I have always heard that fraud is easier among absentee ballots than among the normal ballots
Until this election, I would have thought that to be true, but after seeing absentee ballots thrown out because signatures didn't match up closely enough or witnesses didn't include their address, I think the opposite is true.

Virginia recently passed a law requiring voters to show proof of identity; it was strongly opposed by the Democrats as unfair and intimidating. But without ID, what's to stop someone from voting multiple times in neighbors' or recently deceased voters' names?

Perhaps this election will prove to be an incentive to establish a nationally unified system of voting. Probably not. Meanwhile, here's an interesting twist...an argument, that even if Bush wins, the Constitution requires that Lieberman be elected Vice President.
