78. 3 or 4 cases of people showing up to vote and finding out that someone
already had is just a GOP red herring. That is not even a remotely practical form of election fraud. The GOP thinks big, that's why they use tabulation fraud and suppression, suppression, suppression. That is why they are against motor voter registration. Moss vs. Bush does not allege 136,000 votes switched from Kerry to Bush by 136,000 people going to the polls and pretending to be someone they are not.

Increase turn out among low income people and minorities and the dems win and the GOP knows that. This is about suppression and creating barriers. All 88 counties in Ohio got caught giving incorrect information to callers posing as former felons asking about their voting rights in Ohio. A lawsuit was dropped when the state said it would notify all former felons in Ohio about their right to vote by mail, but then AG Jim Petro reneged. Even if those letters had gone out, most would not have been deliverable since the poor who are more likely to have a felony record move a lot.
