Voter fraud is extremely difficult to prosecute, and as Spakovsky noted, the Justice Dept, being an institution of the Beltway, has stopped even trying.That's a blatant lie. You just make **** up as you go along. In 2002 John Ashcroft started the U.S. Department of Justice, Ballot Access and Voting Integrity Initiative. Ashcroft said, "weve made enforcement of election fraud and corruption offenses a top priority."Got that Puss? It was a top priority. Not only did they not stop trying to prove voter fraud, they stepped up their efforts.You can read the DOJ's own report here, where it shows 55 people convicted of voter fraud in a five year period from 2002 to 2005, and precious few of those convictions were for people who voted twice.The usual Democrat Talking Point Lie. Honest political figures including many Democrats are deeply disturbed at the widespread voter fraud across the country...Another blatant lie. According to Bush's own Justice Dep't, there is no widespread voter fraud. But you choose to believe there is, so you can defend the filthy tactics used by Republicans to disenfranchise millions of voters.
