The GOP Debunks It's Own Voter Fraud MythThere's no hope for the hopelessly dishonest.Had voter fraud not put Al Franken into the Senate, Obama could never have Socialized US health care.One of the most brazen cases of voter fraud occurred in a state representative race in Kansas City, Mo., last year. It was a Democratic primary between J.J. Rizzo and Will Royster in a district where the victor was certain to win the general election. Rizzo received about 50 votes illegally cast by citizens of Somalia. The Somalis, who didnt speak English, were coached to vote for Rizzo by an interpreter at the polling place. Rizzo ended up winning by one vote.In another example, an 18-month study by Minnesota Majority found that 341 felons in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area illegally voted in the 2008 election. Compared with the 2.7 million votes cast in the state, 341 seems insignificant. But after the recount of the U.S. Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken, Frankens margin of victory was only 312 votes. The illegal votes cast by felons were not discovered until after the recount, making 341 an awfully significant number.http://www.washingto...URBI_story.html
