Illegal alien voted in multiple presidential elections

Here's another one.

"A Lehigh Valley man faces possible prison time after a federal jury convicted him of election fraud offenses on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors said 32-year-old Matthew Laiss, who now lives in Bethlehem, voted twice for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, doing so in two different states.

Court filings show Laiss voted via a mail-in ballot using the Ottsville, Bucks County home where his parents lived.

He did so after moving his primary residence to Florida, where he also went to a polling location to cast a ballot."

There was no election in 2020, Kristie. It faulted due to DEMOCRAT election fraud.
 
We have no sure way of knowing that. What you offer is simply a McNamara fallacy. So, called because it only accounts for what is measurable and known discounting or ignoring all else.
Excellent call. They probably don't even know what a McNamara fallacy IS.

Democrats are STILL trying to make their election fraud disappear. They are STILL trying to say that voter fraud itself doesn't affect voter fraud, or even that it should be allowed.
 
You must think that voter ID would bring illegal voting down to zero, when it's already negligible.
McNamara fallacy. Argument from randU fallacy. Trivialization fallacy.

Illegal voting in the U.S. is extremely rare, with estimates suggesting it occurs at a rate of about 0.000003 cases for every vote cast. This means the percentage of illegal voting is negligible compared to the total number of votes.

Same fallacies.

It won't work, Kristie.
 
You must think showing an ID when you vote is onerous . It is not. I do it every time I vote. Takes less than 30 seconds. If you don't really look for voter fraud you aren't likely to find voter fraud.

:truestory:
So voter suppression is good. The fact is, we have a lot of checks in our system. When you registered, you had to show ID and the election commission is charged with checking your qualifications. You should volunteer to work in an election or 2. Then you could really learn something.
 
You use terms you don't really comprehend.
Lie. He has already shown a very understanding of it, in terms of voter fraud.
We can guess pretty that sure we are close to 100.
Argument from randU fallacy. McNamara fallacy. Trivialization fallacy.
Illieracy: Use of plural for singular. Omniscience fallacy.
You are not able to make a case for stricter levels.
He already did, Sybil.
But... if you can, your duty is to do so, rather than "the no sure way of knowing that" argument.
A valid argument, Sybil.
The McNamara Fallacy is when someone only considers what can be measured and dismisses what cannot be measured — even when the unmeasured factors are important.
Redefinition fallacy. That is NOT a McNamara fallacy. You are describing an argument of the stone fallacy...one of your favorites.
The classic example: Robert McNamara measuring body counts in Vietnam and assuming that meant the U.S. was winning.

But in the statement you showed, the person is not identifying that pattern — they’re just asserting it.
Which is what you are doing.
This happens when someone slaps a fallacy label onto an argument without demonstrating that the fallacy actually applies.
Denying your fallacies doesn't make them go away, Sybil.
It’s a rhetorical shortcut:
  • No explanation
  • No evidence
  • No demonstration of the four steps of the McNamara fallacy
  • Just the label
This is also called:
  • Bare assertion fallacy
  • Fallacy fallacy (claiming something is wrong because it contains a fallacy label)
  • Ipse dixit (“it is so because I say so”)
The McNamara fallacy would apply only if someone said:
Redefinition fallacies. Denial of logic.
But most Voter ID arguments are about:
  • access
  • burden
  • disenfranchisement
  • administrative cost
  • constitutional principles
Those are not measurable-only arguments.So invoking McNamara here is misapplied.
Lies. You can't make your fallacies just disappear, Sybil.

The speaker is using the name of a fallacy as a rhetorical weapon rather than actually showing the reasoning error.

Lie. He is showing your reasoning errors.
Yes — there is a fallacy. The person is incorrectly invoking the McNamara fallacy and is instead committing a bare assertion fallacy (and arguably a fallacy fallacy) by claiming the argument is invalid simply because they labeled it with a fallacy name.
Fallacy fallacies. Redefinition fallacies. Reasoning errors invalidate the reasoning, Sybil.
 
We have caught far more magat voters, including ones who run the local election administration voting illegally for dead relatives, etc.
Buzzword fallacy. You are describing mostly Democrats.
For every one of those we have caught there 10,000 we did not catch.
Argument from randU fallacy.
So we should just ban magats from voting.
So you advocate banning Democrats from voting.
