The redistricting game is played by both sides, it's only an issue now for Democrats because the Republicans are in charge of it in so many states. What is this, some kind of accident?

According to the article it's a single person and involves 108 registrations.

Yep, that's the kind of voter fraud I'm familiar with.

About 15 years ago, I worked for an employer hired by a judicial candidate in Detroit to challenge the nominating signatures of a competing candidate.

We found that a large proportion of the signatures were fraudulent, and gathered by two circulators who, of course, were paid on the basis of how many signatures they turned in.

Voter fraud on all levels is plain wrong. If a candidate cannot win fair and square, they should not win at all. Condoning it is wrong also.

Democrats have been doing this for quite a while, and we all know it, what do they say fight fire with fire, still wrong.

You expected a harsh response BEFORE they were caught?

How would that work, exactly?

Default GOP Voter Registeration Fraud

Are they so desparate they have to cheat?

RNC cuts ties with firm over voter fraud allegations

RNC cuts ties with firm over voter fraud allegations - First Read

Election officials in six Florida counties are investigating what appears to be "hundreds” of cases of suspected voter fraud by a GOP consulting firm that has been paid nearly $3 million by the Republican National Committee to register Republican voters in five key battleground states, state officials tell NBC.
But the veteran GOP consultant, Nathan Sproul, who runs the firm, strongly defended his company's conduct, saying it has rigorous "quality controls" and blamed the alleged fraud on the actions of a few "bad apples," workers who were hired to register Republican voters for $12 an hour and then tried to "cheat the system."

It amazes me that GOP accuses Dems for voter registration fraud, and waste millions FL taxpayer money investigating Dems in FL, and find only two individuals, but when someone looks at GOP, they find hundreds of fraud cases at the first glance.

That would be registration fraud, not voter fraud.
