The best way to stop voter fraud is to make sure that we have Republicans AT EVERY VOTER PRECINCT in the country monitoring the process.

It boggles my mind that we allow entire counties to be run by Democrats. Nobody watches them.

I agree, we need more watchers. However, it is pretty hard in some areas to get Republicans there. In some precincts in inner cities Republicans are threatened and/or intimidated(example election night in Little Rock) and in some areas, like the Sioux reservations the precincts are pretty remote.

I was heartened by the placement of DOJ civil rights observers in certain areas of Florida, which no doubt contributed to less attempts at fraud, coupled with the touch-screen machines which were a lot harder to mess with.

Bet you 10 bucks that there will be BIA and DOJ on the reservations next go-around.

This would be a great step in the right direction.

However, much more needs to be done.

1. Get rid of Motor Votor. It's a license (sic) to steal elections.

2. Institute ID verification of every votor, and a system to assure he only votes once.

3. Massive cleanups need to be done on the registration rolls, eliminating dead people, moved people, false people and otherwise ineligible people.

4. Voter fraud needs to be resolutely investigated and prosecuted with heavy fines and jail time penalties.

5. Ongoing registration needs to be closely monitored and the voter rolls finalized well before the actual election, perhaps 30 days before to allow proper eligible voter printouts which may be checked by in advance.

6. Get rid of wholesale absentee balloting and make it the very seldom exception instead of the rule.

7. Have a paper trail for every ballot cast.

Most of these problems can be addressed at the federal level for federal elections. The result will be cleaner elections at all levels.
