent voters in future voting states to think twice.

Oh please elaborate.

Oh please elaborate.

I doubt it would ever happen but if voter fraud could somehow be proved the voters could be fined and given jail time. Chance of this occurring is approximately .00001%

 

From the article ATTHOMEBOY linked:

Some ballots contain possible evidence of voter fraud, which in Ohio is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

So, you are saying that if I lived in Texas and was a registered Republican and voted for Hillary in the primary even though I have publically stated that I think she's lower than pond scum, that I could be fined for such a dispicable act?

What's interesting is the video at the bottom of the article quotes a message board post bragging about how a guy commented out loud at polling place that he was switching to mess with the democrats. Track down the user name, and who it is registered to and you have a case. Track it to him listening to the pill pusher and you have aiding criminal activity.

if you lived in Ohio, yes. It's voter fraud.

Ah but there is one major flaw in what you state.

I guess the flaw is so obvious, that I don't have to elaborate.

No way they prosecute this. That would be a nightmare for all involved. Its a huge stretch to call it fraud anyway.

There is no way in hell they COULD prosecute this.

Prove your case, man.

There is no way in hell they COULD prosecute this.

The simple fact that is being looked at in the the most recent primaries might be enough to dissuade some voters from doing it in the upcoming ones.

Any voter with half a brain will know that they can't do jacks*** about it.

Hell, *I* publicly said that I was going to vote for Obama even though I'm not a "registered Democrat".

 

BUT, much like exit polls, I could *say publicly* I was going to do something, but how the hell are you ever going to see MY ballot to know how I voted? I pick ANY ballot and no one knows how I *really* voted.

Bulls***. I can and always will do whatever I want when I vote. It's called "open primaries" for a reason.

DING DING DING. We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rove has a major analyst roll with Faux News.

 

 

Very Olbermannesque of you.

Well you and I both know that a large part of the voting populace does not have half a brain.

Don't set me up like that ... it's too damn tempting.

Getting ready for softball season. Starting to lob them early.

DING DING DING. We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well yes, they couldn't possibly prosecute on vote.

 

What they COULD do, but won't and shouldn't, is fine people for changing their registration for fraudlent purpose. For example, someone dumb enough to write "FOR ONE DAY ONLY" on the registration change card could be fined or cited. But again, they won't.

LOL ... Nice response. *salute*

How do you prove that he actually voted for her? Voting records are private, right?

Hell, *I* publicly said that I was going to vote for Obama even though I'm not a "registered Democrat".

In the case where I stated the guy made a post on a message board, he stated he was a Republican (well, insinuated) and then was given a Democratic ballot. Yes there needs to be some more data collected to fully prove, but the intention is pretty obvious.
