Fantasy voter fraud
In late October, days before the election, state Senator Russell Pearce directed his e-mail wrath at retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, whom he decried as an "activist judge" with a "lack of trust and respect for 'we the people.'"

Russell Pearce contended that Sandra Day O'Connor should be charged with ethics violations.

The reason: O'Connor, who occasionally serves as a stand-in federal judge, was one of two judges in a three-judge Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Panel who, on October 26, voted to strike down a key provision in Pearce's beloved Prop 200, which required Arizona residents to produce "proof of citizenship" to register to vote. (Federal law asks only that potential voters sign a registration form and attest to their citizenship under penalty of perjury.)

O'Connor ruled that the heart of Prop 200 violated the National Voter Registration Act because parts of it were an obstacle to the user-friendly, widely available voter registration required by the act.
