Unfortunately, I do not. I do not have any inside sources, so all I really can go by is research at the OH and WI Secretary of State websites. OH's is extremely poor, by the way. Their voter registration ended last week and they have no information up about registration rolls. WI's registration ends (I think) on 10-20. Hopefully, we'll get a sense of what is going on then.
If I were you, I would urge you not to worry about voter fraud too much. I have friends who think the Democrats steal 2-5% based on that alone. I doubt that this will occur this year. The GOP knows what kinds of tricks the Democrats pull -- after all, there are only so many ways you can cheat with a paper ballot -- and I would expect them to do a great deal to diminish its effect. Bottom line: if we hear about it on Freep, it means Bush/Cheney '04 and the RNC have heard about it...and they are undoubtedly on the case.
Thanks. Please keep us posted if you do find out more. It's something that keeps FReepers up at night, although I think it might be exaggerated.
I was thinking along the same lines myself, that Rove & co would be considering the fraud component in all their calculations. I am relieved that there are strong Sec of States in FL (Hood) and OH (Blackwell) to fight fraud. These two states matter the most in our equation to win on Nov 2nd.

First of all, Jay, I just found your blog and WOW is it informative! Brilliant analysis. You use logic over core emotional reaction quite effectively. I couldn't stop reading it.
Secondly, do you have details on your above comment? How does the GOP keep tabs on voter fraud?
Keep up the good work ...
