“Military ballot requests down in key battleground states”
Requests from military voters for absentee ballots have dropped
significantly since 2008, according to newly released statistics,

most pronounced. According to statistics released Monday by The Military

“Tennessee voter ID law is common sense: Memphis’ 2005 Ford election proves why”
At Knoxnews.com, editorial on Tennessee voter ID and a rewind to the past in the infamous Ford fraud case. Excerpt below:
In the Memphis case, a well-known folk artist, Joe Light, supposedly cast a ballot in person in the Ford race. Light had been dead for years. Fund and von Spakovsky detail how “dead” people voted, felons voted, people from outside the precinct voted and the sordid details of how the fraud was perpetuated, with local election officials complicit. They wrote:
Local poll officers were involved in some of the fraud in this election. That type of insider fraud can be hard to deter and hard to detect. The importance of poll-watching programs cannot be overstated. They allow poll watchers and election observers to verify that officials are not violating the law, or even sloppily failing to follow the law, by allowing individuals to vote whose IDs don’t match their registered addresses. The Memphis case is a perfect example of how close elections are changed due to voter fraud, and why security measures should be put in place to ensure that elections are decided only by legitimate voters.
