So all knowing sage, once again, tell us how is requiring photo ID is going to 'SURPRESS" (not slow down) a segment of Arkansas voters since your post clearly demonstrates you don't have a clue about actual Election Day activity at a polling site.
Sigh, I hate it when a superior being brings a knife to a gun fight.

I agree with Citizen1, election fraud is a better choice of words, more encompassing. As previously stated, absentee ballot fraud is the primary vehicle followed by those assisting "disabled" voters, followed by individual acts including lack of trained poll workers, or perhaps untrainable poll workers. But there have been enough single and double diget decided local races in recent years to crack down on all types of election fraud. Poll worker and voter training is a key aspect. Some legislation to be introduced will also help with those "assisting" voters. While swaying an obscure constable election in Rooster Poot is insignificant to Citizen 1, it is not insignificant to the losing candidate and all are entitled to a fair election regardless of the race. That is the point many are missing but would not if they were the losing candidate.

I, Citizen1, do support Citizens First in their efforts to switch emphasis from voter ID fraud to election fraud.

As my past rants state and the post states, only an absolute non-thinking idiot would think that the threat of fraudulent votes could come from fraud the ID checking would solve.

One must fraudulently register to vote months in advance and THEN go to various polls and vote in order to cast fraudulent votes.

The most industrious perp could hardly visit 10 polls in a day. Can't revote in the same polling place and not be noticed. My poll workers remember me from election to election.

10 fake votes would hardly sway an obscure constible election in Rooster Poot, AR.

Election OFFICIAL fraud is the main threat to a scam to actually alter and outcome.

Sure there are a minute amount of races every couple years where the votes totals decided in single digits, but statistically insignificant.

There are different titles for it... but it's common practice that one person be trained a bit more and take the lead as "election inspector" at the polling station. And of course she/he may call the office if a difficult question arises. In my experience working polls in several states this works very, very well.
