Criminey!

Interesting article on the phenomenon of double voting:


Other investigations revealed similar results elsewhere. The Orlando Sentinel found that 68,000 Florida voters are also registered in Georgia or North Carolina (the only two states it checked), 1,650 of whom voted twice in 2000 or 2002. The Kansas City Star discovered 300 "potential" cases of individual voter fraud, including Kansans voting in Missouri and St. Louisans voting in both the city and the surrounding suburbs.

Apparently, the number of double registrants is very large because not all states are diligent about removing voters who register elsewhere, or notifying elsewheres when new voters register in their districts. The number of "double voters" is far smaller.

But, y'know what they say...[finish that thought, cause I can't find a good aphorism]
