Barack Obama’s involvement with ACORN and the subsequent allegations and investigations of voter fraud as a result of their voter ‘registration’ efforts has caused
quite a stir in the blogosphere as well as some MSM outlets. You can find plenty of sources for information on this story around the net. Whether you believe the allegations or not, voter fraud is not just a concern this year and some other aspects of voting trends may suggest opportunities for those who would like to stack the deck in an election.
A trend showing increases in absentee as well as early voting. Changes in law and technology that befuddle election officials. Inability of those officials to verify voter identities as is happening in the state of Wisconsin where the AG is pressuring officials to get it done correctly before the election. Has to make you wonder if there is truth to the suspicion of attempts at voter fraud.

MADISON, Wis. - From Madison to the suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin elections officials are reporting strong interest in absentee voting for this year’s presidential race.
In Madison, the city clerk’s office is prepared for up to 40,000 voters to cast their ballots through the mail or in-person at clerk’s offices instead of on Election Day. A record 25,000 did so in 2004 in the state capital.

Ohio, where residents are seen voting last March, is sorting out new rules.
The biggest worry, though, is that those three problems are most acute in the half-dozen swing states that could decide the election.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Election Day will be something of an afterthought for tens of millions of Americans — they’ll be voting well ahead of time.
In fact, six weeks out from Election Day, some voters in Kentucky, South Carolina and Virginia already are done.
Nationwide, about a third of the electorate is expected to vote early this year, thanks to expanded early voting provisions and fewer restrictions on absentee voting, researchers project. In all, more than 30 states allow any registered voter to cast an early ballot, some in person and others by mail.

I put nothing out of the realm of possibility when it comes to getting the votes these activists want.
How in the world do we trust the polls?

Even before all the allegations (and some investigations, etc) of voter fraud I was curious of the precision of ballot processing in this country. Not just because of the Florida debacle but simply based on other bureaucratic incompetence in other matters. From the days of hand counting only to the various newer methods and of course all the problems with electronic processing, I have been concerned about how much error exists and what effect it has on the outcome.
