Hey CRD, you are right...election fraud does not just occur at the ballot box.  Media ''bias'' is not voter fraud...if that was so Lush Windbag, Hannity, and any number of rightwing talkers not to mention Fox News would have been in court years ago!

Also, remember the actual miniscule voter fraud that does occur does not always help the Democrats.  In the 2 instances of election fraud of which I have personal knowledge (via absentee ballots cast by a dead woman's daughter and a demented man's wife) they benefited the GOP.  In the only case of verifiable voter fraud uncovered by an investigation by the WI Secty of State a single man voted 14 times...for GOP Gov Scott Walker.  Every investigation into voter fraud has showed that the easiest way to commit voter fraud is through the absentee ballot laws which typically permit ballots to be ordered online with no proof of who is ordering the ballot and certainly no picture ID required.  In states where voters register by party, over 60% of the absentee ballot requests come from voters registered as GOP. 

I'll bet you love and think the picture ID laws now being passed by GOP legislatures all over America are great to cut down on the ''vast'' voter fraud occuring across the nation.  Well nobody else has been able to explain this to me, maybe you can...in most of these states it is possible for a person to get the voter picture ID by producing the same type verification info that used to be accepted at the polling place at the time of voting. That info does NOT include any picture.  Please explain how that does not simply shift the fraud potential to a different venue...the voter registration office or DMV instead of the polling place?  Every person who wants to drive a car has to have a license, every person who wants to travel out of the country has to have a passport, every person who wants to collect SS has to have SS card and every person who wants to have Medicare has to have a Medicare card!  OK, if you will support a new national voter's picture ID which each and every voter has to have to vote and where each and every voter has go through the same hassle to get it, then we can agree on a picture ID to vote.
