The first actual voter-fraud of the 2016-election just happened in Iowa. It was a Trump-supporter.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/republican-trump-voter-arrested-in-iowa-for-voter-fraud-after-allegedly-attempting-to-rig-election/

An Iowa Republican voter has been arrested for attempting to vote twice in the election. Terri Lynn Rote, 55, has been charged with first-degree election misconduct.

...

Rote is one of three people in the state currently being charged with voter fraud. The two previous people allegedly voted in person and attempted to send mail-in ballots as well. However, Rote is the only person to officially be arrested.

Too many people assume it's true without thinking and it is used to justify to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters. Democratic participation rates have to go up.

Some idiot voted in Colorado then drove to Kansas.

Getting Democrats to the polls once can be challenging enough.
