Statistically Speaking, ALL VOTER FRAUD Is Perpetrated By Gerrymandering


Brilliant Webage Devoted To Gerrymandering


"In gerrymandered election districts, the voters don't choose their politicians - the politicians choose their voters!"

Alan: Yes, individual voter fraud does exists.

It occurs with the same statistical probability of an American being struck by lightning.

Twice.

At bedrock, the conservative passion for "Perfectly Pure Principles" is a justification for disenfranchising "The Innocent Many" while seeming to pursue "The Guilty Few."

Here is how "passion for perfection" makes things worse than a prudent amount of indulgence.

"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice.  The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization.  We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal.  Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good.  The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.”  
"Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander,” by Trappist monk, Father Thomas Merton
