"You folks are the ones making the contention that there's no way illegals vote. You've seen one."

LOL

Your failure at intellectual consistency is hilarious.

Almost every liberal, moderate, independent, non-cultist here recognizes that there are individual cases of voter fraud. Some elderly man fills out a ballot for his recently deceased wife. Somebody votes in two different areas due to having two addresses. Sure, some illegal alien somewhere found a way to get his ballot counted. Everyone with more common sense than a household pet understands that in a nation of 350 million people free to move about that there are going to be instances where mistakes are made. There will always be little mistakes made in the voting process. However:

1. The mistakes are miniscule. A very small fraction of a percent of votes are found to be cast illegally.
2. The fraud is so small that it doesn't affect elections. Especially national and statewide elections.
3. People engaging in the fraud are regularly caught. Cultists believe that it is so easy to illegally vote that tons of people do it, but it is not as easy as they think. They fail to realize there are all sorts of post voting checks and audits that catch much of this. That old man who submitted his recently dead wife's ballot is going to be caught when the SSA lets the Sec. State office know the wife is dead and when she died.
4. The risk/reward of illegally voting in an election is simply not there. A couple of votes is not going change the result of an election and the risk of getting caught is huge fines and jailtime. Not worth it.
5. The risk/reward is even more imbalanced for people in the country illegally. People in the country illegally avoid contact with the government whenever possible. There is no upside for an illegal to vote and all downside.

So, when all of the liberal, moderate, independent, non-cultist here on this board say that voter fraud is not a real thing. It is clear to everyone able to comprehend at higher than an 8th grade level that they mean that there is no meaningful voter fraud widespread enough to affect elections at all.

So congratulations, you found one illegal alien who voted. That fits in with the narrative of all of the liberal, moderate, independent, non-cultists here think that voter fraud is not meaningful and did not change an election result better than it fits in with Donald Trump's (and his cultists) narrative that thousands of illegals are voting and changing the results of elections.

And that is what brings us to your intellectual consistency problem.

People here show you study after study showing elections are secure and fair, court case after court case of your claims being wrong and you don't believe it, yet when one of your cult leaders posts on a random nutter website bout election fraud you swallow it hook line and sinker?

Do you realize that anyone can say they are a French model on the internet and claim whatever they want? Yet in court you have to bring proof. Your cult constantly fails where proof is concerned but you still accept their random nutty internet postings as true. You demand (and ignore) more proof from everyone else than your cult leaders. That is intellectually inconsistent.

"I leave it up to you to find more. Let us know how many more you come up with."

Right. You are having a hard time coming up with more because they are so rare as your opponents said they are, so you are now going to put the ball in their court to prove your claims. Do you really think that is going to help with your credibility problem?
