- b.c.,
This report documents a recent finding on voter fraud and the alleged need for photo ID laws. These laws are supported by conservative and Republican supporters because they disenfranchise mainly citizens likely to vote against their candidates.
The false presumption is (according to the bigots) that widespread liberal fraud runs rampant in elections. Only liberal fraud, mind you. Interesting revelations include the following:
"In-person voter-impersonation fraud is rare."
"There is more fraud in absentee ballots and voter registration than any other categories." (Hmmm. And who is more likely to cast absentee votes??)
"...absentee balloting, which provides far more opportunity for fraud and intimidation than on-site voter fraud."
And here's the kicker, (or why Republicans use the law to deny citizens their right to vote):
"According to Pennsylvania’s Department of State and the Department of Transportation, as many as 758,000 people, about 9 percent of the state’s 8.2 million registered voters currently don’t have the identification that now will be required at the polling place.
Even if 90 percent of those voters got the correct identification by Nov. 6, that still could leave 75,800 voters disenfranchised."

Yep. Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Jim... Jim Crow.
