Do you remember all the conservative scaremongering about widespread voter fraud last fall? The fears that Obama was about to steal the election? McCain's wild accusations that ACORN's voter-registration drives were possibly "perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country" and "destroying the fabric of democracy?"
It should come as no surprise that, once again, it was all bullshit.
As Ken Silverstein noted at Harper's, Hamilton County Special Prosecutor Michael O'Neill has completed an investigation and published a report. Can you guess what he found?
One person improperly cast a single ballot; he turned himself in because he felt guilty.
I fully expect the same GOP scare tactics to get a great deal of media attention as the 2010 midterms approach. [Note to the "liberal" media: can you please not fall for it next time?]
