ONE LAST FRAUD...:
Labour to halt postal vote fraud but only after election (Jill Sherman and Dominic Kennedy, 4/11/05, Times of London)
LABOUR is planning to legislate to stop cheating in postal voting immediately after the general election in spite of repeated assurances from ministers that the present system is safe, The Times has learnt.The disclosure will embarrass the Government, with critics pointing out that it is happy for the system to be used in the general election, even though it is clearly flawed enough to require speedy legislation.
It will prompt charges that the Government failed to act sooner because it was worried that a shake-up of the laws might affect its own vote.

No! Washington State. Kerry was quoted by the NYT this AM as saying voters nationally were mislead into not voting in the last election and cited two horrendous examples. He went on to qualify the charge by adding the missed votes were probably insignificent to the election results ... but then again Kerry seems to dwell in insignificence.
I absolutely abhor tampering with the validity of the election process, but must admit that anyone influenced by Kerry's examples is probably to damned dumb to be voting at all.
Ala the Washington State King County fiasco; the Democratic party seems to think that lying during an election is not only abhorrent but unnecessary when you can win by outright voter fraud.
