Don’t know. You don’t either. You’re bluffing, point of fact. You are trying to gain by innuendo what you cannot gain by fact. ---

Does that constitute ‘Voter Fraud’? Counting fraud and voter fraud are different animals. It does not even hit three close to home. For an example see Bush in 2000. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > We discussed this, **Bricker.** At length. The plan of the nefarious Republican operatives was to use “voter fraud” as an excuse to insert themselves into the polling process. Not to change votes, not to steal votes, but to _impede_ the process, with the goal of suppressing votes from disadvantaged districts. Sigh. There was no such plan. ---

One simple reason that the media weren’t awash with stories of voter fraud this time round. The Democrats won the election. ---

[Cincinnati News, Sports and Things to Do | Cincinnati Enquirer](http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090127/NEWS01/301270059) The real reason is voter fraud is rare. This article is about Ohio fraud. The hot bed of liberal cheating came up with one case. he turned himself in. ---
