Voter fraud is a serious concern, but with a state the size of California, it won't impact the governor's race (unless the race is as close as the Florida Presidential race!)
Voter fraud impacts local elections far more than statewide elections. There were races for the Assembly in 1996 and 1998 that Republicans BARELY lost that I'm sure voter fraud played a part.
There are many things that we need to do to end voter fraud, and the first step is to make the voter registration laws stricter. Unfortunately, the Democrat controlled legislature has made it EASIER to register, not MORE DIFFICULT. They also made it easier to submit absentee ballots -- not just the applications, but the actual ballots.
Simon's campaign, local Republican headquarters, local candidates, and those concerned need to develop a plan to counter potential voter fraud by identifying the common ways Democrats commit fraud and how to counter them.
However, remember that if someone is eligible to vote and although their ballot may have been submitted improperly or there are other irregularities, if they are eligible to vote no judge will throw out the ballot. We need to focus on PREVENTING fraud, and the first step is planning.
Go Simon!
Don't underestimate voter fraud.
Absolutely! I predicted massive fraud in the presidential elections this past November and no one wanted to believe me until about one week after the election.
