Contrary view:
Vote fraud huts Democrats more than GOP. How? By increasing voter apathy, which it seems to me is more a problem for D's than it is for R's.
Why rouse yourself out of bed or off the couch to go vote when the party is taking care of it with dead voters and absentee ballots?
Someone on our side will think up a subtle but effective way to put this message across to the right constituent groups.

Glitches Reported Nationwide As Election Day Kicks Off
11/5/2002 12:27:15 PM
(Undated-AP) -- Election Day has kicked off with a mostly smooth start -- but it's not without some glitches.
A computer glitch caused voting machines in Cherry Hill, New Jersey to malfunction in about three-fourths of the township's 46 voting districts. Some voters had to use paper ballots while repairs got under way.
Indiana Congresswoman Julia Carson came to the polls early to vote for herself -- but her machine broke down when she pulled the lever.
Three counties in central Florida reported problems with optical scanners, and machines malfunctioned at a South Miami precinct. The lines are moving along in Florida, but officials say there could be delays because of the unusually long ballot.
In Delaware, elections officials are worried there might be some confusion among voters because of this year's redistricting -- which left thousands of voters in new districts or precincts.
More than 200 counties across the nation are trying out new voting equipment. Federal observers have been sent by the hundreds to polling places in 14 states.
