The Cueball Doctrine: Fraud is only good when it helps the GOP, LOL.

"But, in Florida, it was the Republicans who pushed earlier this year to eliminate a legal mechanism that had helped prosecutors detect absentee-ballot fraud.

Traditionally, Republicans in Florida have done better with absentee ballots than Democrats. The GOP-controlled legislature there got rid of a requirement that the casting of an absentee ballot be witnessed, a rule that had helped ferret out fraud in the 1997 Miami-Dade County mayoral election, which was eventually overturned.

"It was amazing to me that we as a legislature would vote to make it easier to commit that kind of fraud," said state Rep. Dan Gelber, a Democrat and former federal prosecutor. "They weren't screaming about the fraud problem then."

There are criminal investigations into allegations that workers for a Republican Party-funded company threw out Democratic registrations in Oregon and Nevada.
