Freeper encourages vote fraud (more Freeper Madness)

Americans from all corners of the political spectrum have invited like-minded citizens to move to their communities. Usually these solicitations are within the law, as they don't encourage participants to vote more than once.

But now some brainiac on right-wing online hatefest Free Republic is borrowing a track from the Ann Coulter playlist by encouraging other readers to commit vote fraud outright by voting in the wrong states. Not only that, but this poster condoned casting multiple votes.

The Freeper's rant reads in part:

"... I suggest that we all get 'smart' and start registering in several states. Select primarily 'blue' states ...

"Then vote two to three times in 2012. Don't feel bad about it ...

"Worried about jail time? Ask who gets convicted. There just aren't that many that go to jail ..."

This is as bad as that obsessed galoot on the Internet a few years back who boasted publicly about sending money to employees of my local courthouse in the hopes of winning a favorable ruling in a potential lawsuit.

It's bad enough to break vote fraud or bribery laws, but bragging about it in plain sight is thoroughly obnoxious.

Free Republic has a history of being associated with illegal activity, so authorities probably already know about the latest meltdown there and will keep an eye on any strange election results. I believe it was in 2004 that a Freeper boasted about intimidating another voter at the polling place until that voter left. You do realize there are laws against voter intimidation, don't you?
