GOP and Voter Fraud Clailms
Remember not long ago the Republicans, being civic minded like they are, were concerned about voters fraud and wanted everybody to have a picture identification card to prove they are who they say they are on election day?
Isn't that honest and fair of them of trying to do what is right - I mean really RIGHT!
Here are some facts I heard: The thousands of people who are unlikely to have an idenfication card are those who can't afford a car, so need no drivers license. These people are more likely to vote the Democratic ticket.
I think some agency did do research on checking out voters fraud and out of thousands or millions of people they checked, they found 7 frauulent voters.
What the picture identification will mean that thousands of pro-Democratic voters will be de-franchised from voting with only 7 actually frauds.
WAIT! More voter fraud evidence has just been uncovered:

And it was found in the Republicans' own back yard. Har-dee Har har har!

It could be worse than you think. The pretextual "hunt for voter fraud" goes beyond registration purging and poll watchers. In states where poll watchers are more heavily regulated, True the Vote and their affiliates/allies are recruiting and training people to be actual election judges. One organizer went so far as to say "Being an election judge is even better than being a poll watcher as you are actually running the election."
So do you think that driver's license makes your vote safe?
Any liquor store clerk knows how easy it is to get a fake. Do we expect TTV not to be aware of this fact in their training? Does the state provide adequate guidance for election judges in determining whether an ID's picture sufficiently matches the person staning before them? What about the signature matching requirements?
These subjective judgment calls concerning a person's right to vote a regular ballot may end up in the hands of someone trained to be paranoid rather than reasonably vigilant. See http://www.ragingwisdom.com/who-watches-the-poll-watchers-part-ii/ for some of the flaws in Ohio's laws protecting voters on election day, and here
