Columbus, Ohio - If Republican lawsuits and rhetoric are any indication, the specter of voting fraud is looming large over the November election.

A weeklong period in which new voters can register and immediately cast a ballot? Ripe for voting fraud. The state's method of verifying voter registration information? Insufficient to prevent voter fraud.

1. voter fraud is not the same thing as vote fraud

as much as the repugs want to conflate the two. Voter fraud is paying someone to vote, filling out their ballot, creating fake ID to vote more than once. Vote fraud is systematic means to disenfranchise people, suppress the vote through intimidation, or use software to create false vote totals.

2. Well if ever there were people that are experts on vote and

voter fraud it would be the Republickers, they have perpetrated enough of it to know how it works.
