Can we get the terminology right? It's not voter FRAUD, it's voter SUPRESSION.

can we please start calling it what it is...? do we have to keep playing along with the fiction that it's voter fraud...? every time the word fraud is used, it perpetuates the nonsense that there were actual attempts to rig elections by democrats instead of republicans, and that has been shown time after time to be bogus...

Nearly half the U.S. attorneys slated for removal by the administration last year were targets of Republican complaints that they were lax on voter fraud supression, including efforts by presidential adviser Karl Rove to encourage more prosecutions of election-law violations, according to new documents and interviews.

Of the 12 U.S. attorneys known to have been dismissed or considered for removal last year, five were identified by Rove or other administration officials as working in districts that were trouble spots for voter fraud supression -- Kansas City, Mo.; Milwaukee; New Mexico; Nevada; and Washington state. Four of the five prosecutors in those districts were dismissed.

It has been clear for months that the administration's eagerness to launch voter-fraud supression prosecutions played a role in some of the firings, but recent testimony, documents and interviews show the issue was more central than previously known.

see how much that clarifies things...? you don't have to constantly stop and remind yourself that fraud has nothing to do with it, it was all about keeping certain people from voting so that the election of loyal bushies republicans wouldn't be obstructed by all those annoying lower income and minority folks who simply don't get that they should be voting republican...
