Further the article never mentions: ID, illegals, undocumented Complaining about fraud via electronic voting machines and ignoring the 20M+ that are potentially voting illegally is quite curious indeed.

Because we've looked into it many times, and it's not a big deal. Trump just silently disbanded the task force looking for undocumented immigrants voting for instance. "I'm undocumented, what am I going to do on a Tuesday? How about skipping work where I already don't get paid a living wage to go to a government building with sone police standing around, and big voter rolls of all citizens in the area. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea."

  The task force couldn't operate because the states most suspected of having this problem would not supply data. One could infer that this means they know they have the problem and are hiding it.

    Did they try to subpoena the information? The Feds have a constitutional right to this information. Or did they just look for the first road block so that they could say "oh we tried to look into it, but we were foiled by those dastardly Democrats"?

      Did they try to subpoena the information? A mere task force lacks subpoena power.

        The Federal Election Commission doesn't. If they setup the task force without those powers, that's also on them.

There’s nothing curious about concentrating on the problems that actually happen.

Rasmussen Poll shows 54% of Democrats support giving illegals right to vote. I don't know why you are going against what the majority of your party openly wants?

    The activity cited in your link is not fraudulent. How many fraudulent votes were cast as a result? What makes you think the Democrats are "my" party?

    “illegals” is a ridiculous and perjorative term. It’s not possible to be an illegal human being. Strange how people who supposedly abhor ‘big government’ and ‘over regulation’ give vast credence to government’s power to permit people to exist within an area or not.

      It’s not possible to be an illegal human being It's about humans doing illegal acts.

        Right. So when a human commits an illegal act, such a a misdemeanor visa overstay, that doesn’t make the person ‘an illegal’ anymore than you become ‘an illegal’ because you habitually speed in your car.

There is no evidence of this being an actual problem despite repeated investigations. Stop spreading misinformation and slandering people.

Wow! It’s an entirely unsupported claim of 20 million now.
