I'm taking a bit of a chance here. Michael Collins gave me permission to publish the first part of this investigation, and I presume that this consent extends to the second half (originally published here), although I have not heard from him. All words below the asterisks are his, and well worth reading they are.

Did Bush Commit Election Fraud? Part 2
Voter Fraud Scam Fails in Milwaukee Test Market

Michael Collins


This article describes the coordinated effort on the part of the Republican Party to establish alleged voter fraud committed by Democrats as a serious problem. Despite the disruptions it caused, an evaluation of the evidence shows the effort failed on multiple levels. Yet the effort perseveres and the myth that voter fraud is rampant is promoted even today by Republican operatives and others who should know better.

The latest version of the voter fraud myth had its origins Milwaukee before, during and after 2004 presidential election. The Republicans rolled out voter fraud as a crime of epidemic proportions; test marketed that concept with a vigorous press campaign; and encouraged a law enforcement effort to catch the hypothesized vote cheaters. This effort is well documented.
