I am really freaked out about voter fraud. These drive the vote campaigns are a bad idea as it is. (Why would you encourage anyone who does not have the innitiative to register themselves to register their opinion on anything of concenquence?)

Now it appears as though these drives are registering ficticious names, multiple registrations, etc.

What good is it for me to vote honestly when some creep can vote several times using fraud in multiple districts with little concern of getting caught or being punished if caught?

I will vote, but I am starting to question the system. Maybe we need a national datablase and ID required at the polls.

It is a sad day when the honor system is abused.

Since when has it been the honor system? And where do you live that they aren't checking your ID when you vote?

Voter Fraud is as old as voting itself.

More then one example of dead people voting.....

A fake ID is not difficult to obtain, and even non-citizens have ID - there is nothing on a drivers license to indicate citizenship.

Quite true.

It's all hand in hand with the nature of politics.
