No evidence of any significant fraud like that. Did you see the headline article in USA Today? This is another rightwing dirty trick and lie to try and require voter ID cards which cost $30, thereby keeping the poor from voting. It's an old racist Jim Crow trick from the south. And I notice you point at "fraud" in East St. Louis. That's a black district. I'm sure you also rant about "felons and ex-convicts" being allowed to vote. Actually, those are people who've paid their debt to society and have the right to vote again except in the segregationist south. The trick here is that the rightwing knows it's much easier for black men to get busted and convicted than whites, so they're safe disenfranchising ex-convicts as a group. But a US citizen is a US citizen. You can't descriminate between a corrupt multi-millionaire rightwing politician, for instance, and a wrong-accused poor black guy who got arrested for smoking a joint and spent two yerars in prison. They both have an equal right to vote.

We will see additional fraud stories in the near future. Scott Liendecker, director of Republican elections for St. Louis, said his office will turn the matter over to the U.S. attorney's office for possible prosecution once a final count of potentially fraudulent submissions is finished next week.
