The Justice Department yesterday said it will send out 1,090 federal poll watchers to monitor elections in 25 states, three times as many as in 2000, as Democrats and Republicans squabbled in an escalating war of words over potential voter fraud and intimidation.
    In Florida, election officials in Broward County, a trouble spot in 2000, yesterday began sending out about 10,000 absentee ballots to replace ones that vanished after being mailed earlier this month.
    Florida Republicans, who think that thousands of voter registrations collected in that state are invalid, said they fear that sending out duplicate absentee forms could open the door to more fraud. Democrats expressed concern that some people will receive their absentee ballots too late to cast votes.

Justice Department personnel from its civil rights division will be on hand in Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Nevada. Their job, department officials said, will be to check for violations of federal election law, such as ballot tampering and destruction of voter-registration materials.
    In 2000, it dispatched 317 poll watchers.

Can anyone 'splane' to me the process by which fraud actually turns into a cast vote?

I'm not talking about the old garden variety type fraud where the dems wait until late on election day, see how many votes they need and then rig the machinery.

I'm talking about the pre election, voter registration type fraud they're speaking about today.

Do the dems get a bunch of people to actually go to a bunch of different voting locations and vote multiple times..is that it??
