After finally getting a Republican into our Attorney General's office here in Alabama, AG (now federal Judge) Pryor sent postcards to every registered voter (they had a brief message on them to the effect of "Mrs. So n So is a Registered Voter at this address, please call xxx-xxxx if she is no longer living there").
You see, where you *live* matters. You vote in your precinct, for your state. You have to be a resident in both your precinct and your state.
Well, thousands upon thousands of those postcards came back with phony addresses or that no one by that name lived there. The postman had just done our voter validation for us.
We then purged our voter registration rolls of everyone whose postcard came back with an invalid address.
Republicans have owned this state ever since.
All for the price of sending out postcards. Oh, and last year we started requiring photo ID's to vote.
So it's safe to say that Alabama will go Republican again this year. We've killed voter fraud.
You can too. Hey, everyone can be as savvy as Alabamaians, right?!

hard to say which is the more corrupt area
I've never understood why you shouldn't be required to identify yourself to vote
.... and absentee balloting rules are drafted to allow for fraud
.
Not a chance here in California.
Brilliant. This is needed in every state.
