A thorough study revealed that something on the order of four ten-thousandths of one percent of ballots cast over a period of ten years were "fraudulent." That's 0.0004%. Now that is certainly a pressing issue.

We ignore the very real issue that we are faced with by these voting machines.

Nobody's talking about that little gem.

Welcome to DU krhines!

That admission did not help the League of Women Voters in their suit against Indiana's statute.

Hopefully this ridiculous law will be struck down.

Election fraud is rampant, via voter suppression, hacking Diebold machines, etc. and has impacted the outcome of many elections. The GOP are masters at election fraud. They know it's the only way they can win.

so they can explain away the results of the exit polls and instead claim the Repugs won when it was just hacked voting machines that picked the right wing winners, not voters. It happens time after time and won't stop until we outlaw private companies using uninspected machines to determine the course of democracy or lack thereof in this country.

and welcome to DU!

They should be suing Ann Coulter (I know, she ran out the clock) and Mitt Romney during his living in the basement years.

The Commonwealth of PA has just acknowledged that there is no need for a voter ID law, but still wants to have one anyway. Am I missing something?

That thought upthread about this being just a game to distract from the real problem of hacked voting machines? I think it has merit.

Teabagger voter suppression law here in Michigan. Oh well, even a broken clock is accurate twice a day! His veto came on the heels of Moron Speaker of the House Jase Bolger's banning of those two women Representatives for daring to utter the words "vagina" and "vasectomy" so maybe he was felling a little embarrassed for his party.
