Voter Fraud Tempest in a Teacup

Allegations of voter fraud are surfacing all over the country. This FOXNews.com story lists many of the complaints from both the right and the left. The DNC today responded to a post on Drudge that claimed the DNC activist "manual" called for pre-emptive claims of voter intimidation on the part of Republicans. Their response claims that the single sheet memo, posted on Drudge's website, was taken out of context.

After having read the memo, the story, and the DNC response, it doesn't seem that the supposed context of the page makes the tactic any more valid. The manual clearly urges activists to notify the press and officials of "historical" GOP voter intimidation, and to utilize minority voices to lend creedence to the claims.
