Voter fraud

By Mustang Bobby

At the just-concluded CPAC festival, Rand Paul won the straw poll for president in 2016. If history is any guide, it’s not exactly a reliable barometer of what’s going to come to pass: if so, we’d have seen the last presidential election between Barack Obama and Michele Bachmann.

And besides, according to Right Wing Watch, there was active advocacy on the part of the folks at CPAC to commit voter fraud in the straw poll by using fake ID’s and casting multiple votes because “we need to make sure that people understand the conservative message and where we want to take this movement in the future.”

There’s fulsome irony in the fact that it takes cheating and fraud to get the people to understand the conservative movement and where they want to take the movement in the future.
