Craigslist Founder Newmark Internet Pioneer Releases Voter Fraud and Suppression Info-Graphic

Democracy, elections, and voting at Democracy Chronicles

There is a great story and graphic that I found at Project Vote, a very professional and well updated election reform website. The Project Vote Blog is a great way to stay up to date with the latest news on voter ballot access in particular. Here they link to a fabulous graphic make by Craig Newmark, creator of Craigslist, detailing among other things the rarity of voter fraud and the real danger of voter suppression. Enjoy!

Think you have the right to vote? Not so much. Check out these great graphics at craigconnects that tell a compelling visual story about the voter suppression laws. He shows us what it looks like to be hit by lightening, which is much more prevalent that in-person vote fraud. Yet, time after time, voter suppression laws are promoted as anti-fraud measures. It doesn’t add up and Craig shows why.

Here is the link to the original Project Vote article:

    Craigslist has made tens of millions of dollars off sex ads, which have facilitated child sex trafficking, and part of that money is in Democratic campaign coffers.

    President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.) and Sen. Al Franken (D.-Minn.) are among the politicians who have accepted the $83,800 in donations that Craigslist founder Craig Newmark donated to Democrats.

    Dateline should send their pedohunter after these people.

      That is a very good point. I think Craigslist does have an issue with this problem. It is an interesting subject.
