Republicans look for voter fraud, find little

No S**T, Sherlock!

"DENVER (AP) — Republican election officials who promised to root out voter fraud so far are finding little evidence of a widespread problem.

State officials in key presidential battleground states have found only a tiny fraction of the illegal voters they initially suspected existed. Searches in Colorado and Florida have yielded numbers that amount to less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all registered voters in either state.

Democrats say the searches waste time and, worse, could disenfranchise eligible voters who are swept up in the checks."

They live in a lot of fear of discovery and deportation. I've lived near them and taught their children.

Illegals and voter fraud is the Brownface for welfare queens.
