“Just another casual conversation about voter fraud”

 American Spectator.


So why was a field director for a safe congressman giving tips on voter fraud to a campaign volunteer? Because Virginia is currently a toss-up in the presidential, and jacking up turnout in Northern Virginia is crucial. Romney’s currently in the lead.


It’s easy to get distracted when a young woman (Lena Dunham) does a video for a campaign in which she compares voting for the president to her “first time,” but both demonstrate a profound lack of judgment on the part of the campaign, and possibly even desperation. What is shocking is not merely that Pat Moran has helpful suggestions to commit voter fraud — it’s the absolutely cavalier way in which he discusses the issue, as though this is a normal conversation to have, and that this information isn’t all that hard to come by. If it were to happen anywhere, Virginia’s the perfect target.


Opponents of voter ID laws cite lack of evidence of voter fraud as reason enough to dismiss proposed solutions. But this conversation is fairly educational: How can you gather evidence of illicit behavior when the harmful activity is so easy to commit?

Selective Interest: New York Times Discovers Voter Fraud

The revenue slumping New York Times discovers voter fraud, perhaps for the first time this fall.  Of course it took a Republican being accused for the Times to wake from it’s vote fraud denying slumber.

A better solution is for all parties to be interested in voter fraud, all the time, no matter who is involved, whether a Republican, or the son of a Democratic Congressman.
