An attack on the right to vote is underway across the country through laws designed to make it more difficult to cast a ballot. If this were happening in an emerging democracy, we’d condemn it as election-rigging. But it’s happening here, so there’s barely a whimper.
The laws are being passed in the name of preventing “voter fraud.” But study after study has shown that fraud by voters is not a major problem — and is less of a problem than how hard many states make it for people to vote in the first place. Some of the new laws, notably those limiting the number of days for early voting, have little plausible connection to battling fraud.

Awwwww, poor poor WaPo. First they had to sell Newsweek for $1 and now states are fighting back against “The Party” and their “elections”.
... because the only people who get screwed by the fraud are Republicnas, and no one cares about them, so there is no problem at all ...
Exactly how “hard” is it to vote in any state, Compost? Oooohhhh, they have to get an I.D. How oppressive!! /sarc

Dionne can shove it.
Dionne can shove it.
I’ve relegated everything Dionne says to the realm of satire.
I always love to read the whining of scumbags like Dionne when they complain that the Democrat party base of ignorant, uneducated tax-eaters is being “suppressed”. Cry me a freaking river.
The ONLY way I can tell that what we are doing — on any given action — is fair, moral, and Constitutional, is by how shrilly E.J. Dandyboy shrieks.
You couldn't ask for a better indicator that fraud is central to the Rats' 2012 election strategy.
Battleground states that lack strong anti-fraud measures need to get them in place, pronto.
Just because voter fraud hasn’t been actively prosecuted, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen often. We have seen examples where THOUSANDS of ballots have been rejected because ACORN was literally trying to stuff the boxes. And how many examples of close races where Rats have “found” boxes of ballots in the trunks of Rat operatives?
Not a whimper from these pukes when ACORN was trying to register a bunch of bogus voters.
I think this demonstrates that the left is getting nervous, that they are perhaps beginning to think that even with the help of the GOP elite (trying to throw the election) they will need fraud to pull out 2012.
E.J. is a pathetic and sickening excuse for a human being. As is anyone that agrees with what he has said here.
Dionne is such a wussy.
He E.J., how about we have people who voted dip a finger in ink, like they did in Iraq?
E.J. is the most shamelessly partisan of the WaPo hacks. And clearly the stupidest.
The two might be related...
Of course it isn't. The problem is fraud by the people who count the votes. Just ask your buddy Joe Stalin when you see him, E.J.
