It is an unshakable belief, a tenet of faith in conservative ideology that democrats (and other 'evil' liberals) have been stealing elections. It was the pretext for attacking ACORN. It is the pretext for the Republican promotion of voter ID.
So I cannot help but be by turns outraged and entertained as the evidence of fraud in connection with upcoming recall elections unravels in neighboring Wisconsin.
We have the allegation of voter fraud against one of the GOP staffers of the author of the WI Voter ID legislation, which you can read about here.
And we have all the irregularities that turned up in the State Supreme Court election, including the absentee ballot problems by nuns which you can read about here and the irregularities outlined here.
And now we have such strong allegations of fraud and misconduct in the state senator recall elections by the Republicans that they may not allow those three Democrats to be recalled. You can read why here.
So, while the conservatives fervently believe without proof to support it that Democrats and liberals are committing all kinds of fraud to alter the outcome of elections........it seems the opposite. The people to be afraid of committing fraud in connection with elections, from this pattern, appears to be the Republicans and other conservatives.
How hypocritical is that?
