Voter fraud, What Voter Fraud?

From the Denver Post: Secretary of State Scott Gessler said Friday his office had found 35 noncitizens who have voted in Colorado elections, but in the face of criticism over how his office has tried to identify them, Gessler said he would not move forward with proposed regulations to deal with suspected noncitizen voters until after the election.
Gessler, a Republican, blamed the federal government for not giving him access to a Department of Homeland Security database quickly enough to check the citizenship status of registered voters.
Critics on the left questioned whether even the finding of 35 people identified as noncitizens was accurate, saying the federal database sometimes is in error.
"We confirmed our current voter registration has vulnerabilities," Gessler said in a statement. "It is unfortunate the federal government dragged its feet for a year, putting us in a difficult position for the coming November election. For now, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the current challenge provisions, while we develop better procedures for the future."

Another difference between liberals and conservatives.  The conservatives realize that when there is an illegal vote cast, it cancels a legal vote that was cast.  Liberals don't care that soldiers throughout the history of the United States fought and died for citizens of the United States to cast legal votes.
The conservatives wish to have voter ID, which is at best, a minor inconvenience to some people, and the liberals are like ostriches who put their head in the sand and say it's not a problem and we should do nothing to curb illegal voting.  What plan have liberals come up with?    Nothing.
So, 35 voters have voted in Colorado and may or may not have made a difference in a political race, but elections have been decided by less than 35 votes in just about every election season, so, it may have made had a difference.
