Vote fraud

Voter fraud is as old as ballot boxes, and never easy to catch. It seems like weeks before this election we're bombarded with tales of potential voter fraud. Like this one, about people in Houston who are registered, but are dead.
Speaking in the dining room of the home in the East Little York/Homestead neighborhood where the couple moved in 1976, Hill said he didn’t know why or how the county would have recorded his late wife as voting three months after her death. He’s curious to know how it happened — and concerned about whether her identity has been stolen.
or this one in Indianapolis.
So we have 644,197 people eligible to be registered in Marion County/Indianapolis, and 677,401 people registered. Congratulations go to Indianapolis for having 105% of its residents registered!
Then there are the continuing ACORM stories.

Here in Louisiana we have a long history of stuffing the ballot box. I've even heard stories that at one point, a small town had an election and when the votes were counted, something like 110% of the eligible voters had voted. It was a landslide.

I'm not accusing the Democratic Party, although it seems like a lot of the voter registration troubles come from populations that are likely to vote Democratic.

And if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
