Christie says GOP gubernatorial candidates need to win so they control 'voting mechanisms'

Sure, if you believe something is happening (voter fraud) in the face of all evidence to the contrary then that belief is unassailable.

I've offered, both here and in other similar threads, citation after citation of the incredibly miniscule incidence of proven voter fraud. This is not just based on random complaints, but upon entities like the Bush Justice Department and various State officials actively looking for in-person voter fraud. The evidence they find and offer is that it is happening at a rate of about 0.00002 percent at best. Type in "actual voter fraud" into Google and see for yourself.

All but the most draconian of the new voter ID laws allow for any photo ID. If the various old IDs can be faked, the new ones can as well. These new requirements just don't make any sense at all if you're trying to stop in person voter fraud ... but they make all kinds of sense if you're trying to suppress voting on the parts of certain groups as Republican leaders have openly admitted multiple times now.
