When you no longer have a say in your government...
Well, that can be a big motivator for some people.
NY is making sure their military members have no say.

Please, most American citizens haven't had a real say in their gov't for years now. Granted, you've got the freedom to elect whatever corrupt, incompetent, greedy, rich dude you want, but that's about it. The gov't is no longer by the people, of the people, & sure as fuck ain't for the people. The bloated Jabba the Hutt that the U.S. political system has become serves only to line the pockets of those who run it & to perpetuate that state of affairs.

Peeps in the military have a slightly different relationship and perspective with/of the federal government.

The same one that runs the VA and isn't standing up for denied absentee ballots?

Several Democrat officials in NY caught forging ballots.
They claim "Yeah well Republicans do it, too." Massive right-wing media conglomerates yet to uncover any Republicans cheating, but apparently it happens, according to these guys who just plead guilty.
That sounds like a good way to get admitted to FPYITA prison.

They prove how hard it is to commit voter fraud by throwing the whistle-blower in prison?

It looks like he never actually voted. He never even claimed to be those people, he just asked if they were on the list, gave their address (and never in first person "I"), and was offered a ballot anyway.
If he never took and used a ballot, he didn't break the law.
In response, a Justice Department official says "about the only time we get concrete evidence of voter fraud is when someone pulls a stunt like this."
By the way, a federal official says the man in the video did not commit voter fraud, because he never signed the voter sheet and -- therefore -- never received or cast a fraudulently obtained ballot.
I DO think they should have blurred the election worker's face, because he didn't do anything illegal. He was just a local guy from the precinct, volunteering to work the voting station, and following the law as written. As far as I know.

On a related note, my local, rural little polling place ALWAYS asks for ID before we can vote in any election, be it local, state, or federal.
I wonder what would happen if I declined to provide my ID to the little old ladies with the voting roster.

They are offered more ballots for liberal personages, including Bill Maher.
Results of an ongoing Virginia State Police investigation of voter registration irregularities from the 2008 general election may signal a more significant voter fraud issue than some state lawmakers realized.
...
A majority of those cases already have resulted in convictions, and 26 additional cases are still being actively investigated nearly 3½ years after the state Board of Elections forwarded more than 400 voter and election fraud allegations from 62 cities and counties to Virginia State Police for individual investigation.
...
A total of 194 cases statewide where police determined a violation likely occurred have been closed because the commonwealth's attorneys in those localities declined to prosecute those individuals, police said.
Good thing the voter fraud was confined to Virginia, and democrats in the other states are really honest.

Wikileaks: people pretty high up think the 2008 election was stolen with voter fraud, but nothing was done about it for fear of race riots.
Been dead for years. Not only is it too late to close the barn door, but that fucker burned to the ground years ago and the carbonized wood is beginning to petrify.
