A few years ago, my state senator, (republican, naturally,) made a HUGE
stink about voter fraud.

He found...ready for this?
3 illegal votes. That's all.

Now where's all the GOP whining and complaining about what really does
look like voter fraud, namely those easily hackable computerized voting
machines that have no paper verification?

This whole thing about "Felons shouldn't vote" began in the deep south,
BTW.

It was just another method to keep minorities from voting, and that's in
addition to caging, "poll taxes," and "literacy tests."

"Go back to Kenya" -Teabaggers in just about any protest
