When is voter fraud really voter fraud? Apparently only when a Democrat wins...

..at least that's the case according to John Fund, family-values wife-beater, and permanent right-wing voter-fraud conspiracy theorist of the WSJ. The election yesterday in Wisconsin (the result of which now turns-out to be somewhat 'ongoing' due to legal maneuverings from the republican loser) shows that a previously secure state supreme court seat for the republicans was up for grabs, due, in no small part, to the anti-worker policies of the new republican state dictator, Scott (I love Koch) Walker.

His logic goes thusly, the Democratic contender appears to have won by roughly 200 votes, ergo, there was voter fraud.

This, of course, completely ignores the massive grass-roots response to the luddite proposals put forth by the new dictator as a possible basis for the election results (the republican was favoured at one point by as much as 20 points) and instead indicates to Fund, one of the toadiest of right-wing toads, that it simply must be voter fraud. If he had squealed as loud or as long about the blatant election thefts that took place in Florida in 2000, and Ohio in 2004, I might be willing to listen to him, but because he only bleats about this when a republican is on the losing end, my bullshit detector immediately goes into overdrive. In the end that means there is only one inevitable conclusion to be had. John Fund is entirely full of shit.
