Good question with an obvious answer:
You’re more likely to be hit by lightning than you are to commit voter fraud at the polls. So why are Republicans so set on passing voter ID laws and other measures to stop this non-existent threat? According to Ari Berman, it’s all part of the GOP’s strategy to suppress the Democrat-leaning voter blocks of young people, people of color and immigrants.
Nice focus on voter fraud myth. See also “Starve the Beast” strategy. http://machimon.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/norquist-the-gops-grey-eminence/
