So the administration has shifted to focus on voter fraud.
Uh, no, they've shifted to deliberately disenfranchising ELIGIBLE VOTERS because those voters do not support the party in power.
This is not "focusing on voter fraud" in the sense that you mean it. This is "focusing on voter fraud" in the sense that voter fraud is their goal, their objective, and their highest purpose.
So you say. If it is true, I shall certainly hear much more about it, for Americans are very good at digging at things until they are out in the daylight. Just look at the much smaller Plame affair and the enormous publicity it got. Or the time when they tried to impeach Bill Clinton for having sex with some nice girl. If there really is a massive manipulation of the election system, I am sure it will shake the very foundations of the Capitol for years to come.
Big, government confidence-shaking scandals can take decades to come out, long after their perpetrators are out of the scene. The "little stuff", especially if it's prurient like Lewinsky, is much harder to keep a lid on.
