>>But, just to satisfy my curiosity, and leaving aside that there's absolutely zero indication that anything like that ever *has* happened (because conspiracy theories are after all better that way), what is there to show that it *can't* happen? <<

TS -

Well, there's the fact that registration applications all examined by the Election Boards responsible for validating them, and the ones detected as phonies are discarded before the bogus names are added to the voter rolls. ACORN has been helpfully flagging the suspect applications in order to assist the Election Boards with that job.

But since those Election Boards are probably part of the conspiracy, I'm sure it *could* happen. ;-) And of course, faking all the polls that show Obama with a big lead implicates a whole other group of people.

By the time all is said and done, a dozen or two non-eligible voters may well end up voting, nationwide.
