Title: Are you okay with voter fraud - IF the candidate you support wins?
Post by: 240 is Back on October 28, 2012, 05:42:55 PM
There is inevitably some shady stuff that goes on with all sides in every election, at the lower levels. 

But suppose one candidate straight up cheated and stole 1-2 states to win the election.  Are you okay with it, as long as you support that candidate?  (IE: Win at ANY COST)

or, would you rather have the candidate you hate win - keeping the democratic process intact?

its a serious Q lol... I saw someone mention it today, and remember that in 2000, I was a huge Gore hater, and gloated with my "Sore Loserman" stickers - I know he didn't get those votes counted, and I was okay with it - cause I figured he'd destroy America.  Looking back, I was kind of a douche for that.  Same with OH in 2004, I didn't care about that shadiness - cause Kerry sucks too.   On the other hand, now when I look at it, I wonder about the effects on the democratic process.  Once we condone open cheating, then it's just "Which candidate can offer the ballot machine company the biggest $ check"?   

tough call here.... The future of the country vs. integrity of our voting process.  Which is more important?

It would be a serious question if one had any sort of impact on the other.

Thanks for being a big enough man to admit you were wrong.

240, Fatherhood has really changed you, ...for the better I think.  :)

Of course voter fraud exists.   Left denies it because the restrictions limit the very poor from voting.  Repubs love it, because it's a lot more likely the people denied the right to vote due to paperwork sure ain't republicans.  Truth lies in the middle.  Left denies it completely, repubs acting like the world is ending because of it.

I think it's a good question, do you believe the opposing candidate is so wrong for the overall good of the country that you ate willing to cheat to prevent him from getting elected?

That is supposed to be the purpose of the electoral college.
