To find fraud, the justices went back to New York City in 1868. They also noted one possible case of fraud out of 2.8 million ballots cast in Washington's 2004 election.

I don't get it. If there is no problem with fraud, why should the editor be concerned about an antifraud measure?

These morons are afraid it will have the same effect of disenfranchising minorities in the way that literacy tests and poll taxes might have. That's a stretch. All they are requiring is a person have a face and were born.

The state should make it very clear what they require so people will come prepared. $28 for a birth certificate sounds like robbery, though.
