During negotiations in conference committee to resolve differences between the measures, Senate Democrats stripped both the House and Senate anti-vote fraud provisions out of the bill and offered the narrower bill as a potential compromise, Bond said. He said the proposal will make it "easier to vote and easier to cheat."The anti-fraud provision passed in the Senate, and now the Democrats in committee are trying to remove it. They are beyond shameless (unfortunately, we knew that already).

Why are the Republicans screaming all over the media about this. The Democrats do not want to prevent vote fraud. Outrageous.

The republican house should take the Senate bill that was passed and pass it themselves. Therefore there would be no differences between the house and senate versions, and it would have to be sent to Bush for signature.

I thought it was already against the law to commit fraud in an election? Since we are not going to prosecute anyone for it, we must need more laws that we won't prosecute anyone for. Just like gun control laws.

" Senate Democrats want to pass a narrower bill without anti-fraud provisions... "
This statement is the core of the belief systems of the Socialists, the Democrats and the Unions...

Their way is for the people to vote, then rearrange the outcome to suit.
Like Mexico does it.

or some other proof of identity, such as a utility billWhat a joke. A utility bill is now proof of citizenship? It gets more absurd and hopeless every day. This tough provision, which the Dems are amazingly fighting against, would do nothing to stop the 1 million illegal voters in California, or anywhere else. You have to laugh to keep from crying. Our Republic is lost, I fear.
