I think that anyone who believes that voter fraud does not occur at all
is living in a fantasy world. It does happen, the scale of voter fraud
is definitely open to interpretation.

Voter fraud usually disappears down into the noise of an election. In
a blowout election, who cares if 0.01% of the vote was bogus but if an
election is as close as Bush v Gore, 0.01% was the margin in Florida
with over 60 votes to spare.

In a local election, a few hundred votes can flip many of the races.

I believe the case in Georgia involving 40,000+ "missing" voter
registrations is still unresolved. It went before a judge, and there are
several complicated issue. If it turns out the 40,000 registrations were
mysteriously lost or left unprocessed by the state's Republican
government, it will be by far the biggest documented case of election
fraud in recent history.

In our lifetime, perhaps, Texas will turn blue. That will be the end of
the Republican-Conservative-Tea Party Party as it exists today.

All of that implies all 40,000 were democrats. If you don't know that,
it is just more tin foil hat stuff.

i don't know who they were, just that that many registrations are
alleged to be missing.

Considering your low opinion of southern rednecks, isn't it easy for
you to admit these might just be white guys who screwed up their
registrations so badly that they were thrown away?

As I stated, I don't know who they were, and unlike you, I'm not willing
to speculate on everything just for the sake of posting an opposite
opinion. The Republican secretary of state there claims the 40,000
registrations have been found, but there is no evidence of that in the
hands of those who registered.

Further, The “Republican whip of the state Senate complained that DeKalb
County, Ga., was making it too easy for minorities to vote by allowing
early voting in an area mall close to many predominantly
African-American churches,” according to a report in Think Progress.

As I have stated, this is just one of many instances in which
Republicans are trying to chill turnout and the vote because the
demographics are not going their way.
