Most voter fraud comes in the form of workers at polling places or absentee ballots. Very little voter fraud (if any) would be prevented if they required IDs.

The Republicans came out with their own voter fraud scandal only when they were about to be exposed.

No it doesn't, unless someone actually shows up to vote on that registration (which is highly unlikely).

It actually does become voter fraud, to the extent that some of the faked registrations do not get caught.

This is actually voter registration fraud. Roughly the same thing ACORN was caught doing. The actual fraud is committed against the organization paying for the registrations (hence, ACORN was the victim, not the perpetrator). But, since the Republicans were good about blurring the difference between voter registration fraud and voter fraud when ACORN was involved, go ahead and call this voter fraud.

Only according to this it's on the Republican end. Hmm. Maybe that's why Republicans are so insistent on Voter ID initiatives - they know what they're up to. Granted, this appears to be one firm in one state, but this looks like more fraud than the country has recorded in decades.
