The thing that bothers me most, is the absentee ballot. That is where fraud is easiest. All you have to do is register, using a valid address, then send in your absentee ballot. Who would know?

Did you see where students were coming in to Ohio, registering to vote, voting, then going back home? I'll bet they vote back home too.
