Diane Rehm has Jane Mayer, of the New Yorker, on talking about her work on voter fraud. Lotsa good stuff including how there is just about zilch in voter ID fraud, how wingnuts are intimidating people, and, surprisingly, that absentee ballots are the most fraud-prone.

(You might want to ignore the comments section-- it's been overwhelmed by the wingnuts thus far.)

on edit:

Mayer's New Yorker article:
