#1 California, Oregon, and Washington will never investigate Voter Fraud if left to their own devices. They have to protect their phoney-baloney jobs at all costs.

#2 If it's a matter best left to the states, then the federal government ought to get out of the way.

#3 You can't be a crazy fool if you quote Blazing Saddles.
To me, you are perfectly sane.

#5 Until 2013 the Federal Government was in de-facto charge of elections in southern, which were predominately Democrat, states. In June 2013, in a ~~huge blow to democracy~~ perfectly rational decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the coverage formula used for Section 5 of the VRA, which required jurisdictions with significant histories of voter discrimination to “pre-clear” any new voting practices or procedures, i.e., get federal approval from the Department of Justice, and show that they do not have a discriminatory purpose or effect.
Importantly, however, the 5-4 decision did not strike down Section 5 itself, leaving it to Congress to devise a new coverage formula. The ACLU is working with Congress to do just that.

#6 A perfect example of the "Inner Party" mentality.

#7 No Money? Where did Obama find the millions/billions to bless the UN, Paleos, et al?

"there's no evidence that occurred in such a significant number that it would have changed the presidential election."

Oh, what about Senate (re:MN) and house races old man?

"there's no evidence that occurred in such a significant number that it would have changed the presidential election."

"If they don't look, they can't find what we deny exists, so we'll prevent them from looking..."

#10 He's gonna leave it the Gov. Moonbeam to tighten the voter rolls in California? The man is a fool.

#11 More likely the esteemed Senator from Kentucky is concerned that it might also extend into his home state.

#12 The thing is, even if it didn't change the Presidential election it might very well have changed a number of Congressional districts and should be investigated.
