[EL] Voter fraud? What voter fraud!?! Nothing to see here, people. Move along.

[Tova Wang]

I believe people argue that there is very little fraud perpetrated by voters at the polling place.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't these cases mostly involve absentee ballots and the actions of an election official?  In the one case where a voter says it appeared that someone else had voted in her name, I would say to stand by to see if there is a clerical error, as is often the case.

This is not directed at Rick, who has candidly acknowledged that voter fraud does, sometimes, happen.  But there are others who say that "voter fraud" is nothing but an invention of those who want to suppress voters by requiring photo ID.  Worse, some say that it is an invention to keep minorities from voting.  Well, for all who say that voter fraud never, ever, happens, here's another example of that "non-existent" phenomenon. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/340174/voter-fraud-never-happens-keeps-coming-back-john-fund
