Definition of CONSPIRACY THEORY: a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators.
Of all the myths swirling around American politics today, none can be more damaging to the very existance of democracy than the pervasive belief among conservatives that swarms of people are voting illegally in every election. They know it deep in their bones that undesirables cast ballots against the conservative movement and the republican party. These wily illegal aliens or criminals or Democratic operatives somehow manage to vote without legal status or cast multiple ballots in multiple districts under the nose of election officials and the befuddled police in conservative imaginations.
The Brennen Center for Justice concluded that voter fraud, ineligable people casting ballots illegally, is so rare as to be statistically nonexistant. Their summary stated:
* Fraud by individual voters is both irrational and extremely rare.
* Many vivid anecdotes of purported voter fraud have been proven false or do not demonstrate fraud.
* Voter fraud is often conflated with other forms of election misconduct.
* Raising the unsubstantiated specter of mass voter fraud suits a particular policy agenda.
* Claims of voter fraud should be carefully tested before they become the basis for action.
Obviously, they are making it up. We just know it.
See?
I just pulled these couple of pictures off the internet to show the intense hatred of democracy on the right. There cannot be any legitimate reason in the right-wing circle jerk to vote for the President, after all the world began on 20Jan09 right? So all the problems in America were caused by Barack Obama and those nefarious liberals.
So, for your own good, we the good conservative politicians and activists must protect you from the temptation to vote for the black guy who screwed everything up.
To be continued...
