Considering Jimmy Carter in 2005 found 150,000 cases of one specific kind of voter fraud in Florida in one specific election.... I'm going to go ahead and guess your numbers are a bit off. |

"Conservatives have described voter fraud as a “serious threat to democracy.” But even the National Republican Lawyers Association, which supports voter ID laws, was only able to find 340 cases of voter fraud over a ten year period.
“Oh, my god. That’s almost .7 cases per state per year,” Stewart said. “And it also includes registration fraud, registering the wrong address, writing Mickey Mouse on a petition — which voter ID would not address.”
You have some sources for Jimmy Carter finding 150,000 cases of fraud? I'm going to go with Jon Stewart considering this is coming from the National Republican Lawyers Association. I am sure they would side with Carter if there was 150k cases in one year.
If anything it is Republicans that practice fraud by trying to deem law abiding citizens as felons just because they have the same or similar name. They group together and purge voters even if they aren't felons. This happened in Florida in 2000 which probably helped good old W get elected along with the Supreme Court giving him the presidency by stopping the recount. I believe they are trying to do the same crap again (voter purge even if not a felon).
