Voter fraud ... a growing problem

Each presidential year we have dealt with voter fraud, a problem that seems to grow worse every four years. This year is no exception.

Craig Orndorff over at Shenandoah GOP brings up some good points in Suspicious voter registration activity popping up where he writes:
When I was with the College Republicans at the University of Virginia, I learned a very important lesson about the magic of federalism. The election of 2004 waged all around my freshman year, and the College Republicans were charged with ensuring that Republican leaning students got their absentee ballot applications and registering those who were not registered. Sounded simple enough. However, the trick was that with students from all fifty states, that meant that I had fifty different deadlines to contend with. Talk about headaches.

Well, field organizers on both sides are facing those headaches right now (although the majority only have to deal with one state’s rules and regulations). In the rush to get as many voters registered as possible, we’re beginning to see some suspicious activity.
Craig outlines issues in Virginia and Nevada which are just the tip of the iceberg in a nationwide problem that may be a deciding factor on November 4th.
