And how do you know this? Or were the voters like those in St. Louis during the election - long dead or canines?

Every state has an obligation to make sure that only people who are eligible to vote are on the voter rolls. Here in the Chicago area, there have been reports of a significant problem among Democratic voters of people registering in both Chicago and Milwaukee (a 90 minute drive) and voting in both places. Every election there are reports of inner city Democratic precinct captains bribing homeless persons with cigarettes or booze to vote straight party Democratic. There have long been reports of deceased people remaining on the rolls and voting as part of the Chicago Democratic machine. Some even claim that the 1960 election was stolen by the Democrats in this fashion. Do I know these things to be facts? No. They're just reports, usually with a partisan slants. Do you know for a fact that 57,700 people who were eligible to vote were denied that right in Florida? No. You just read it somewhere, written by someone whose motives and bias are obvious. For you, that's enough to convert innuendo into fact. For reasonable and rational people, it's just noise.
