It's easy to make the claim that recent stricter voting I.D. rules increase vote suppression, but it's impossible to deny that evidence like this is not directed at vote fraud. The son of Virginia Representative Jim Moran (D) had to resign today over this video where he's shown instructing a volunteer how to fake I.D. and then vote for several people. Don't let your bias against the O'Keefe squad let you flip the channel. This is vetted by CBS news.

Virginia issues free voter cards to every citizen. It's not an ID card. It's a state-issued free paper card, just so you can vote. You get it when you register to vote.
Let's get real here. The GOP isn't interested in stopping the non-existant problem of voter fraud. Their goal is voter suppression. Plain and simple. It's been their strategy for 30 years. They openly admit it.
This was the GOP's strategy in 2000 when they caged voters by kicking people off the rolls in Florida, claiming they were felons when they were not. 35,000 voters in total were turned away from the polls because they had similar names to a convicted felon from another state!
It's why in 2004, Ohio Republicans shorted black districts with so few voting machines that people had to stand in line for 18 hours to vote. Think some of them just gave up and went home?
Republicans talking about the integrity of elections is like Hitler worrying about human rights. We know what their goal is. It's the same as it's always been. Voter Suppression.
And it's a stupid premise to begin with. What, have Republicans never heard of people using fake IDs?
But that's just like today's Republicans. Invent a problem that doesn't exist in order to avoid a problem you don't want to solve.
So why don't we try something else. Why don't we instead change things so that everyone can vote by mail. Oregon does it, and they're the only state that gets 99% turn out. In an age when we can make bank transfers on the internet and by phone, I think we can figure out how to securely vote by the internet or by phone. Why not extend voting to the weekend when people don't have to work?
No, we can't have that. It would mean that more people would vote. And that's bad news, because the more people vote, the more Republicans LOSE.
...but she was right about the vast Republican conspiracy against Clinton. We know this because David Brock, as a member of that conspiracy, wrote about it.
