As Michael Hicks pointed out on Twitter, there aren’t even 500k immigrants in Indiana.
Apparently this pool of registered voters that Morales and Rokita wants to ‘verify’ includes those who used their social security numbers to register to vote. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t always have my driver’s license within reach. Even when I do, it’s a pain to take out of my wallet. I would MUCH rather just type in my social if given the option between registering to vote with that or a DLN. And I’m sure that many Hoosiers are the same way.
This is just a crazy antic.
you need a photo id
D.D: you do NOT need a photo ID to register. And that’s the point of this entire kerfuffle.
A voter removes the objection when the voter attempts to vote. By presenting a valid ID.
This isn’t a controversy. These two elected officials MADE it a controversy by implying that illegal aliens make up a huge percentage of that total. They don’t.
Almost no illegal immigrants are attempting to register. Please learn up.
This is simply another attempt by the GOP to instill fears and doubts about the validity of our elections giving GOP candidates the opportunity to claim election fraud if they do not win their race. They know they are not going to invalidate any voters on the rolls at this stage, but they create the appearance there are 500k fraudulent voters in Indiana. It makes one wonder if the GOP is concerned about either Trump or Braun winning Indiana.
Trump will win by 15 points.
As far as Braun, Indiana Republicans are flooding mailboxes with negative Rainwater fliers … that’s not the sort of thing you do if you think you’re cruising to victory …
Nope. Will be a Harris landslide victory.
Trump will win in Indiana by 15 points.
Robert has it exactly right.
If you register with the last 4 of your SS number, you’re required to provide your state ID/Passport or any recognized photo ID, when you vote. Hundreds of thousands of folks registered this year, online, using only the last 4 numbers of their SS.
Next up: these two clowns raise holy hell when the Justice Dept. answers: “Sorry, this isn’t an issue.”
This is an unveiled attempt at voter suppression. Scare tactics to the max. Shameful.
This would be a shocking misuse of State and Federal resources, but that’s been Rokita’s M.O. forever.
Vote them out already! Especially Rokita!
Is it really that bad to vote illegally? It only hurts American citizens to allow non-citizens to vote.
Any person with common sense appreciates the need to verify and review lists.
Any person with common sense also appreciates the need to allow ample time to conduct such a review. What were these two men doing that led them to procrastinate so severely on an effort they call “critical”? Voter suppression efforts are despicable. Our forefathers and mothers worked hard, some even giving their lives, for us to have the right to vote. Hopefully Hoosiers use their common sense to recognize this stunt for what it is and they vote in the upcoming election as is their right… and trust the results that their fellow Hoosiers are working diligently to safeguard.
Serious, thoughtful legislators would have started such an effort months ago.
This is Morales and Rokita. Both of whom are woefully out of their depth in their office. Why exactly Republican delegates think they’re the best their party has to offer is beyond me. Their last three choices for office have been Morales, Rokita, and Beckwith. The results make a compelling case for destroying the taxpayer-funded primary system completely… I don’t see how any of them would survive an election based on a jungle primary or ranked choice voting.
Right wing think tank Heritage Foundation, compiled data that found 24 instances in the country of noncitizens voting in the 20 years between 2003 and 2023. About 120,000,000 votes were cast in 2004 and almost 160,000,000 votes were cast in 2020, so you can do the math across the elections over that span of years.
As Republican election lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg wrote, “The truth is that over all those years Republicans found only isolated incidents of fraud. Proof of systematic fraud has become the Loch Ness Monster of the Republican Party. People have spent a lot of time looking for it, but it doesn’t exist.”
These people preying on ignorance for exploitive purposes is despicable.
yep and it didn’t stop al gore and hillary from screaming fraud either. don’t act like this is a republican thing only.
The Al Gore situation was dimpled chads from an old process of voting. It was less about fraud and more about what is the definition of a vote. dimpled chad or hanging chad?
Category difference, DD – works like this – Smart cars and Abrams tanks are both vehicles…
But, thanks for playing!
Republicans investigated all these claims in 2016 and quietly disbanded after not finding anything.
I’m just amazed the lengths that people are going to in order to assuage the ego and mind of an addled old man who can’t stand losing in life despite his considerable experience in losing in the business world… and how anyone can look at Trump talk for ten minutes and not see the mental decline. Biden too old to be President but Trump isn’t? C’mon.
DD, do you always sign on to chats and comment threads, with ridiculous comparisons? Al Gore asked questions about the Florida vote-counting. The Supremes halted the vote re-counting before it was complete. Bush won for that reason. Gore knew a court fight was long-winded and likely counter-productive. He immediately conceded. Something Trump never did. Try harder to be accurate.
So, if nobody finds anything….then what difference does it make? I am not certain how verifying a person is a person is suppression…..do they round them up and torture them….are they audited by the irs…..and what does this federal office do to even verify them. I note, that Rokita or Morales indicated that clerks from around the state had reported an increase in over seas absentee voting registrations….So how many clerks were called to see how many clerks were reporting increases…and how big were the increases, and when did the increases start…and presumably at least some of these who are seeking to register in a particular county, were registered at a permanent address prior to moving abroad….what does a healthy sampling of cross checking those look like?
I’m not certain why anyone believes Republicans when they talk about voter fraud when they couldn’t find any *when they won* in 2016 and they went 0-63 in court cases in 2020.
Trump has claimed voter fraud all three times before the election. Just because he’s repeating himself on a state of delusion doesn’t make it true. At this point, maybe the onus should be on Republicans to actually provide their own evidence?
I mean, Morales himself got caught voting out of his district. Diego should maybe focus on preventing the loopholes he once exploited first… then worry about everyone else.
If I recall correctly, the only recent instances of **actual** vote fraud were by Republicans in North Carolina.
More proof that we should always look at the Trumpist Rs with a wary eye, and assume that they’re actually doing what they accuse their opponents of doing: lying, cheating, and giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
Morales just looks evil. Like a Disney villain. Human caricature.
Give Rokita and Morales a break. They are merely interested in learning whether our dogs and cats are at risk of being eaten by illegal immigrants.
