Voter Fraud

Here is the truth :

" Fraud by individual voters is both irrational and extremely rare "

" Republican officials, who have used hysteria about alleged voter fraud as an excuse to support measures that disproportionately block Democratic voters, are furiously trying to distance themselves from a growing number of GOP voter registration drives that either submitted false applications or threw away authentic ones."

" A 2005 report by the American Center for Voting Rights claimed there were more than 100 cases of voter fraud involving 300,000 votes in 2004. A review of the charges turned up only 185 votes that were even potentially fraudulent. "

The Voter-Fraud Myth - The Newyorker magazine

" The analysis of 2,068 reported fraud cases by News21, a Carnegie-Knight investigative-reporting project, found 10 cases of alleged in-person voter impersonation since 2000. "

 "Comprehensive Database of U.S. Voter Fraud Uncovers No Evidence That Photo ID Is Needed "

And this one comes from, If you can believe it, Fox News ......
 " GOP's fictional voter fraud charges aim to keep Democrats from voting "

" ...election-fraud cases since 2000 shows that while fraud has occurred, the rate is infinitesimal, and in-person voter impersonation on Election Day, which prompted 37 state legislatures to enact or consider tough voter ID laws, is virtually non-existent."

OK have you got the picture now ? The republican agenda is to make everyone think that voter fraud is this big problem, when its not, and pass laws to make it harder for people to legally vote. The same ole story ... disenfranchise the poor and minorities and the average joe so they can run things the way they want and set government up so they can make more money and bleed the rest of us dry.
