When Obama is not on the ballot the Fraud Machine makes a genuine effort, but it just doesnt have the juice. The biggest $ and the vast army of professional cheaters isnt out in force. The effort falls short.
I would agree with you to a certain extent. The fraud machine is in part racially motivated. It doesn't work quite as well when the 'Rats have white candidates running.
Nor do the baseless fears the 'Rats try to instill in prospective black voters by tarring Republicans as the new segregationists.
As to election fraud and cheating in general, perhaps there was a little bit of legal pushback this year with a few more states requiring photo IDs and more Republican secretaries of state somewhat more aware of the problems and somewhat more willing to combat them.
