It would be interesting if the investigations were ever allowed to run the course without lawsuits and bureaucratic interference. I'm certain we all are aware that fraudulent voting is taking place in certain states but to what extent is a mystery. The is a large contingency that is really against voter IDs and any strong finding would really enforce the need for some type of federal ID voter verification. If we are honest, voting procedures and technology in the United States are stuck in the stone age. The reason why may be intereseting.
