Translated into honest English, Repubs want to cut down on Democrats' massive voter fraud schemes.Massive voter fraud that George Bush's Justice Department and Karl Rove, who tried as hard as they could, were unable to prove.In 5-Year Effort, Scant Evidence of Voter FraudFive years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.
