This is just my reply to the current freak out by the right over something that is of such infinitesimal import.
The nation has 2,068 cases of alleged election fraud since 2000. By category, Unknown had the highest percentage of accused at 31 percent (645 cases), followed by Voters at 31 percent (633 cases). The most prevalent fraud was Absentee Ballot Fraud at 24 percent (491 cases). The status of most cases was Pleaded at 27 percent (558 cases). Responses to requests for public records varied from state to state. Some state and local officials were quick to respond by sending available records; others failed to provide a single document.
The only reason voter fraud is of an issue is purely political and that reason is to suppress votes for one party alone.
The new voter ID laws are anti-democratic and in themselves a type of fraud.
Fraud
1. A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain.
2. One who assumes a false pose; an impostor.
So basically saying despite all evidence to the contrary that voter fraud is a problem; is a fraud in itself.
Fraud is a crime
Fraud means an intentional deception or misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge that the deception could result in some unauthorized benefit to himself or some other person. It includes any act that constitutes fraud under applicable Federal or State law.
Just a thought.
