Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott, a Republican, launched an investigation in 2005 to uncover what he called an "epidemic" of voter fraud. But reviews of Abbott's investigation two years later yielded no cases of voter impersonation fraud. A Dallas Morning News review in 2008 found the 26 cases prosecuted were all against Democrats, most involved blacks and Hispanics, and typically involved people who helped elderly voters with mail-in ballots, but failed to follow state law by signing their names and addresses on the envelopes.
Abbot's investigation was paid for with a $1.4 million Justice Department crime-fighting grant.
After a five-year hunt for voter fraud, the Bush administration's Justice Department came up with little widespread fraud, finding mostly cases of people mistakenly filling out voter registration forms or voting when they didn't know they were ineligible, The New York Times reported in 2007. But none of the cases involved a person voting as someone else.
Meh, not really.
Incidence this low would indicate it is not a widespread or serious problem.
Maybe instead of trying to find excuses to keep minorities from voting (because then they'll only want to do it more!) the GOP could concentrate on giving minorities reasons to vote for them.
Ending the race-baiting would be nice. Maybe not putting the interests of the wealthy above everyone else, that would work, too.
Wow, thats rich. When did Sharpton and Jackson become republicans?
Welfare Queens

Actualy, the term "Welfare Queen" was used by the REpublican Chicago Tribune, and Reagan ran with it, embellishing the story.
Bush was the one who used an inflammetory picture of Horton (who never called himself "Willie") and then denied he was behind the ads.
Jesse Helms used the "White Hands" ad to appeal to the redneck who blames "affirmative action" for the fact the good jobs were vanishing.
No one has really ranted about Cruz being born in Canada, other than to point out the hypocrisy of all the birthers who invented all kinds of theories about Obama being born in Kenya having no problem with it.

I am completely consistent. Absentee ballots should be few and far between so people need to show up to the polling place with an id. Then there would be absolutely not question and either side would have to shut up. There will be other problems, like long waiting lines. I disagree that absentee ballot fraud is restricted to republicans, if anything both sides engage in it. Only thing is republicans must be better at it because it seems to be mostly democrats that get caught.

OK, Joey boy. the truth is that both sides have engaged in race baiting. The dems are just better at it.
Edgey, your boy George W. Bush spend two years trying to prove vote fraud and couldn't.

And in the meantime, it reinforced minorities' opinions that the Republican party is hostile to them.
Losing millions of votes to stop hundreds of fake votes is a really bad strategy.
And so goes the liberal mantra that there is absolutely no voter fraud. This is like catching a mouse in your house, there are many more you don't see.
The state is currently dominated by the GOP, and the investigation was done by Republicans. They had every motivation to find and expose all the supposed voter fraud out there. They had every reason to bring into question the overwhelming win by Obama in the state. They found 17. If the investigation were led by Democrats, then maybe you could question the results as not accurate, but only maybe.
Sorry, loser. Most Ohioans refused to reimpose the failed Bush policies by electing Capt 1%, Mittskypoo.
So let me get this straight. According to you the state is Republican dominated. The investigation was done by Republicans. A 2 percent win is overwhelming. And the Republicans fixed the election in 2000 and 2004 but fixed the problem that would not allow them to do so in 2008 and 2012. Do you really listen to yourself? So what is it, the republicans are so dirty they fix elections but are so honest that they fixed the very system they used to fix the elections? Yes, Obama won and that made us all losers so at least we can agreed on that fact.

The problems of the 2000 and 2004 elections that helped the Booosh War Monkey "win" was not something that the Ohio GOP did purposefully. The state's voting infrastructure and election procedures was just not reliable, and it was the fault of state governments run by both parties over the decades.

Any voter fraud is too much voter fraud.
