Voter Fraud?

I want to share an editorial in today's New York Times entitled "The Myth of Voter Fraud."

As the article points out, there are almost no occurrences of voter fraud in the United States. The George W. Bush administration unleashed their Justice Department to vigorously pursue voter fraud, even to the point of firing their own appointed US Attorneys who were unable to find evidence of such fraud.

There are instances of mistakes, but the numbers are so small that if the government were run like a business, the owners would spend no money trying to reduce the vanishingly small numbers further.

But that isn't the real agenda.
