Supreme Court to Tackle Vote Fraud Case

All eyes will be on New Hampshire Wednesday morning for the first true primary in the 2008 elections. But even as hardy New Englanders trudge to the polls, something at least as consequential will happening in Washington, D.C., where the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a major case on election law.

As I explain in my Townhall column today, the controversy surrounds Indiana’s requirement that voters show photo identification when they cast their ballot. The case is significant because a loss at the Supreme Court could erode similar laws in other states. It’s an issue worth following, even if it means taking a break from the horse race.

UPDATE — Jan. 7, 5:24 p.m.: On my flight home yesterday, I read an interesting piece in the New York Times Magazine about touch-screen voting machines. It’s a good article, but it fails to touch on what I think is an equally important issue with vote fraud: individuals who scam the system.

We know there are (at least) 12-20 million foreigners currently living illegally in the U.S. We also know that the vast majority of them want to stay here, and that they are willing to commit illegal acts in order to do so. We also know that document fraud is rampant in the illegal alien community. Phony voter registration cards can be purchased on the streets of Phoenix for just a few dollars, and that is probably the case in every other major city in the U.S. Given these facts, it would take a pretty naive individual to believe that illegal aliens are not already voting illegally in U.S. elections. If the Supreme Court fails to uphold the photo I.D. requirements already in place in AZ and several other states, then Vincente Fox’s prediction will be proved right: Mexico will be able to take political control of our states without ever having to fire a shot.

Interesting to note that the republican leadership in Palm Beach county FL examined the voter registration records in FL and NY. They found 14 instances of voters voting twice, once in NY and again in FL. The cases were referred to the States Attorney in Palm Beach County (Yes, the same one involved the the 2000 election)Surprise! The state of FL says it’s no crime to vote twice. This is the same county where people can’t poke a hole in a piece of paper with a sharp stick.
