It is sad when this is what politics has come to.

A conspiracy to disenfranchise voters. They are trying to do the same thing in Wisconsin, but were just rebuked: http://www.madison.com/tct/news/top5/index.php?ntid=310907&source=rss

That's a perfectly valid argument when you're designing and vetting the process - not so much after voting has started. At this point, you have to prove fraud is taking place. I really wish both parties would address these concerns and take a hard look at the voting process after elections (and well clear of the next one), but it always becomes politicized at the last minute.
