Voter fraud in the U.S.A.

New York Times' columnist Paul Krugman has yet another article worth reading today (free registration required to read it online) regarding attempts in the U.S. to make voting in the upcoming election difficult if not impossible for certain populations (i.e., blacks, Democrats).

Earlier this week former employees of Sproul & Associates (operating under the name Voters Outreach of America), a firm hired by the Republican National Committee to register voters, told a Nevada TV station that their supervisors systematically tore up Democratic registrations.

Krugman lists a number of other documented examples. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be grabbing a lot of media attention. Why not??? Every democratic nation should be absolutely outraged. Hell, people with guns flip out when it's suggested there should be some restraints on their "rights" to bear arms! Who's flipping out about thousands of people losing their right to vote?

The sad fact is that when a country like the U.S. has this kind of corruption and voter fraud, and it goes unchecked, it's going to encourage similar behaviour in other democratic countries.

What the heck has gone so wrong???
