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?
