The Sixth Myth About Voter Fraud

There's a must read editorial in the Washington Post regarding five myths that Republicans are floating around regarding the need for voter suppression laws.  It includes the usual ones:

  1. Voter fraud is widespread.
  2. Voter ID won't disenfranchise anyone.
  3. Voter suppression is cheap.
  4. You can't fight voter suppression.
  5. Voter fraud laws aren't strong enough.
I would humbly point out a sixth myth.

The sixth myth is that Voter ID laws address the real problem area of voter fraud: The absentee ballot.
