Voter fraud is a straw man anyway. The majority of voter fraud was done by the parties trying to suppress voters. There is very little real voter fraud.
Asking someone to verify who they are with a pictured ID is voter suppression?
A new report by the Pew Center on the States finds that more than 1.8 million dead people are currently registered to vote. And 24 million registrations are either invalid or inaccurate
. Without a picture ID required, no one would ever use a false name of a dead person to vote, or a sick elderly person, or show up to vote as a family member or friend that didn't vote.
SEATTLE, Washington (CNN) -- Clifton Mitchell helped register nearly 2,000 voters for the community group ACORN. But not one of them actually existed.
Clifton Mitchell filled out voter cards using fake birthdays, Social Security numbers and baby-name books.
"I regret it. I paid the price for it," he said.
Mitchell was convicted last year and spent nearly three months in prison. He's one of the few ACORN workers convicted of voter registration fraud.
Today, he lives with his wife and two boys, ages 3 and 1, in a small apartment in suburban Seattle, Washington. Mitchell said he scammed the system because, "I needed money; I had to support my family and I was new to the area. It was the only job I had."
Mitchell said ACORN threatened to close the office if he and his team didn't meet their quota to register 13 to 20 voters a day. So, without consulting their supervisors, he said, they came up with a plan.
"We came up with the idea: Let's make fraudulent cards. I tell my crew, 'I don't care how you get 'em, just get 'em,' " Mitchell recalled. Watch Mitchell explain how they created voters »
They took addresses from homeless shelters, used fake birthdays and Social Security numbers and took names from baby books to create voters out of thin air.

"Every day I'd go to the library and get a newspaper," Mitchell said. "I had one guy who'd go to the phone book. Everyone had different methods."
The secretary of state called it "the worst case of voter registration fraud in the history of the state of Washington." ACORN was fined $25,000 and ordered to improve its oversight.
The group is under investigation in 10 states for voter registration fraud, and Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign has accused ACORN of trying to rig the election for Democrats.
But University of Washington law professor Eric Schnapper says the idea of fake cards turning into real votes is a myth.
No, they just go through the time and effort and go to jail to make "fake" cards, just for the fun of it!

These dangerous, backbencher hillbillies....
We all live back in the country, you see
And drink that good ole southern sweet tea
We can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
And hunt them woods all day long
Ain't too many things these ole boys cant do
We grow them vegetables and chickens too
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
if you ain't into that we don't give a damn
You can't starve us out
And you can't makes us run
We know how to use that ole shot gun
Were from Oklahoma City and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
Your name calling ain't worth a dime
And we can skin a buck any ole time
And a hillbilly will survive
