elections officials said today that more than 850 people are suspected of illegally voting in two states in the 2000 presidential election, including 402 in both New York and Florida.

How do we know that they were all Democrats? Moreover, this is individual fraud, rather than concerted party fraud. I grant you, that the bulk were probably Dems, but this is rather thin beer. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be stamped out, but it does mean that to get into a wad over it demonstrates a distinct lack of proportion.

"How do we know that they were all Democrats?

Who said they wer ALL Democrats? Let's assume statistical balance here (which is by the way the way dem's want to conduct a census). Statistically then 60% were dems. and 10% independents or other and 30% Republican. We are talking NYC.

Moreover, this is individual fraud, rather than concerted party fraud.

By what evidence do you make that assumption? We have no evidence of what type of fraud it is, only that it occurred.

"this is rather thin beer."

Yes, I prefer Guiness, as well.

" but it does mean that to get into a wad over it"

Well, I for one was not "in a wad" over it. I was merely pointing out the article.

"demonstrates a distinct lack of proportion"

Well, here I have to disagree with you, respectfully. Being as the election was sooooo close and that voter fraud occurred on a wide scale in many places (Missourri, Milwaukee, Philly, NY, Florida and others) and the preponderance of the reports indicates it to be Democratic fraud and considering most Dems feel Bush was "unelected" or that the court "stole" the election, thus disenfranchising and delegitimising the Bush presidency and being that voter fraud has long been a Democratic strength (Chicago 1960, Indianna 1984, California 1994) and being that the vote is a time honored right established with the blood of our forefathers, well then it seems that a little anger over the Dems stealing my vote is in proportion to to the act committed. Yes, now I am in a wad. And I apologise for the run-on sentence.
