Both fraud and disenfranchised need to be addressed- we need to stop allowing one party to claim that only one side of that problem is real.

Why? Wouldn't you be happier to have it confirmed that voter fraud was/is exceedingly rare? That would certainly be a better indicator of the health of our system. I think that's what we all want. “I just hope that this puts lie to the frequent Democratic claims that voter fraud doesn’t exist.”

I do appreciate that you were willing to look at materials that might have challenged your views. For anyone who missed it the first time, here's the comment that Michael is referring to: http://www.poligazette.com/2008/10/27/back-to-the-fence/#comment-74871 If you're a reader and are still on the fence before going to the polls today, please read it! Oh, and Michael as a McCain supporter I agree about accepting the results. I do feel some concern about the voter fraud issues, but even with that I don't think the election should be contested (and although I don't want an Obama landslide, I actually hope that if he does win that it will be enough of a margin so that the legitimacy isn't questionable.) Having said that though, I think it's essential that the fraud be thoroughly investigated and I just hope that this puts lie to the frequent Democratic claims that voter fraud doesn't exist.

I read your article, and I thank you for sharing your thoughts - but I did not find your case for not voting for McCain to be enough to move me. But, of course, that's the point of blogs - an exchange of ideas. More on my blog article shortly. Well, I’ll be off to vote for McCain in a few hours when the polls open here on the west coast.
