Notice the careful avoidance of the "f" word by the "Republican insiders" quoted in the article. They talk instead about Democrats "rallying their troops" to "bring them home" in final weeks of the campaign. You would have to think that at least some of those "troops" are no longer among the living. The GOP had better be prepared to counteract the fraud as best as possible if large gains are to be be made.
Whoops, and thanks justiceseeker93.
