Republicans are worried about Election Fraud?

The only real election fraud I know of was not done by illegal immigrants, out of state students or ex-convicts.

It was done by our President in Florida in 2000.

It was done by corporations who created the mechanism to vote without absolute accuracy and transparency.

It was done by the DOJ.

America once was a beacon of democracy. An example to the world.

Now, we're a joke. We're an example of what is wrong with Democracy because we are no longer a Democracy. If only certain people can vote and even those votes can not be trusted then we are simply living a lie.

Cost the US big bucks and our reputation. Fraud continues today with the laws aimed at voter suppression. When scumbag politicians get in charge they produce scumbag laws.

The Republican schemers and plotters, and their hired shouters, pretend to be afraid of things like this. They get the base worked up, and as a result many Republican voters may be authentically worried about such issues. The Lex Luthors who plan the Repug strategies and tactics are just using the issue to distract from other things, focus their base, and work their voter suppression trickery, and they know what they're doing.
