Something the Dog Said wrote: Because in this instance there was no voter fraud, except for the Republican politician. The OP mislead with the title of the thread. Photo IDs would have no effect on this particular instance since it had to do with alleged forgery on petitions to get on the ballot in the primary. It had absolutely nothing to do with fraud in voting.
The case was blown open three years after the election, when one of the alleged participants in the scheme came forward to authorities.
26-year-old Democratic worker and Voter Registration Board employee Lucas Burkett told prosecutors that in January 2008, he was ordered to forge presidential petitions for then-Sen. Barack Obama to put his name on the primary ballot. He claims that the plot was hatched and carried out inside the St. Joseph County Democratic Party headquarters, and that he even forged some of the signatures himself.
So now what? Lucas Burkett will be branded as a liar who is trying to spoil Barry's chances in 2012? Was Mr. Burkett was actually a covert operative planted by Dick Cheney and Halliburton? There has to be more to the story, certainly something much more sinister than a young man who needed to clear his conscious.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Hey, if the people who plant bombs at Planned Parenthood Clinics, and abortion-provider clinics, and Democratic Headquarters offices can all be plants from the Democratic Party, (see previous hysterical allegations from previous threads), then we can assume that these guys were probably Republican Dirty-Tricks plants from "GOP Department of Rat-F**king") (See "Donald Segretti" for the reference...)

Except they are not plants... the story explains who they are. They are lefties, socialists, Democrats.
