Why are Republicans not afraid of election fraud?

Once again the issue of voter fraud has taken center stage. Every time an election nears, the Republican base tosses it up in hopes it will stick. This time around, with Republicans in control, they saw their opportunity. The rush was on to prevent what they saw as a threat to their goal of domination.

When you are a party that has a minority of members how do you garner a better position? By making it more difficult for your opposition to vote. Who are the most likely to vote following the other parties lines? Well the young, collage students, the elderly, and the poor.

The laws they passed without public debate are an example of their real concern with the people. It only shows that they know the majority won't go for it. They pushed it though and did not allow the people to speak. So what if it gets challenged and tossed out? The tax payers can pick up the legal tab.

Many will ask what is wrong with stopping voter fraud ? Nothing is wrong if it is a legitimate problem, however all investigations into voter fraud have revealed that it isn't a real problem in this state.

Out of the millions and millions of voters only a few cases of illegitimate voters have been found. We here in Wisconsin are being forced to pay over 12 million dollars to prevent a total of 7 bad votes over the years ....... votes that would have had no effect on an election whatsoever.

Our focus should be on the very real problem of EVM's (electronic voting machines), which have been shown to allow their programs to be altered. The real problem isn't voter fraud, it's election fraud
.
We have EVM's being used in nearly every precinct in this state that are costing the public millions of dollars and have been proven to be insecure. Each year, more states and county officials spend our tax dollars to purchase these machines that are so easy to manipulate.

It must be demanded that the people require more transparency in the election process ....... not a secret coded corporate-programmed machine that allows for no one to observe the counting of the ballots
