A modest proposal on proving Republicans lie about voter ID laws

A room with Republican and Democratic elected officials are offered $500:per hour to take a polygraph test, with individual results anonymous. The questions will be what is the primary reason you support voter ID laws Suppress democratic votes or prevent voter fraud. The second question will be do voter ID laws prevent fraudulent votes exceeding one one hundredth of one percent of the vote, true? All republicans will turn down the money and all democrats will accept it.

When rethugs say "voter fraud", they mean Democratic voters, especially minority voters. They're really trying to prevent as many Democrats from voting so rethugs can fraudulently maintain power.

Voter id laws only stop one form of voter fraud which is in person impersonation. That form of voter fraud does not occur in the real world. In each of the trials on this issue, the GOP have been unable to document any real examples of this type of fraud

since when he was elected the Republicans flipped the state from Democratic to Republican control,
when the law was challenged in federal court the judge asked the state's attorney general for examples of voter fraud here he couldn't come up with a single example.
Although in Walker's recall election one of his supporters got caught voting for him multiple times.
