It’s soothing to think that this “voter fraud” fraud is a temporary fad among right-wingers desperate to stop the encroaching tide of minority voters — especially when you see silly provocateurs James O’Keefe and company running around the country making fools of themselves as they try to trap people into violating the voting laws. That’s so daft that it’s fair to assume this strategy may have run its course.

Unfortunately, that would probably be wrong. “Voter fraud” is just the latest iteration of a fundamental belief among conservatives that if you let the riff-raff vote they will vote to take everything you’ve got. It goes all the way back to the beginning, when the founders debated who would be allowed to vote, and John Jay is said to have quipped: “Those who own the country ought to govern it.”

2. Voter fraud by and far the GOP, the only cases I have heard of are republicans.

The nut job "True the Vote" lady uses the theory if two people has the same name then it is voter fraud. If some dies and you have the same name then you are committing voter fraud. But she was friends with Bruce Fleming in Fort Bend Texas who also ran for office in the county and he was registered to vote in Pennsylvania and Texas, he said he thought he could vote in both states since he owned a home on both.

4. In a very limited way, I'd let him

They should have a "part-time resident" ballot that contains only local offices - county-level and below, maybe go all the way up to state senator, one per state of residence outside your primary state. We don't need someone having a vote for every congressman or 435 votes for president, but our fragile republic will not perish from this earth if someone votes for two mayors.
