I think the fear many conservatives have about election fraud is way overblown.

First, massive election fraud isn’t easy to pull off. Any kind of conspiracy like this, that would have a measure of success, takes a lot of people involved and it’s almost inevitable that someone will “screw up” and get caught. I’m sure it has happened in a limited number of local elections, but to commit this kind of theft on a scale to where it would change the outcome of a national, or even state wide election, is probably extremely difficult. The one exception I can recall is the 1960 Presidential election where Mayor Daley got enough votes out of the Chicago cemeteries to put JFK into the White House. But that election would have been extremely close, even without the fraud in Illinois.

Secondly, the Dems ain’t that smart. It would take a lot of brain power and cunning to pull this off,which, I don’t believe most of them have.

And third, I recall that there was a lot of fear that election fraud would insure Scott Brown’s defeat in MA. Didn’t happen. How about NJ and VA? The Dems couldn’t do it in those states either.

It is a weapon in the war of freedom vs. tyranny that only the tyrants employ. It's like nerve gas. They've used it before, and we refuse to take counter-measures, or even call it when we see it, let alone use it against them.

And they'll use it again, every chance they get.
