a group provided transortation for the homeless to the election office and just happen to hire them (pay them 5 bucks) at the same time... fishy yet acceptable Update: Suttle Says Mistakes Were Made in Busing Efforts and in a growing democratic urban area of course he retained his seat, they love dirty pool, all hail the great ones
Search 'voter fraud' in the forums. Plenty of links and comments on the subject. Then there's GIYF.
It was easy. I did it. (ahem, the search, not the fraud).
It's nice that this election, my wife's dead parents won't be voting again this cycle.
No one said voter fraud is uncommon. The blatant kind with elaborate schemes isn't all that common, more often its disenfranchising people who share a name with a convicted felon or haven't paid their poll tax for an ID, you know, the kind of fraud Republicans like
There is voter fraud. Always has , always will be. There is also voter suppression. Always has, always will be. Which is more acceptable? Which is more widely practiced?

So, just a drop in the bucket, eh?
Seems to be the right bucket when needed. Ask Al Franken.
A Democratic state legislator from east Arkansas, his father and two campaign workers pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to commit election fraud after federal prosecutors said the lawmaker's campaign bribed absentee voters and destroyed ballots in a special election last year.
Prosecutors said Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum of Marion, Kent Hallum, Phillip Wayne Carter and Sam Malone acknowledged that they participated in a conspiracy to bribe voters to influence absentee votes in the Arkansas District 54 primary, runoff and general elections in 2011. The four were released pending a sentencing hearing.
Wait a minute. I thought "voter fraud" was a figment of the right's imagination and a tool to disenfranchise minorities. What gives?
