In the four years since the last presidential election, prosecutors have brought criminal cases in at least 15 states for fraud in absentee voting. One case resulted in the conviction of a voting-rights activist this year for forging absentee ballots in a Wisconsin county race. In another case, a Republican election worker in Ohio was charged with switching the votes of nursing-home residents in the 2000 presidential race. And last year in Michigan, three city council members pleaded guilty in a vote-tampering case that included forged signatures and ballots altered by white-out.

4. That's not really going to help in Gerogia

because we are all electronic voting. records can be manipulated offsite concurrent with actual voting.

3. Aren't they going to?

Or is that NATO or EU? I heard that some European countries are sending observers to the election just like in third world countries.
