Who commits voter fraud???

Here's story from Massachusetts where the fraud was committed by Repubs trying to submit false absentee ballots that converted regular Democratic voters and reassigned them as Republicans. The next part of the scheme is apparently to submit their absentee ballots, presumably to accuse the innocent victims of in-person voter fraud when they show up to vote when the absentee had already been sent in.

The State attorney general took over the town election. Bless him.

Damn...

Just to be clear, the East Longmeadow is a wealthy republican stronghold... one of the few in MA. and what do they do? Try to manipulate the vote and/or demonstrate that 'in-person voter fraud' really occurs. Either way, it proves a point about the voter fraud myth.
