This is usually the work of dirtbag scammers on the ground trying to hustle extra bucks when they get paid on the basis of how many forms they turn in. They make up names and sometimes addresses - I kinda doubt the fraudulent Leon Spinks is ever gonna show up at the polls.
If you ban paying people on the basis of how many forms or signatures they get, the incentive on the ground to commit fraud goes way down.
The Dems will not steal the election, looking at the current possible choices coming from the GOP the Dems will probably win it fair and square, and the right will claim they were robbed.
I'm a moderate republican, and I think the R party manufactured the "voter fraud' problem to suppress the student and low income vote. We've sunk to an all time new low if we have to resort to dirty tricks to win, vs. winning by having the best ideas. I'm disgusted with both parties, but the last year is pushing my family and me to consider going independent.
I think President Obama and the Dems will so thoroughly annihilate Republicans in next year's elections, that Republicans will want to believe there was voter fraud. Let's face it though, Pubs, you stink. Voters will let you know this better when it counts.
Honestly? I think Obama is going to win this one--the front running R candidates this time around are just too easy to rip apart, and if Romney wins the nomination I think you're going to see a chunk of the evangelicals stay home. I think the only thing that could change the picture dramatically is if the left end of the D party decides to go third party and runs a candidate on their own, and the R nominee wins by default. It might happen. It would be 1968 all over again...
The D's are coming out strong on the voter suppression issue and they're working to educate their constituents NOW about what they'll need to do to vote--I think it will have an impact on swing voters, but probably not as much as the R's hoped for on the D base.
