Look for election fraud and voter suppression to be an overriding theme in this year’s Presidential election, even if it’s underreported in the mainstream media. Nearly six months before the election, we are already seeing local and statewide efforts to purge the voter rolls of Democratic voters.

In an effort to clear the voter rolls of “non-citizens,” Florida’s Governor, Rick Scott is targeting Hispanic, Democratic and independent-minded voters by sending them notices informing that without proof of citizenship, they will not be eligible to vote.

Who...someone...anyone...is demanding to see three or four or five examples of widespread voter fraud?

There is very little evidence of voter fraud but lots of evidence of election fraud. So, of course, the RepublCON Party goes after voter fraud and doesn't say a thing about election fraud. They know that it matters far more who and how votes are counted than who votes.
