Complete fucking horseshit.
This nonsense is timed to support the additional voter suppression laws passed by the NC Republican legislature last year. The republicans can't win a national election without making sure that they make it harder for Democrats to vote. They're doing it all over the country. This bullshit is designed to support the fantasy that there is a need for these new laws beyond trying to stack the deck in favor of the GOP. Shameful is what it is....Republicans trying to curtail that most basic right of all US citizens, the right to vote.
>>>>Republicans leaders immediately touted the preliminary report as evidence they were justified in approving sweeping elections changes last year that include requiring voters to present photo ID at the polls, cutting days from the period for early voting and ending a popular civics program that encouraged high school students to pre-register to vote in advance of their 18th birthdays.<<<<<
The reality? Here is what the person in charge of the "investigation" said yesterday:
>>>"Could it be voter fraud? Sure, it could be voter fraud," Strach said. "Could it be an error on the part of a precinct person choosing the wrong person's name in the first place? It could be. We're looking at each of these individual cases."<<<
Other states that have conducted almost identical voter cross check investigations have shown little or no voter fraud after all the work was done.
>>>>However, other states using the cross-check system have yielded relatively few criminal prosecutions for voter fraud once the cases were thoroughly investigated.
Only 11 people were prosecuted on allegations of double-voting as a result of the 15 states that performed similar database checks following the 2010 elections, according to data compiled by elections officials in Kansas, where the cross-check program originated.<<<<<
