Of course, it’s not exactly the voter fraud the right is looking for, but hey, it’s fraud!

Of course not. Once they have the Voter ID laws in place - keeping those wrong kind of people from the polls - they’ll still be free to throw away Democratic registrations and ballots willy-nilly without running afoul of the laws they set up themselves. You see … it’s all on the up and up.
