California to DENY Voter/Election Records to Trump's Election Fraud Commission
-
Uber policeman??? He's the HEAD of the EXECUTIVE branch of GOVERNMENT! His most vital role is to EXECUTE and ENFORCE the LAW. What is this nonsense that "he cannot do anything by Executive Order???" Are you really saying that you admit their is all this fraud going on and he can't do anything about it??? He already HAS done something about it. He has made it a HUGE issue that everyone is talking about and considering, as the leader of the free world. We all know there is fraud, and the one's in charge of local government are the ones doing it. Of course they are against him, because they used vote fraud to put THEMSELVES in power.

I am not going to argue with your ignorance of how our government works. He is the Chief Executive of the Federal Government. That does not give him the power to change state laws or even enforce state laws. For example, he could not sign an Executive Order that raises the minimum driving age to 25, because states grant driving licenses. I am not admitting any significant problem with illegal voting, I am just pointing out that the commission is investigating a problem that they have no power to remedy even IF they find one.
-
Ok, so voting is a states' rights issue, so what is to stop them from allowing illegals to vote?
Many states already pander to illegals by giving them driver's licences and countless other rights.
-
Nah, he DID do something about it. He EXPOSED it. That makes him pretty awesome. Now they feel the pressure and voters will use their checks and balances to vote in people who do something about it. You are just plain wrong on so many levels, it's astounding.

There is a good summary of Voting law here: https://www.usa.gov/voting-laws
I am not a lawyer, but I don't think the federal government can interfere, since Article I of the Constitution gave states the responsibility for overseeing federal elections. Any fundamental change would require at the very least an act of congress, but more probably a constitutional amendment.Think of it this way–the president cannot insist that all states strictly enforce speeding laws, even though that probably would save thousands of lives a year.

He exposed nothing. Trump got the idea from Alex Jones and InfoWars. He simply has used the presidency to create a presidential commission to look into it. He isn't fooling anyone except his die-hard supporters. That is why there is such wide-spread push-back against it.
-
You were the one asking what he was going to do about it… Then when you forgot that he actually did something about it by creating the commission, you claimed more nonsense. You just don't pay attention. You are stuck on old and fabricated news that has been debunked. You keep making statements that show you aren't aware of what's going on. The wide-spread push-back is because the one's who are hiding things don't want to be punished. Period. There is no other explanation.

Reagan did with the drinking age. He said that any state that didn't raise the age to 21 wouldn't get Transport funding.
Similar thing with the 55mph speed limit.

According to that, it's federal law that prevents non citizens from voting in federal elections.
The President is the top enforcer of federal law.
State, county and local elections are up to them, not the federal government.
San Francisco, for example, will allow anyone over 18 and meeting residency requirements to vote in the school board elections from 2018.
If you scroll down the page, California has an extremely worrying way of allowing non citizens to vote in federal elections, violating federal voting laws.
I personally know someone here in the UK who, despite the truth, signed a similar thing to be allowed to vote in UK/EU elections.
I'm a dual national so I can legally vote in in the US/UK/EU.
Voter fraud isn't hard to do since Voter ID and proof of citizenship is deemed racist.

Under Obama, liberals said it was the federal government's job to control (or NOT as in this case) who gets to vote in federal elections.
Under Trump, liberals scream "states' rights".

The main point that seems to be lost in these distracting points from the main point of the post: if they don't want to cooperate and just help the federal government make it easy and find out if there's vote fraud… there's vote fraud for sure. Who can really deny it? All I've heard is you guys sitting here making excuses as to why it shouldn't be a national issue. It is a national issue, and Trump's administration has exposed it and will continue doing so. If you don't want your voting records investigated, you have something to hide.

mhorndisk, you've demonstrated an impressive inability or unwillingness to grasp pppucci's repeated explanations, or if you prefer, study the reputable outside sources cited, that describe our three branches of government and their powers, in respect to voting and elections. For this reason alone, your follow-up postings are just unfocused complaints and completely useless.
-
What?! You just can't accept that by hiding basic info that they already have access to was just a carrot on a stick to get them to dig themselves deeper into a hole.
You really think that Trump didn't dupe you into admitting guilt? Wow. Man you guys have so much to learn. He got them to admit they were engaged in fraud, just by pressing a button. It's so pathetic!
I mean seriously! All he did was Tweet, and now they are all scrambling like HELL NO! You won't DARE look at our voting records! We have NOTHING to hide! LOL. That's beyond absurd.
Trump can make those claims, that your state is engaged in fraud, because he KNOWS. Now he has gotten them to ADMIT it "unwittingly," AND without having to come out and actually ACCUSE them outright.
He got them to ADMIT it openly without having to be the bad guy. It's GENIUS!!!

I was unaware of the 1996 federal law. However, the scope of the commission appears to be broader than that. The Vice-President, who chairs the commission " reiterated President Trump’s charge to the commission with producing a set of recommendations to increase the American people's confidence in the integrity of our election systems."
That vague charge allows it to get involved in issues far removed from illegal aliens voting in federal election. That is why its request for complete data from the states is so objectionable. As I said before in this thread, if the federal government were to provide the states with the SSN they know are being used by illegals to get jobs and ask them to cross-check their rolls would be perfectly reasonable. But this fishing expedition, with little data to justify it, is dangerous.
-
Aww, dude! Just give them the information so the state's people can rest. It's ridiculous.
-
It's fucking ridiculous that you guys are gonna be like, my voting record is private. NOTHING is private anymore! :afr: They already know, just giving you the opportunity to redeem yourself!
-
How I vote is private, but the fact that I voted is not. I see no problem with the government seeing my voting record.
My guess is that states refusing to cooperate are doing so because they are afraid it will show they are failures at preventing illegal voting.
I won't be surprised that in San Francisco we have an all illegal alien School Board in a few years.
