Whether or not there is actual voter fraud, they are deliberately gumming up the works at various registrar's offices, creating the potential for voter fraud.

Thought this was interesting, a commenter at Volokh said:

>>The following are undisputed facts:

1) In 1992, Obama led Project Vote in Chicago, a voter registration drive that added 150,000 registered voters.

2) In 1996, Obama challenged the signatures of all four of his opponents for the Democratic safe seat that he ended up winning.

So much for the facts.

My question is, where did Obama get the idea to challenge the signatures of all four of his opponents? He had to disqualify over 60% of the signatures of one opponent; over 50% of another; and over 40% of a third.

Did he observe as the leader of Project Vote that the paid signature gathering process was a joke? Was that what led him to challenge all four of his opponents signatures?

Regardless of those questions, a rampantly fraudulent signature gathering process gave Obama his entry into elected office.
